Jabra announced today (November 11) the launch of its flagship Elite 8 true wireless earbuds and the military-grade ruggedized Elite 10 Active true wireless earbuds in Taiwan. Both earbuds are designed with the latest Bluetooth 8 specifications, supporting more stable connections and multi-device pairing and switching. They also support Bluetooth 5.3's corresponding LE Audio Ready high-bandwidth playback function and Auracast Ready broadcast application function.
The main difference between the two headphones is that the Elite 10 improves sound quality and adds Dolby Atmos panoramic sound and head-tracking immersive audio technology, while the Elite 8 Active is mainly designed for sports use, so it places special emphasis on sweat resistance and accidental drop protection, while also increasing stability when worn.
Among them, the Elite 10 is positioned as Jabra's flagship headphone product and is the first Jabra headphone to support Dolby Atmos audio technology. It can also identify the direction of head rotation through built-in sensors and adjust the sound output positioning through Dolby Head Tracking technology, allowing users to have a more immersive spatial audio listening experience.
The semi-in-ear earbuds feature Jabra ComfortFit technology, which reduces ear pressure and enhances active noise cancellation by more than 2x. They also automatically adjust the noise cancellation level through environmental sensing. They also feature six microphones for six hours of battery life, which can be extended to 6 hours with the charging case. The case itself supports Qi wireless charging, and the earbuds support Google and Microsoft Fast Pairing technology, as well as multi-device connectivity.
Elie 10 is available in four colors: cocoa brown, cream white, titanium black, and mirror black. The suggested retail price is NT$8990. Purchases made at designated channels will receive a free PORTER CATCH coin purse.
As for the Elite 8 Active, it focuses on sports needs. The earphones themselves support IP68 dust and water resistance, and the charging box also supports IP54 protection. It is also claimed to be sweat-resistant and has passed the US MIL-STD 810H military-standard protection 9 certifications. It can be completely waterproof within a vertical distance of 1.5 meters underwater, and is resistant to moisture, high temperature, rain erosion, and can be used normally in high-altitude environments.
In terms of appearance design, the Elite 8 Active uses a ShakeGrip coating to ensure stability when worn, thereby reducing the chance of falling during exercise. It also supports Dolby sound effects and uses 6 sets of microphones to achieve active noise reduction effects that can automatically adjust to the environment. In addition, it can also maintain wind noise suppression effects when the transparency mode is turned on through Wind Neutralizing HearThrough technology.
Jabra標榜Elite 8 Active通過長達11周的加速腐蝕測試，並且通過40度高溫、93%濕度環境連續使用2小時，以及透過鹽水潑濺15分鐘與40度高溫熱烘15分鐘等嚴格環境考驗，更在極限馬拉松運動員陳彥博在參與賽事時，使其能透過耳機播放音樂維持平穩心情完成賽事。
The Elite 8 Active is available in four colors: caramel milk, navy blue, dark black, and graphite black. The suggested retail price is NT$6990, and a Blender Bottle stainless steel sports water bottle will be given as a gift when purchased.
