Another day, another set of wireless earphones vying for a spot in your daily carry arsenal. The Jabra Elite 5 is the latest addition to the Danish company's already extensive line of true wireless earbuds.
I put them through their paces for a few weeks and discovered the following.
Built and engineered to last.
The Elite 5 earphones, like all Jabra goods, are well-presented and solidly built – just like every other alternative on the market worth its salt. Despite the fact that the case and buds are primarily constructed of matte plastic (I received the Titanium Black version), nothing seems cheap to the touch, with the case hinges feeling firm and snappy and the earphones feeling sturdy but not too heavy.
The case includes standard USB-C charging, and Jabra claims that the Elite 5s have a lithium-ion battery that provides up to 36 hours of playing with active noise canceling (ANC) turned off, or 28 hours with ANC turned on – both when you add in the stored charge in the case. The earbuds can provide between seven and nine hours of listening time on a single charge, depending on whether or not ANC is used.
You won't get much in the way of exceptional looks with these buds, but it's always a good idea to have wearable electronics that you can outfit yourself with for any situation, and that will provide you great longevity anytime you need them for lengthy periods of time without access to charging.
The gel tips on the buds fit incredibly snugly within your ears in terms of fit and comfort. Depending on how you wear your earbuds, this may feel a little uncomfortable for extended durations of listening, or it may be a significant benefit if you plan to use them while moving around a bit, such as at the gym or on walks to work.
The fact that these earbuds included true tactile buttons on the sides of each bud meant that I got proper physical clicks when toggling them to play, pause, or skip music, as well as switch between the primary noise canceling settings while in use, was something I really liked about them.
With so many wireless earbuds these days depending on faulty touch-sensitive controls to operate functions (like as unintentionally skipping a song when I only wanted to hit pause), I appreciated the fact that I could press the buttons to receive adequate and palpable feedback at all times. Furthermore, pushing these buttons did not give me any discomfort, which only contributes to the Elite 5's ergonomics.
Working with electronic devices.
Connecting to a device is made possible using Bluetooth 5.2 Multipoint communication, and pairing is a reasonably simple job if you're using a smartphone and the Jabra Sound+ app. The Elite 5s also support Google's Fast Pair feature for Android users.
The Jabra Sound+ app is also required if you want to have the most control over the earbuds and fully tune them to your liking, with options like button modification, equalization, and even pre-loaded soundscapes accounting for the majority of what you can fiddle with.
Although the app's modifying choices were quite basic, there was little to complain about in terms of functioning, as every single element was efficiently altered via the app on the linked iPhone 14 Pro.
It's not overly bassy, yet it has enough presence.
In terms of overall sound performance, the Elite 5's sound falls into more neutral zone in terms of frequency response. It's not a bass-heavy pair of headphones, but that doesn't mean you can't listen to boomier music if that's what you prefer. More low-end-heavy EDM and rock tracks still have plenty of body and depth, but you won't get the most dynamic sound or the biggest separation when compared to other competing models.
This implies that the Jabra Elite 5s will appeal to individuals who want a more balanced sound signature overall, and the level of detail present at the higher end of the frequency curve will likely please you if you prefer a more analytical listening experience.
However, the equalization choices and presets offered on the app should give you enough room to modify the earbuds to create audio that is more tuned to your preferences.
If I had to select one flaw, it would be that the overall sound levels could be a little bit higher. However, as someone who appreciates music at a volume that is normally higher than the average listener, it shouldn't be an issue for most people.
Noise cancellation works well.
The Elite 5's active noise cancellation feature was mainly satisfactory, but I noticed that incidental loud noises — such as vehicle honks or a heavy object dropping nearby — could still be discerned while listening to some music at full blast.
However, for the goal of blocking background noises — such as droning on an airline, for example — the buds function well enough to warrant consideration if you're looking for a pair to take on commutes or for blocking out outside noise in an office or study environment.
Finally, I discovered that these earbuds performed admirably during calls, with the integrated microphone allowing my voice to be heard clearly by the other person on the line. Plus, the ability to adjust call volumes and activate an auto-answer feature make this an excellent choice for individuals who want earbuds for productivity as well as listening to music or viewing videos.
The final word.
Overall, I'd recommend the Jabra Elite 5's for a variety of reasons, including outstanding build quality, solid physical ergonomics, acceptable customization choices, great call performance, and well-rounded sound to round out a set of features that will fit the majority of everyday circumstances.
While there are certainly other options to consider if you want exceptional audio performance or class-leading noise cancellation, I'd say that these earbuds, priced at RM699 in Malaysia (S$164.80 in Singapore or US$149 in the United States), are definitely worth looking at for those looking for a pair for productivity combined with a well-rounded sound signature.
