Jabra Elite 85h Noise Cancelling headphonesWhether you’re on the bus or in the office, one of the greatest pleasures can be to tune out the world around you, and a pair of effective noise-cancelling headphones are just the tool for helping you create your little universe as you go about the day. Jabra has released their Elite 85h headphones, and we have a few to give away to our lucky readers who want superior ANC headphones. Find out below how you could win your very own pair.

Tune out and tune in with Jabra Elite 85h headphones

I work in a busy office with a lot of people. As much as I love the high-energy environment, there are times when I need to filter out the ambient noise so I can focus on my work.

But up until recently I had a very basic pair of on-ear headphones. They were wired, used a battery for noise-cancelling, and their ear cushions caused sore ears after an hour or two. And though noise-cancelling makes me productive in terms of output, it also tends to make me a little unaware of my surroundings.

Right now is one of those focus times, actually; I’m sitting at my desk listening to a rather good cover of “…Baby One More Time” while wearing my new Jabra Elite 85h headphones (see right).  And let me tell you, these things are great.

Jabra Elite 85h: headphones packed with features

I’m finding that my headphone problems have ceased with the Jabra Elite 95h headphones. Active Noise Cancelling does just what you’d imagine, but they are also equipped with HearThrough technology which dulls background noise to a level that leaves you adequately aware of your surroundings. I can also let the headphones do the work with SmartSound which detects my surroundings and ambient noise levels. This means people can get my attention without tapping my shoulder or awkwardly waving their hand in my face.

The other thing I’m loving is the on-ear detection. I hate missing parts of songs and  because these headphones detect when they’re on and off your ears, I don’t have to fumble to pause my music when a coworker comes by. And if I wear them out of the office, they are rain-resistant, so they are totally commute friendly.

But don’t take it from me, see what Jacob McCourt had to say in his review. He discusses the style, controls, and sound of these headphones in depth.

ANC Headphones you want and need

Ok, so now you want a pair of your own Jabra Elite 85h headphones, don’t you? I can’t say I blame you; they are high quality headphones with a lot of cool features, and their noise-cancelling options are a game-changer for anyone that likes to use their headphones in a variety of environments.

  1. I would use these all the time this summer around my apartment. They are doing jackhammering in the garage and the noise is incredible. This would make my life livable again .

  7. The Jabra Elite 85h ANC headphones would make studying sooooo much easier. It’s so noisy here because there is a repaving project happening RIGHT OUTSIDE MY DOOR!

  15. Since I like to travel by bus, I would use them to listen to music or films through my tablet.

  16. That daily commute on the bus would be a lot more sweeter if I had a pair of these. Shut out the world and be at peace.

  18. The daily activity the Jabra Elite 85h ANC headphones would improve for me would be able to focus on my work activities when everyone is chatting around their cubicles. My introvert self will be appreciative.

  19. I love my family, but every now and then you just need to drown it all out and lose yourself in music. These would be a fantastic way to do that!

  24. These headphones would improve my daily walk as I could listen to music which would make the time fly by.

  26. I travel on flights to and from work and I hate when I miss the beverage cart because I’m zoned out. Having active noise canceling that I could change (noisy kids or gabby adults) would be a godsend.

  27. I stay up late at night and so as not to disturb others I keep the volume low, however that is getting too difficult for me to hear now that my hearing is borderline so these headphones would be ideal for me, whether it’s to listen to music or the TV they would make my life much easier and more enjoyable too.

  28. I like watching movies late at night and if the volume is low, it’s often difficult to catch some of the dialog. These Jabra Elite 85h noise-cancelling headphones would be a preferable alternative to subtitles, while also blocking the ambient noise of trains or traffic.

  29. I love listening to podcasts both outside and when doing housework, such as vacuuming. These headphones should be great to leave me aware of my surrounding but deaden (or at least soften) the background noises like the vacuum cleaner.

  31. I would love to use the Jabra Elite 95h headphones when I work out on my Max Trainer. Also would be great for listening to podcasts during my bus ride to work

  34. I work in a pretty noisy office – imagine how productive I could be! Honestly, I can barely concentrate with my ear buds on, I need these!!

  37. The headphones i currently use are not noise cancelling. With my granddaughter, who is two in the house this feature would be a welcome addition.

  39. I would love them to motivate me while walking outside or on the treadmill – help get me active!

  40. The Jabra Elite 85h ANC headphones would definitely make my gaming much more enjoyable – being able to hear all the sounds without the bothersome noise around me this time of the year (grass cutters, soil diggers, etc)!

  41. Working in my office! We are in cubicle land and I get tons of distractions/noise. This would help!

  44. I would use the Jabra Elite 85h ANC headphones at work to listen to music and cancel out distractions from conversations around my work area. Thanks!

  46. I would give these to my son so he could listen to his tablet so that the noise of his games doesn’t bug the heck out of me lol

  47. These headphones look cool I would take advantage of them when at work to listen to podcasts or audio books while working. I need to tune out the noises around me.

  50. The Jabra Elite 85h ANC headphones would improve using my treadmill. That thing is loud! and I like to listen to music or watch Netflix while on it.
