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. They help alleviate fatigue when traveling, which can result from exposure to low-frequency noise for an extended period of time. You can even use noise-canceling headphones if you don’t want to listen to another audio source but do want to cancel out background noise

  4. I would love to win these for my husband. He has to fly sometimes on a prop plane and it is quite noisy compared to a jet. These would be great for him!

  9. Would definitely use these on my daily commute to listen to my favorite podcasts. That, and to drown out the train noise 🙂

  10. I would love to use these on my daily walks with my dog, it would be nice to have, thanks for the chance

  16. I work from home on the computer, so I would use it to listen to concentration\relaxation music while I work.

  19. There’s a lot of TV audio that I can do without while my partner enjoys her favourites…The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Voice, Tennis Tournaments, The Amazing Race, etc. etc.

  22. I can play my video games without disturbing my landlords or roommates! I usually work night shifts so my free time is hours after everyone else in the building has gone to sleep.

  23. This would be a great upgrade for my Jabra Elite 65T. They’ve been great so far I love the wireless freedom! It’s just the isolation is lacking. I could only imagine with more noise cancelling I can listen to my favorite music / podcasts and actually zone out and be immersed! or just block out the noise on the bus ride home and enjoy the silence.

  26. During my commute! Listening to music while reading on the bus to work, then listening to podcasts on my 1 hour walk home.

  30. It would allow me to listen to what I want when my sister is watching something I don’t want to hear.

  32. They would be great for listening to podcasts and watching shows on my phone, on the way to work and for travelling the world. Especially in a noisey airplane!

  35. While I am walking about getting things done. It would help with my anxiety to drown out the other noises!

  41. I love listening to podcasts when walking so the Jabra Elite 85h headphones.would be put to good use!

  45. I would definitely use them when I am exercising…especially the treadmill which makes so much noise…..listening to music would be a pleasure!

  46. Listening to podcasts or music while doing housework would be a great use of these headphones.

  47. It would allow me to play my xbox in full sound and not disturb the family. I don’t get to play often, it would be nice to get the best out of the down time I do get.
