Headphones come in many shapes and sizes. There are those that entirely cover the ears, and are great for sitting still, letting the music cover you like a warm, security blanket. Then there are those designed for people on the move. That’s what Jabra has created with their new ELITE line of headphones and earbuds. Take them on the bus, wear them while working out. Listen to your music anywhere, during any activity, and in any weather. Enter this contest and if you may win one of 4 pairs that Best Buy is giving away!

Headphones come in a dazzling array of styles and designs

There are many types of headphones out there to suit everyone’s personal style. Audiophiles and studio engineers gravitate toward the over-ear models, that surround the ear with cushioning, isolating them from outside noises, so the listener can concentrate on just the sounds provided through the phones.

Very similar to those are the on-ear headphones. I use this style at work because they have excellent sound, but allow some of the sounds around me in so that I am aware when a coworker asks me question. They enable me to stay alert to the people around me, which can be important at work.

Then there are a variety of in-ear styled headphones, including wired versions and many styles of wireless headphones.

Wireless headphones are for everyone

Many people think that wireless headphones are for people who have the most modern type of cell phone, one that may not have a headphone jack. Alternatively, many may assume that since the new Jabra headphones have “elite” in their name they are designed for elite athletes. However, these headphones are great for you and me, average people who love our music, want to be listen to our music anywhere, and don’t what our headphones to be destroyed by a little moisture like sweat, or the some dust we encounter on a run around our neighbourhoods or just getting off public transit.

The prizes in this contest will allow you more freedom than you are probably accustomed to with headphones. We are giving away 2 different models from the Jabra ELITE line. My favourite feature is that they do not need to connect to a phone with a wire: they connect to your phone, or tablet, or computer wirelessly using Bluetooth.

The Jabra wireless headphone prizes

The Jabra ELITE 45e noise cancelling headphones enable you to focus on your music and workout, and escape the noisy distractions around you. The flexible neck band allows you to pop them out when you want, while keeping them securely resting around your neck.

The Jabra ELITE active 65t noise cancelling truly wireless earpbuds inconspicuously rest in your ears delivering amazing audio for approximately 5 hours on a single charge—that should be ample time for your commute, or your workout (the ELITE 45e headphones will last up to about 8 hours thanks to having more room for a larger battery). Both Jabra models feature dual microphones, so when you take calls using these, both sides of the conversation will be crystal clear.

I know I want both of these, but definitely I am leaning towards the ELITE 45e as best for my needs. I like the extra battery life, and the fact that I can just rest them on my shoulders when not in use. How about you?

HOW TO ENTER

This contest is easy to enter, but you can only enter once. In a comment beneath this article, tell us which headphone style is your favourite and why. Perhaps you are a traditionalist who loves the over-ear experience. Personally, I’ve never tried Truly Wireless so I would like to try a pair to see if the freedom from wires works for me. Let us know your preference and why, and you may win one of these great Jabra headphones.

WHAT YOU CAN WIN

At the end of this contest we will select four (4) winners from all eligible entries. Two winners will receive a set of Jabra ELITE 45e headphones, and two winners will receive the Best Buy exclusive blue and copper coloured version of the Jabra ELITE active 65t truly wireless earbuds.

This contest runs from July 20th until August 5th.

Remember you can only enter once. However, you must know someone, a family member or friend, who would love a new pair of Jabra headphones. Share this contest with them so they too have a chance to win.

Good luck.

  4. I definitely prefer the wireless earbuds and the Jabra Elite Active 65t sure do look like the cream of that crop.

  5. I would love to try the wireless earphones because of the freedom it would give

  7. I would like to try the wireless ones because my baby wouldn’t be able to pull on the cord

  8. I would love to try the wireless earphones since I always seem to be getting the cord tangled and caught.

  11. The in-ear headphones with the volume controls on the cable is my favorite. I use these on the airplane with an adapter I have to get really good sound control on the movies I like to watch. Love it when the control tab has treble/bass adjustments for a great sound experience. Noise cancelling is a great idea, because planes are always noisy with a high pitch hissing sound. Especially interested in the blue and copper coloured version of the Jabra ELITE active 65t truly wireless earbuds. Thank you for a great contest prize!

  12. I like them both. I guess I would say wireless if I had to pick because I have never owned a pair before & would like to try. You wouldn’t have to worry about catching wires when working out with them.

  13. I prefer earbuds, so I can have one ear without a bud in it so I can hear what’s going on around me.

  14. I would love the Jabra Elite Active 65t In-Ear Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Truly Wireless Headphones . I am sick and tired of the ones around my neck. They get caught in everything,

  22. I like anything that is truly noise-cancelling and doesn’t hurt my ears. My iPhone buds are pretty good, compact. But, beats headphones are also good, just bulky. Not great for travel.

  23. My favourite style are the over the ear headphones, like the Jabra ELITE 45e (nice to have the neck band so you can take them out and let them hang around your neck), but part of me would be curious to try the truly wireless Jabra ELITE active 65t headphones.

  27. I like the JABRA elite active 65t as it is for active people, I can work with the 5 hour battery

  28. I’ve tried Truly Wireless so I know a pair would change the experience in providing me the freedom from wires and piece and quiet for my husband.

  34. I am an earbud fan! They also double as earplugs. You can listen to music or watch a movie and not be bothered by noise around you. Great for travelling!

  36. Would love to try the wireless ones as I have not used them. Also my cat loves to chew the wires on my other ear buds.

  37. All I have ever tried is traditional headphones.. and they are so limiting. I would love to try wireless.

  39. Wireless earbuds are the best option for me, since cords always get tangled and yank out of my ear when I least expect it.

  40. Wireless earbuds would have to be my choice, as any sort of wire tends to get tangled up – and then, yank!

  42. I want to say the true wireless buds but I haven’t tried them yet (really want to try a pair with my smart watch to take away cords and phone). Since I haven’t, I prefer corded ear buds over bluetooth ones.

  46. If I went wireless, I could get so much more accomplished, with the added freedom 🙂

  50. I find the over ear headphones are more comfortable for me. I’d love The Jabra ELITE 45e in my ears (or around my neck)
