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.

  3. I majorly prefer over or on ear headphones (like Model #: 100-96300000-20) because in ear hurt me! Unless I can find child size or really slim bullet buds, they are all too big for my ear canals.

  7. I just got back to walking/running and using the traditional ear headphones are driving me crazy… Always falling out of my ear and the sound cutting in and out. I think wireless could be the solution… Truly wireless.. JABRA elite

  8. Would love to experience wireless. Would be very awesome if I liked it and not have to deal with wires.

  9. I’m typically use wired ear buds but I’d love to try truly wireless so that I don’t have to worry about cables any more and I’d like to be able to listen to music while my phone is charging.

  10. I try over the ears because others always seem to fall out. They have been immensely improved so I would try the “in the ears” but also would love to try the wireless. That would be a new experience for me.

  17. I have never tried the truly wireless but think I would like them best. I find the over the ear to be a little uncomfortable after a while. Thanks for the giveaway.

  21. I’d like to try the Jabra Elite 45e headphones because they look very comfortable and the battery life is good.

  27. I prefer the over the ear headphones as I have never been able to find ear buds that fit or will stay in my ears.

  30. Never tried over the ear or wireless. Will love to try them. My favourite so far are over the head ones.

  31. Wow they are both super nice but I think I would prefer the Jabra ELITE active 65t because I like the idea of not having any wires to deal with! I also really like the sound of noise cancelling, especially since I’ll be working on my computer a lot doing video editing as I am headed back to school in September. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  33. I like the wireless ones, especially the Jabra Elite Active 65t In-Ear Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones.

  37. I Prefer over the ear as my ears get sore when I use the in ear for an extended period of time

  38. I like in-ear ear phones, it’s easier to lay down with them in and move around. I find the other styles get in the way more. I also think they are more convenient to travel due to their compact nature.

  39. I love over the ear earphones, they are way more comfortable and I feel they drown out more of the outside noise.

  45. I’d love to try out these headphones because I rely on transit but like having my phone tucked away due to changes in stops and not wanting to misplace them. But I also don’t want to lose headphones and having them be wireless but still attached to each other would be extra convenient!!!

  48. The ELITE 45e are my choice of the two headphones as if one pop’s out of the ear it’s not going to get lost being attached to the other earbud. The single ear buds are just too easy to loose one while jogging.

  50. Truly wireless so that I can walk around and do physical activities without having anything in my way.
