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.

  2. I would prefer the Jabra Elite 45e, because of the flexible wire neckband and long lasting battery.

  3. I like in ears personally, if they have a good rubber ear bud. I can’t stand hard plastic in ears (looking at you Apple). Over ears are good too. I would really love wireless. It would be great for mowing the lawn and working out.

  4. I don’t like things in my ears as I have tinnitus, so a traditional headset for me, that said, I can go wired or wireless

  5. I would like to try wireless now as headsets I have owned in the past were not very good – I bet technology has improved

  7. I prefer true wireless headphones and would love the Jabra ELITE active 65t for the freedom of movement they provide! I use my headphones mainly while active. I just hate to find their cables all tangled.. and this cracky noise that indicates they got damaged and it’s time for new ones… this won’t happen with wireless headphones!

  10. I love over ear headphones because it feels and looks so much better but always sticked to in ear earphones since they’re a lot cheaper I really hope I win these. I would love it!!

  11. My boyfriend would absolutely love to have the Jabra elite active 65t headphones! He has a pair of wireless headphones and thinks the world over them. The fact that the Jabra elite headphones are super noise canceling would be his selling point!

  12. I usually go for the ear bud style of headphones, and can imagine that wireless ear buds would be great!

  13. Gotta call myself a traditionalist with the over the ear style, but am always willing to try something new.

  15. I would prefer to try the Jabra ELITE active 65t truly wireless earphones as working out and wires down mix well. You gotta have the complete freedom when going hard at the gym

  18. I had to switch to wireless earphones because my phone doesn’t have an audio jack and I discovered I prefer those!

  19. I’ve only ever used non-wireless ear buds so I would love to try your wireless ones. I’m sure they’re soooooooooooo much better! Oh yeah!

  20. We have mostly in-ear buds and haven’t used over ears in awhile so I guess that’s our preference. But I also haven’t tried truly wireless type of earbuds so I’d like to try those as well for the experience.

  21. I have a couple over the ear sets because I never found ear buds to do a good job of cancelling out noise.
    I love to try the Jabra

  24. Over-the-ear headphones are awesome, as some older devices lack Bluetooth – but I’ve never had a chance to try wireless earbuds, and moving around, listening to music without wires would be amazing! Thanks for this fantastic contest, and good luck to everyone!

  27. I recently just learned about wireless headphones and I’m intrigued to try them out! They’d be perfect for working out I can’t wait to give them a try.

  28. I prefer ear buds. For me ear buds are the best because I like to were only one as I do my day to day tasks. I know the sound is not the best but haveing a new daughter in the house I need to be able to hear her at all times.

  29. Jabara wireless headphones for sure! I didn’t even know this was a thing. These will be put to good use!

  31. These would be awesome for all my travel, I am for ever tangled in the wires on the airplanes in fact I have gotten up so often and caught them I have actually broken one wire on mine. These would also be great when I work out. I’d have to hide them as I have some family members who would want to try them, then they kind of take ownership you know what I’m talking about (kids).

  34. I used to only go for buds as they are comfortable in your ear and you have excellent sound buuuuut… recently i have gone for on ear headphones because I find that the inner ear or “buds” tend to block out all external sound that I sometimes find a disorientation when out in public/ crossing the road etc. Good to be able to hear what is going on around you at the same time. Getting the right balance is key! I haven’t tried Jabra but here I am so hopefully I will soon! 🙂

  40. I would love to go truly wireless with the 65t model. I’m tired of dealing with tangled wires!

  41. wireless over ear for extended comfortable listening at home, and in ear for a outdoor activities. Wireless preferred.

  45. Ear buds are by far my favourite style. I am also in DESPERATE need of a pair of wireless buds because working out with wires is super annoying.

  47. I prefer in ear wireless headphones as they provide the freedom for working out, running, or simply cooking food in the kitchen without the hassle of wires.
