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.

  1. The Jambra ELITE 45 E. would be my choice. The other type never seem to stay in my ears.

  5. I would like the wireless over-the-ear headphones for the snugness. I also hate wires as they catch on things.

  7. I think that the best bet for me would be the Jabra ELITE 45e noise cancelling headphones with the flexible neck band. I feel that if one falls out, at least there is a tether to keep it from falling off and not being found!

  8. I have never tried truly wireless earbuds so I would like to try the Jabra ELITE active 65t noise cancelling earbuds to see if they work for me.

  12. I prefer over ear style headphones; they seem to be the best at noise cancelling and comfort for extended time periods.

  13. For me I prefer over the ear but that is only because I have not yet found a set of earbuds that are small enough so I can wear them for more than a few minutes with out them really hurting my ears, would love to see if these would be the ones I could use all the time

  14. I prefer over the ear, noise-cancelling headphones. Just my personal preference. But am willing to try anything new and improved!

  17. I would go with the over the ear experience, I have yet to find something I like to stick in my ear.

  19. I like the over the ears best, I’m oldschool I guess. Earbuds always stretch my ears, then I scratch at them for hours. I’ve never had wireless before.

  20. I like ear buds because they’re easy to pack away and don’t take up much room. Wireless buds are also great because the cord doesn’t get tangled while I’m doing stuff.

  26. The Truly Wireless would be my preference as the tangled wires of the others drives me crazy.

  27. I would probably prefer the Jabra Elite Active 65t as I like headphones vs ear buds. It would be great when power walking with my wife as I would leave the one “ear” at home so I can listen to my music & still chat with my wife.

  28. Truly Wireless headphones are my favourite as I hate getting cords snagged on things. I got a cheap pair for my birthday and love using them when exercising.

  29. I think I would chose the Jabra ELITE active 65t, I like the idea that they are less noticeable and won’t interfere with my earrings.

  32. I prefer over-the-ear headphones that facilitate hearing ambient sound being heard for safety reasons. Clearly this is for outside listening in traffic-populated areas.

  33. Jabra Elite Active 65t In-Ear Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Truly Wireless Headphones would be mt choice

  34. I would go with the truly wireless elite 65t headphones. I travel a lot and these would be very convenient – no wires!

  35. I don’t even have a favourite, because everything I try bothers my ears. I hope these fix all that!

  36. I would love to try the Jabra ELITE 45e because it best suits my lifestyle with its longer battery life. Would like to try a truly wireless headphone.

  37. It’s a very hard choice to make, because the truly wireless would be awesome, but then I’m worried I could lose them. So I guess I would opt for the Jabra ELITE 45e with their neck band and not have to worry about losing them! 😉

  39. I would go with the truly wireless elite 65t headphones just because they’re more sleek with no wires at all.

  41. The Jabra ELITE active 65t and I guess wireless is all the explanation required…

  43. The over the ear headphones are my favourite. They will block out unwanted external sound while allowing me to focus on listening to my favourite music

  44. The over-ear headphones are my favourite. They will let me listen to music while blocking out unwanted external sound.

  46. I like over ear headphones because it is easier for me not to loose them while running as I tend to loose things sometimes

  47. My ear canals are very small so the earbuds never fit comfortably. Therefore, I am an over the ear headphone type of girl.

  48. i love over the ear headphones… why cuz my kids tend not to bug me so much when i have them on lol hahaha jk i just love the way they feel

  49. I like over-the-ear headphones. I just like the snug feel.
    Ear buds usually bother me after a while… and they seem to pop out

  50. My favourite is over-ear headphones. I like them the best because the listening experience is typically better because you don’t hear as many sounds around you.
