In recent weeks I have been able to test the Jabra Elite 75T, True Wireless in-ear headphones that have surprised me . Especially since one always ends up looking at the usual options of Apple, Sony or some other manufacturer of smartphones, forgetting that the market still has interesting options that are worth discovering.
Small and very comfortable
When you see the Jabra proposal, the first thing you think is that you already know them. At the design level they do not provide anything really new, they are True Wireless and in-ear type . So you practically intuit what you are going to find. Even so, when you start using them, things change.
It is true that they are still a proposal only for those who do not usually have problems with holding in-ear headphones, although I would dare say that they are more comfortable and safe than many others. Because they barely weigh 35 grams and because they are somewhat smaller than other options. That is why I feel that they hold on better and do not generate that feeling of insecurity when thinking that with some movement a little more abrupt than normal they are going to fall.
As I said, with three types of silicone ear cushions available, once you find the size that best suits your ear , they are light and comfortable to wear even during long periods of use. They are also available in three colors (titanium black, black and gold beige).
They seem attractive to me, although the personal preferences of each will undoubtedly enter into this assessment. Regarding the rest of the details, each of the headphones integrates a physical button. No tactile solutions with which it is sometimes difficult to know whether or not it has been pressed correctly. Of course, the negative part of this proposal is that we do not know how it will resist the passage of time, by number of keystrokes and by the possible dirt that can be introduced. Although the brand indicates that they include IP55 protection to be resistant to dust and a constant low pressure water jet.
Finally, the size of the case is another of its strengths . It is very small, just enough to store the two headphones and integrate everything related to the charging system and the battery that offers up to three times the playback time of the headphones. Ah, once you open the case you check that the headphones are secure and do not fall thanks to the built-in magnet system.
A remarkable user experience
The experience of using these Jabra Elite 75T has seemed remarkably high , but first let’s talk about its application. An app available for both Android and iOS and that offers more options than usual in proposals of this type. Because it will not only serve to facilitate pairing or make updates to your software, but also to access tools that allow you to customize the sound such as its equalization settings or a mode that analyzes how you hear to configure each headset for each person. But let’s go in parts.
The interface of the application is very simple, although so many options at first can overwhelm those who never paid attention to these apps. But after a few minutes you quickly become familiar. And no, you will not be using it daily, but it is worth investing some time in it so that the user experience and sound quality is even greater. Especially if you are one of those who prefer to equalize their headphones.
It is true that the preset configurations may not convince at all, but in a manual way you can raise or lower the frequencies you want to enhance or not its reproduction.
Regarding the option that allows you to customize the sound , this works in a simple way. Just find a place with little noise and start the test. When you hear the beeps, press on the screen and once the process is finished for both the left and right earphones, the application will take care of applying a series of adjustments with the idea of offering a personalized experience to your hearing needs.
By the way, the sensors that stop or activate playback when you take them off or put them back on work great. So much so that it is one of the devices of this type that I have personally tried and that they do better. As I said, the application options are worth investigating because there is even an option to locate the headphones if you lose them.
And now yes, let’s talk about sound quality. Here I admit that it is difficult to compete and convince the user that they are a great option when they are used to headband-type proposals, with transducers of greater size, power, quality and where the pad that completely covers the ear helps to an experience more satisfactory. Still, the sound on these Jabra Elte 75Ts is very well balanced across the entire frequency range.
It is possible that a slightly more pronounced bass could come in handy, but with the equalization options you can take advantage of a little more so that the sound has more body. So, with all kinds of multimedia content, you are going to really enjoy the experience they offer. And although they do not have an active noise cancellation system, the passive cancellation that they offer by their own design means that if you listen at a more or less high volume you can isolate yourself from the rest of the sound that surrounds you.
So much so that the headphones include a function called HearThrouhg so that you can hear your surroundings when, for example, you are in public places such as airports or coffee shops where you need to be aware of possible calls or information that interests you.
Finally, the autonomy that I have enjoyed with these headphones is around 6 hours of use with a single charge . The case allows an additional three charges, so if we do calculations, we would have 24 hours of music. Although there will be pauses between loading and loading. The good thing is that it offers a fast charging option and that allows in about 15 minutes to have almost an hour of guaranteed playback.
A good alternative if the rest does not convince you
Choosing True Wireless headphones is becoming as complicated as choosing which smartphone to buy. Everything will depend a lot on the budget of each one, also on the devices you use in your day to day and whether this type of True Wireless is comfortable or not. But in the event that you can pay the 179 euros they cost and you adapt well to their design (mainly that you do not drop them) they seem to me to be a good alternative to the rest of the models.
The strong points are clear that they are the comfort and the good operation in terms of the connection and disconnection between devices. In addition, by being able to remain connected to two devices at the same time, the change from one to the other as you play content on each of them is almost immediate.
Do you hit? Well, beyond what you have already been able to identify and the price, although it can be found with some discount that makes it more competitive, I would tell you that they could have incorporated active noise cancellation . Although seeing its performance, it is not that it is something essential.
