High quality earbuds with…

Pros:
- Superb build quality. The earbuds themselves feel super solid in hand, along with the high quality charging + carrying case
- Feature rich set of ear buds, with wireless as well as USB-C charging and full active noise cancelling
- Active noise cancelling is really great, I'd say on par with the ANC on the airpods pro
- Sound quality is excellent. Well balanced, full, rich sound that gives you a nice full defined bass while also giving you clear mids and highs
Cons:
- Fit is not the best, Compared to the 75T, I just couldn't get these to fit very comfortably in my ears. After an hour I found I would need to pull these out because of discomfort. The lack of any wing tips means these also are not suitable for any kind of high impact activities, so don't take these jogging
- High quality case, but really big and chunky, making these inconvenient to carry around
- Mic quality is passable, but not quite what I'd expect from a pair of earbuds at this price point
Overall:
I had very mixed feelings about the Jabra elite 85T. I've been a big fan of the 75T, which boasts excellent build and sound quality, and can easily be found for a bargain low price straight from Jabra. They even released an update recently that adds ANC to these older ear buds. While certainly not at the level of the 85Ts in terms of ANC, they offer a lot of value for money. The 85Ts unfortunately are not quite the slam dunk successor I was hoping for. While they offer higher quality ANC, as well as a more fleshed out charging case that has built in wireless charging, the case is also now really bulky, and the earbuds just don't fit as well as I'd like. This would all be acceptable if they maintained the same price point, but these are now substantially more expensive than the 75Ts.
These are still high quality earbuds with great sound, so if you can find these at a decent price
range, these would be a great bang for buck option. Otherwise I'd recommend you hunt around a bit more.
