A no-nonsense pair of true wireless earbuds

-

If you’re looking for a no-nonsense pair of true wireless earbuds, then the Jabra Elite 75t should be high on your checklist. The Jabra Elite 65t had always been the gold standard of true wireless earphones and when compared with others, it was always regarded as the one worth purchasing. The reasons for its success are virtually countless and the two standout features here were its great audio quality and gorgeous design.

In late December 2019, Jabra has launched a follow-up to the Elite 65t in the form of the Elite 75t and it builds up on areas where its predecesso­r already excelled — design and audio quality.

The Jabra Elite 75t features minor enhancemen­ts that go a long way in cementing the brand’s status as the model to beat.

The new Elite 75t comes with standout features such as an even more compact form factor for both the earbuds and the charging case and a battery life that not just measures up to the competitio­n, but beats some of the best out there. Additional­ly, the Sound+ app is also supported with the new model which means that you get the equaliser option,

HearThroug­h and every other customisat­ion that was available on the Jabra Elite 65t.

The earbuds are made of premium plastic and rubber which gives it its lightweigh­t form factor. They are also IP55 splash-resistant which means that they can survive light rains or sweaty gym sessions. A feature about the Elite 75t which we truly loved was the snug fit. This allowed us to undertake rigorous activities without even a slight fear that they would come undone.

The charging case is a lot compact as well when compared with the Elite 65t or even the Jabra Elite Sport. And even though it’s smaller in size the Elite 75t’s charging case possesses an additional 20 hours of battery life which takes the overall playback to 28 hours.

The Jabra Elite 65t gained plaudits due to the balanced sound signature that was well-received across the globe. With the Elite 75t, it’s rather confusing as to why the brand has gone in a different direction here and launched it with enhanced bass response. While it’s true that certain consumers prefer a bassy output, the balanced sound of the Elite 65t was the product’s call to fame. This enhanced bass feels like a step backwards for the Jabra Elite 75t as it overpowers the other frequencie­s and in the process drowning it out.

The Jabra Elite 75t is priced at `15,999 in India and for this amount you get easily one of the best true wireless earphones on the planet.

If Apple’s AirPods Pro isn’t your fancy, then this Jabra option should be the next obvious choice as it comes with an amazing design, small chargingca­se, an intuitive smartphone app and much more that make it stand a head above shoulders over the competitio­n.
