Jabra has introduced Jabra Elite 5, the newest iteration of its true wireless earbuds. Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is built into the smartphone and is powered by the Qualcomm QCC3050 Bluetooth SOC for media consumption. Jabra Elite 4 Active had earlier been launched in India.
Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is driven by Qualcomm’s QCC3050 Bluetooth chipset. Hybrid ANC uses feedback mics inside the ear and feedforward mics outside. The ANC works well no matter how you put the buds in your ear, making noise cancellation more reliable over a wider range of frequencies.
The Jabra Elite 5 also features Qualcomm aptX Audio, AAC, and SBC codecs, along with 6mm speakers. Additionally, we’ve partnered with Spotify to give customers access to Spotify Tap Playback.

Bluetooth Multipoint, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, Google Assistant, and voice-activated Alexa Built-In all offer this improved connectivity.
The earbuds have a 7-hour playtime with ANC on (28 hours with the case), but they are still comfortable to wear all day. The Elite 5’s features don’t end there; the earbuds also have an adjustable EQ and are resistant (IP55) so they can be used in both dry and wet conditions.
