Jabra introduces the Elite 10 and Elite 8 Active headphones

Jabra announced two new sets of wireless earbuds at IFA in Berlin. The Jabra Elite 10 has Dolby Atmos and Dolby Head Tracking. The Elite 8 Active has, among other things, a waterproof case (IP68). Both headphones will be available from mid-September.

The Jabra Elite 10 is the more advanced of the two earbuds and supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby Head Tracking, among other things. To produce powerful sound, the earbuds are equipped with 10mm drivers. Both headphones also have three microphones that are used for active noise cancellation and for “crystal clear conversations.” With ANC enabled, the earbuds have up to 6 hours of battery life or up to 27 hours of total battery life with the charging case. The recommended retail price of the Jabra Elite 10 is €249.

Below is a summary of the most important features and specifications:
