Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds are the latest true wireless product from the brand. Apart from active noise cancellation, these earbuds get excellent call quality, at an affordable price of ₹9,999. Read on to find out how they performed in our Jabra Elite 4 Active review on editorji.
<h3>Fit and Comfort</h3>
Now before we dive into the sound quality and active noise cancellation, let's first address how the Jabra Elite 4 Actives are to wear on a daily basis. They are of course in-ear style buds with silicone eartips, and they sit quite deep in the ear canal and provide a snug fit, which blocks out quite a lot of ambient noise.
If you think the default ear tips don't suit your ears very well, Jabra does provide a couple of different sizes to help get a more comfortable fit.
Now I'm someone that doesn't particularly love the in-ear design, but the Elite 4 Actives are surprisingly comfortable, and I didn't feel much soreness in my ears even after wearing the earbuds for quite a while. I'm guessing this is in part due to how lightweight the earbuds are, weighing only 5g each.
Moreover, the Elite 4 Actives are supposed to be made with a focus on sports and activity, hence the name Active, and I definitely felt the earbuds were always securely lodged in my ears, even while working out.
It's worth noting that unlike the more premium <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/jabra-elite-7-pro-review-best-earbuds-for-calling-1638784840257" target="_blank">Elite 7 Pro</a> earbuds, you can't take an earbuds fit test on the Elite 4 Actives, which is a shame, but it makes sense considering these are priced significantly lower.
<h3>Sound Quality</h3>
When it comes to sound quality, the Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds aren't what you'd expect. What I mean by that is that earbuds from Jabra are usually known for having a very neutral sound profile, with more attention to details and clarity rather than punchy, thumping bass. However, with these earbuds, it seems Jabra has flipped the script, probably because they expect people who buy these are going to be using them mainly for working out, and likely want earbuds that offer a more powerful sound signature.
The sound quality is certainly impressive considering the Elite 4 Actives house 6mm drivers, and whether it was at lower volume levels or above 70%, I didn't feel the the earbuds were struggling to perform at any point.
Apart from this though, you can tune the sound profile using presets through the Jabra Sound+ app, and if you really like taking manual control, you can tune the equaliser yourself as well.
In terms of codec support, there's no AAC or LDAC support, but there is support for SBC and Qualcomm's aptX codec, which is good to see.

<h3>Active Noise Cancellation</h3>
So active noise cancellation has become a hot feature in recent times, with even budget earbuds offering ANC at shockingly low prices, but like with other forms of technology, not all ANC is created equal. Some earbuds do it really well and some do it really badly, and I'm happy to report that the Elite 4 Actives fall in the former category.
Like I said before, the earbuds form a good passive seal due to their design, and the addition of active noise cancellation just makes the experience much better. It isn't the strongest ANC I've experienced at this price point, but it still does a very good job of blocking out noisy environments like in an office setting. You can also customise the ANC experience like you can on other Jabra earbuds, using the Jabra Sound+ app, which is a helpful addition.
Along with active noise cancellation, the Elite 4 Actives also get HearThrough, which is Jabra's version of a Transparency Mode. This helps you pause the ANC experience so you can for instance, have a conversation with someone around you or keep an ear out in case you're expecting an announcement.
I must say that HearThrough is one of my favourite implementations of a Transparency Mode on true wireless earbuds, it sounds really natural as compared to other buds I've used at this price point.
<h3>Call Quality</h3>
Now call quality on the Elite 4 Active earbuds is really great, I could both hear people clearly and they heard me just fine as well. This is mostly due to four built-in microphones, that get a mesh covering for better protection against wind noise and other ambient sounds.
Another thing I like is that Jabra enables the Sidetone feature by default when you're on a call, to let in some ambient noise around you so you don't end up shouting, which I think is an excellent feature that more ANC earbuds should offer.
Now unlike the more expensive Elite 7 Pro earbuds, these don't have bone conduction technology or an auto-muting function, but that's to be expected considering the Elite 4 Actives are more affordable.

<h3>Gaming and Transmission Lag</h3>
While playing games like Call of Duty Mobile, I did notice a bit of lag, which is not too surprising, and I do wish Jabra had offered a low latency mode here.
Still, it's worth pointing out that thanks to Bluetooth v5.2, there were no issues in transmission while watching movies and TV shows, and connection quality was strong with no skipping during music playback.
<h3>Design and Utility</h3>
The Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds are designed for more rough and tough use, as the name suggests, and to that end, they get an IP57 dust and water resistance rating. They're also really compact and lightweight like I mentioned before, and in this Navy colour, the earbuds offer a very understated look. They have the signature triangular shape that most Jabra Elite series earbuds now do, and the materials feel nice to the touch. The outer part of the earbuds feature Jabra's version of touch controls, which aren't really touch controls, but actual buttons that you have to push in to trigger functions. Now I personally don't favour this style of input, mostly because pressing the button pushes the earbuds even deeper into the ear canal, which isn't the most comfortable feeling. However, I must admit that a major problem with touch controls on other earbuds is that you end up triggering them accidentally while adjusting them in your ears, especially during fitness activities, so it makes sense that Jabra went with proper button controls on the Elite 4 Actives. It is worth mentioning though, that while these buttons can be used to control things like calls, music and volume, they can't be modified, so you're pretty much stuck with the default controls. Moreover, there's no in-ear detection which I feel is a big miss at this price point, but I'm glad to see that there is support for mono mode, so that each earbud can be used independently.
Now the earbuds themselves sit in this charging case with a flat bottom and head, making sure it doesn't roll around on a table, which to me is really smart design. The case is also is also quite lightweight at just 37.5g, and it features a USB-C port at the back. There's no wireless charging though, which I think Jabra should have included at this price point.
Another feature worth pointing out is support for voice assistants like Alexa and the Google Assistant, and support for Spotify Tap, which can launch music from Spotify using the button controls on the earbuds. Speaking of Google Assistant, the earbuds also support Google Fast Pair, which lets you quickly link them to a compatible Android smartphone.
<h3>Battery Life</h3>
When it comes to battery life, the Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds claim to offer up to 7 hours of playback on a single charge, and up to 28 hours with the charging case. In my usage, I got around 4-5 hours with the active noise cancellation turned on, which is impressive, and Jabra has included support for fast charging, that gets you up to an hour's worth of battery life in just ten minutes of charging.
<h3>App Support - Jabra Sound+ app</h3>
I've said this before in previous reviews of Jabra earbuds, but the Jabra Sound+ app is one of my favourite partner apps for TWS earbuds, mostly because of how simple it is to use and the amount of features it offers. Not only do you get quick access to things like the ANC modes, you can also tune the equaliser or use presets using these handy widgets. You can also use the app to update the firmware and setup the Spotify Tap function I mentioned before, or a voice assistant. The best part, however, is the Discover tab, that offers a lot of helpful information on how best to setup and use the Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds.
<h3>Verdict</h3>
At ₹9,999, I think the Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds are good value for money, especially when you consider the excellent sound and call quality. While I would have expected Jabra to offer wireless charging and in-ear detection at this price point, the Elite 4 Active earbuds do offer a great experience, definitely enough to beat the competition.

Jabra Elite 7 Pro Review: With active noise cancellation, excellent call quality and watch how the Jabra Elite 7 Pro true wireless earbuds performed in our review.

Jabra Elite 7 Pro Review: best earbuds for calling 

Jabra Elite 7 Pro review: Jabra Elite 7 Pro earbuds are the high-end true wireless product from the brand. The Elite 7 Pro are priced at ₹17,999, which places them in the premium true wireless segment. To that end, they come packed with active noise cancellation technology, a very well-tuned Hear Through transparency mode, and arguably the best call quality on a pair of TWS earbuds. Moreover, the Jabra Elite 7 Pro are equipped with Bluetooth v5.2 and are quite lightweight, with each earbud weighing just 5.4g. The charging case for the Jabra Elite 7 Pro gets both Qi wireless charging and a USB-C charging port, that supports fast charging.

Jabra Elite 7 Pro Review: best earbuds for calling

<div data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard="true">Jabra&nbsp;Elite 7 Pro Review: They're the latest premium true wireless product from the brand, and apart from active noise cancellation, they feature&nbsp;excellent call quality</div>

True wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation are a hot segment right now, which practically every tech brand out there cashing in on the trend. Still, despite heavy competition, there's one brand that has always managed to secure one of the top spots--Jabra. And with their latest entrant, they seem determined to do the same.
Having said that, this is our Jabra Elite 7 Pro review. If you're a fan of the true wireless form factor and don't fancy the AirPods Pro, these might be your next best bet.
<h3>Fit &amp; Comfort</h3>
The <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/jabra-announce-elite-7-pro-active-among-slate-of-tws-earbuds-1632751668086" target="_blank">Jabra Elite 7 Pro</a> earbuds feature an in-ear design, which helps them sit quite deep inside the ear canal. This makes for excellent passive noise isolation, with most ambient sound disappearing as soon as you wear the earbuds.
If you have trouble with how they feel in your ears though, you can choose from two other sizes of ear tips that Jabra provides in the box.
Now depending on your preference, you may or may not like the in-ear design, but as far as in-ear buds go, the Elite 7 Pros are quite comfortable, even when worn for long periods of time. They also don't come loose very easily, so you won't be constantly reaching to readjust them.
Moreover, you can take an earbud fit test to make sure that the earbuds are sitting in your ear as best as possible.
<h3>Sound Quality</h3>
When it comes to the quality of sound, the Jabra Elite 7 Pro earbuds are up there with the best of them. The sound signature is smooth and balanced, and details come through clearly, both when listening to music and while watching films or shows. Unlike most budget options, bass tones do not dominate the sound signature here. However, it doesn't mean that the Elite 7 Pros don't have enough thump, because they do. If you take the MySound test to determine your personal preference, or use the Equaliser through the Jabra Sound+ app, the earbuds do deliver punchy bass notes when required.
There's a surprising amount of power packed in these 6mm custom drivers, and the Elite 7 Pro earbuds get really loud when you touch the full volume mark.
It is worth pointing out however, that the earbuds do not get Hi-Res Audio certification, nor do they get Hi-Res LDAC streaming, which may be a deal breaker for audiophiles. Moreover, there's only support for the AAC and SBC codec here, and aptX audio support would have been appreciated.
<h3>Active Noise Cancellation</h3>
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro earbuds feature active noise cancellation technology, which is quite a helpful feature in noisy environments like an office or crowded public spaces.
Now like we said before, the passive noise isolation blocks out most noise to begin with. But to block out everything else that gets through, you can turn on the active noise cancellation feature. This reduces the amount of ambient noise around you, but in our experience, it didn't seem to be very effective. That could be down to how good the passive noise isolation is, but it means that the active noise cancellation did not seem to be as strong as we had expected on a pair of earbuds at this price point.
Still, you can toggle the amount of noise cancellation you want according to your preference, and if you need to let in ambient sounds, there's Jabra's Hear Through mode. It's essentially a transparency mode, but Jabra has implemented the feature very well on the Elite 7 Pro earbuds. Hear Through sounds very natural and not artificially boosted, as it tends happen with other true wireless earbuds.

<h3>Call Quality</h3>
Call quality is one of the strongest points of the Jabra Elite 7 Pro earbuds. Thanks to MultiSensor Voice technology, people you're speaking with will not have to deal with all the ambient noise around you. It uses four microphones and a Voice Pick Up sensor in each bud to provide some of the best call quality we've ever had on a pair of true wireless earbuds.
Moreover, you can play around with the app to enhance the calling experience by using Sidetone, that effectively lets in some ambient noise into your ears, so you don't end up shouting while you're speaking. You can also tune the call audio to boost either treble or bass, which is a nifty feature. There's bone conduction technology as well, which is triggered when you're in windy conditions.
Apart from this, there's another cool feature for when you're on a call. Let's say you're speaking to someone using the earbuds, and you need to quickly mute yourself. Instead of having to reach for your phone and muting yourself, all you have to do is remove the earbuds, and they'll automatically mute themselves. It's worth noting that when you're using both earbuds together, you will have to remove both of them for this feature to work, but if you're using only one earbud, taking it out your ear will indeed mute it.
<h3>Gaming and Transmission Lag</h3>
While gaming on COD mobile, we did notice a bit of lag when playing, which is to be expected, and we wish Jabra had provided a low latency mode to help reduce the delayed effect.
However, we experienced no issues in transmission when watching films and TV shows. Moreover, thanks to Bluetooth v5.2, connection quality was strong at all times, with no skipping during music playback.
<h3>Design and Utility</h3>
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro feature a very compact design, with no visible stalks present. The quality of materials used feels good to the touch, and the earbuds weigh just 5.4g each. If you appreciate a stealthy, understated look, you'll certainly like the earbuds in this Titanium Black colour.
The charging case is also quite pocket-friendly, and comes with both Qi wireless charging and USB-C charging, which is expected at this price point, but still appreciated.
Now while most true wireless earbuds use some form of touch controls, the Elite 7 Pros get physical buttons that you need to press in order to trigger various functions. The actuation point for the button is comfortable enough, and they allow you to control playback, cycle through the noise cancellation modes and trigger the voice assistant.
Now it's worth noting that at the time of this review, the Jabra Elite 7 Pro do not support connection with multiple devices at once, but Jabra mentions on their website that its Multipoint feature will be added in January 2022 via a firmware update.

<h3>Battery Life</h3>
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro earbuds claim to offer up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge, and up to 30 hours with the included charging case, all with active noise cancellation on. We managed to get well over 5 hours in my testing which is impressive, and we like that Jabra has included fast charging, which allows you to get around an hour of playback in just 5 minutes.
<h3>App Support - Jabra Sound+ app</h3>
The Jabra Sound+ is quite exhaustive, and helps you customise the Elite 7 Pro earbuds just the way you like.
Not only can you customise the ANC profiles and controls, you can also modify the Equaliser and build your own sound profile. You can also use the app to take an earbud fit test, and to update the firmware.
There's also ample guidance at hand, and the app has sections which help you discover various features on the Jabra Elite 7 Pros in an informative manner.
A feature we particularly enjoyed in the app was the ambient sound section, that plays white noise and calming tracks to help your relax or focus, depending on your needs.
<h3>Verdict</h3>
At ₹17,999, the Jabra Elite 7 Pro earbuds are quite expensive, and sit squarely in the premium earbud segment. The active noise cancellation may leave you wanting more, but if you're looking for good sound quality, a customisable experience, great battery life and excellent call quality, these earbuds should definitely be on your list.

Design &amp; Comfort
The Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i have a rather unique design, and come in an egg-shaped matte-finish charging case, which is flat on one side to ensure it doesn't roll around on a table. Inside the case there's the two earbuds that feature a circular head and rather long stalks. In this Silver Frost colour variant, both the earbuds and charging case look and feel quite premium.
The buds themselves are quite lightweight, weighing around 5.5g each, and the case weighs around 36.5g. Overall, it's a very compact and handy package, and won't take too much space in your pocket.
The earbuds manage to fit in the ear quite well, but the default eartips were a bit tight for my ears. To this end, Huawei has provided extra eartips, which is handy. Once you've got the right fit, the earbuds sit fairly deep in the ear canal, enough to create a good passive seal against noise.
There's no IP rating for the buds, so I would advise against using them during sweaty workouts or in the rain.
Hardware &amp; Touch Controls
When it comes to specs, the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/editorji-specials/the-ej-tech-show/ej-tech-show-effects-of-mobile-phone-radiation-huawei-freebuds-4i-review-1638023814115">Freebuds 4i</a> house 10mm large drivers, that are tuned in quite a balanced manner. There's also Bluetooth v5.2 here, which ensures the very best connection quality, and gave me no problems throughout my usage.
The Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i get touch controls on the very top of the stalks, which double-tap and touch-and-hold functions. There's no single tap, which I think is a good idea, because it can get triggered accidentally when you're trying to adjust the earbuds.
The touch controls can be used to toggle the active noise cancellation and transparency modes, play, pause or change tracks and also to wake the voice assistant. It is worth noting however, that you can't use touch to change volume with either earbud.
What you can do without touch controls is use the in-ear detection feature to pause content playback when you remove the earbud and resume it once you pop them back in.
Active Noise Cancellation
The Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i come with active noise cancellation technology, which is good to see in this price range.
Now since the earbuds block noise quite well without the ANC itself, the experience is only improved when you turn the feature on. With ANC on, barely any sounds make it through, and when we used them in an office setting, we could barely hear any ambient noise with music playing at around 50% volume.
The transparency mode is useful too, and helps you keep an ear out without having to remove one of the earbuds. It can be toggled using the touch controls, or the Huawei AI Life App.
Music &amp; Video
Sound quality for everyday music-listening is quite enjoyable on the Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i, and they get fairly loud. The sound profile is surprisingly balanced, and doesn't favour bass as most earbuds at this price point do. Details come through quite clearly as well, whether it's while watching films or listening to podcasts.
However, it's worth noting that there's no Equaliser settings, even if you pair the earbuds with the compatible app. This can be remedied by adjusting the EQ settings on music-listening apps, but for apps like YouTube, Netflix and others, you're stuck with the default sound profile.
There's also support for the SBC codec, and the AAC codec as well, which is good to see.
It's worth noting that we did not experience any lag in the audio transmission while watching videos on YouTube or Netflix.
Gaming
When it comes to gaming, there's no low latency mode available on the Freebuds 4i, and that translates to a bit of lag. It's not to the extent that titles like COD mobile are unplayable, but it certainly doesn't make for an ideal gaming experience either.
Calling Quality
Now thanks to those extra-long stalks and a dual-mic system, call quality on the Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i is fantastic. Beamforming technology and AI noise reduction combined with the hardware help reduce background noise around you quite well, and people we spoke to using the earbuds, said they could hear us clearly.
Moreover, their voices were crisp, and not muffled like it usually tends to happen with in-ear buds.
Battery Life
The Freebuds 4i sport 55mAh battery in each earbud, which translates to a claimed 7.5 hours of music playback with ANC on, and 10 hours with ANC off. In our testing, we got well over 5 hours with ANC on while listening to music, watching a few TV shows and taking a couple of long calls. You'll definitely be able to stretch that battery life if you turn ANC off, but if you do need a quick top-up, the charging case holds a respectable 215mAh.
The case sports a USB-C charging port, but there's no wireless charging, which is offered by its competitors at this price point.
Huawei AI Life App
Now Huawei's AI Life App that's available on the Google Play Store hasn't been updated since August last year, but if you do still download it, you'll see there's no support for the Freebuds 4i. However, the app will automatically inform you that you can update to the latest version using the Huawei App Gallery, which you can sideload on Android smartphones.
The updated AI Life app supports pairing with the Huawei&nbsp;Freebuds 4i, and gives you the ability to view battery information, update the firmware, and customise touch controls.
However, we do wish that the app had an option to customise the sound profile and equaliser settings.
It's worth noting that the iOS App Store version of the app gave us no trouble with pairing the earbuds, and offered all the same functions as the updated app from the Huawei App gallery.

Verdict
At ₹7,990, there's a fair bit on offer here. Despite missing out on Equaliser settings and wireless charging, the earbuds do provide a balanced sound profile, excellent noise cancellation, and great sound quality.
