At IFA 2019, Jabra also brought an update to the Jabra Elite series, introducing the Jabra Elite 75t true wireless headset. This is also a product launched by Jabra for urban users.
The Jabra Elite 75t will be more compact and lighter than the old Jabra Elite 65t. Jabra, which puts its main selling point on the call function, this time added a four-microphone system to the update, which is specifically used for noise reduction in calls.
Combined with the in-app features of Jabra Sound +, Jabra hopes to make the Elite 75t a product that is comprehensive for commuting and basic daily use.
Pei He belt is comfortable
The Jabra Elite 75t’s packaging is relatively simple. After opening the box, you can see the headset body, charging box and a carton of accessories.
The inside of the carton comes with two different sets of EarGels and a USB-C cable for charging.
EarGels ear gel is one of the main selling points of Jabra headphones, and the launch of Jabra Elite 65t is also a special emphasis on this ear gel. It is thinner and shorter, making it easier to fix for Jabra Elite series in-ear earphones.
Just when Jabra Elite 75t was promoted, Jabra didn’t mention EarGels anymore. However, from the perspective of wearing experience, the ear gel texture that comes with the Jabra Elite 75t is not bad, the toughness and fit are also very good, and daily use is actually enough.
As for the charging case, the Jabra Elite 75t uses a relatively flat design. Compared with AirPods Pro’s charging case, Jabra’s charging case will be shorter. However, due to the restrictions on the way the headphones are placed, there is no way to narrow the charging case.
But this volume is actually enough. The weight of the charging case has also been reduced from 69g at 65t to 55g, which is also very suitable to put in the inside pocket or pants pocket of clothes.
In addition to the charging case, the headset has also been slimmed down with the new design.
Compared to the Jabra Elite 65t, the Jabra Elite 75t headphones have a smaller body. The original microphone was placed a bit more than the 65t, and it will become more compact visually.
When the user wears 75t, the extension of the microphone just reaches the part of the tragus. Compared with the design with earstems, the wearing feeling will be a little different from the true wireless earphones.
Jabra Elite 75t still fits your ears perfectly.
A certain angle of the mouthpiece of the earphone is retained, and it just fits when insertedWith the angle of the headset. In addition, after the volume of the headset is compressed, the body can also be directly embedded, basically there are no exposed parts, and the center of gravity of the wearing is completely leaned inward, which will make the wearing of the headset more stable.
Jabra Elite 75t has no external fixing structure. It can only fix the earphones through the ears. In addition, because the volume of the earphone can just be plugged tightly, the user will have a relatively obvious foreign body feeling when wearing it. This foreign body sensation does not cause fatigue quickly, and it can actually be worn for a long time every day.
Just when you wear it, you will obviously feel that you are wearing headphones on your ears. In particular, some users who are accustomed to wearing without feeling still need a little time to adapt.
However, Jabra is also trying to optimize the wearability. The stress points of the headset will not be too concentrated, and the headset will not be too bloated. Jabra also adds a skin-friendly non-slip material to the inside of the headset, which increases stability and ensures comfort.
Jabra Elite 75t’s performance is enough if it only talks about carrying experience and wearing feeling. As long as you adjust the body when wearing, so that it can be fixed, basically there will be no major problems.
The only thing that needs to be optimized is the buttons.
The Jabra Elite 75t uses physical buttons. Although the size of the buttons is relatively large, it is not too much trouble to press. However, the Jabra Elite 75t uses more complex pressing gestures, which makes it difficult to press accurately when walking, and sometimes there are operational errors in shaking.
After all, the physical buttons require higher accuracy of operation, but the accuracy of operation will decrease when people move around. Although Jabra Elite 75t is not a product for sports scenes, using physical keys is still a bit cumbersome. If possible, I hope it can be replaced with touch operation in the next generation.
A little more functionality, but also a little more optimization
The functions and features of the Jabra Elite 75t are relatively concentrated. The main selling point of the headset is the “four-microphone calling technology”.
This time, Jabra is in JaThe bra Elite 75t single-sided headset has 4 microphones added to it. The multi-microphone linkage noise reduction technology is used to improve the radio performance of the headset.
After all, the Jabra Elite 75t’s microphone is far from the mouth, and if the space is large, it will be more susceptible to external noise. In order to reduce the devastating effect of noise on the radio, Jabra adds two microphones to the most basic dual microphone system, which can collect more external information. Together with the noise reduction algorithm, the radio effect is improved.
To test the radio performance of the Jabra Elite 75t, we also made a simple call experience by the road.
After the experience, I found that Jabra’s radio effect is actually good. Even when the traffic is intensive, the other party can hear what you say clearly. The Jabra Elite 75t can handle the daily use environment such as roadside stations.
In addition to the four-microphone call technology, Jabra Elite 75t itself actually has a good noise blocking effect. Thanks to the fully fitted wearing feeling, the passive noise reduction effect brought by Jabra Elite 75t is also obvious. If you stuff your ears directly, you can stop them.Drop some noise.
With Jabra Sound + ‘s white noise playback function, users can also focus on some areas where noise is more complicated. Although the effect will not be as obvious as the active noise canceling headphones, it still has some effects in the office environment. At least you will not be caught by the keyboard sound next to you, and you will gain the focus in order to block the songs played by external sounds.
Jabra also concentrated these functions on a mode called “Focus”. This mode will exist by default as long as Jabra Sound + is installed. Once installed, it can be switched and used directly, which is very convenient. If you suddenly want to switch these regular sounds to music, press the right button directly and the music will play directly. In the process of switching, Jabra Elite 75t also brings the effect of sound gradation, which will sound more natural.
But if you want to switch to regular noise playback again, you can only open the mobile app and set it in it.
As opposed to the focus mode, there are also ambient sound modes for enhancing external sound effects. To turn on this feature is also very simple, just press the button of the left earphone to turn it on.
Just like the ambient sound mode of other headphones, the Jabra Elite 75t’s ambient sound is a mode for collecting external sound through the headset microphone. When turned on, the sound of music will be delayed, and the surrounding ambient sound will become dominant. In this mode, it is not difficult to hear the external sound clearly, and the clarity is good. But the digital sense from the microphone is a bit strong. If Jabra can adjust the algorithm and optimize the sound, it will be more natural to use.
For mobile phones, headphone connection stability and performance are as important as call radio quality.
The Jabra Elite 75t uses a wireless chip that supports Bluetooth 5.0 and supports two devices connected at the same time. The user can switch back and forth between the computer and the mobile phone, the player and the mobile phone, the response speed of the switch is also good, and it is quite convenient to use.
The wireless connection stability is also very good. Although the official did not mention in the promotion page that the headset does not support similar TWS + technology, there is no major problem in watching videos and listening to music in daily use, and it can basically cope with games. . The connection of the left and right ears is also stable, but when some scenes are switched, occasionally there will still be a “pump” situation, and one of the headphones will jump. However, this situation does not occur very often and the problem is not great.
The battery life is also the selling point of Jabra Elite 75t.
The Jabra Elite 75t single body can achieve 7.5 hours of playback, and the charging case can achieve 27.5 hours of playback. For true wireless headphones, Jabra’s battery life is already very good. Compared with Jabra Elite 65t, it also has a significant improvement, and it is more outstanding than WF-1000XM3.
Although the WF-1000XM3 has active noise reduction, the size of the charging box is also very different. The Jabra Elite 75t’s battery life is really satisfactory.
In addition, Jabra Elite 75t also has many features integrated into Jabra Sound +.
Except for the headphone mode mentioned above,In addition to common functions such as change, white noise blocking and power display, firmware update, and headset search, Jabra Sound + also provides a smart assistant setting function. Users can use the app to switch which smart assistant the headset wakes up to. It also supports the three most common smart assistants, Siri, Amazon ALEXA, and Google Assistant, which are actually convenient for both Android and iOS.
Also, Jabra Sound + can also be used to adjust the sound performance of the headphones. It can adjust the sound equalizer of the headphones, and set the storage setting scheme according to different scenarios, which is convenient for users to quickly switch, and the degree of customization is still very high.
Unfortunately, Jabra Sound + cannot customize the control scheme of the headset.
I have to say that the control mode of the Jabra Elite 75t is really complicated. Its left and right earphones correspond to different functions, but the left and right earphones are not divided according to logic, and playback control, call answering, and smart functions are all mixed together. After distinguishing the left and right sides, the user must also remember the corresponding number of clicks and click patterns, and they all remember to accurately click when they still have to walk. This is really troublesome..
To be honest, when using the Jabra Elite 75t, I did n’t really remember the functions of the headset. Occasionally, the “Ambient Sound Mode” and “Pause Playback” were misremembered. So most of the time, I still use my mobile phone or watch to control playback, which is easier to use.
If Jabra Sound + can provide custom button functions directly, it will be much easier to operate.
Urban flavor suitable for the public
In terms of sound configuration, the Jabra Elite 75t is equipped with a 6mm dynamic coil unit. This size is not too large in a true wireless headset, but considering Jabra’s compact body, a 6mm unit seems to be a suitable choice.
The Jabra Elite 75t supports both SBC and AAC modes like the previous generation. It is basically enough to handle iOS devices.
But as a true wireless headset released in September 2019 and priced at 1599 yuan, I still hope it can support aptX.

The Jabra Elite 75t in the default mode has a relatively balanced tri-band and does not tend to highlight a certain part. But when high-frequency instruments need to be prominent, the Jabra Elite 75t’s sound brings a sense of dryness. At this time, it is easier to enter if you can handle the high-frequency smooth points.
The vocals are not too forward, and they are not overly prominent. The vocal resolution is okay, but it will be a little jerky when showing the singer’s singing details. However, because the human voice is not very prominent, it is not a problem if you don’t pay much attention to it.
The Jabra Elite 75t has a fuller low frequency, and it can also feel a little texture when you hit the drum. It’s just that the drums are lighter, and some dragonflies feel water. The low-frequency dive is not great, but the sound is not too thin.
The whole sound will be kept in a relatively refreshing state, which is actually good for everyday use. After all, Jabra’s sound made this time is quite versatile, if you polish the sound details, the effect will be better.
Different skillsAble to learn
In general, Jabra is a product that meets basic needs.
Jabra puts a lot of energy and technology on developing the shape of the headset, the four-microphone noise reduction system, and Jabra Sound +, so that the headset can be comfortable to wear, convenient to talk, and can also use the application to obtain small functions that complement the daily experience . If you can optimize the control and adjust the sound performance, the performance of the headphones will be more perfect.
Also, this time Jabra suddenly pushed the battery life to over 27.5 hours with a box, and a single headset also has 7.5 hours of playback time, reducing the charging pressure for commuters.
It feels like Jabra is bringing all the functions together this time and putting them on the point of satisfying daily travel use. Compared to those products with more directional functions and more obvious and single purpose, the “functional collocation theory” brought by Jabra Elite 75t seems more interesting.
Next, I also look forward to what new features Jabra will put into the future Jabra Elite 85t, like the popular instant translation and voice directly awakening intelligence.Assistant and other functions, these are a lot of help for daily life.
If the Jabra Elite 85t can all be gathered, it is one step closer to the best commuting headset that Jabra expects.
Anyway, Jabra Elite 75t can be regarded as a stable and stable product, and it works really well with Jabra Sound +. Just looking at these two points, it is still worth trying.
However, the “steady and steady play” here is not the same as the “safety and duty” I mentioned earlier. For Jabra, the Jabra Elite 75t is still a very aggressive product.
This aggressiveness is mainly reflected in the price of 1599 yuan.
