Jabra Announces Elite Active 75t and Elite 45h - CES 2020
Jabra has unveiled two new products at CES 2020 - the Jabra Elite Active 75t and the Jabra Elite 45h.
The Jabra Elite Active 75t is, as its name suggests, a Jabra 75t designed for all those well-intentioned folks vowing new year resolutions involving gym membership and the like. Up next, is the Elite 45h, a set of sub-$100 headphones that, according to the manufacturer, sets new standards in this arena.
Jabra Elite Active 75t
The Jabra Elite Active 75t is the successor to the Jabra Elite Active 65T true wireless buds and boasts 89% better battery life (7.5 hrs + another 28 with the USB-C charging case) while being 22% smaller than the outgoing model.
Active by name, active by nature - keep fit types will appreciate the "durable coating for dust and sweat resistance" and so rewards the Elite Active 75t with an IP57 rating.
Although not featuring active noise cancelling, Jabra states that these new buds provide "first-class noise isolation" thanks to their carefully optimised shape.
Additionally, the Elite Active 75t features Jabra MySound concocted by Jabra and sister company GN Hearing. This tech optimises and personalises sound experiences based on your hearing profile.
The 75t is available from Q2 2020 for $199 US in a selection of six colours - Navy (February), Copper Black (Amazon exclusive, February), Titanium Black (Best Buy exclusive, February), Grey (March), Sienna (April), and Mint (April).
Jabra Elite 45h
The Jabra Elite 45h is the second product announced by Jabra which also happens to be the second pair in its Elite series of headphones. With an asking price of $99 US, the headphones support Bluetooth 5.0 and rock 40mm drivers.
The headphones are said to have 40 hours of playtime from a single charge and fast charging skills that hands you 8 hours of listening time from a 15-minute charge. Also, the Elite 45h possesses dual mics for calls and feature a foldable design making them even more portable.
Additionally, like the Elite Active 75t above, the Elite 45h also gets Jabra MySound optimisation.
Finally, it also has a dedicated voice assistant that can trigger Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant.
The Elite 45h will be available in March 2020 in five colours – Titanium Black, Navy, Black (Best Buy US Exclusive), Gold Beige and Copper Black (Amazon Exclusive).

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
