INTRODUCTION
Wireless earbuds are not only for people who'd like to listen to music while at home, on the road or working out but also for people who'd like to answer calls while driving their cars (or while doing anything for that matter). You see since various such devices have recently made their way to our lab i feel we need to clarify this because many people we know take for granted that wireless earbuds are just good for one thing, audio playback. In reality our tests lately have shown that there are wireless earbuds out there which actually outperform many wired headsets when it comes to outgoing call clarity. Jabra's Elite Sport True Wireless Earbuds were actually the first ones to achieve that and since they recently released the brand new Elite 65t model there's no way we'd miss out on testing it as well.

Although the Elite 65t lacks the clinical grade in-ear heart rate monitor, Tri-axis accelerometer and IP67 rugged certification found in the Elite Sport model (wasn't designed with athletes in mind - the Elite Active 65t does that) it's actually equipped with all the cutting edge technologies such as Bluetooth v5.0 connectivity (10 meters range/ 2 simultenously connected devices/ up to 8 paired devices in total) complete with all the latest profiles including A2DP v1.3 (advanced audio distribution profile), AVRCP v1.6 (audio video remote control profile), HFP v1.7 (hands free profile), HP v1.2 (headset profile) and PBAP v1.1 (phone book access profile). Under the hood of the brand new Elite 65t Jabra has placed two 6mm dynamic drivers (20Hz-20KHz frequency response with 16Ohm impedance and 103dB sensitivity) along with 4 digital MEMS microphones (100Hz-10KHz frequency response with -38dB sensitivity - microelectrical-mechanical system microphones offer advanced noise cancellation with hearthrough and sidetone controls) and lithium-ion rechargeable battery packs which provide them with up to 5 hours of continuous use. Last but not least just like the Elite Sport Jabra packs a small charging case with the Elite 65t which can keep them going for an extra 10 hours.
