We may be in a lull between big sale events, with Amazon Prime Big Deal Days over and Black Friday not here yet. But some exciting deals remain. Case in point: The Jabra Elite 5 are 40 percent off at Amazon, bringing them to their lowest price of $90. That’s a fantastic price for what reviewers say is a solid pair of wireless earbuds — and, for our money, the perfect introduction for those ready to cut the cord.

The consensus among editorial and customer reviews agrees that the Jabra Elite 5 nail the fundamentals, offering excellent sound quality, active noise cancelation (ANC), and comfort. The wireless earbuds provide audio characterized by rich bass and crisp highs, according to PCMag, which you can fine-tune with a customizable EQ through the Jabra Sound+ app (available for Android and iOS). The app also allows you to switch between the different sound modes, which include ANC, HearThrough, and Off. The HearThrough mode uses the Elite 5’s built-in microphones to let some ambient noise into the earbuds so you know what’s happening around you.
The Elite 5 are compatible with Bluetooth 5.2 and offers support for a variety of audio codecs — that’s tech speak for the wireless connection is seamless and reliable whether you’re listening on a mobile device, a laptop, or a music player. The earbuds also support Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so you can make and operate calls with your voice. And the earbuds know when they’re in your ear and will automatically pause audio when you take them out.
The earbuds can connect to two devices simultaneously (e.g. a phone and a computer) to seamlessly transition from one audio source to the next. Meanwhile, the Elite 5 feature an IP55 rating, protecting against dust and splashing water. The rating is solid for commuters who may get caught in the rain. However, these aren’t fully waterproof and won’t be the most durable option during high-intensity workouts.
Jabra promises the Elite 5 will get up to 7 hours of battery life with ANC activated, plus an extra three charges from empty to full with the case (which supports wireless charging). For a slightly more affordable pick, Stefan Vazharov, our senior tech editor, chose the Elite 4 Active (which are also on sale) as his value pick among the best wireless earbuds.
