In some ways the Elite 45h are a no-brainer. They’ve got ample battery life, they’re affordable, they’re comfortable and they are a doddle to operate. And as far as the way they sound, it’s just as the woman said: “people who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like”.

Endlessly upbeat sound; Truly epic battery; Good control options, especially their app;

We're seeing fewer new on-ear/over-ear Bluetooth headphones these days, especially in the affordable realm. There's nothing fancy about Jabra's new on-ear Elite 45h headphones—there's no noise cancellation, ambient listening mode, or fitness features—but what they do, they do quite well. For $99, the drivers deliver excellent audio, the fit is exceedingly comfortable, and the design is stylish and easy to operate. They also use the same app, with user-adjustable EQ and a number of other useful features, as some of our favorite, pricier Jabra models. That all makes these excellent on-ear headphones for the price, ideal for your home office, and an Editors' Choice.Design Available in black, navy blue, beige with gold details, black with gray details, or black with copper details, the supra-aural (on-ear) Elite 45h headphones have plush memory foam earpads lined with a leatherette covering.

After years of wearing headphones, this is the first pair that I have found that just don't fit. The arms of the head band don't extend very far, so the pads only make it to top of my ears. The hinge on the ear pads also have limited range, so its not possible to get the ear pads aligned vertically to rest on your ears, especially when the arms are extended all the way.

The webpage has a photo of a guy wearing the headphones, and he either has a tiny head or the headphones have been edited onto the image. Didn't get to check the sound quality since the fit was so poor, but the build quality was just OK.

As you will have noticed, two of the three main flaws that I have listed here should not be prohibitive to anyone when it comes to a purchase decision for almost all consumers.

I have now reviewed several types and models of Jabra headphones and headsets. I really like the quality of their products, and was very happy to get the opportunity to test this model. I prefer over-the-air earcups as opposed to the on-ear earcups on this model.

The usual Jabra Build Quality, The solid Bluetooth connection, The decent wearing comfort, The surprisingly good audio reproduction for daily listening, The phone call quality for both parties, The ability to simultaneously pair with 2 smartphones, The Jabra+ app, The sleep mode is a great battery...
