Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 Headphone Specifications

Durability and comfort

Elite 10 Gen 2 headphones are available in five colors: soft white (the color of the analyzed unit that you can see in the pictures), denim (indigo blue typical of denim), cocoa, titanium black and glossy black.

The design of the headphones is semi-open, with Silicone earplugs and oval-shaped, which are quite comfortable in addition to the soft coating, if you can find the ones that best fit your ear canal. In the box of the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 headphones, you will find four sizes of ear gels: the medium one that already comes with the headphones, and the other three sizes (small, large and extra large) in a blister pack like this one. you can see in the picture above.

It might seem silly, but it’s important to find the right pads because I initially tested the Elite 10 Gen 2 with mediums and everything went pretty well, but the support didn’t convince me. After switching to small EarGels, more suitable for my ear canal, the experience was much improved and I no longer felt that the headphones could fall out with sudden movements.

The Elite 10 Gen 2 (the headphones, not their case) have a Degree of protection IP57, which means they are dust and water resistant, more than enough to run or do gym activities with them. If you’re looking for a higher degree of durability, you should consider the Jabra Elite 8 Gen 2, which has been tested to meet US military standards (MIL-STD-810H) and has an IP68 rating for water sports like kayaking , but never swim or dive with them.

Elite 10 Gen 2 and its smart case

The reality is that the sound quality is balanced and detailed, with impressive clarity at all frequencies.

One of the novelties that characterizes this second generation Jabra Elite 10 is its smart case with Bluetooth LE Audio. As you can see in the first image below the specs table, next to the headphones is a USB-C cable that also has a 3.5mm jack. We will simply need to connect the case to the entertainment system on the plane, on the treadmill at the gym or to the TV at home, so that the case transmits the sound to the headphones so that they can enjoy surround sound.

Active noise cancellation

Jabra’s Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has been significantly improved on the Elite 10 Gen 2. This advanced technology can now block out up to twice as much noise as the previous generation, focusing especially on mid and low frequencies. The headphones use algorithms adaptive active noise cancellation maximize the effect in a variety of scenarios, from airplane noise to the bustle of the gym.

The Elite 10 Gen 2 headphones have also improved in the area of ​​calls, thanks six microphone technology and advanced AI-based noise reduction algorithms. These microphones effectively distinguish background noise from the spoken voice, ensuring that every call is clear and uninterrupted. Noise reduction algorithms are activated automatically and provide greater voice clarity.
