Pros & Cons
Pros
Jabra elite 85h headphones are better than the sennheiser 450bt. The ability to rotate the ear pieces when i want to turn the device off is super convenient and the actual * for changing volume/music track work really well. They're not the as good as ... Read More
Both have an equally well padded headband, though after a while, both start to cause irritation to the top of my scalp, and i do need to reposition them maybe once every hour or so. They're nice-looking and surprisingly lightweight with a very comfort... Read More
The scandinavians know how to build technological wonders. Packaging is stylish, robust and satisfying. They are visually really attractive, they look and feel incredibly premium.
The app is a great way to get the most out of your echo dot. The built in assistant button is very handy, as is the google now button. A further button connects to the various voice assistants (alexa) this is very cool and works reliably.
A single charge lasts for absolutely ages, and i got a good 12 hours + from the'medium' charge out of the box. Holds a charge for up to 36 hours, which is very good. Battery life matches it and took a good few days of a good many hours use need a rech... Read More
Cons
Jabra 85 h have several really good features that become irrelevant due to the lack of usability. The anc appears to be constantly fluctuating. There is no on/off button. The right cup turns off and makes noises from time to time, especially when it's... Read More
This glaring shortcoming makes a complete mockery of jabra's multipoint bluetooth claim. How is it multipoint when it only works between 2 smartphones? Jabra say we do not recommend you pair your device directly with any unsupported device.
Second time charging didn’t get to 60% even though charging overnight. Jabra app says battery full.

Must say build quality is very good.
Noise cancelling isnt quite as good as the sony headphones that i had, but the build quality is far better on these - and based... Read More
As far as i am concerned, the sonys would fail miserably.
Its been a 9 months using this product.
Price
I bought these when price dropped under £150.
Competitiveness
I love the features on this headphone it probably has the best on the market and for its price.
Reading the frustrations of other reviewers, i was guided to the jabra elite 85h which i duly ordered from amazon.
Value for money premium headphone in rhis price

I was looking for noise cancelling headphones to use when travelling

But they have a huge design flaw that i think needs attention as its a massive downer
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You rotate the cups to switch them off and on which is fine for bluetooth but if you want to use them wired the flaw becomes apparent
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You can only use them if they have battery including when wired
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So if theyre out of battery you cant even use them which is incredibly dumb and annoying and unnecessary as my last pair of headphones didnt have this issue at all
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Jabra i get you were going for the cool factor but this flaw is an epic fail that ruins an otherwise excellent pair of headphones

Always been dubious about anc headphones and the high prices usually attached
