The Elite 7 Active earbuds from the Danish brand Jabra are available in navy, black and mint colors and retail for 14,999 rupees. They are robust, fit in a small charging case and have a rubberized outer surface to wick away moisture.
They were developed for fitness enthusiasts. Although they are chunky, they feel light. The earphones are recommended for light indoor training.
They can fall during strenuous physical activity outdoors, but the quality of their workmanship and the rubberized coating protect them from damage in the event of a fall. The Elite 7 Active is best for listening to music at at least 320 kbps. For rock or metal fans, these are passable earphones if the file quality is above 320 kbps.
For lovers of electronic, pop or Indian film music, the bass is balanced and the music pleasant. YouTube playlists don’t sound as good as tunes from streaming service providers on the Elite 7 Active. The earbuds can last an average of a week if used for 30-45 minutes a day.
They can easily provide around 30 minutes of listening time after a 10 minute charge. The noise cancellation works well and a Jabra app can customize the listening experience. The Elite 7 Active is durable, light on the ears, sits securely and is particularly suitable for soft and electronic music.
