CES: Jabra reveals 40-hour wireless headphones
At CES in Las Vegas this week, Jabra revealed headphones that last up to an astounding 40 hours on a single charge.
Personal audio leaders Jabra unveiled the Jabra Elite 45h headphones at CES 2020 in Las Vegas this week. The headphones are engineered to provide long-lasting use while remaining at a competitive price point, namely $99. The headphones offer an incredibly long battery life – up to 40 hours on just one charge – and large speakers that deliver an excellent music experience.
The Elite 45h features Jabra MySound, a new technology by Jabra and sister company GN Hearing, created to optimise and personalise sound experiences based on individual hearing profiles.
The headphones are crafted with high-grade materials and designed with long-time wear in mind. The lightweight headband and soft oval ear cushions mould to one’s ears for added comfort. The headphones provide an immersive sound experience built to withstand the effects of external noises.
With MySound functionality, the music audio is optimised for a personalised experience. Users can start the Jabra Sound+ app to take a test comprised of beeps. Following the test, the headphones calibrate to each users’ hearing profile.
René Svendsen-Tune, CEO at Jabra, says: “Portability is the name of the game for today’s consumers. We are excited to introduce the new Elite 45h, that was engineered with the everyday commuter in mind and the first product to feature our new MySound personalisation feature. We have leveraged years of audio know-how to create the most portable, long-lasting, powerful and compact headphones that are as light on your wallet as they are in your hands.”
The headphones also offer fast charging to get up to 8 hours listening time from just 15 minutes of charging.
