I am a fan of wireless Bluetooth earbuds, and these types of earbuds have been the focus of my search to find the best fit for me. When I first got the chance to review the Jabra Elite 65e Wireless headset, initially I was not very interested because the design included a wire from earbud to earbud.

These were cases. I bought these to use at work and to listen to music with the ANC. First. The call quality is very good. The one I talk to also hears me very well. Second, they deliver very good music. With the ANC, it actually gets even better.

Today, around the neck-styled wireless headphones have become extremely popular, but only a few models are really worth noting and that tip the prime range.

Jabra is an established brand in providing advanced audio communication technology. It is the first brand to introduce mono Bluetooth headsets to the world, developed advanced true wireless earbuds with heart-rate monitor.

Jabra continues to add to its line of Elite wireless headphones with a new premium noise-cancelling neckband-style headphone that features three microphones and promises top-of-the-line call quality. Designed to compete with Bose's QuietControl 30, the Jabra Elite 65e is set to ship in April 15 for $199. (That's roughly £140 or AU$260, with official UK and Australian prices TBA.)

The Elite 65e wireless headphone has active noise-cancelling and promises great call quality and strong music performance.

That makes Jabra's $199.99 Elite 65e a bit of an outlier in the Bluetooth earphone department. While Bose has long maintained dominance with the QuietControl 30, Jabra gives the company a run for its money in the value department. For $100 less, the Elite 65e earphones offer an excellent audio experience and strong noise cancellation. They don't outperform the QuietControl 30, but they don't have to in order to earn our Editors' Choice for affordable wireless in-ear noise cancellation. Design Available in black, the collar band-style Elite 65e earphones are well designed, easy to use, and fit securely in the ears. The left end of the band houses the ANC/HearThrough button, as well as a Mic button for voice assistance (or muting). There are three buttons on the right—a central button controls playback, power, and pairing (when held for three seconds), ...

The wireless Jabra Elite 65e earphones deliver excellent audio performance and noise cancellation for the price.
