Our Verdict
Jabra Elite 3 True Wireless
Jabra Elite 4 True Wireless
The Jabra Elite 4 True Wireless are the next in line of the Jabra Elite 3 True Wireless. While both buds are well-built and have neutral sound profiles, the Elite 4 support multi-device pairing and have an ANC system. Even though it doesn't offer a significant improvement over the buds' passive noise isolation capabilities. However, we noticed distortion issues with our Elite 4 model, which affects the overall clarity of their sound.
