hello everybody and welcome to another live unboxing today we're gonna be unboxing the new Jabra elite 85 h's now the reason why I think these new Jabra elite 85 H's is a big deal is because they were announced at CES 2019 back in January now if I remember correctly these are jabbers first ANC headphones or they're at least or most premium ones that were going to be competing up against the likes of the Sony 1000x and threes and the surface headphones and also the most QC 35 but instead of retailing for $350 if they're gonna be retailing for $300 which isn't a huge difference between these are the two headphones but 50 bucks is 50 bucks so with all of that being said we're gonna jump in to actually unboxing this thing how do we do it okay here it is alright so hold on go ahead and unbox these here we go now just remember as always with these live unboxing videos this is just something as if this is just a first impressions video so you know don't take it as a full review because you know in boxing a product and talking about what you see in the first 10 15 minutes isn't a review it's not fair to the product it's not and it's not fair to you when I first saw these headphones on the computer I thought they looked a little ugly but we're gonna find out right now so actually gonna go ahead and take this thing out of the box let's see what we got here dr. Mattei oh that was not smooth alright so let's see we got um get started we got a download the Jabra sound app and okay oh you know what this carrying case isn't that bad this carrying case is actually better than the carrying case on the well okay is it better it's definitely up there is definitely giving the m3s a run for their money these these are you know fabric type of and this one it has a really nice feeling synthetic leather to it one of the things that I mentioned in my last video would be m3s is that I don't like the listen thetic leather on these headphones this it feels very plastic you right now right off the bat this synthetic leather feels better than the letter than the leather on these headphones so let's see what the headphones themselves are actually all about there's goes the headphones themselves and an airplane adapter just fell out but there they are it hold on let's let's get these things out huh these feels these feel nice oh and she's already talking but these actually feel pretty nice this okay so yeah there's a whole bunch of fabric going on so there's there's fabric on the earcup here there's fabric here on the headband it doesn't it doesn't feel bad at all I know looks are subjective and for me not the biggest fan of actually having this fabric here but it feels nice it feels good and the leather the synthetic leather on these headphones these feel these people these feel better now the ones on the m3s and let's see yeah surface headphones I think I think the synthetic leather on these headphones feels just as nice as a synthetic leather on the surface headphones build quality wise first impressions not bad okay hold on wait so okay so they they fold up can DB lay down flat yes okay great great because that's something the surface headphones can't do surface headphones can't fold up like this and this to me I prefer when headphones can do both ways instead of just one like the surface headphones um let's see so now this hinge feels a little loose the biggest fan that I like when my you know the headphone that mmm the earcup should definitely just lock into place and instead yeah that's a little that's a little flimsy but let's actually go ahead and expand it extend his headband come on oh it doesn't click it just slides oh okay cool buttons are there and they click do these have a touchpad oh no it's not a touchpad it's not a touchpad but it has buttons here on the ear cups similar to the buttons on the Beats Studio threes but these are actually a lot easier to find and they're a lot easier to tell apart now I'm actually pretty glad that Jabra didn't go ahead and just smack on the touchpad on these headphones if they knew they couldn't get them right on the first try cuz I guess I'm the past I love the audio technica SOR 50b T's but the touchpad on these headphones no good I mean you've gotta you got first officer on the left side and as a righty there's a learning curve but then also the accuracy isn't all that great and you know it kind of like ruins the headphones for me I think these headphones would be a lot better if they had dedicated dedicated buttons on them instead of a touchpad and I think that's a smart move on Jabra and I think it's smart that's some-some headphone manufacturers like I'll say the bose qc25 s stick with physical buttons because some people just don't like touch pads on their headphones and you know having to choose a pair of headphones it could all boil down to go from a touchpad or physical button so maybe some people might think oh I want to get the Sony 1000 X and threes but I don't know I think their touch pads is a deal-breaker for me so I might want to go with something like the Jabra lead 85 HS or the bose qc25 so I'm glad to see Jabra stuck with physical buttons instead of going with a touchpad if they decided they couldn't get the touchpad right or maybe they saved a little bit of money so that they can put it in the build quality cuz you know these design wise I think they look a little chunky but but they feel very well put together aside for these very flimsy ear cuffs maybe not it's the same thing here maybe because mine is an earlier production unit just so we're clear job Levin sent these out I got these myself today so maybe like I said maybe because these are an early production version this is happening I'm not the biggest fan of this but build quality wise feels good alright enough talking let's see if these are big head approved because I'm actually a little FB on DS these feel like they have huh okay we're disregard that these are big unapproved these these have they have a there there's snug but they're not overly tight like let's say the Bowers and Wilkins px they're not as loose as let's say the 1000 x m3 these have a very loose fit as and so do the bose qc25 but let's see how the yeah yeah and these and these are a little looser than the Jabra lead 85 h's yeah these have a snug fit but it's not uncomfortable the ear cups are spacious the ear cups are more spacious if then the 1000 X and threes okay hold on let's let's have a look here these these ear cups are very reminiscent to the ones on bose qc25 s but they're not as deep but these are much more these are slightly more spacious than the ones on the 1000 Exim threes what else is there let's check out what you get in the case okay so we got this don't eat that we got a audio jack there's a micro oh okay okay cool cool cool cool so USBC cable so that means these headphones have USB C charging that's USBC is starting to make its way to other headphones before it was only on like super high on you know not super high-end but like the more premium ones 1000x and three surface headphones but now the new sony XP seven hundreds which are back there have USB seen of the Jabra elite 85 HSM USB see you know if you have an Android device and it has an you probably have a USB C port and means are gonna be able to charge your phone your headphones with the same cable which is awesome and if you have an iPhone then you know you're still going to be having to have a USBC cable and a lightning cable cuz you know Apple and magic so now hold on I'm gonna go ahead pair these headphones up to my phone and then we're gonna check out the app see what these headphones are all about and we're back I just went ahead and a pair of the headphones over to my phone and open up the Jabra what does this sound plus app yeah the Jabra sound plus app so it looks like we have active noise cancellation we're gonna go ahead turn that on okay there's there's no cabin pressure which is good to see there's a here through function so obviously we're gonna be opening up and picking up all the ambient sound around us so that it's kind of like using open-back headphones in the sense that you can hear your music and still hear what's going on around you that's cool that's cool to see on these 300 all the headphones and then you just go ahead turn that off what we're gonna turn it back on just I can hear myself we got a music EQ here hold on let's see okay there we go I it was a little easier to grab onto these nodes so that we can adjust it all done definitely not perfect I gotta go ahead put that back to default you can edit the widgets what else we got here we got Oh sound scape what is this like below where it's kind of like we're with Sony where you can like adjust the positioning of the music or make it sound like you're in a concert hall features that I never even bother to use it's just a waste of space on the app let's see what else we got we have what is this a smart sound no we'll do that later let's see what we got here commute okay so it looks like depending on what you which ones that you have on it changes the behavior of the headphones themselves we got in public so what are these going to be automatically adjusting themselves depending on your environment because the m3s do that but that's one of the features that I also never use I just rather you know toggle AMC or Abbey mode on or off on my own depending on what I need okay cool so here through you can adjust the level of here through on these that's good because there are some headphones where you just can't adjust a level of ambient noise like the surface headphones I don't think you can adjust the ambient level on the surface headphones now one of the things that I definitely need to test on these headphones is is is there ambient mode they're here through mode smart enough to automatically pause pause if the hear pause to hear through if it detects like a random loud sound because like let's say for example the m3s if you're walking outside i'm gonna check these off so let's say for example with the m3s if you're walking outside and you have their ambient mode turned on if if like a random loud sound happens so like let's say if siren rolls by or a dog starts barking or a car backfires and it happens a lot in the city and you hear this loud bang if these headphones pick that up these headphones will pick that up and then it will automatically pause ambient mode so like you don't hear that loud bang in your headphones which you know first of all it's gonna scare the hell out of you but then also you know it's it's bad for your hearing but then there are other headphones like let's say the SR 50 BTS they do this they pick up everything so if if a car rolls by and backfires or if I'm siren rose by Oh for dog barks these headphones are going to still play that with their ambient mode shoe you're gonna hear all of that and it's gonna be amplified it's gonna be even louder so that's definitely something I want to see got a test with the admin mode on these headphones and also we got to see what does the ambient mode on these headphones pick up because again the m3s do a very good job of just picking up people's voices and you can also set them to only pick up people's voices and noise pollution like let's say the rumbling of an AC or I don't know like let's say traffic rolling by it does they do a good job of still not letting that noise pollution in that's why the ambient mode on these headphones is so good all right so let's see what else we got going on with this app here so call experienced auto answer coal use on your detection okay so do these headphones have on your detection hold on let's figure this out hold on let's see if these headphones do you have on your detection oh okay okay so they have on your detection okay and it's quick hold on off and it just paused okay so right now the music's paused and we're gonna go ahead put them back on and it's already playing music okay cool I'm not really the biggest fan of on your detection the surface headphones have that feature and I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it off usually when headphones do have on your detection I turn that off just because I don't know I like having direct control over over my music and you know it's something that never really bothered me that there's that the entries they don't have on your detection but definitely we gotta see the accuracy of the on-air detection on these headphones because there are some headphones out there let's say for example the Bowers & Wilkins px when you wear them with on ear detection turned on sometimes when you're walking around in your heads moving around and they'll automatically start playing and pausing your music and even though if you go in and you adjust the sensitivity of their own ear detection sometimes it just still does it so that's why I always just try to keep that feature off but again that's something we gotta have to check out with the on error detection on these headphones or are they going to start randomly playing and pausing your music if you're walking around because if they are then that's a huge deal breaker in the sense of I'm never gonna want to have to use the on ear detection on these headphones all right well now we're gonna pause that okay that's paused let's see what else these headphones have these have audio experience auto resume audio okay so that's dent surrounding audio okay so that's to hear through call experience alright so I think that's it we got to figure out what with these extra tabs on the side what are they going to automatically adjust themselves depending on what I'm doing or do I have to go in and set them up too if that profile I got to figure out what this smart sound is let's go to about that's set up date we're gonna have to do later voice assistant hmm do only have Google assistant integration cuz if that's true then that kind of sucks personally I prefer to use Google assistant over Alexa because I just find Google assistant to be more useful event alexis and it doesn't say if it even has Google assistant integration but it does have a Lexus so hopefully Google assistant makes this way here cuz again I'm not the biggest fan of Alexa even on my 1000x and threes alright so I think that does it for the first impressions video build quality wise not bad I like the synthetic leather on these headphones I think it feels better than the synthetic leather on the m3s design wise I think they do look a little chunky but definitely not not like super bad they don't look as sleek they don't look as sleek as these and they don't look as sleek or as stylized as these design wise again it's subjective but not the biggest fan of this fabric here but but it feels good build quality wise at the fabric yo feels good listen thetic feather leather feels good the the headband isn't too isn't too tight v headband it doesn't click it slides this here is definitely supposed to look like brushed aluminum but it's not it's all plastic but these headphones look well put together except for these ear cups I am not liking how these ear cups lock and dislike look at that I don't like that alright well anyway we're gonna go ahead end it there so this has been a first look at the Jabra elite 85 meters these are Japanese for right now top-of-the-line a and C headphones these go for 300 bucks and these are going to be competing against the likes of the sony 1000 XM threes surface headphones and even the bose QC three 5s even though I know everybody including myself is still waiting for some type of news to come out about the Bose v bosse QC 45s but yeah other than that I'll catch you guys later and lookout for a review on these guys and about a week or so if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like
