Jabra enters the cheap TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earphone market with the Elite 4. Given its reputation for high-quality sound, the Danish brand’s strategy may be a steal for buyers. At Rs 9,999, the Jabra Elite 4 competes with other earbuds in its price range.
Design
The new Jabra Elite 4 continues Jabra’s simplistic appearance. since the case and earbuds resemble previous Jabra models. Simple plastic case with corporate branding and type-C charging connector.
The plastic Jabra Elite 4, an entry-level earphone, lacks wingtips and shaking grip coating. The earphones fit properly and don’t fall out when jogging or working out due to the variety of ear tips.
We enjoyed the IP57-rated earphones. It makes gym workouts and rainy walks stress-free.
Connectivity
AptX and SBC codecs are included in the Bluetooth 5.2 Jabra Elite 4. The earphones don’t support AAC, which can lower audio quality for iPhone users. AptX compatibility improves audio streaming for Android users, but not high-resolution audio. Google Fast Pair makes pairing Android devices 6.0 or later easy.
As we recommend in every review, download the brand’s app, here Sound+, for better connectivity and options.
The software has many useful features and customizations. It enables you easily choose between ANC and HearThrough (transparent) listening modes, customize an equalization, and check battery life. You may also alter the ANC mode’s noise reduction or HearThrough mode’s noise amplification.

HearThrough, which channels external noises into your ears, is also included. The software adjusts ambient noise. You may determine whether this setting automatically pauses music. This feature is perfect for outdoor activities, while active noise cancellation (ANC) makes commuting peaceful.
