Jabra currently makes some of the best true wireless earbuds you can buy. The Jabra Elite 65t ($169) are well-rounded earbuds designed for high-quality listening and calling. Most earbuds have microphones for calling, but a stand-out feature of the Elite 65t is its four-microphone array for the best possible voice quality. With one-touch access to Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, these earbuds work seamlessly no matter what kind of device you use them with. And with 5 hours of battery life (15 when stored between use in the included charger), they’ll keep going even through the longest days. The Elite 85h wireless headphones ($299) come with a steep price, but add high-end features that make them worth the added cost. While the 65t earbuds offer good sound, the 85h — which are bulkier, over-ear headphones — bring you best-in-class audio with active noise cancelation for crisp, clear sound without a whisper of background noise. Their larger size also means they can offer even better battery life, with an impressive 36 hours with noise cancellation on and 41 hours with it off — the sort of staying power that’s hard to find. Like the Elite 65t, they also support Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, so they’re easy to use with any device you own. https://www.techlicious.com/guide/gift-guide-cta-2019/ #CTAHolidays
Many older tech products don’t support Bluetooth, but even some modern devices, like the Nintendo Switch, don’t let you use wireless headphones. Scosche FlyTunes offers a workaround. This adaptor plugs into the audio jack on any device and then transmits to your Bluetooth headphones.
