Jabra Elite 4 Active fitness buds give AirPods 3 a run for their money

There's a new contender for the title of best true wireless earbuds. Sneaking in just before CES 2022, Jabra has unveiled the Jabra Elite 4 Active noise-cancelling earbuds. As the name suggests they are for more active users who want to listen in the gym or during a run. At £119.99 they're considerably cheaper than Apple's AirPods 3, and from what we've heard of them, they are more than capable of keeping you musically satisfied outside of the gym.

Specs-wise, the Jabra Elite 4 Active are impressive for the price. There's active noise cancellation – something the AirPods lack – and IP57 dust and water resistance, HearThrough mode so you can hear your surroundings when you want to and up to 28 hours of playback.

Jabra Elite 4 Active: Price and availability

The Jabra Elite 4 Active is available to buy now in the UK at Amazon for £119.99. The buds are currently available in three colours: Black, Mint and Navy.

US and AUS price and availability TBC.

These Elites could be hard to beat

In our Jabra Elite 3 review we said that they were some of the best true wireless earbuds for the money, with find-my-earbuds and Alexa built in. What we didn't like was the lack of active noise cancelling and the lack of manual EQ – and those features are both in the Jabra Elite 4. Jabra always deliver excellent true wireless earbuds, and on paper, these one look like a better buy than the AirPods 3, especially if you intend to run and build your guns in them.
