Stop us if you've heard this one before. One of the top wireless earbuds options money can buy right now is on sale at a killer Black Friday 2023 price. Although you may have even heard that a few different times in the last week or so in relation to the Jabra brand only, we are here today to recommend yet another deeply discounted product available as a nice budget-friendly alternative to Apple's still way-too-costly AirPods Pro 2.
Of course, the Jabra Elite 5 are nowhere near as powerful as the world's most popular and technologically advanced buds from the likes of Apple, Samsung, or Sony, but as the names suggest, these ultra-affordable bad boys come with objectively better features and capabilities than the slightly cheaper, and weirdly enough, slightly younger Elite 4.
Normally priced at $149.99 a pair, the Elite 5 are not very old either, having seen daylight a little over a year ago. But that's not stopping Amazon from charging a whopping 70 bucks less than that for Black Friday in three different colorways. Those include a retailer-exclusive black version in addition to gold beige and "titanium black" models, and naturally, the aforementioned discount equating to no less than 47 percent slashed off that $150 list price is a new all-time record.
Yes, the Jabra Elite 5 are more affordable today with no special requirements and no strings attached whatsoever than they were for Prime subscribers only last month. Their "hybrid" active noise cancellation technology, of course, is not quite as sophisticated as what the likes of the AirPods Pro 2 and Samsung's Galaxy Buds 2 Pro offer, but at least it's there at a pretty much unbeatable and irresistible price.
Then you have a 6-microphone setup promising crystal clear calls in any conditions and environments, more than respectable IP55 water and dust resistance, as well as perhaps most impressively, a battery life rating going all the way up to 28 hours with the bundled wireless charging case factored in and a solid 7 hours as far as the buds themselves are concerned.
In short, the bang-for-buck is definitely strong with the cheaper-than-ever Jabra Elite 5, but the same can also be said about Samsung's recently released Galaxy Buds FE and Anker's Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro (among others), so be sure to think long and hard before making your final Christmas buying decision.
