I do not like headphone. But after putting these headphones on. Jabra has changed my mind. The comfort and quality are amazing. Love funding excuses for putting on these great headphones and watching something or listening to my music. If i ever get another pair of headphones again. It will be Jabra.

FIT: I have been working at home and earphones with mic are a must for online meetings and consultations. I wear in-ear canal hearing aids and have used OVER the ear headphones in the past as I cannot wear earbuds. These Jabra headphones are ON the ear, which makes them not encompass the ear, just sit on top. So if you are used to over-the-ear, this may take a little getting used to as they are not parallel with your head, but rather tilt forward a bit. If you find them sliding off if you look downward, push the top towards the back of your head and perhaps tighten the fit.
Physical: Now, the headphones! very lightweight. All of the control buttons are on the right earphone, so that can help you distinguish it. They also put R and L into the speaker covers! See the pic.
Battery: The battery seems to work as promised! It took about an hour to fully charge out of the box. I used them on and off for two days without charging!!! It is set to auto shutoff within about 20 minutes of no sound. These is a marvelous feature! I also can give you several hours of sound if you just give it 15 minutes of charge tim.
Phone app. I am a fan of the Jabra Sound+ app for my iPhone. It takes you through a personal sound hearing test to adjust the output for your hearing! As a wearer of hearing aids, I chose to align them with my hearing aids on. It would be great if there were a multi-profile option in the app. Within the app, you can also choose a noise profile for when you just need some white noise, wave sounds, etc. This is through the widgets. The other plus is the "locate" feature. If you can't find your headphones, you can find the spot where they were last attached to you phone!
Microphone. I have talked to a couple of people with the mics and they say that my voice sounds fine. The headphones have two mics which is meant to distinguish your voice over extraneous noise.
Overall, I really like these earphones for a lightweight use, especially for video conferencing. They are much smaller than my over-the-ear headphones and look a bit more professional. With hearing aids, I don't have the option to use more discreet ear buds, so the Jabra Elite 45h seems the best choice.

I have had them for over a week now and am so far happy with them. Here are key observations from my side:
- Very good sound. All types of music sounds great on these. The Sound+ mobile app also let you customize their sound based on your hearing profile. You should definitely try that. Also they perform very well during calls. There are two built-in microphones which provide very good sound.
- They look pretty good and are also very comfortable. Unlike the over-the-ear head phones, because these are on-the-ear I can wear them for longer time periods without feeling uncomfortable.
- The bluetooth 5.0 connectivity is pretty good and results in reliable connection. You can connect two devices at the same time.
- Longest battery life on any of my headphones. As advertised, their battery can last for a very long time. Also, the quick charge feature as well as USB-C charging are nice touches.
- Their are physical buttons on the right cup which are placed correctly and perform the standard actions.
Overall, they are good headphones for the price.

The Jabra Elite 45h offer a lot of value for the money in a small portable package. They also give you plenty of nice features for the price, such as USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0 for better range and a more stable connection and multi device support. With multi device support you can have them connected to both your tablet and phone at the same time. This feature allows them to switch devices automatically, so if you’re watching a movie on your iPad and a phone call comes in, the headphones will automatically switch to the phone so you can take the call. Watching videos on YouTube, I noticed no lag between the audio and video. In terms of audio quality, from my personal experience they sound excellent and with the app you can change audio profiles. While on a call the person I was talking to said I sounded clear even with a fan and tv in the background, it was the same on my end as well. The headphones feel lightweight and very comfortable to wear, they have very little clamping force on your head while wearing them. This is important if these will be worn for hours on end. They give you excellent battery life of up to 50 hours and with the quick charge feature, a 15 minute charge gives you up to 10 hours of playback.
If you don’t like earbuds and don’t want the bulk of over the ear headphones, the Jabra Elite 45h on ear headphones are nice alternative. They won’t break the bank, they’re very comfortable, have excellent battery life (if not best in class) and they sound excellent.

The Best Features all In One Pair of Headphones

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Jabra Elite 45h Wireless On-Ear headphones have a great mixture of features and benefits. The Setup with the App was very quick and intuitive. Add customization to each ear cup to the ever growing list of features that help these headphones really standout.
• Jabra Sound + App – The beauty of these headphones is that they tie everything together with the App. The quick setup guide in the App includes My Sound, directions on buttons for Volume/mute and calls can be found in the App once paired with Jabra Elite 45h headphones.
• Bluetooth Pairing – This took me about 20 secs to pair the headphones with my Bluetooth on my Smart Phone. I then played Pandora into the headphones via my smart phone, and the music came in clear, full and filling my ears full of sound. The range of the Bluetooth is 30ft from its source (smart phone).
• App features – “My Sound” is a real cool feature in the app that allows you to customize your listening experience. I chose a personal setup with sound bars from bass to treble. The app works with each ear cup and sets up for your individual sound (left, right). Each ear cup is treated separately with a series of tones. When you hear the tone simply press the button in the app. Very simply each ear gets the amount of sound value that is needed because you hear individually in the right ear different then the left ear. This was pretty cool because it truly represents the hearing differences from the L to the R.
• Buttons – The buttons are located on the right ear cup. How do tell which ear cups are left or right? It is worth noting there is a subtle dot configuration on the inside of each ear cup that spell out L or R. So the buttons on the right ear cup include: Volume up/down with buttons toward the top of the ear cup, Next track button (hold Volume up button for 2 secs), Restart track button (hold Volume down button for 2 secs). Mute button mutes the sound of the call. There is also a personal assistant with guidance when the mute button is pushed (Siri, Alexa, Google asst.) that can connected. It is great to get info on all kind of things like getting directions, movie times or any number of things. This only works when you are not on a call and press the Mute button. This feature adds to the already high end features with the Jabra Elite 45h. The Multi Function Button, is pressed to pick up a call or reject a call. It also helps when you are listening and want to pause/restart. I found most buttons easy to find and easy to use. There are all these features but the learning curve moves fast, because in part there are really not that many buttons to confuse users.
• Sound – These Jabra Elite 45h sound quite dynamic with 40 mm drivers and an app equalizer. With sliders to move at your discretion to customize to make your music all your own. There are also presets in the app if you don’t want to move the sliders. You can even add “pink noise” which means you can have ambient noise to hear the music better in the ear phones. I love the fact your can arrange music to your listening tastes. I chose a bassy mix with the equalizer. It works for me!
• Charging – When I received the headphones there was still a charge in them. When I went to the App it showed me that I had 64% remaining battery life. Use the charging cable to USB C to USB A to get the shortest time for the most charging is pretty remarkable. A 15 min charge with fill the headphones with 10 hrs of battery life! For a full charge the headphones only need with a 2 – 2 ½ hour charge for 50 hrs!! I will hardly ever need to charge the Jabra Elite 45h headphones again!
• Fit - The lightweight design is very comfortable and fitting. The ultra light ear cups rest gently on your ears for hours of play without fatigue. You hardly notice you have them on.
• Portable - The Jabra Elite 45 headphones ear cups turn in to lay flat. At the end of the day, traveling, or on the go the headphones fit nicely in a felt like carry bag. The carry bag can also hold the charging cable as well.
The Jabra Elite 45h Wireless headphones are a can’t miss set of headphones. If your ideals for a set of headphones include comfort, battery life, sound customization, Bluetooth, voice assistants, and easy pairing with an App, look no further. The Jabra Elite 45h Wireless headphones cover all of those features/benefits and more.

The heads phones setup really easy out of the box, be sure to add the Jabra Sound+ app to your mobile device. They walk you through how to connect in the app and over the headphones (audio). The headphones are really comfortable to wear and adjustment is very easy and smooth. No clicking like other over ear sets. It was a little disappointing though when it came to sounds as they sounded lower then normal. Meaning I had to turn the volume up to hear or feel as though I was hearing properly. Could this be because of the initial sound test during setup (like at the doctor's when you have the sound tones test done). I tried connecting to one of my other Bluetooth devices, originally on a Note10, then laptop. Still the sound was the same, new issue arose where the connection seemed to be intermittent at times and even pop in/out. I did reset and run setup a second time on my Note10 and still no change. I cannot say that I would fully recommend these as I would normally, my impression was overall good. I can say that other Jabra sets I have had, I've been blown away with. For a budget friendly set, I'd recommend.

I bought these for a happy medium of not wanting over bulky headphones but not the small ones that fall out of your ears. Quality is not as nice as I thought. Mostly just plastic, but they are comfortable. I’ve worn them walking and they’re not the best for exercise. My ears sweat more than I ever knew wearing these. Sound quality is good and for some inexpensive headphones they do the trick. Not recommended for exercise, but for wearing around the house they work. They are comfortable on the ears, but while these are recommended by some sound experts they fall into that medium area where they’re not as nice as some others better quality headphones but not much better than some less expensive headphones other than sound. I expected better quality but apparently all headphones are cheap plastic these days. They fit kind of funny on the head which I don’t like. When on, the middle arch sits on the back of your head which doesn’t feel right. You would think they’re supposed to be directly over your ears. They stay on but it feels kind of like they’re going to fall off. Don’t recommend for exercise, get the over the ear small ones, don’t recommend for gaming, there are better ones out there, don’t recommend for noise canceling while they cancel outside noise they’re not great, so I only recommend if you want some inexpensive headphones with good sound.

I have been using this Headphone for 4 days now. And this is my first wireless headphone.
My review on the Jabra 45h : Best headphone under 100$. Period.
I have used other wired headphones also tried my friend's Sony headphone(loved it but out of budget). But this Jabra 45h is the best till date, in terms of Audio, connectivity and battery life everything is great.
I was able to stay connected to the call even when I kept my phone in living room and I went inside bedroom.
You can adjust the music as per your taste using the Jabra app.
So far no Cons.

Well built, sound great, and mic quality is what you come to expect from Jane’s headsets. Over the two years I’ve owned them the ear cups wore out, but replacement pads were only $10.

Jabra Elite 45h is a clear winner when it comes to clear and crisp music and excellent call quality. The built quality and comfort is also superb. The Jabra app is one of the best headphone app I have used to date. The only downside is the fit of the headphone on the head. Sometime it feels like it will fall especially if you and bending forward. Overall a great headphone for the price. I bought it at Bestbuy at a really good price and my buying experience was great. Buying at Bestbuy gives me ease of mind and comfort that I am buying only genuine and authentic stuff.

- Very light weight- can put on head for hours and you still will be comfortable.
- Great battery life
- USB-C charge
- Fast charge
-Music/Movies sounds great
Cons:
-Can not use as a wired headphone if battery runs out(no headphone jack port at all)

The best thing about this headphone is the battery. It'll charge quickly in about fifteen minutes and last days. Unlike other headphones, this Jabra does not leave my ear store after wearing it for hours in a day. Sounds quality is average but it's an excellent option for listening to podcasts or phonecalls. Listening to music is ok but an audiophile will be happier with other options.

The Jabra - Elite 45h Headphones are one of the best purchases I have made in quite some time - I am extremely pleased with them. They are comfortable; they are relatively compact; the integral microphone works well and is NOT an external boom that you have to worry about positioning; the sound quality is exceptional; the battery life is incredibly long; and the price-to-value is great. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality On-Ear Headphone.

I've really liked the Jabra Elite earbuds, and this pair has been a great, simple, quality set that has been really great. As I'm typing this, a loud party is going on next door, and I quickly paired them to my TV and am watching in peace. They're not noise canceling, but they're a comfortable set with impressive sound and great value for the money!
