Tonally, there’s not a lot to take issue with here. From the foot-to-the-floor attack of Neil Young’s Rockin’ in the Free World to the rather more measured No Church on Sunday by Princess Chelsea, the 45h are an animated, up-and-at-’em listen with little in the way of patience. There’s real vigor and enthusiasm to the way the Jabras deliver music. If ‘perky’ sounds tiring to you, though, you might want to go and have a nice lie down while the rest of us discuss just how lively and up-front the 45h sound. The Jabra Elite 45h have almost more perk than they know what to do with. If the idea of a ‘perky’ sonic signature appeals, you should read on.

On first acquaintance it’ll ask your age (rude) and then run through a few test tones to find out what sort of state your hearing is in – some mild adjustment to the Jabras’ default EQ will then follow. It features a few EQ presets, as well as five-band custom equalization and the ability to both name and save a custom preset. The Sound+ app is a fair bit more impressive. Bounce-back of your speaking voice, wind noise, otherwise-inaudible sounds of the frame flexing… if you prioritize call quality over sound quality, the 45h may not be for you. The company’s claiming some noise reduction on outgoing voice signals and wind noise protection, but in any event calls suffer from extraneous noise of all kinds. There’s a two-mic array built into the right earcup, too - and in truth it’s perhaps the least impressive aspect of the Jabras’ performance. There’s a slider for ‘power on / off / Bluetooth pairing’, a USB-C input for the rare times you’ll need to charge the battery, a three-button array covering ‘volume up / down’, ‘skip forwards / backwards’ and ‘play / pause’, and one further button to summon your voice assistant of choice. ![]() The right earcup is doing all the work as far as the physical interface is concerned. There are no stops or detents, but once you’ve got the correct amount of adjustment the Jabras will maintain their position quite happily. The earcups articulate on their yokes to fold pretty much flat, and the looks are kept clean thanks to the headband adjustment arms being concealed in the headband itself.
