Jabra Elite 45H

At Rs 9,999 (and Rs 8,999 on Amazon as of writing this review), the Jabra Elite 45H are one of the easiest on-ear headphones to recommend in this price range. Not only do you get a stellar battery life of about 50 hours, but you also get solid sound quality, good microphone performance, a comfortable design, and access to the nifty Jabra Sound+ app with a five-band EQ and music presets. At under 10K, the Jabra Elite 45H gives you very little to complain about and they’re a solid pair of headphones in almost all aspects. If you do want ANC, however, you can consider the Sennheiser HD 450BT which costs about 5K more.

Danish company, Jabra, has steadily secured a highly-respectable position in the consumer audio industry with stunning offerings, especially in the truly wireless space, such as the Jabra Elite Active 75t. The company, however, isn’t just a one-trick pony and has consistently delivered quality products in different form factors, at different price points. The on-ear or supra-aural headphones category hasn’t experienced a whole lot of love in the past few years, however, Jabra recently launched the Elite 45H, a pair of supra-aural cans that revitalise the category. Priced at Rs 9,999, the cans don’t boast an array of features but they do have a marvelously-long battery life, solid and robust build, and app support as well.
