Jabra has just released an active noise cancellation (ANC) update for free, and its coming to the Jabra Elite 75t and Elite Active 75t.
Until now, the Jabra Elite series did not have an active noise cancellation feature, making them somewhat less appealing to other true wireless earbuds that are able to block out environmental noise.

If you already own some Jabra Elite earbuds, you'll be able to get ANC for free now, while newer versions of the wireless earbuds will automatically include the upgrade straight out of the box.
With this, Jabra seems to be upping the ante in its competition with Apple's AirPods Pro and the Sony WF-1000XM3, both of which come with noise cancelling smarts.
It's important to note that once you've updated your earbuds, using the ANC feature will have an impact on battery life.
With ANC on, your Jabra's battery will last 5.5 hours on a single charge with up to 24 hours of battery life in total.
In comparison, without ANC you'll get an extra two hours of battery on a single charge.
How to download the free update
It couldn't be easier to grab the ANC upgrade on your Elite 75t or Elite Active 75t earbuds.
First, you'll need to download the Jabra Sound+ app from either the iOS App Store or the Android Play Store.
Launch the app and pair your device, and you'll then be prompted about new features and given the option to 'update now'. Tapping the update button will get things rolling.
Once it's downloaded, you'll be able to continue using your Jabra headphones with active noise cancellation. Simply switch the feature on or off through the Jabra Sound+ app or by pressing the buttons on the earbuds.
An alternative to Apple AirPods Pro
If you’re after a fully-featured Apple AirPods Pro alternative, the Jabra Elite 85t wireless earbuds could be the buds for you. And they’re cheaper, too.
The Jabra Elite 85t features Jabra’s “most advanced and powerful” active noise cancellation technology, which is fully adjustable, letting you hear the world around you. There's also one-touch access to Siri and Google Assistant, IPX4-rated durability against water, and 12mm speakers that promise big sound and powerful bass.
Jabra opt for a semi-open design with the Elite 85t, which should make for a more comfortable fit if you have issues wearing earbuds for extended periods. The oval shape ear gels should provide a better seal in the ear, too, helping to maintain a secure fit without discomfort.
With active noise cancelling on, the Jabra Elite 85t should provide 5.5 hours of listening from a single charge, which extends to 25 hours with the charging case. You can expect up to 31 hours when active noise cancelling is turned off, and wireless charging is also available.
The Jaba Elite 85t will be available from November at select retailers, priced at AED 849.
