One of Jabra's best AirPods Pro rivals is on sale at its lowest ever price

Despite its vast experience in the audio industry and very diverse portfolio of both high-end and low-cost true wireless earbuds, Jabra is still not among the major players of a fast-growing global market easily dominated by Apple.

That may have something to do with the somewhat excessive prices of premium noise-cancelling options like the Elite 7 Pro and Elite 85t, which are also not as frequently (or as deeply) discounted as Samsung's increasingly popular Galaxy Buds Pro and Buds 2 or even the top-selling AirPods Pro.

$144 ⁹⁹

$229 ⁹⁹

True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Copper Black, New

Expired

Normally available for a whopping $229.99, the 2020-released Jabra Elite 85t are currently on sale at a cool 37 percent discount in a single Copper Black flavor at Woot. The Amazon-owned e-tailer can throw in a full 1-year limited manufacturer warranty and a 2-year dust and water warranty with each brand-new unit fetching a new all-time low price of $144.99.

How great of a bargain is this? Well, it's still not as amazing as a number of recent special offers on the best Samsung Galaxy Buds out there in both new and refurbished condition. But it does undercut all the greatest AirPods Pro deals to date, and the Jabra Elite 85t also happen to deliver a superior uninterrupted listening time of up to 5.5 hours that you can get to a total endurance rating of around 25 hours when considering the bundled wireless charging case as well.

The proprietary Jabra Advanced Active Noise Cancellation technology and 12mm speakers are also pretty sweet, contributing to a super-premium overall user experience, while the IPX4 water resistance... could certainly be better.

Still, this hot new deal seems to beat the biggest discount ever offered by Woot's parent company, as well as all other major US retailers, so if you don't mind the somewhat advanced age of the 85t and you don't feel the newer $200 Jabra Elite 7 Pro are better for you, it's probably not a good idea to waste time and risk missing out on this rare money-saving opportunity.
