Buying call

Elite 3 skips ANC and focuses on the basics: a comfortable, compact fit, physical buttons that don't misfire, IP55 resistance and around 7 hours per charge (28 with the case). Sound is warm and full for the class, and aptX support helps on compatible phones. Jabra has since exited consumer earbuds, so firmware updates are done.
