Jabra's new 65t (for truly wireless) buds harvest
the idea that a sub-US$ 200 pair can be well-rounded and well-sounding, too.
Priced at US$ 170, and with a 5-hour battery life promise (plus two charges in the
case), these will be breathing down Apple's AirPods neck, whose supply
constraint issues are said to resolve right around the time Jabra launches the
Elite 65t pair in mid-January.
These buds come with Alexa, Siri and
Google, they don't have nasty-looking fins, and are water-resistant. Barring
any unforeseen drama with the sound presets, the Jabra Elite 65t has all the
prerequisites to be a seasonal hit when they land on the shelves.
