Fit
In-ear
The fit of the earbuds.
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
weight
14g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

driver unit size
12mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
lowest frequency
20Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
highest frequency
20000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
sound pressure level
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
impedance
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.

Très satisfait ! Avant, j'utilisais des casques pour la très bonne profondeur du son. Ça va faire 4 ans que j'utilise des écouteurs et 3 ans que j'utilise des Jabra. Les 85t sont de très loin les meilleurs !

ANC is the best, literally cant hear anything. The Sound+ App helps you find the most suitable earbud size so that the earbuds fit completely in your ear. Very comfortable cos pressure relief vents. Highly recommend. You get what you pay for. Outstanding among the rest i bought before. Love these earbuds.
