Additionally, the Elite 8 Active have undergone highly accelerated corrosion testing. This requires the earphones – to prove their anti-corrosion credentials – to pass 11 complete test cycles (including 2 hours at 40°C with 93% humidity), a 15-minute splash test in salt water, and a 15-minute heat dry test at 40°C. All while remaining firmly in the ear thanks to the better grip provided by the Jabra ShakeGrip technology.

The latter engages listeners in a completely new way, keeping them at the center of the sound as they move their heads, enabling a more natural experience for all forms of entertainment, including Dolby Atmos and stereo content.
