Our Verdict

Jabra Elite 10

Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 True Wireless

The Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 True Wireless are a bit better than the previous Jabra Elite 10 True Wireless. However, the changes are incremental except for the 'smart case' that comes with the Gen 2 that lets you connect to wired sound sources in addition to Bluetooth. With the Gen 2, the mic sounds a bit more accurate. They block out annoying wind noise more consistently, too. However, the Elite 10 have a slightly longer battery and cost less, which is appealing if you don't need the added wired connectivity.
