It seems that the Jabra Elite 8 Gen 1 and Gen 2 have no significant hardware updates, and both models even appear to use the same hardware, with improvements in the Gen 2 only being applied to the case and firmware. According to Jabra support, the improved firmware cannot and will not be applied to the Gen 1. Additionally, the LE update has been postponed to 2025, leading to concerns that Jabra is slowing down firmware support for the Gen 1. The performance differences measured by RTINGS seem to result from mere firmware updates, yet none of these improvements are being made available for the Gen 1, which seems problematic. I would like to hear your opinion on this matter.
