The
Jabra Elite 45e is excellent for a mixed usage around-the-neck earbuds that is
great for sports. They have a more portable and flexible design than most
around-the-neck headphones since they don’t have a rigid neckband. Their earbud
fit is also a bit more comfortable than typical in-ears since they don’t enter
your ear canal as deeply. Their performance is in-between the similarly
designed Elite 25e and Elite 65e although those models have more rigid neckband
designs that won’t be as portable. Unfortunately, the Elite 45e are
average-sounding-at-best and don’t isolate much noise when compared to other
Jabra headphones because of the earbud fit. On the upside, they are compatible
with the Jabra Sound+ app which offers decent customization with sound presets
and a good 5-band EQ. They also have an excellent wireless range and can
connect to 2 Bluetooth sources simultaneously, which is very convenient if you
typically use your headphones with multiple devices.

WHY
SHOULD YOU BUY JABRA ELITE 45E?
If
you’re looking for a comfortable earbud design that is versatile enough for a
wide variety of use cases, get the Jabra Elite 45e. It doesn't have a rigid and
bulky neckband design like the Elite 25e or Elite 65e. Also, thanks to their
earbud fit, they’re a bit more comfortable than typical in-ears since they
don’t enter the ear canal as deeply. Unfortunately, this also means they do not
create an air-tight fit in your ear canal like regular in-ears, which results
in poor noise isolation performance. They probably won’t be a great choice for
commuting and to use in very noisy conditions. Their design is also suitable
for sports since they’re very breathable and stable enough when working out.
Overall, the Jabra Elite 45e are decently mixed usage earbuds, good for most
activities with a flexible neckband design that some will prefer over
traditional around-the-neck headphones.
