Reg. $150/$120

Amazon is now offering the first chance to save on the just-released Jabra Elite 5 True Wireless Earbuds. Dropping down to $119.99 shipped in several different styles, today’s offer amounts to $30 in savings from the usual $150 price tag that these launched with last month in order to deliver a new all-time low. Jabra’s latest addition to its stable of true wireless earbuds arrive in the form of the new Elite 5 buds. These offerings pack hybird active noise cancellation out of the box that comes backed by six built-in microphones for tuning out distracting ambient audio. The actual listening experience comes powered by 6mm drivers, with support for aptX audio. Google Fast Pair then supplements the Bluetooth connectivity and rounds out the package with seven hours of playback from the earbuds themselves and another 28 hours from the charging case. Our launch coverage offers some additional insight, too.
