Jabra’s Elite 10 earbuds are Jabra’s first earbuds to support Dolby Head Tracking. And when available, the combination of Dolby Head Tracking together with Dolby Atmos content further elevates the sound with incredible detail and clarity for the ultimate Dolby Atmos listening experience. Elite 10 also eliminates surrounding noise with Jabra Advanced Active Noise Cancellation.
