The verdict

The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap.

✓Liked: Sound quality, aptX for Android users, Five band EQ, Fast Pair and Swift Pair

✕Could be better: Active noise canceling isn't amazing, No AAC for Apple users, Might not fit large ears, Controls have minimal customization
