Coming to the meshed fabric finish that we mentioned earlier, you will find this adorning the top of the headband and along with the linings of the cups, giving the Jabra Elite 85h some real class. The rest of the cup and the underside of the headband features faux leather, which compliments the meshed fabric finish down to the T. Another nice touch is that the headband has been pre-tensioned, making it comfortable to use for prolonged periods of time without hurting your head. On the right cup, you will find a slew of controls that allow you to play/pause music, receive/drop calls, adjust the volume, and control your media playback. On the underside of the right cup, we have the 3.5mm jack and the USB Type C Charging port. There is also a single small button that allows you to mute your voice during a call. On the left cup, we find a single button that lets you cycle through the different ANC modes. This is useful when you are not in a position to use your smartphone to change the settings via the Sound + app.
The sleekest feature, however, is the power feature. The Jabra Elite 85h does not feature a power button. Instead, the headphones automatically turn on when the cups face each other, and turn off when the cups are flattened out. Another neat feature is that the music playback is automatically paused when you take off the headphones from your head.

All About the ANC –
We have been talking a lot about ANC in this review, and rightly so, because the Jabra Elite 85h offers you a whole range of modes, that Jabra has taken to calling ‘moments’. These ‘Moments’ lets you choose from among four different levels of noise cancellation – Commute, In private, In public, and of course, no noise-canceling at all.
If you cannot agree with the above settings, you can create your own ANC setting, given the gimmick of ‘My Moment’. This feature gives you complete control over the EQ settings and the level of noise cancellation that you feel is right for you. But the buck does not stop here.
