Jabra Elite 85t review: AirPods Pro competitor impresses but doesn’t wow
Like many people, I’d been waiting for Jabra to put out a set of noise-canceling true-wireless earbuds. It finally has: the Elite 85t ($230, £220, AU$349). What I didn’t anticipate, however, was that it would also add noise cancellation to the earlier Elite 75t and Elite Active 75t via a firmware upgrade. This gives you two Jabra noise-canceling options, one significantly less expensive than …

It’s new mice season for Logitech. Having recently released its MX Anywhere 3 and MX Master for Mac, the peripheral-maker is adding the Ergo M575 Wireless Trackball to its Ergo Series lineup.
