To reduce background noise, the Elite Sport automatically analyses external sounds and switches to the earbud with the least amount of external noise for superior in call experience. There are four microphones on the pair of earbuds for the intelligent switching, with one microphone in each device catching the voice, while the other monitors external noise.

René Svendsen-Tune, CEO of Jabra said, "What truly excites me about our first true wireless earbuds is that they offer an experience that only Jabra can bring-to-life. We’ve used our R&D expertise from across the GN Group to deliver not just the most technically advanced true wireless sports earbuds, but actually the most complete cord-free experience for our customers. Jabra Elite Sport is an example of an intelligent sound solution that delivers calls and music very well, and does so much more besides."

The earbuds provide 4.5 hours of listening to audio or calls, and the carry case provides an additional 9 hours of charging. For sports enthusiasts, there is in-ear voice coaching available with realtime analysis. The earbuds also offer automatic fitness testing, a recovery advisor, and a race predictor. Training management is provided with the Jabra Sport Life app, and leading third party fitness applications are also supported.

There is a three year warranty against sweat, and the device are certified with a water resistance of IP67, allowing them to work for at least half an hour while submerged under a one meter of water.
