If you're looking for a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to give you some peace and quiet while working from home,Best Buy has a compelling offer on one of the better pairs you can buy at the moment. The Jabra Elite 85h are currently $180,down from their usual price of $250. Not only is $70 off a sizeable discount,but you're also not paying the $300 the Elite 85h cost when they first became available.

Engadget's Billy Steele awarded the Elite 85h headphones a score of 84 when he reviewed them in 2019. Battery life was one of the main highlights. With ANC on,he found he could get 36 hours of playtime on a single charge. To put that in perspective,you can listen to the headphones for seven hours every day in a workweek and only have to change them once. It's also worth pointing out that's more playtime than you'll get on a single charge from the Sony WH-1000XM3 and Bose 700.
The Elite 85h also sound solid -- though you'll want to dive into the EQ settings to get the most out of them -- and they feature an attractive design. That said,the canvas-like material covering the surface of the headphones can collect dust and debris,which can make them hard to clean. When we initially reviewed the Elite 85h,we thought that at $300,the same price as Bose and Sony's flagships,the Elite 85h didn't do enough things exceptionally to justify buying them over the competition. At $250 and especially now $180,they much easier to recommend.
