Jabra has used this week’s CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas to showcase a number of new products.

The Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds were launched, there were Bluetooth Multipoint updates for the Jabra Elite 7 Pro, and there was a demo of the hearing-enhancing Enhance Plus earbuds. Shipping availability for the Jabra PanaCast 20 hybrid work camera was also confirmed.

Jabra’s Elite 4 Active features Google Fast Pair, making it one of the easiest headphones to connect to your Android device when switching on, without having to press a button. The Elite 4 Active also features the Spotify Tap playback experience to access music faster, and it is Amazon Alexa certified.

The Elite 4 Active blocks out noise with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and the earbuds are fit for heavy usage with IP57-rated water and sweatproof durability.

The Jabra Enhance line of solutions is designed to help users hear more. Jabra Enhance Plus “sets a new standard” for bringing together the convenience of true wireless earbuds with advanced hearing technology, to alleviate unaddressed hearing needs, said Jabra.

Jabra Enhance Plus is an all-in-one hearable for those who experience mild-to-moderate hearing loss, but who are not yet ready for traditional all-day-wear hearing aids. The device packs four key audiological features, including Warp Compressor for analysis of sounds similar to the human ear for more natural sound quality and efficient processing, and Digital Noise Reduction for listening comfort and keeping speech clear.

There is also Digital Feedback Suppression to stop feedback from interfering with the sound quality of the amplification, and Binaural Beamformer with directionality to isolate sounds, allowing users to “focus on what is most important”.

Calum MacDougall, SVP at Jabra, said:

“The past year has seen several innovations in our Elite range, with the Elite 4 Active being the latest addition, and at the same time we are bringing state-of-the-art hearing enhancement in true wireless form factor to the market”

Available via a firmware update in the Sound+ app later this January, Bluetooth Multipoint is a feature that allows users to stay fully connected to two devices at once, making it easy to switch between work and play. With Multipoint users can connect their Elite 7 Pro to their personal and professional devices, helping them remain aware of everything at once and increase productivity.

The Jabra PanaCast 20 personal camera is now available for shipping, with the product offering hybrid workers secure video collaboration whatever their location. The device features AI that is managed on-device with edge processing. This means, said Jabra, that all experiences are powered on the device itself, “significantly minimising” the risk of security breaches, and maximising speed, accuracy and the overall quality of experience.

For those using the camera, it has a built-in lens cover to deliver privacy and to prevent the camera from being left “on” accidentally.

The PanaCast 20 delivers 4K Ultra HD Video, HDR video, as well as personalised Intelligent Zoom, “which always frames the main user properly, regardless of their environment”. It also has automatic lighting correction.

Last month, Jabra and workplace software-as-a-service platform UMA partnered to deliver improved video conferencing and meeting room experiences.
