The cheaper among the two, the Elite 8 Active retails for $199, while the Elite 10 is priced at $249 at major retailer such as Amazon, Best Buy and Jabra.com.
Jabra Elite 8 come equipped with six-mic call technology, wind-noise protecting mesh, stable smartwatch connectivity, Google Assistant, Fast Pair, Swift Pair, Spotify Tap and up to eight hours of battery life (32 hours with a splashproof case).

Jabra Elite 8 Active
$199
They hold up well in the gym or exercise environment, but they’re also suitable for work, and you can get them in four colors: navy, dark gray, caramel and black.
Jabra’s Elite earbuds feature spatial sound, Jabra Advanced Active Noise Cancellation, Dolby Atmos and HearThrough technology, and they’re incredibly durable and comfortable to wear for hours at a time due to Jabra’s ShakeGrip and ComfortFit technology.
The Elite 8 earbuds are IP68 waterproof rated and can be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters deep (nearly five feet). They can take on a rain, sweat, humidity, high temperatures and other elements, and have passed 11 full cycles of testing, according to a news release. The testing included two hours in 104-degree Fahrenheit temperatures with 93 percent humidity, a 15-minute splash test in salt water, and a 15 minute, 104-degree Fahrenheit heat drying test.
Having tested out both earbuds, the Elite 10 made me forget about my AirPods Pro, which doesn’t happen often, but the sound quality, fit and battery life earned high marks on my list. I also like how easily they pair with my iPhone, and they feel incredibly smooth to the touch, almost velvety.
They’re my favorite earbuds to use right now, and a personal frontrunner between the two Jabra earbuds and Jabra vs. AirPods (not getting rid of my AirPods anytime soon though). According to Jabra, the Elite 10 uses “infrasonic waves that measure the ear canal and algorithms which detect noise leakage and wind conditions” and auto adjusts ANC based on your surroundings.
Jabra’s Elite 10 are the brand’s first earbuds to support Dolby Head Tracking (the sound adjusts when you turn your head). And they’re “optimized for enjoying content in Dolby Atmos,” which basically means they sound amazing when you’re listening to music and even better when that music is recorded in Dolby Atmos.
Jabra 10 also utilizes six-mic call technology for crystal-clear calls, along with Bluetooth Multipoint connection and hands-free voice assistance, and the battery lasts for up to six hours (27 hours with case). The earbuds are available in cocoa, cream, black, matte black and titanium black.

The Eras Tour era might be over in the U.S., but that doesn’t mean you have to put your friendship bracelets up on the shelf. AMC Theatres announced on Thursday morning (Aug. 31) that it has teamed up with the singer to present Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour concert film, which will debut on thousands of screens beginning Oct. 13.
According to a release, every U.S. AMC Theatre location will run the movie at least four times per day on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays, with tickets for priced at $19.89 plus tax for adults and $13.13 for children and seniors plus tax (except for AMC’s branded premium large-format screens.) The film will be available in AMC theaters in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, with tickets on sale now here and here.
Swift posted a trailer for the film as well, writing, “The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon. Starting Oct 13th you’ll be able to experience the concert film in theaters in North America! Tickets are on sale now at http://taylor.lnk.to/TSTheErasTourFilm…. Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged. 1, 2, 3 LGB!!!! (iykyk).”
The movie will also screen in IMAX and Dolby Cinema at AMC, as well as in other premium large formats for the standard up-charge fees, which varies by format and theatre. In anticipation of an expected rush of interest — perhaps learning from the chaos unleashed by Ticketmaster’s botched presale roll-out for the U.S. Eras Tour dates — AMC said it has upgraded its website and ticketing engines to “handle more than five times the largest influx of ticket-buying traffic” the company has experienced before.
The 80-second trailer features a quick-cut of Swift’s many sparkling on-stage costumes from the tour cued to “Cruel Summer,” providing glimpses of the most iconic sets from the three-hour-plus performances.
That said, AMC warned that guests who want to be first to buy their tickets for the film may experience some delays or longer-than-usual ticket purchasing waiting-room times and “possible outages.” In addition to hosting the film, AMC is also acting as the theatrical distributor of The Eras Tour movie, securing locations with several other movie operators in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, including deals with Cinemark (U.S.), Cineplex (Canada) and Cinepolis (Mexico).
AMC said that because of the unique nature of the event, no free movie passes will be accepted for the screenings, and AMC Stubs A-List cannot use their memberships to reserve tickets; AMC will also temporarily scale back its website ticketing availability for most of their other movie titles in anticipation of the rush of interest. In addition, to discourage speculation on secondary-ticketing sites no refunds will be offered on ticket purchases.

Drake It’s All a Blur Tour Tickets
$262
Drake’s Vancouver concerts were initially scheduled to launch on Monday. “We back on my side now,” he posted on Instagram earlier in the week.
Unfortunately, the concert was postponed at the last minute, due to “unforeseen circumstances” at Rogers Arena.
“Drake was ready and excited to perform. He is looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rogers Arena apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause,” the venue said in a statement.
The Toronto native performed in Montreal in July and will make another stop in Canada, this time in his hometown, for back-to-back concerts at Scotiabank Arena on Oct. 6 and 7.
Drake and 21 Savage announced their 28-date, joint tour in March. The duo added another 12 dates to the schedule in April.
The It’s All a Blur tour, which was postponed for about a week before kicking off in Chicago on July 5 and scrapping a show in Memphis, has made stops in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Detroit, New York, Washington D.C. and Columbus, Ohio. The trek heads to Las Vegas on Sept. 1-2, Glendale, Ariz. on Sept. 5-6, and Denver on Sept. 8.
Other tour stops include Atlanta, Miami, Houston and Nashville.
