The Jabra Elite 8 Active wireless headphones are equipped with proprietary Jabra ShakeGrip technology, i.e. unique oval EarGels tips (meaning asymmetrical shape) which perfectly fit the shape of any ear pinna, thanks to the preliminary analysis of the morphology of 62,000 ears (yes, yes!). Equipped with a liquid silicone rubber coating which keeps the headphones in place in the ears, without even the help of fins, the brand specifies that, even when abused by hectic sporting activities (Trek for example), they stay perfectly in place.
