Want to control how much ambient noise you hear? Choose from 3 ambient sound modes in the Jabra Sound+ app. Go for 'Active Noise Cancellation' if you don't want to hear ambient noise. With 'HearThrough', you can hear the ambient noise clearly. Did you choose 'Off'? Ambient noise will be muffled. In the last 2 modes, you'll hear your music less clearly than when you have noise canceling switched on.

When you switch on 'Spatial Sound for media', you'll hear spatial audio. With this technology, it seems like music is playing around you, instead of in your ears. With the Jabra Elite 8 Active and Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2, you can choose to switch this function on and off. Do you have the Jabra Elite 10 and Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2? Choose 'Head Tracking off' if you want the music to move with you. If you want the sound to stay in place, choose 'Head Tracking on'.
