Jabra is a brand well-known for developing headphones and earbuds suitable for leisure and work, and over Prime Day, you can pick up a pair of Jabra Elite 4 earbuds for a discount. Available in three color choices, these earbuds come with microphones to pick up calls on the move, up to seven hours battery life per bud, and noise cancellation technologies. 

A Jabra feature I particularly like is the hear-through setting which lowers your music level slightly while also allowing you to hear what is going on around you.

 The frames can connect to your smartphone for receiving notifications and come with the Alexa voice assistant.
