When Jabra launched its newest flagship wireless earbuds — the Elite 7 Pro and Elite 7 Active — fans and reviewers were both quick to note that the company appeared to have abandoned Bluetooth Multipoint, which lets you connect the earbuds to two devices simultaneously. But as of January 27, that missing feature is back, via new firmware that can be updated through the Jabra Sound+ app for both iOS and Android.
Bluetooth multipoint, while quite common on wireless headphones, is still a rarity in the wireless earbuds world. That’s why it was a bit painful to see the Elite 7 Pro and Elite 7 Active launch without it. Their predecessors, the Elite 75t and Elite Active 75t both had the feature as does the current Elite 85t. Seeing it absent from the Elite 7 Pro/Active’s feature list was a genuine surprise.
Especially in today’s Zoom, Teams, and Skype-heavy world of video calls, being able to quickly and easily switch between a phone and a computer is a very desirable trait, and Bluetooth Multipoint is the key to doing it.
The firmware update also brings a few other features too:
- Certified for Google Assistant: You can now choose to use Google Assistant with the Elite 7 earbuds, but only if you’ve got an Android phone. Google recently deactivated the ability to use its Assistant with headphones and earbuds on Apple devices.
- Updated MyFit feature
- Updated connectivity performance
- General performance and stability improvements
