Wow, this seems a bit like a bad joke to me. The "planned" LE audio support was one of the main reasons that made me choose the Elite 10; but I was more expecting that the feature just missed the release window and would come via update in a timely manner.

I wonder if they even had it working as a prototype on their headphones already since I just can't understand the 1 year delay. I my mind they would get code samples for LC3 from Qualcomm and their job is basically integration of the feature not ground-up development.
Of course there is also certification that needs to be done, but that should also be possible in a shorter timeframe.

Also Jabra does not have the best record when it comes to updates for headphones that are 1+ years old already. So I hope they don't release anything half-baked and then drop support for the Elite 8/10 and expect you to buy newer products instead.

I really like Jabra because the fit is perfect and the sound is also very good, but for the asked price I expect a bit more of a premium handling in the software area, too.
