Jabra must be selling a lot of its Elite Active 65t true wireless earphones on Amazon, because the company has partnered with Amazon to create a special Amazon Edition Elite Active 65t, it announced Thursday. 

It doesn't do anything special -- the original Elite Active 65t also offers support for Amazon Alexa voice control -- but the Amazon-only model gets its own copper black color and comes with a three-month subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited and has one-touch access to Amazon Music, Audible and Prime Video.
