Jabra - Elite 10 Gen 2

Jabra 75t sounds amazing. Best buds also have elite 10s, not as good anc poir

Can vouch for jabra. Bought the elite 10s this weekend. Music quality is insane. Really easy and quick to use. Fitment is crazy good, it doesnt make you look stupid like some other earbuds. Even the mic is better than my sony whx headphones (soucre: gf). Only downside i can think of is that they dont like strong winds. They make some noise with ANC on and off

I got Jabra Elite 10 gen 2 recently and am quite happy with them. But I’m not a connoisseur by any means

Well that's annoying. Because they were $299 last week on Amazon. I obviously never would have bought from *the airport* otherwise. Lol Fair, 3 weeks isn't forever. I needed them asap sadly, as my Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2s went in the ocean.

My Jabra Elite 10 G2 fell in the ocean, so I bought XM5s. I am happy with the change, not so happy being out almost $200.

By working out do you mean some weightlifting or more cardio stuff where you are actively moving around a lot? Or even Crossfit or something? Difference will be how much you need a pair that will need to really really stay put. My thing is more powerlifting, so its not a big deal for me I can wear pretty much any bud apart from on the bench and they wont move. So it expands choice a bit, but I do look for dust and water rating because weight lifting chalk. More movement I would say look at Jabra Elite

I think the "best" is going to depend on each persons use case. As for the ones you listed the XM5 never had the same problems, but the tips dont suit everyone so maybe on paper you could say they are the best bud, AZ80 as others have said must be a contender, one of the best sounding buds by far with ok ANC, but personally and seen a few cases of pressure headaches from them, so sadly not my "best" bud, Airpods same story as XM5, great at everything, best at nothing, on paper you can argue best all round with XM5. But I think if you take one person vs another, lets say me, I wear buds walking, some quiet parks so sound quality is nice, then some busy streets with lots of traffic noise so average ANC wont do and then a gym that sounds like a EDM club. Not to mention, I live in a very rainy area and powerlifting is my thing so weight lifitng chalk everywhere, especially my hands, need that IP rating to be dust and water! So Jabra elite 10 gen 2 or maybe these incoming AKG N5 (have them on order) will be my GOAT for 2024? Take a look at how you use them first, what you need most, then go from there. First call, your device, what codecs it uses and how you use it, is it in a pocket? etc. Then make a shortlist like you have, pros and cons them. Again using me as an example, Samsung S24 Ultra, LDAC or Samsungs SSC for hi res, or I go to a good sounding older codec bud like Jabras or Gemini 2. Do they have dust resistance? The Jabra do, is ANC good? Reported comfy and good for the gym for hours? YES, got my GOAT.

My headphones died on my last flight, so I've been exploring an in-ear wireless replacement. While I don't consider myself an audiophile, I am very particular... I'm a classical musician and want high-quality sound. I need great ANC since I travel frequently, and long bike rides introduce lots of wind noise. I'd like them to replace my desktop headset for calls if the mic is good enough, and being able to customize the controls is a must. So far here are the ones I've tried: * **Sennheiser MTW4:** Love the sound (one of the best), controls are customizable enough for me, the fit is amazing right out of the box with max isolation. ANC is excellent and wind reduction is amazing (the best). I was riding about 15 mph into a headwind and it sounded like a weather channel reporter in a hurricane. Turned on wind reduction and if not for feeling the wind, I could've been in a concert hall. App is easy, intuitive, simple, and fast. Unfortunately the mic and call quality are atrocious. * **Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2**: Great sound (not the *best*, but very good (although they do *not* support aptX). Controls are customizable enough for me. I feel like the fit would be amazing if they went just a touch further in. Again, if I could get a better fit, I think the ANC is outstanding. The wind reduction isn't as good as the MTW4, but I suspect that's mostly due to poor isolation: I'd welcome recommendations on replacement ear tips. Call/mic quality is the best. The app is a little confusing, and has some neat features. My first pair was defective--constant static in the left earbud. Customer service was phenomenal and I had a new pair with next day shipping for free. * **B&W Pi8:** Overall sound quality is amazing. I'd consider these the best. ANC is on the better end, but leaves quite a bit to be desired with ambient noise. Wind reduction is pathetic, but this isn't marketed for an active lifestyle. The controls are not very customizable, and there's no way to enable/disable ANC without going through the app (which doesn't help me if I'm listening from a laptop). The app is straightforward, though a little bloated, and it took me three attempts to get them paired with my devices. Mic/call quality is very good. Apart from lacking good wind reduction, my chief complaint--and it would have been enough to send it back regardless of everything else--is the obnoxious (and obnoxiously loud) haptic noises when using the controls. I couldn't figure out how to adjust them, so even when listening at low volume to a quiet section of a song, you get acoustically assaulted by a chime. These were sent back, and I'll add their customer service is horrendous and slow. * **Bose QC Ultra:** Outstanding ANC in the low and low/mid range. Doesn't work as well for intermittent sounds or higher frequencies. Fit is so-so even with the wings, sound quality is what you'd expect from Bose: an inauthentic representation of highs and lows to make the illusion of superior sound. I was sufficiently turned off by the fit, sound, and controls that I didn't test anything else. * **Apple AirPods Pro 2:** Quite honestly, I hate white and was reluctant to even try them. I couldn't get these to fit comfortably any which way, so they went back. I'll confess some of this may be personal bias, so don't write them off on my account. My wife uses hers all the time and I know from being on the receiving end the call/mic quality in noisy environments leaves a lot to be desired--even worse than the MTW4. * **Sony WF-1000XM5:** The default sound really (I mean *really*) emphasizes the lows and highs. For classical music lovers, I'd advice against these. The balance of ANC, wind reduction, and controls makes them all-around a good product. Controls are good, but I couldn't get a great fit that truly isolated the sound and made them feel secure. Since everything else was "good" I didn't bother with other tips and sent them back. * **Denon PerL Pro:** Takes a little bit to personalize the sound, at which point they sound pretty good. Not the best, but they pass my tests across multiple genres. Something feels a little "off" with the default frequency response curve, but I don't have the equipment to test it. Fit is great right out of the box. The wings fit in my ears perfectly and they feel the most secure out of them all. App is straightforward, wind reduction is good; not great, but good enough. Controls are the most customizable of them all. Worth noting: you can also customize whether they pause automatically when one or both earbuds are removed. Call quality hasn't been tested yet. Also, and this is a real annoyance: they're really hard to get out of the case. I have to turn it upside down and shake it to release the earbuds, so one-handed use isn't possible. I'm going to hang on to these a while longer--they definitely make the final cut along with the Jabra and MTW4. * **Technics AZ100:** Out of the box, the sound was... weird. There's definitely some heavy bass, but also a really pronounced high end. This was immediately striking me as a turn-off and would be exhausting to listen to all day. The fit was good--it took a little finagling to get them firmly in place, but once I did, I barely knew they were there. App was pretty buggy for me. Despite supporting multipoint connections, I couldn't control the EQ on the earbuds from my phone while listening from my computer. Controls are highly customizable. ANC works on all frequencies (unlike some others which are more effective on certain frequency ranges). but it's effect isn't as dramatic as Bose or Sennheiser. Haven't tested the mic/call quality or wind reduction yet. What other earbuds should I be considering? (Before anyone jumps on it: yes, both my computer and Qobuz are sending via aptX.) ETA: Updated with description of pros/cons of each.

AirPods went back. Jabra is still in the running as long as I can get some new tips that fit better. I don’t get enough seal for isolation. The mic is far superior, the ANC is on point, and the fact that it still has a button is terrific for avoiding accidental presses. The AZ arrives today.

Bose has the best ANC. But if u want the overall best I say Jabra or Sennheiser. They are all top tier when it comes to ANC. The difference is pretty small between them.

Personally I would not care about the codecs, they still sound better than Bose, Airpods and XM5. When it comes to ANC they are not that far behind, and they lack the white noise you get from the Bose.

I can vouch for this. Had Jabra Elite 7 and 10s and now use the FreeBuds Pro 4 for earbuds, mainly for calls. I also have the Bose Quiet comfort and Sony WH-1000XM5 over the ear headphones. Call quality with FreeBuds Pro 4 is by far the best and essentially the same as using my phone directly. Highly recommend these if call quality is your main concern.

Jabra Elite 10. Gen 2 if possible, but the Gen 1 are good and cheaper. Jabra Elite 8 Active are good too, but I think the 10 are more comfortable.

I agree, I love the 7 & 8 but the Elite 10 are my favorite earbuds overall. But OP was looking for a $100 option and I think it's more likely he'll find a used Elite 8 Active Gen 1 in that price range than an Elite 10.

Sennheiser MTW4, not 3. The 3 had battery issues similar to what you experienced with the Sony. The 4 has better noise cancellation too, and more up to date technology. Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 are the best all-arounders, especially for durability, comfort, and battery life, but the Sennheisers have better sound and are still pretty good all around. I'd be more comfortable cycling/running with the Jabra. If exercise is your primary use, the Jabra Elite 8 Active may be a better choice than the 10, but the 10 are fine for exercise that isn't too vigorous.

Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2, for me, is the best balance of comfort and ANC. They're the most comfortable earbuds, by far, for me. Their ANC is not Bose-level (nothing is), but it's still among the best. Some people report that the oval ear tips don't work well for their ear shape and this reduces the effectiveness of the ANC. I haven't had this problem: the ear tips are great for my ears. But I have read from others that swapping out the eartips for AZLA Sednaearfit Crystal ear tips seems to help a great deal. Alternatively, you could try the Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2, which has a more traditional fit, and is still very comfortable and has good ANC and sound, just not quite as premium as the Elite 10.

Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 are my favorite daily drivers when I consider comfort, pocketability, ANC, controls, durability, style, battery life, etc. They sound great but there are other earbuds that have a more premium sound. Sennheiser MTW4 are great daily drivers with a more premium sound. OnePlus Buds *Pro* 3 are great daily drivers at a lower price. My favorite control scheme of any earbuds, and quite good sound and features for the price. I have been trying the EarFun Air Pro 4 for a few days now and while they'll never replace my more premium earbuds, I think they'd make excellent daily drivers for under $100. I got them for like $60 with coupon codes. In LDAC mode with a high res streaming service, they sound far better than a sub-$100 earbud should.

Overall I still prefer the Jabras, but OnePlus is a contender for new daily driver when Jabra is no more. The pinch controls and swipe volume controls are great. I don't have an LHDC device so I haven't heard the OnePlus at their best, but they sound very good even in AAC.

I suppose if you're of royal descent and it's essential to your bloodline that your earbud produce an heir, you may want to avoid the Jabra. Otherwise, they're great earbuds as they are and I don't think the lack of future Jabras has any causal effect on the present day Jabras, according to the scientific community's current model of spacetime. :)

Those are my two favorite sets of earbuds so I can assure you that you can't go wrong whichever one you pick. I'd probably go with the Jabra if they're primarily for working out. They're more sweat/dust resistant, and the physical buttons make it less likely that you'll accidentally trigger a press with your arm or hand when wiping sweat off your forehead or whatever. They're also sleeker and more "sporty" looking and hide in your ears a bit better than the big boxy Sennheisers, and the soft touch rubber is a bit more grippy and comfortable against your ear. I can wear the Jabras all day with no discomfort. The Sennheisers are comfortable too but I do get a bit of fatigue and that slightly itchy/sore feeling inside my ears after wearing them for long periods. I get this from most earbuds *except* the Jabras. The Sennheisers are a bit more bulky and heavy, and while they stay in pretty well under most conditions, I think they're slightly more likely to get dislodged by your arms during an overhead lift, and slightly more likely to succumb to gravity when you're on your side. That being said, some people have reported that the Jabra oval ear tips fit their ears too loosely and always feel like they're about to fall out. This has not been my experience, but if you find this to be the case, you may want to try replacing the eartips with AZLA Crystal eartips, which fit more traditionally and grip inside the ear pretty well. (You may want to try these even if you go with the Sennheisers). I was just testing the ANC on the two side by side yesterday. They're pretty much tied. The Jabra is slightly better at cancelling low rumble and high hissing like air conditioner / vehicle noise. The Sennheisers are slightly better at cancelling mid/mid-high sounds like talking and external music. So the Sennheisers may be a little better for drowning out the gym radio, but the difference is small and may be negligible if you're listening to your own music. (I was testing them with nothing playing through the earbuds, just to see which gets more silent). I'd probably say the difference is too small to overcome the other benefits of the Jabra, but if your priority is to eke out that last 1-2% percent of gym radio cancellation, then you may want the Sennheisers. Also worth noting: the Azla Crystal tips do seem to improve the Jabra's ANC slightly, so that might be enough to equal or surpass the Sennheiser ANC. I haven't compared this directly though. Both have excellent audio quality and a good amount of bass. I'd give the Sennheisers a slight edge when it comes to audio quality, at least when sitting and listening actively. For workout music I'm not sure it matters: I've worked out with cheap JLab earbuds and been fine with their sound quality in that context.

The MTW4 are one of the best sounding earbuds out today, and a very good all around earbud. They are a bit better, in almost every way, than the Technics AZ80, which is a crowd favorite here. The best sounding earbuds are the Devialet Gemini II, the Denon Perl Pro, and the Beoplay EX, but these are all in the $300-500 price range. The Sennheisers are the best sounding earbuds under $300, and occasionally, on some tracks, I actually prefer their sound over all the $300-500 ones. They are in the top 5 for ANC, their touch controls are customizable, they're pretty comfortable and they have multiple eartip sizes plus wing-thingies to help hold them in the ear. I have almost all the top premium earbuds on the market today and the Sennheiser MTW4 are probably my 2nd favorite overall for everyday use, after the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2. The Sennheiser sound is better than the Jabra. Their personalized sound feature in the app is one of the best, because it essentially has you mix a track to your taste, and then adjusts the EQ and tuning based on that. However, I've found that I get the most premium sound when I put the MTW4 in High Resolution mode, and in this mode the personalized sound feature is disabled. But I recently discovered that the EQ section has something called "sound check" which guides you through developing a personal EQ setting, and this *is* functional in High Resolution mode, so the combination of high res mode and soundcheck is where I've gotten the best possible sound.

>can I ask why the Gemini II are not your favourite daily if they sound the best? Also why the Elite 10? Mostly because the Devialet are expensive and I don't want to risk carrying them with me everywhere. The sound detail isn't as important when I'm out and about and listening casually--nowadays even cheap JLab earbuds make my music sound great for casual listening, and the Jabra sound far better than cheap JLabs. Besides, I frequently have only a single earbud in, listening to an audiobook while I do other tasks, so I don't need to break out the audiophile buds for something likely recorded in the narrator's walk-in closet. :) Also the Devialet battery doesn't last all day. The Elite 10 are extremely comfortable, the only earbuds I can wear pretty much all day, in terms of comfort and battery life. If I've been wearing other earbuds for a while, switching to the Elite 10s is like taking off my work shoes at the end of a long day and putting on a comfortable set of slippers. I like the sleek style and the soft-touch rubber and the color options. They're just about the last earbud brand with physical buttons, which are so much better than touch controls, and the app lets you customize them completely. They sound very good--loud and musical and punchy and detailed: the only reason I don't rate them higher in sound is because I'm really spoiled by the amazing sounding Devialet, Denon, Beoplay, Sennheiser, and Technics. The Jabra are still among the best sounding earbuds, it's just that those few others are *exceptionally* good sounding. If you like the Technics but have one or two little problems with them, the Sennheisers might be worth considering. I describe the Technics and Sennheisers like Coke and Pepsi: they're more or less tied, but if one isn't quite to your taste, the other is probably just right.

Since your first criterion is great ANC, I'd take the AZ80 off your list. It's one of the best earbuds out there in nearly every way *except* for its ANC, which is serviceable but not as good as other flagship models. The Sennheiser MTW4 is roughly equivalent to the AZ80 in most ways but has better ANC and some more future-proof technologies like AuraCast. I think the Sennheiser has better sound than the Technics too, but I came to that conclusion only after extensive back and forth testing in which I preferred the Sennheiser roughly 60% of the time, so it's a close call. Overall my favorite is the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2, which is more comfortable and has better controls (physical buttons, all customizable), and roughly equivalent ANC. I'd say the Sennheiser sound is a bit better though. I find the Sony to be uncomfortable and it annoys me that the touch controls only have limited options for customization. The sound is pretty good but I think it's a bit shy of top-tier. The ANC is up there with the Sennheiser and Jabra. I'm not an Apple person so I can't really compare to the AirPods, but AirPods are boring and who wants to be boring?

Out of those 3 I'd go with the Galaxy Buds3 Pro, but I'd recommend the Jabra Elite 10 (especially Gen 2) or Elite 8 Active above them all, or the Sennheiser MTW4.

Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2, especially if you want to use them with airplane in-seat entertainment systems. Their charging case can plug into the headphone jack and transmit the audio wirelessly to the earbuds. They're also the most comfortable earbuds, by far, of any I've tried.

I have a stupid amount of expensive and high end earbuds, but the ones I *always* have with me are the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2. Several of my other earbuds have better sound, but the Jabra still sound great, their battery life is among the best, and their comfort is unmatched. They're not #1 n any one area (except comfort), but they're arguably the 2nd or 3rd best in practically *every* area, making them good all arounders. What's better, winning a gold medal or winning *all the silver medals*? For a daily driver I'd probably choose the multi-silver-medalist.

Sony XM5 will never win a "most comfortable" contest. The most comfortable earbuds are the Jabra Elite 10, and they sound *good* but there are several earbuds with better sound and more hi-res codecs. If money is no object, the Devialet Gemini 2 are very lightweight and comfortable, and are widely considered the best sounding earbuds on the market today. The Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 are growing on me as well: they are comfortable and well made, and sound fantastic, and support some high res codecs like APTX lossless. I still think the Devialet sounds slightly better but my mind changes from track to track. Sennheiser MTW4 and Technics AZ80 are a bit more reasonably priced (though still on the high end of the consumer earbud market). Both are pretty comfortable and sound fantastic. To my ears, the Sennheiser sound a bit better and the Technics are a bit more comfortable. In the under-$200 range, the Nothing Ear (2024) and the OnePlus Buds *Pro* 3 are both very comfortable and sound fantastic. The Nothing supports more high resolution audio codecs but whether this matters depends a lot on what your phone supports.

If you can still get them the Jabra Elite 10 Gen2 or Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen2, great sound, excellent ANC but Jabra stopped producing them and Software updates are up in the air

I managed to snag a pair of Jabra elite 10s, the ANC isn’t as good as the AirPod pros, but I think teams call are better

So my elite 10 right earbud doesn't charge anymore (same happened with my elite 7 sport) and decided to go on a small shopping spree to find a replacement. Ordered the Sennheiser Momentum 4 , Sony 1000mx5 and the Beyerdynamic Amiron 300. I like a solid bass and comfort cause I wear them 4 to 6 hours a day. In terms of sound quality, the sennheiser wins followed by the Beyers. They both lack a deep bass though and their ANC was disappointing. The Sony has a great bass and awesome ANC, BUT mid and high tones are not as sexy in comparison. The fit of the Sony is also a point of concern... I've to order third party tips to get them to fit properly I think... All in all, I am still on the market... Does anyone have a recommendation? I dont want to spend more than €300.

I think you should've gotten the Jabra Elite 10 gen 1 or 2. They have a shallower fit with oval shaped tips so you wouldn't get ear fatigue. They have button controls so no accidental touches. And the battery lasts 8 hours w/o ANC.

I have the Elite 10s and really don’t like them much. Just my opinion though. They are super slow to connect to my devices when they first turn on and I hate the triangular tips. Loved my elite active 65s though.

My favorite is the Jabra elite 10 gen 2. The fit is great the EQ is awesome and the noise canceling is very good. The icing on top is the new case that allows you to plug an aux cord into it and listen to whatever you plugged in through your earbuds. Great for travel as you don't need the cheap headphones the airline gives you.

Yeah that sucks. It was a little difficult to get them in the states as well since they stopped making them.

If you don't find the right fit yes they don't work as good. I have very little use for anc but I do use it while on my lawn mower with good results. For me it's more of the fact that I can use these while I'm traveling because of the tech in the case that as far as I know nobody else has. I've quite enjoyed mine.

I've said this before but I'm a big fan of Jabra. I have a pair of the 75t that I've had for about 5 years now and they still sound great. I just bought the Jabra 10 elite gen 2 because I wanted an upgrade and I'm happy with these as well. The only downside is that's the last pair of earbuds they're making.

Yeah it's kind of hard to get them now but I was able to get the elite 10 gen 2 on their website for like $80 off. Just took a little longer to get.

I'm a big fan of Jabra earbuds. I've had the 75t for about 5 years and the only downside is the battery life has faded a little but not much. I just upgraded to the elite 10 and love them. If you travel much these are a must have since the case can be used to listen with your earbuds to anything with an aux jack.

If call quality is also important, Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 is an excellent choice. Sound is fantastic, AnC is excellent and call quality is impressive

Great question. I mostly listen to Prog Metal, Metal, and rock music. I tried the Bose quietcomfort ultra. While they sounded great, I had many issues with it. The worst one was a loud thumping noise while running because of the ANC and you can't turn the thing off. Before this I had the Samsung buds which were great but call quality wasn't good. I read many reviews, watched many YouTube videos and finally settled on the Jabra.

Jabra elite 10 gen 2 are a solid option for comfort. But you lose out on "the best" sound quality and ANC. They aren't bad sounding, but the Technics take the win.

Try the Bowers and Wilkins Pi8 or the Jabra elite 10 gen 2. Both are comfy and one of the best on the market no doubt

They both provide stellar sound and the comfort is top notch

And if you want all the jabras elite 10 gen 2 is the best choice

Never liked the xm5s because their sound quality wasn't the greatest and fit is not as comfy as other options. My go to is probably the Jlab Epic Lab edition or Cambridge Melomania m100. (Jabra elite 10 gen 2 are also very solid)

Top of the option imo for me are the Cambridge Audio Melomania M100, the Jlab Epic Lab Edition, or the Jabra elite 10 gen 2. Ranking based on features, build quality, sound quality, and ANC 1. Jlab Epic Lab Edition (best overall for ALL features, pure sound quality, and superb build quality) 2. Jabra Elite 10 gen 2 (almost top notch ANC for this price range, great sound quality and comfort) 3. Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 (best battery life, long lasting, HIFI sound from audio engineers,)

Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2, pretty much what you get for Elite 10 but better fit for workouts due to the slight design difference from 10. I own both but 10s for home listen, 8 I use for commute/travel and workouts.

Technically the 10s. But what I keep saying is 8s can hold their own and imo have the better fit and the durability is stronger and Ip rating too so its more versatile.

8s are fine, 10s are stronger but 8s are fine and just full boost it if you want. 10s I turn down bass a little. 8s better for gym anyway as I would describe that 8s go deeper into the ear when 10s are halfway in but because are bigger, provide powerful sound and bass. But 8s are not lacking in anyway and do the job you need it to, boosting the bass with EQ will do it and with 10s, I had to turn them down. But got both for their different uses.

The best earbuds for working out have silicone tips. The ones without Ala airpods and galaxy buds 3 are not great at all. I use Bose QC Ultra AND Galaxy Buds3 Pro for the gym. Both are comfy and pretty secure. The Bose are better for ANC. Jabra Elite 10 & Elite 8 actives are also very good. Sennheiser Momentum Sport are fairly new and have the added advantage of little wingtips. They also come with a heart rate sensor built in. All the above do have silicone tips though. So without silicone tips u could something like Shokz or Bose Open buds (forget the exact name). Neither will have ANC and wont block out the rubbish background music that most gyms tend to blast out.

Unfortunately there are NO "one size fits all" and there are NO "best wireless earbuds" at rhe moment. Sound, ANC, fit & comfort are very much dependant on how they fit you. Eartips FROM Azla, Spinfit and Comply also enhance the experience with better grip and comfort. I've had all the buds on your list. I see Sonys mentioned a lot in this thread. They are awful imo. Very small footprint makes them loose in my ears. Terrible hybrid foam tips which are too small and have no grip. It's ANC gives a bad thudding body noise when ur exercising or when there's a loud noise near u. Turn anc off and it's gone. Call quality very average and poor in noise environments. They also have battery issues which u can read with a quick Google. Technics AZ80 have very good sound quality and decent battery life but they didn't stay in properly for me. ANC is average at best. The customisation and app is one of the best out there. Jabra Elite 10 are solid. Esp when paired with Azla eartips. Good anc, good sound good call quality. Bose QC Ultra have good sound, best in class anc but they also have a thudding noise when anc is on, although not as bad as the Sonys. Call quality is average and bad in noise environments. App control and connection and stability are not great. Sennheiser MTW4 are what I stuck with. Good sound (esp when personalised and tweaked), good comfortable fit for me, good anc, good battery. Call quality is average. Good app and customisation.

Currently im enjoying the Sennheiser MTW4's as my daily. I also use the GalaxyBuds3 Pro and the Jabra ELite 10's and im happy to wear any of these if needed.

Jabra Elite 10 don't give this thump. I've had a few sets. Try Azla eartips on them to improve the sound and stability. Sennheiser MTW4 don't have this thud either. Bose QC Ultra do have the issue. Sony XM5 do have the issue. Technics AZ80 don't have the issue.

Sennheiser MTW4 imo. Jabra Elite 10 (gen2) Technics Az80 also worthy.

Jabra Elite 10 gen 2 are my favorite daily working

What did you decide to do? I’m having the same issue. I bought the Jabra Elite 10 gen 2 from Best Buy and have 15 days to return them and I’m wondering if I should to get a different pair from Sony or the technic AZ80s

Coming from someone with horrible misophonia and who has tried nearly every noise cancelling earbud on the market: If you're on a budget: Soundcore life p3i. The battery life is amazing!! The noise cancellation depending on the environment ranges from 8-8.5/10 at around mid volume imo. They stay in my ear pretty well, even while I'm eating or talking. Call quality is not good and you will need to disconnect. If you don't want people to see you're wearing earbuds: Jabra elite 10 gen 2. My hair covers them well. On many days I'll wear them under an elastic headband and it is undetectable. Battery life is only about 6 hours :/ Noise cancelling is about 7/10 at mid volume for me so I often find myself raising the volume higher than I normally would prefer to to compensate. If you can splurge: Sony WF-1000XM5. The battery is better than my Jabras but not as good as my soundcore. But the noise cancelling... Chef's kiss. Whoever designed these earbuds deserves a raise. I'd say in most situations they're a 9-9.5/10 at mid volume but easily become 10/10 if I need them to buy just raising the volume a bit more. I will say, they are a bit on the heavier side and will loosen or fall out while talking a lot or eating. They can make my ears sore after about 4-5+ hours of wear. I keep these three in rotation throughout the day, but most frequently will reach for my soundcores because it's a safe choice. But when I was working, I NEEDED my Jabras with me at all times. Sonys are great for sleep for me especially since my partner snores/breathes loudly.

They don’t work for me. The bud itself is too big. The elite 8s work perfect for my small ears.

I have the JE 10 g2, and found them bigger then my old JB 8's g1.

I have a few pairs of earbuds and my favorites to bring on a flight are the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2. You can plug it he case into the TV's on the plane and use them instead of the earbuds the airline gives you. They're light and comfortable (to me). I've heard the JBL Tour Pro 3 are pretty good as well and also have a smart case

I'm no audiophile and unless you are I think you'll be perfectly happy with them. (Audiophiles seem to think nothing is good unless it's like $5000 or more, no judgement, I have fine tastes in some things too). I ANC is good in both. I never think "I wish these had better ANC" If I had to choose one, I'd probably choose the AZ 80's. From a sound perspective I couldnt tell you which pair was better. The AZ's feel a bit more premium and they can connect to three devices at once and they have better options for "find my buds" when I inevitably can't find them in my house. The Jabras smart case is really cool but for the few times a year I need it, it's not worth an extra $100, to me. The Jabra are more comfortable in my ears.

While these are comfortable, these earbuds have a whole list of technical issues and bugs and Jabra support is very lackluster. My Jabra Elite 10s currently won't charge in their case.

Yeah theres hella bots - but a bot won't say stinky poopoo peepee. Anyways I wanna like them but seriously the issued are endless at least with my gen 1s. I fixed the charging issue with the case, but now I can't even get my earbuds to connect or manually reset the earbuds and I'll have to reach out to support. And according to the Jabra subreddit the support is slow so I don't have high hopes. They really are comfortable so it's really frustrating such a good earbud is held back by software issues.

Eh? You can buy the Elite 10 Gen 2 directly from Jabra AUS.

I see. Well, as nice as the new case is, I don’t know if I would recommend them. They have the same tuning as the original Elite 10’s, and no matter what I do with the SQ settings, I cannot remove the sharpness. They also sound wrong with podcasts etc.

I've tried all the brands before (though not your exact models). Bose is going to have the best ANC if money is no object. Apple didn't have as good a seal or as comfortable, Sony didn't have as good anc, and sennheiser does not do good anc (though their sound is immaculate). Evrything else you can forget if you're not on a budget. Reviews that say Jabra or soundcore are as good for a lot cheaper are disingenuous - yes they can be decent on a budget, but they don't compare in terms of anc. I've tried jabra, soundcore, earfun, you name them.

They are pretty damn far behind. I've commented it elsewhere but no brand holds a candle in terms of anc to bose and Sony (and maybe Apple) earbuds. Other brands are good on a budget, but comparing them to the likes of bose is incredibly misleading. I've tried them all after reading reviews that say that they're comparable - they're not Edit: I was wrong about the Jabra. I tried it out Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 based on the comment below, and ANC is comparable (though slightly worse). I would recommend the Jabra over the Bose because of Bose's shitty software.

I had a pair of Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 - very good all round but failed in about 6 months. Tried the sony XM5 next and they were returned after 1 trip - could not get them to consistently noise cancel and ergonomics/controls were poor - have returned them due to issues with the ANC. So I'm onto the standard QC now and so far impressed with the fit/comfort and the ANC seems very good immediately, will try them on a flight next week.

I own the Jabra elite 10 gen 2, sounds pretty good and great anc and hear through. It's just a little quiet, at least without stock eartips. Stock eartips are awful for my ears, terribly designed imo. I got them for a great deal. Sad Jabra products are no longer produced. 😭

I have them all! The xm5s are formidable on all spectrums (I use them without anc in the gym because the passive insulation is excellent!) The AirPods are very good but the sound is much worse. The Jabra are comfortable, good active isolation and much better sound over the AirPod Pro 2. The momentum is excellent in sound quality, the ANC is equivalent to the Jabra. The Bose are excellent in anc but their really low end. If I had to give you an ultimate choice, if you listen to a lot of music and quality and reduction are important to you, Sony is the best placed. They are part of my daily and my favorite pair for listening to music with the Denon Perl Pro.

I have. The JBL Tour Pro 3, Denon PerL Pro after their acoustic measurements, B&W Pi8, Jabra Elite 10 gen 2, and even more budget-friendly options. The EX and Eleven are overpriced and provide generic warm audio. Nothing wrong with that if you want to spend the money. But their ANC is b-tier at most with an interesting and comfortable design. Nothing wrong with liking them, but there are other true wireless earbuds that sound better and have better ANC.

You can EQ them. Most people judge stock sound quality without EQ’ing. I also think the Elite 10 sound better. Somewhat worse ANC, but they’re more comfortable, won’t thud when you walk or do activities (even the Elite 8 will), and don’t sit nearly as far into your ear.

I’ve had experience with a few of these, and I can give you some insights based on your priorities. Here’s what I think, in terms of sound quality, Sony and Sennheiser are usually considered the best, with crisp highs and deep bass. For ANC, Sony and Bose are top-notch, but the Technics and Jabra also do well. Call quality is solid across all, but I’d give an edge to the AirPods Pro and Sony for clear, noise-canceling calls. Would love to hear what you decide!

Jabra elite 10 gen 2. I bought it for CAD 199, been a Jabra user since 2018. Works great!

Jabra Elite 10 gen 2, upgraded from 85t and had 65t before those. The only TWS earbuds that make any sense IMO. Why tf does pixel buds not have a mute button?

Jabra Elite 10 gen 2. Couple of weeks ago I found myself in the waiting room of a pediatric dentist office. The only seat available was 5 feet from the play area. There were no less than 15 kids of various ages. At about 10 minutes in I felt my blood start to boil. It was like some Guantanamo torture method with all the different frequency sounds coming from those kids. Just then I remembered I had my earbuds so I popped them in, turned the ANC to the max, turned low ambient noise and within 5 minutes I was snoozing. About 30 minutes later the receptionist came to wake me up. Definitely worth the money for those 35 minutes of ANC bliss. I use them about 3 to 4 hours a day for online meetings and pop them on the charger about once a week. Battery life is more than enough for my needs.

I actually ended up picking up the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 at Best Buy and I’m very impressed with them so far, but it’s early.

They are wickedly good. People who are saying they aren’t good must not have a good seal, because when the fitment is right the ANC is super good. Both rtings and soundguys has their ANC as one of the best on the market. In fact I passed out on my couch with them in my ears with just the ANC on and no sound playing.

Rtings had it above Sony and then Sony bumped up, and the Jabra Actives are behind it now. They were both top notch, I couldn’t decipher any notable differences to be fair.

The Gemini 2 sound fantastic, like seriously fantastic. They lack modern day codec support though, and that’s a real bummer. It depends on *why* you are getting buds. Also, at the price point, you’d expect them to be fully loaded w/ competing features. I returned them to Amazon because the purchase to me, felt too much for what I got. I had the Sennheisers, but unfortunately returned them due to two main reasons. 1) Connectivity when 2 devices are connected. They can get stuck when switching to another device and refuse to switch back. It’s a known problem and I experienced it. 2) Even if you turn the app settings off, it may automatically go into standby mode anyway. The issue with the M4 standby modes (issue on the buds and the over the ears), is that some devices will not send audio afterwards. This means they need to be reconnected. I experienced on two different devices. Other than that, man, the sound quality was also top tier. I wish the software was too. I seriously loved the sound. So what did I settle on? Jabra Elite10 Gen I tried: Both you listed, JBL Pro Tour 3, Sony XM5s, Bose Ultra Quiet, Pi7 (haven’t tried the 8s yet), and the Technics AZ80s. I have not tried the Denons. Why the Jabras? They just did everything right. - I’ve had zero connectivity drops, or issues switching between devices fluidly. - No issues like the Momentum’s when it came to audio being played back after taking them out for standby. - They were my favorite fitting, and the comfort is seriously ridiculous. - IP57 for dust and sweat protection (I run a lot) - Sound is still very good and clean with a nice neutral sound. As for ANC. I’d say the XM5s were the best and the AZ/Pi7 were on the bottom, but my main use case is wind and fans, so they all worked nearly equally as well.

If you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, the Anker Soundcore Space A40 might surprise you with its performance. For a balanced option with strong sound and comfort, the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 is a solid pick as well. You really can’t go wrong with any of these!

Leved em except that you can't turn off ANC during phone calls and ANC makes me sick. Really really good mic quality. Best of the bunch. Very good sound. Overall a little darker sounding but still good. Very comfortable, good controls, smallish and light case with great battery. To me the AZ80 edges out the Elite 10 on sound, and Elite 10 is better on mic.

Sigh, just lost my old earbuds and was planning to get the elite active 8 gen 2 or the elite 10 gen 2. Now I’m dubious at best. I expect 3 year warranty for products I purchase (living in sweden), seems I’ll at most get 2 year decent support and updates will likely be sporadic at best. Maybe better to try finding another brand. I’ve tried some other ones, airpods sit really bad and are uncomfortable. Sony sit decently comfortable but get pushed out easily, when smiling, talking or moving, especially once you get warm/sweaty. Jabra sit really nicely and comfortably and don’t slip out. Therefore they’re worth far more to me and audio quality is better due to a nice fit. I’ll have to consider things carefully. These earbuds aren’t cheap, I can get into the premium earbud category for every brand for this money. Wish it was easier to test a lot of different brands.

In addition to those mentioned Jabra elite 8/10 gen 2 are great for background noise reduction, just takes 10-15 to fully kick in but then busy roads and moderate wind seemingly disappear in calls.

I got them early October so I’ve used them daily for 4.5 months by now

They all have lousy microphones though - if that matters the only pair from the list that have good call quality is the Jabra’s.

Almost all earbuds mentioned have really poor call quality despite being a primary concern. Huawei freebuds pro 4 is the best option hands down from that aspect and overall great buds. AZ100 might be the best allround earbuds right now but if they aren’t available that’s no option. If you can find jabra elite gen 2 still sold somewhere they are also a great allround option, even Gen 1 are great buds.

Finally someone answered the man's question. The Jabra elite active 10 gen2 are the GOAT for ANC but seem to have static problems.

Jabra elite 10 gen 2 more consistent noise cancellation across most frequency ranges

Good question. Both dolby modes work well but the LG does get louder. Dolby atmos works with all content with both, the jabra elite have the added benefit of an easy to use notification toggle for enabling or disabling atmos. With LG the atmos setting is tied to head tracking so you have to have head tracking enabled when using dolby atmos. Interestingly, if you use the 3d soundstage eq the sound is almost as expansive whilst not having to deal with the head tracking miss. For the most part I found myself using the 3d soundstage option more often. Also I think jabra really had their eye on LG as the gen 2 version of the elite 10 also comes with a transmitter like the t90s but in my usage it didn't work as well as the t90s

Yes that's right. I have alot of 3arbuds actually but I am using these more often mostly due to the comfort and sound for me. With the Sony they are just not that comfortable for me and I lose the seal with little movements alot. U also have limited controls with the Sony which is again very annoying. The LG t90s very closely match the jabra elite 10. Both of which are superior to the Sony in my opinion

Talking purely dolby atmos.. Given you can't disable head tracking with the t90 I think jabras implementation is superior personally. In operation they both sound great though, but not being able to disable head tracking is pretty annoying with the t90. I've noticed that LG have been surprisingly good with updates of late though. I've had 4 solid software updates to the buds since I've had them.. Maybe LG are starting to pay more attention to their buds. Whichever you can get cheaper and offers the best after service support go with that. I think you will be happy with either. Note : due to the way the tips work with the LG t90s, third party tips are not compatible but LG do send replacements for free anyway

I'm about to upgrade to the Jabra Elite 10. I've had the 7's for quite a few years (and I love them), and the batteries are starting to not last longer than a couple hours. Time for an upgrade.

If comfort and fit are your top priorities, [Jabra Elite 10 (Gen 2)](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProductsDiscussion/s/8SG9FE8hpl) is a great choice. They stay secure during workouts, have excellent connectivity, and offer good sound quality. What matters most to you in earbuds?

I second the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2. But how would you compare the Jabras to the One Plus earbuds? I am thinking about getting the One Plus Buds pro 3 as well, and I wanted to know your opinion.

I’ve had a pair of Jabra elite since ‘22 or so. Can’t say that I love them. A couple years and they don’t keep a charge anymore. But I also don’t have anything to compare them to, so I suppose they work fine ((shrug))

I'm currently using the Jabra Elite 10, and they’ve been fantastic. The fit is excellent—they stay in place even during workouts. I previously tried the Pixel Buds Pro, but the fit wasn’t great for me. With the Elite 10, I never have to worry about them falling out, making them a perfect choice for both everyday use and exercise.

I have small ears and the Elite 7's smallest size fit my ears perfectly. I could move any with confidence that they wouldn't fall out. The Elite 10 is a touch big for me so I don't have the same confidence but they fit none the less, I would just prefer a tighter fit

I like my jabra elite 10

You can snag the jabras 10 if you're commuting and care about talking, 8 if you're active. They say they are discontinuing their earbuds line but 1. It'll be back 2. I still have every set I've ever owned and haven't had any issues. If you get 2 years out of them at 169 that about .25 cents per day. Great deal for great use but they'll last longer.

I have and had Perl Pro, AZ80, Elite 10. I also wanted to try MTW4 but i have the momentum 4 headphones. For some reason whenever i want to do critical listening i always reach for my az80s.

Jabra 10, most comfortable buds on the market. Sound great too

REALLY late to the game here, but I came across this thread because my Jabra elite 10s are NOWHERE near loud enough. The sound quality is phenomneal but my 5ish year old jabra elite active 75ts are way better, and the ANC is better too.

They're great, very comfy. The most comfortable buds I've ever found, however, are the Jabra Elite 10.

I have this one as well and it's significantly worse than my (admittedly more espensive) Galaxy Buds 3 or Jabra Elite 10s.

I have the Pixel Buds Pro 2, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 3, and the Jabra Elite 10. Of the 3, I think the Jabra Elite's check all the boxes most (call quality, comfort, ANC, multipoint).

I have a lot of earbuds, most of them in the $180 - $279 price range, and my favorites are the Jabra Elite 10. They have great sound and due to their oval-shaped ear tips, they are very comfortable for long sessions. Because of the shape of the tips, you never get that feeling of an uncomfortable seal in your ear canal. They support AAC, so they may sound a little better on an iPhone than they would on Android, where they use the SBC codec. Good luck!

I have been using Jabra for about 4 years now. Started with the 75 and now have the 10 elite. They are expensive but high quality. Don't know if they are the best bang for buck but I know they guarantee quality.

I was deeply saddened to hear the news. Jabra is one of my favorites in the TWS space. I've had a lot of earphones over the years - I keep going back to Jabra, Sony, Samsung, and more recently even a pair of Apple Airpods Pro (Not really an Apple fan - I have a macbook for video editing but otherwise use Samsung/Android phones and work in IT with Linux but most frequently Windows). I have hard-to-fit ears and deep-set earbuds don't work great for me. I feel like it is worth mentioning that the Jabra Elite 10s are the only TWS earbuds that I haven't had to use after-market eartips to get the best fit. I will mostly likely get a set of the Elite 10 Gen 2 just because they are purported to be the last. If anyone from Jabra ever reads this, I just wanted to say that your products are VERY competitive within its class. I consider the Elite 10 to be the best all-rounder and is usually the top pick between my Sony WF-1000XM5, Samsung Buds Pro, and Apple Airpods Pro 2 (lightning). When I leave the house, if I had to pick one set to take with me, the Jabra Elite 10s are it. For anyone that needs to connect to many different devices/platforms, under many different conditions, as well as for calls and music, I consider the Jabras to be the absolute best. I've been disappointed by the news since for the last month and have been looking for somewhere to express my thoughts to Jabra. I hope some community manager/social media-related staff sees all of this feedback somehow. I have a feeling a direct email would likely be lost/redirected, buried, and go otherwise unnoticed. I still hold out hope that the Elite series will eventually continue. I do feel like Jabra's product portfolio was getting unnecessarily large. Otherwise, it's an end of an era that began with bluetooth headsets for phone conversations... up to the Elite 65t, 75t, 85t, and 10, which have been very good to me (aside from my 85t just dying for no apparent reason).

Jabra elite 10 are really comfortable and sound is excellent

I have Jabra Elite 10, Technics AZ80 and Denon Perl Pro. My experience is that the Jabras (with AZLA tips) are the most comfortable pair I own, with good mics and reasonable sound and long battery life - definitely the pair I use the most. AZ80 and Perl Pros are quite even in terms of (superior) sound quality with Perl having slightly better ANC.

A few months ago, I tested out a bunch of noise cancelling earbuds, so here are a few I have experience with: - Jabra Elite 10: to my ears these have the best ANC with the lowest noise floor and they're pretty comfortable, however they fall out relatively easily, but it's not that bad either. Jabra also stopped their earbuds division so it won't get new updates anymore. These are the ones I ended up keeping and using the most. - Airpods Pro 2: great noise cancelling and audio quality imo but bad compability (need to borrow an iPhone to enable ANC off otherwise you can only switch between hearthrough and ANC). I kept these too, but use them less than the Jabras. - Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: best for compability with Samsung obviously. However, mine had some sort of whistling/ringing noise with some sounds, like my rubbing against clothing or hair, which I found annoying. ANC was good but not as good at the other two. - Sony WF-1000XM5: great passive noise isolation but very lackluster ANC in my opinion. I really don't get why people are so enthusiastic about it because I could barely hear any difference between ANC on or off. They did fit great in my ears though, and it seems like a lot of people do think the noise cancelling is great, so it might still be worth a try. - Bose QC Ultra: personally I returned these immediately because they have an awful noise floor; unless you're in a pretty loud envirenment you constantly hear white noise and can't even turn off ANC. Idk about the ANC itself anymore because this issue bothered me so much.

For me its the Jabra Elite 10: * pretty, most comfy and no plugged ear feeling * very neutral tuning with high resolution across the spectrum. Don't even need to equilize (which you could) * Great battery * very capable ANC, only really beaten by Bose imho * true dolby 3d sound * those physical buttons are SO much better than touch, swipe, pinch and just anything else. Like, want to adjust volume through your hat with gloves on riding your bike? no problem at all * you can get them far below 200 bucks (especially first gen, which are fine). Got mine for 119 on amazon

oof, wouldn't pay that much

I got the jabra elite 10 for 120 and they are absolutely awesome comfort and soundwise. See if you can get them anywhere. Edit: I came from soundcore 4 nc and the jabras are significantly better in most regards

bought gen1 in germany on amazon, but they are harder and harder to get

As someone who also used those daily for 18 Months and looked for an upgrade long and hard: Jabra Elite 10! Better in every way but also more expensive.

I just got my second pair of jabra 10 elites because of how much i like them for working out and at work. I'm not a runner but I'm not sure how they'd be for running if that means anything.

Jabra elite 10 very nice noise cancelation and the voices come out nice and crisp

I am happy with some of the Jabra earbuds. Both Elite Active 75t, Elite 7 and Elite 10 have good sound and fit that for me is superior to e g AirPods Pro. 

It is all about fit.  But the elite Jabras, Sennheiser momentum true wireless and ofc AirPods Pro2 are good.  

I got the Java elite 10 and I loved everything about them, BUT they still fell out of my ear));

I daily the beoplay ex and love the sound the anc and the ip57 rating. Have a premium feel and look. I also have the denon perl pro, the jabra elite 10, mtw3, and many more and those are my daily for all things except work which I use Bose ultra open.

I just added the Devialet Gemini 2 so. Devialet Gemini 2 Beoplay ex Denon perl pro Nothing 2024 Jabra elite 10 Based on sound quality alone.

I tried a lot of Earbuds, Google Pixel Buds 2, Samsung buds pro 2, Bose qc ultra, jabra elite 10, one plus... Everyone of this add a good anc. Sony don't. And I even tried 3 xm5 units. If you tried anc on and off its the same thing. No difference what so ever. That's my experience. And I love sony products. I own xm5 headphones for example

Very sad news. Been using Elite 10s for the last year and 65ts before that. Safe to say my house was a Jabra house. Can’t see what out there directly replaces them :((( Here’s hoping my Elite 10s last forever

No. They probly won’t move when you exercise but they have a very loose fit. They don’t sit in your ear the way 65ts did.

The best (the most versatile) earphone I've tried is Jabra Elite 10, either gen 1 or 2, followed closely by Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Both of those are better than everything else I've tried, including Sennheiser MTW4, Technics AZ80, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 and some other cheaper earbuds. If you value comfort and ANC more - go for Jabra / sound and transparency - Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

For phone calls, Elite 10 for sure! 8 Active are pretty good but you sound quieter to other callers. 10s are fantastic.

Having the same requirements as you 1. I started with Apple (everything including Beats). Poor for the gym. Pair with a computer poorly and also don't let go so you leave work and your phone wont connect to them because even tho the laptop is shut, they are still paired. 2. I switched to Jabra and I am a fan. The way they pair with two devices at once and switch intelligently is something I love. I am listening to an audiobook on my watch then join a Teams call on my laptop SEAMLESSLY. If you favour gym use over the office then Elite Active. If you favour music quality more then the Elite 10s but the 10s aren't as secure a fit for vigorous exercise. I have the 10s for work, music, books and they are super comfortable. I use the Active 8s for the gym and running. The Active 7s had a lot of occlusion so no good for running. The 8s it's so mild you only notice it when there is no audio playing. I also use the 10s like some people would use Loop earplugs, nothing playing at all. You can ear all day without any ear fatigue, soreness or ear-itch. AMA

The 10s would be fine for most gym users and runners and are the most comfortable. I do CrossFit and burpees or ski erg or similar cause them to fall out. The one thing Jabra is allegedly not as good at is ANC but I find them comparable to AirPods Pro. Unless you need the Gen 2 feature of streaming from the case (more useful than I thought but still not used very much) then Gen 1 is fine and there is Q1 25 firmware update planned that will bring them further in line with Gen 2.

They don't feel heavy, in fact they hardly feel at all, that's part of the appeal. If you look at r/Jabra then you will see a lot of feedback on the 10s. Some people feel the ANC is not enough but a regular on here and also a gym-rat uses the 10s with 3rd party tips. I wore them at the gym last week and they were fine. I am sure there are other 'more perfect' gym buds but I picked up on your office use. It's this duality that makes me really rate the 10s,

Hi again. I ran 12k at the weekend and they didn't adjusting. That was the Elite 10s (gen 1). If I wear them for 'stationery exercise' I don't feel like I ever adjust them, I forget they are even in. I wear the Elites to work (music/audiobooks) and at work (Teams calls). They never irritate my ears. There is a caveat here: the triangle shape of the buds works for most people but 1 in 20 on here don't like it or can't find a good fit. The fit means that the bud rests in your ear rather than the tip securing it in the canal. There are 3rd party tips which some people buy because they say it provides a better seal and therefore better ANC and bass. I got my Gen 2 Elite 10 today and the firmware update definitely seems to make a difference to ANC. Sound is subjective. I am mostly a bass-head and listen to dubstep (not jump-up) and D'n'B/Jungle (not jump-up) and grime/drill. I'm a recent convert to metal scene and listen to hardcore/deathmetal. I think they are comparable or better than any of the AirPods I have owned. I've always rated Jabra for bass compared to Apple. I had the old 65t and they still work and the bass is wild but they made my ears itch so are relegated to the kitchen drawer where tech goes to retire. The Elite Actives (Gen 1) don't budge BUT they do suffer from occlusion (you can hear a thump in your ears when you run) so I use them for CrossFit but not running. Because they are traditional tips the seal is better and I think the bass sounds better because of that. Again, massively subjective and also you could add a subwoofer and I would still want more bass. I don't have other headphones to provide an objective comparison. I now have the Gen 2 but not used enough to make any other observations. Re: refund - likely not for the update but if you buy direct and don't get on with them you can return within 30 days (so I have been told). One feature missing compared to Apple - a decent FindMy option for buds and case. Service: I have twice had issues (over the years) and both times support has been good and in two cases I have had a) replacement sent for bud fail and b) replacement set for firmware fail. HTH

Jabra elite 10/8 Gen 1 and Gen 2. The Elite 10 buttons are sensitive enough you can press them with your shoulder.

Over the ear offer better noise cancelling, but I now just travel with my Jabra Elite 10 and a pair of wired in ears with foam tips. My Bose QC2s are nice, just bulky and on long halls my ears would get so hot and sweaty. Plus if I wanted to sleep, it made it difficult when wearing those.

Go with Jabra Elite 10. Agree with some of the posters here (that mentioned Elite 10), this earbud is actually super nice and easy on the ear (sound quality and comfortability wise). Mine is Elite 10 gen 1, so probably would want to go with Elite 10 gen 2, which is the latest earbuds from Jabra.

I have been using Jabra Elite 10 for quite awhile now and for me, this is the most comfortable piece of earbuds that I've ever wear. The sound quality is pretty nice and just wonderful to listen at. ANC quality is good enough, though maybe not as good as the XM5. Battery life, I would say pretty good as well, at least beyond your average TWS earbuds.

The 10’s are a bit more comfortable and the quality of the 10’s is a marked improvement from the 8’s, 7’s, 5’s, 4’s & 3’s (IMHO.)

Jabra. I got my spouse the jabra 10s. They have spatial speakers and I couldn't believe how amazing they were over my jabra elite 7s. They apparently are not making any more versions which sucks

Jabra Elite 10. Enjoy the Dolby surround

Jabra elite 10, but the XM5 are so much better

Still rocking with my Elite 75t Active. I am saddened to see them exiting the market. Guess it's time to stock up on the newer Elite 10.

Jabra Elite 10 (Get them before they're gone) Jabra Elite Active 8 Gen 2 (light, easy, excellent sound quality, and basically waterproof; no good hires codecs though, and the app is decent at best) Also get them before they're gone. The other thing about the Jabras is that the case becomes a Bluetooth transmitter for devices that aren't Bluetooth enabled. So, for example, you can use your earbuds on the in-flight entertainment systems on some airlines. (I LOVE them for travelling.) (Jabra is discontinuing their lines of wireless earbuds, which is really a shame.) Technics AZ-80 (one of the leaders in the 200-300 space; they were just made obsolete by the introduction of teh AZ-100s, so I'm expecting their price to go down even more soon) Denon PerL Pro (excellent sound quality, great integration of AptX codec, and amazing sound personalization, but blech everything else, including app and case). These were on sale during Black Friday/Christmas for $150, and for a short time Amazon had some limited stock for $99, which is absolutely insane quality for that price. Back at $200? I think I like the other options better. But be on the lookout. Nothing Ear (2024) -- stylish, comfy, squeeze controls so no accidental misclicks, great app. Sound quality is probably one rank below the Jabra, Technics, and Denon, but they're fine buds.

Jabra Elite 10 is very comfortable but I found their sounding sibilant and sand

I tried Jabra 8, Jabra 10, Sennheiser Momentum 4, Pixel Buds Pro 2 Kept the Pixel Buds Pro 2 Best mix of fit, battery life, ANC Found the Jabra comfy .. ANV good on the 8 but audio quality noticeably dipped when it was on. ANC was bad on the 10 for me. Worse than the 8. Momentum 4 has good ANC. Probably around the same as Buds Pro 2, maybe even better. But they were a bit bulky and prolonged use hurt my ears. Also the case is big, like twice as thick as the others. Annoying to carry around. Buds Pro 2 comfiest, still sound good, ANC good, small case with tracking and speaker etc. Got them for £150 on eBay. Happy with that .. Momentum sound better, but not leagues better for my use.

I’ve had Sony XM5, Bose Ultra Open and Quiet Comfort Ultra, Jabra 10’s, and the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s. I used them all for working out/music/work (switching between Teams calls and cell) and the Sennheiser Momentum 4s beat out the others in just about every category that’s important for me (comfort, connectivity, app UI, and call clarity). They’re wildly underrated buds compared to what’s popular right now. I don’t know if they’re still on sale, but they were just $100 off at Best Buy for $199, and I HIGHLY recommend them over the other high end choices available.

FWIW people I've spoken to have had no problems during my calls with the Jabra Elite 10. My voice was described as "sounds good" lol

Jabra Elite 10's. Not bad. Not amazing. The ANC isn't great. I preferred the Buds Pro 2 but I washed those. Then I washed my back pair of Galaxy buds. I decided to go with a cheaper pair (the Jabra's were on offer) that wouldn't break the bank should I leave them in the pocket of my laundry.

Same biat. Using Jabra elite 85t currently. Pixel user . My research on the choices i have tell me: One plus pro3. lacks mute button ( super useful while taking calls ) but good call quality Jabra elite 10: stopping production. Pricy but overall good. Nothing : bad build quality. Good call quality Pixel pro 2: horrible call quality in noisy environment Airpod pro2 : does not work well with Android Sony xm5: fit issues

Not the Jabra Elite 10, they are not bad but they definitely not prioritized audio. Out of the box they sound like shit, when EQ'd they sound ok. They sound distort with high pitched voices at high volumes with or without EQ

The Jabra Elite 10 Earbuds are great... What gives the XM5 good ratings is good ANC

If fit is your problem, I recommend you try the Jabra Elite 10. They have a very very comfortable fit in almost all ear types (made by scanning 62000 ears apparently). Maybe that works for you

After years of trying all devices I can get my hands on for Teams... this seems to be the case. Dongle always wins out but Jabra always seems a few steps behind Plantronics/Poly for features and execution. Like for example my voyager 5200 is flawless with both my laptop and phone connected and always handles phone calls/meetings seamlessly without interruption. However if I get a phone call during a teams meeting with Jabra there's a 50/50 chance the headset will beep at me incessantly even after I ignore the call on the phone. This happens even with the dongle. I only wish Poly's Free60 true wireless buds didn't suck so bad. That would've been the ultimate device for me.

I have the Elite 10, Elite 8 Active, Elite 8 Active Gen 2, and Elite 7 Active. No issues with any of them. Defective products happen.

Five months in and love them. Never had any issues. So comfortable and comes with really strong ANC. Together with Jabra Elite 10, these are my daily drivers.

Hey I know you like the jabras elite 10’s. I have a pair I’m looking to trade if you’re interested? I’d take almost anything too. I love the jabras but they just don’t work with my left ear. I’d even send them first and once you get them you could send whatever out. If you’re interested just message me. You’ve helped me a ton with earbuds so thought I’d offer, if not no worries! Just want someone to use them.

If I wanna listen to music, I'll wear one earpiece of jabra elite 10 (used elite active 65t before), if I want to listen to podcasts, I'll wear my Suunto Wing.

Jabra elite 10 suck anc is garbage

I like jabra elite 10, and huawei freebuds

Their mic are meh, especially the sennies, they're not great at all.  Great for sound, but the mtw4 isn't a huge upgrade to the 3. It's what the 3 should have been (ie no battery issues).  Sennies claiming they're future proof when they didn't really do much with auracast (ala jbl tp3). Or not even adding jabra's transmitter case.  The devialet looks and feels nice, premium too. They're definitely up there. But again for the price you're paying, and what you're getting (yes amazing sound, top notch anc, excellent build, but not much other features), some people may argue they're not the best valued. The jbl tp3 seems like a nice overall package. So are the jabra elite 8/10 gen 2. They're great across the board, except for maybe build quality. Anc, sound, mic, ip protections, bluetooth transmitter, auracast are all above average. 

The jbl definitely hits hard ( tp2). Haven't tried the 3, but early reviews seems like they're great sounding. Jabra doesn't hit hard, but they're still have good sound that people would enjoy.  Xm5 has the extra bass boost. I'd also say the bose qce have hard hitting bass. These aren't exactly feature packed though, as they don't have auracast, nor Bluetooth transmitters. (Or even wireless charging for the bose lol) All of these have excellent wear sensors.  I think we both have different definition of'best', which is fine. I think gemini ii is great, but the sennies, meh. I reckon the buds fe is the best valued. Excellent anc, transparency, mic, fit. You can also use a3rd party equaliser and make them sound better out of the box (not saying they beat other tws in this regard, but considering sound is subjective, you can tweak them to what you'd like). And for what was on sale at 99aud, that's value. 

Any Jabra Gen 2. You'll thank me later

What about just best noise cancellation? Sound quality is good obviously but I find that ANC is probably my most important feature. I have a set of Jabras and One Plus 3. The Jabras seems to have better ANC. Can’t remember the exact Jabras I have but something something elite, they were like $130 a year and a half ago.

I did research relying on shitty top 10 lists, and invested in Jarva elite earbuds. I can thoroughlly recommend avoiding the brand entirely. A productthat bad doesnt come from a good company.

I have the Jabra Elite with ANC and find it’s decent. Not complete noise cancellation but good enough.

Jabra elites are incredible. On my second pair and they've lasted at least 2 years now.

1. Research this stuff online, compare and contrast your options 2. Google the exact model(s) you want/are interested in + Bangkok 3. Go to the store(s) that stock those model(s) I went with Jabra Elites

I have a horrible track record with electronics, and yet mine lasted years, and they didn't die, I just lost them

Jabra elite. Love it for running (snug) and ANC feature. Price point is reasonable.

I also have a pair of Jabra Elites. The AirPod pro 2s are so good it is no contest. Obvious downside is attachment to Apple ecosystem and some incompatibility with using as general Bluetooth device

Used to own Jabra elite but they are not in market anymore. Seinheiser MTW4 is good too

My experience was that they were great when they worked - but reliability was always pretty bad, and they wouldn't last more than 12-18 months at ost.

100%, I've struggled with finding a balance for good music, ANC, and comfort. Air pods are the GOAT IMO. I've had probably 4 different pairs of JBLs that work great but don't last long. Either the dust gets to them or the case stops charging the buds even when clean. I'm currently using Jabra Elites that are honestly great, though I wish they stayed in my ears better when I'm in weird positions. Edit: adding that I do not care about industry standards, my job isn't OSHA involved and has no actual safety standards enforced.

Honestly, given how often I lose earbuds and the battery issues, I stopped buying earbuds for longevity. I decide upon a price range and go with a company I recognise. My best pair has been a Jabra Elite. Unfortunately it seems they got rid of buttons. I hate how every company just releases update after update, with lessening improvements and higher prices.

Jabra is really good in a lot of ways but the poor codec support is a dealbreaker if you have Android. They sound like garbage with the older codecs. The ANC is also maybe 20% as good as the QC Ultra

I think I want these earphones. I've heard Isotunes suck, and some of the well recieved OSHA compliant earphones are stupid expensive so $220 ain't bad. I used to use Jabra Elites which I really liked, but using them while running a stump grinder made crazy loud and annoying feedback the whole time. I read that these headphones are very good with their ANC but I just wanna know if I can run a circular saw while using these and how well they will work for my residential contracting work? Thank you!

I'm a huge fan of the Jabra Elite I got on Amazon for around $60, they were on sale to boot.

Had airpods 2, today was my first training with airpods 4 anc. Everything sits in place. I don’t have pro version, because my ears don’t like that silicone thing. And i had jabra elite previously, and earbuds falled of during walking.

Agreed, you have to try several and pick a style that works for you. For me, the absolute best fit for my ears are the Samsung Buds Live, but they are the only ones that make that shape. The worst shape for me are the Jabra Elite / Sony WF-1000XM5 style that stick out way far from your ears. Never understood why they are designed to be so far outside your ear. Like you could never wear them with a bike or motorcycle helmet.

I saw Bone conductor headphones at Costco and I need a new pair they didn't have a display so i never bought them. I mostly use earbuds in the gym. I have Jabre elites right now but they are like 4 years old and the right speaker is almost out completely Not sure how I am supposed to buy newish tech without ever trying them before.

Jabra Elite in-ears outfitted with Comply Foam tips for me. Very comfortable, fantastic isolation, and I've never come close to losing one while I sleep.  With this setup, there's no need to pack my bulky over-ears.

Obviously way too many Apple fanboys/girls. CMF (Nothing) Buds Pro 2 are amazing value under £100 and with a unique control wheel on the case. The app is also super clean with Dirac and Spatial audio, they would easily be in the top 10 for me at any price. Sony XM are great but have premature battery failure issues. Jabra Elites are excellent if spending over £50. Samsung Buds Pro 3 are excellent under £100 with cashback offers. OnePlus and Huawei also severely underrated.
