Jabra - Elite 2

Upvoted because I’m only a year in but live mine and hoping something comparable comes along. The Gen II were as good or better than anything else out there, and they’re waterproof with really good battery. Feel like Jabra gave up at the finish line …

i have the jabra elite 2’s and they sound very good, but the problem is only the right earbud is the only one you can use while the left is in the case idk y they did that so hopefully they changed that for the 3’s but not sure also they have discontinued all of their earbuds and no longer sell them in any stores. So they’re just selling what they have left.

I am using jabra elite 2 - pretty cheap, just use one earbud and you got all transparency needed. For Everyday i use AirPods Pro 2 - they are shit on Bike when it comes to wind block. I also tried cheap bone conduction and they Were shit also. Just go for the cheapest one and just use one earbud at time - Jabra does the job

Oh no!! Yeah my Jabra Elites have been so good for about 7 years. Was thinking of upgrading soon but this is a spanner

Jabra Elite here as well. I do about 1K miles/year, nearly all urban streets and nearly all with sound canceling (it’s never good enough to block all noise). Especially with electric cars, it’s about eyes and defensive running period. Ears are important, sure. But in the quiet electric era (or in cities with scooters and bikes cultures), I find myself looking way more than listening. I’ve been dense urban area running for 15+ years (think NYC and the like), and the change is real. I know the consensus is anti-sound canceling or anti-earbud and even anti-music. But I’ve run a ridiculous amount of miles over the years and music is a big part is my running. But to be fair, I chose my headphones based on battery life. Once I had a marathon go wrong and my headphones died at 3.5 hours and I limped to a 5 hour walking finish. Damn, even a touch of music might have helped the struggle. Best of luck!

Not the Shokz ones, that's for sure. I actually \*like\* music. (Just lolz!) Kidding aside, I'm wildly fussy when it comes to earbuds. I've had some more expensive ones like Jabra Elites and others, but they always fail within a year, and I have truthfully never found anything better sounding and longer lasting through daily sweat, snow, and accidental washing/drying than the lowly $25 JLAB GO POP+. YMMV of course. I OTOH will die on this hill.

I have also been thinking this, I'd say get anything that works. Closed Backs with ANC are probably your friend here. Also Bose is quite expensive....I have used Jabra Elites pretty good.

I just learned that Jabra discontinued their consumer lines. It sucks. My old Elite's batteries are starting to be really weak and I wanted to upgrade with new ones 😫

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

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.
