"poor codec support is a dealbreaker if you have Android ... They sound like garbage with the older codecs. ... For example the Jabra Elite 8 Active supports SBC codec on Android phones, and it sounds like absolute dog trash. ... Sounds like listening to a 64-128 MP3 you downloaded on limewire 15 years ago."

Yeah the 75ts are the ones I got first and fell in love with. Then I got the Jabra 3 elites and then the Jabra 4 actives. The only reason I got new ones is I lost the other ones. I now have an air tag on them. The best.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for Bluetooth Earbuds (android phone). ->oh good to know. I really hate my samsung earbuds. I can't wait for them to break lol. I almost prefer my jabra elite 3, though the case is almost broken in half (it still charges!!!).
r/Earbuds • I am heavily surprised by the quality of these $60 earbuds ->i like jabra elite 3s for all uses can switch seamlessly between my phone and steam deck, they are earbuds though not headphones
r/SteamDeck • Recommended bluetooth earphones for steam deck? ->Jabra has a lot of Microphone expertise. I dont care about ANC and plan to buy the elite 3.
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds have the best calling/microphone quality? ->Love my/Jabra Elite 3s. Lasted for years. Still going strong. No connection issues.
r/crossfit • Any headphones you would recommend? ->Jabra elite 3. Very good sound and also anc. You can install the app and do some eq
r/Earbuds • Best noise cancelling earbuds under $50 usd? ->I have small ears too and honestly, the Jabra Elite 3 have been the best fit for me so far. They’re super comfy, don’t fall out, and I can wear them for hours without any pain. The sound is really good for the price too. Way better fit than AirPods ever were for me.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for Small Ears ->I have the Jabra elite 3 and I love them. Cheap and good. I also forgot them in my shorts one day in the charging case and put them through the washing machine. They came out of the charging case during the wash and still worked perfectly plus all my earwax was gone. I highly recommend them.
r/crossfit • CrossFit headphones ->Not surprised to so so much jabra. Had jabra 3s but loat one of the buds they were the best pair ive ever had
r/Earbuds • I analyzed the 25 most recommended wireless earbuds on reddit ->Agree with that I had to get my Elite replaced 3 times within warranty period and I always get complaints from people I call that the call is extremely noisy (usually doing house chores and stuff...) which led me to this post haha
r/Earbuds • What are the best Earbuds for comfort + call quality? ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • A good quality pair of bluetooth earbuds ->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.
r/Earbuds • The most recommended wireless earbuds on Reddit (r/Earbuds vs others comparison) Jan 2025 ->Oh no!! Yeah my Jabra Elites have been so good for about 7 years. Was thinking of upgrading soon but this is a spanner
r/trailrunning • Running headphones ->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!
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->Jabra elites are incredible. On my second pair and they've lasted at least 2 years now.
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->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.
r/AskMenOver30 • What’s a good Bluetooth headset for someone who takes a lot of calls during the day? ->I have a horrible track record with electronics, and yet mine lasted years, and they didn't die, I just lost them
r/Jabra • Jabra to EXIT consumer space in 2024 (No more Elite wireless earbuds and headphones) ->Probably gonna get flamed by the shoks gang but I really dont get the hype… I have been using my jabra elites for years and have had zero slipping or issues hearing my surroundings. Plus bone conduction sounds like booty cheeks. Unless my earbuds are cranked or in noise cancelling mode I can hear everything just fine. Idk thats just my opinion tho
r/trailrunning • Running headphones ->Jabra elite. Love it for running (snug) and ANC feature. Price point is reasonable.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Used to own Jabra elite but they are not in market anymore. Seinheiser MTW4 is good too
r/askSingapore • Looking for recommendation for good sound quality and anc wireless earbuds below 200SGD ->I've had the Jabra elites for a couple years and just got a set of Shokz. I prefer the Jabras on my weekday short runs that end up being along streets with traffic because the noise from the cars drowns out the music with Shokz. If it's super early (still dark), less busy streets, or on the trail I go with the Shokz.
r/trailrunning • Running headphones ->Jabra Evolve or Evolve 2 or Jabra Elite headphones / earbuds have pretty good microphones. You can get them for something for a fairly reasonable price used.
r/WFH • Searching for good noise-cancelling earbuds for Teams calls ->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.
r/Jabra • Jabra to EXIT consumer space in 2024 (No more Elite wireless earbuds and headphones) ->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.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Anyone tried these ear buds? ->I can double tap my right earphone and it skips songs. They are Jabra elite’s
r/UKRunners • Best way to change songs during a run? ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • Need a reliable pair of earbuds that won't die on me. ->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
r/Earbuds • The best noise cancelling earbuds Right Now? Recommendations? ->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!
r/bose • Anybody use the quitecomfort ultra ear buds for construction? ->I'm a huge fan of the Jabra Elite I got on Amazon for around $60, they were on sale to boot.
r/Earbuds • What do I buy???? Best earbuds in 2025?? ->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.
r/weightlifting • Any wireless earbuds recommendations? ->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.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds you can purchase on amazon under $150? ->I also have tiny ear canals and the Jabra Elites have worked well for me, they’re secure 95% of the time unless I’m REALLY sweaty, but then usually a quick remove-wipe-replace does the trick.
r/XXRunning • Sports earphones recommendations ->J'ai des jabra élite j'en suis très satisfait, bon son, bonne autonomie, tiennent super bien dans mes oreilles, se nettoient facilement au besoin
r/FitnessFrance • Salut tout le monde, j’hésite entre un casque et des écouteurs pour la salle, vos avis svp (Actuellement avec des écouteurs filaires 💀) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
