"poor codec support is a dealbreaker if you have Android ... They sound like garbage with the older codecs. ...

I have a Jabra 3 and it fits perfectly. I've had problems with JBL and Anker, even Xiaomi buds 3 pro wasn't a good fit ..
r/Earbuds • Which buds to buy with great fit ->Idk how I feel about this I have a Jabra elite 3 I initially loved these earbuds but God do I get problems I had to get my initial product replaced cause the left earbuds started to malfunction and wasn't working properly. I have been using the new pair for like 6-7 months but recently the exact same problems that I had with the first pair started to happen again Now I have no idea if I was just unlucky and got two defective ones or if it's a normal issue with the elite 3. I sent my second pair to Jabra to get looked into a few days ago, let's hope they replace it again. I honestly loved them now I got mixed feelings My brother also has Jabra elite 2 for like 3 years now and he hasn't had any problems yet. Maybe it's just the problem with my specific model or I was just really unlucky
r/Jabra • Jabra to EXIT consumer space in 2024 (No more Elite wireless earbuds and headphones) ->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). ->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 ->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? ->I love my jabra headphones! Good choice
r/ZeroWaste • Can anyone recommend a brand for robust wireless earphones? ->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 still use the 3. It’s good.
r/Marathon_Training • Earphone recommendations ->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 ->I’m a huge fan of my Jabra Elite 3s. One of my pairs that I bought in July 2019 (that I still use every day) went through a full wash cycle earlier this year (with buds in their case), and aside from the mic in one of the earbuds no longer working, they function like normal. I submitted a support request to see if I could get the mic fully working again, and even though my warranty had long passed, Jabra ended up sending me a new pair for free. Not only do I love the earbuds (I use both pairs daily), the customer service is excellent too.
r/ZeroWaste • Can anyone recommend a brand for robust wireless earphones? ->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
r/Earbuds • Best ear buds for working out ->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 ->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
r/Bangkok • Which mall / electronic shop is best to browse for sports ear buds ->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) ->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? ->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
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds in 2024? ->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 ->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? ->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. ->Not at all, it's better to buy jabra elite Cheaper and more comfortable
r/SonyHeadphones • Are the WF-1000XM5’s worth it?? ->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 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 ->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? ->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? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
