"They have "hear through mode" that allows me to hear outside noise while I am riding."
"noise cancelling"
"I have the Jabra Elite with ANC and find it’s decent. Not complete noise cancellation but good enough."

"Miss mine so much after four years of heavy use (and were bought second hand anyway) they finally stopped holding a charge."

"using them while running a stump grinder made crazy loud and annoying feedback the whole time."
"even with hear through mode I feel cut off from my surroundings with ear buds ... The hear through kind of sucks when running though. ... Lot of wind noise ... I personally still feel isolated from the outside world in a way that isn quite safe."

"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."
Major-Leadership-360 1.0I like this list a lot. I feel like in the mid range it would be worth adding jabra elite 3 active’s. I actually prefer them slightly over my soundcore liberty pro 3’s
williamfuckner 0.1The hear through kind of sucks when running though. Lot of wind noise and I personally still feel isolated from the outside world in a way that isn’t quite safe. Love my Jabra elites for the gym though
The thump is with anything that sits in your ear canal. I love my Jabra elites for the gym because of good sound and noise cancelling but hate them for running. Gonna get some Shokz just for long runs because of it and also because even with hear through mode I feel cut off from my surroundings with ear buds
Downtown-Corner-4950 0.0Jabra Elite Actives are just all round #1 by multiple running reviewers and I have had 3 versions of them over last few years...great sound...ANC...8 hours battery in use on the latest version...sweat resistant hold via the type of rubber on the buds. Water/sweat proof. Problem is they are discontinueing the line :(
Adohlin 0.0Jabra Elite maybe? I have the active ones for working out, I think they are solid! Jabra is Danish.
CletoParis 0.0Jabra elite actives are awesome!
Dangerous-Pen7764 0.0Been with various Jabra Elite Active for years. The best. So disappointed they are stopping production.
DietSodaPlz 0.0I love my Jabra elite actives. Also if you like music with heavy bass these absolutely rip. Also they’ve never fallen out of my ears while being active - they actually turn off when they’re almost accidentally wiggled loose after a long intense training sesh. Highly recommend these!
Flakkaren 0.0I had a pair of Jabra Elite Active’s, but one day I lost a bud while running.. After that I opted for the Soundcore X20’s. They work great for running.
FuliginEst 0.0I struggle with the same. I have tried ear plugs under ANC headphones, but even the most blocking plugs (35 dB is the highest I have found here), and an expensive headphone, do not block all sound (not even my coworkers laughing and discussing). My best solution so far has been ANC earbuds under ANC headphones.. So double ANC.. I have Jabra Active Elite earbuds, and Sony quite-expensive-something headset. Even this do not give complete silence in the open office plan, but it's quite close to it. In-ear ANC plugs do a lot more for me than ANC over-the-ear headphones. The headphones alone hardly helps at all..
Headglitch7 0.0Sadly jabra killed the elite active line. They're so good!
