Jabra - Elite 4 Active

Not tryna hijack this thread but any recommendation in the the RM 300 range would be appreciated.Can stretch upto RM500 if the quality difference is a lot..Have a Jabra elite 4 active,can't say I need much more in terms of sound,maybe better ANC would be nice..However,something which can last would be good.my Jabras mic on the left earpod got spoilt twice..Rosak once,sent for warranty,they sent me a new one,not long after new ones mic got spoilt on the left earbud again..Have to admit,didn't just magically get spoilt,it dropped a few times but y always the left earbuds mic?lol.terima kasih utk apa2 cadangan wahai putera puteri reddit 🙏

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.

I have had a few sets and so far so good, i had a set of elite 4 actives which i bought because of the waterproof rating, i wear them literally to go to the sauna where i sit for hours, then have a shower with them in then go into the plunge pool (all the way under) then back into the sauna. i do this daily for about an hour or 2 they lasted about 9 months of that which i thought was pretty impressive honestly, most other earbuds die pretty fast in those environments. they technically still work but they have started getting a little funky in the software department. I have a pair of elite 7 active which i use as sleep buds because theyre low profile and again, no issues, sometimes the process of updating is a little weird but like, it does it... eventually, By comparison i got a pair of XM4's and they had something wrong with the speaker that made it sound like there was a ringing whenever i moved my head, coughed etc. Sony gave me the run around on those even though its a well documented issue I have also just sent back a pair of Momentum TW3 because one earbud just like, died, wont charge any more, those also had a really dicky case where if the buds got just a little bit of ear crud on them they wouldnt charge - again a well known and documented issue, all you had to do was clean the buds and theyd work again but like, i shouldnt have to play roulette once every 2 - 3 weeks on whether my buds will work. Last pair ill comment on is Momentum TW2's, they were pretty good and i still use them but when i work out in them, sometimes one ear will like, lose power, not totally, its still playing but theres no bass, the volume is low, then randomly 2 - 3 mins later they go normal again then they die again and repeat... it was really weird. TLDR: Jabra have been good to me in the 3 pairs i have owned, by comparison every time i spend 400 - 500 on a pair of buds (AUD) they have been pretty fuckin trash..

I’d go with the Jabra Elite 4 Active with clear mic, comfy fit, and great battery under 100€. If budget allows, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro deliver excellent call and music quality. Skip budget ENC buds, the mics usually disappoint. Also, check the sound out on AudioTones .co before buying super useful to hear the difference.

Honestly, if you want something that just won’t fall out, go with the Beats Fit Pro those wing tips hug your ears and stay locked in even when you’re pushing hard, plus you get solid ANC and that classic Apple/Beats sound. If you’d rather keep things closer to budget, the Jabra Elite 4 Active are super comfy, sweatproof, and tuned for workouts without feeling bulky. Both are easy recommendations. check them out on [audiotones.co](http://audiotones.co) before you buy so you know which vibe fits you best.

For inner ear… I tested many. Had 4 Jaybird Vista 2 (broke every year). Now I have Jabra Active 4. Payed 60 buck is Amazon. Seriously, all I could ask for fit, connectivity!!!, features, battery, price…. I tend to loose or wash my headphone by accident… so I had many many many. These are the best for me at the moment

Anker A3i are on the cheaper side and work perfectly. I accidentally lost them so my lovely partner is letting me borrow their Jabra Elite 4 Active and those are alright. Good but not as good. I don't like that the quietest setting still feels so loud but for noise cancelling they're good

I specifically bought my Jabra Elite 4 Active to replace my shitty quality apple EarPods, sound quality and voice quality on apple just sucks. Been pretty happy so far, I would buy them again any time, cost benefit are great.

Have Jabra elite 4 active. Really food build quality and audio quality for the price. Only thong I miss is the multi device pairing with instant source switching (Like I have on my over ear Sennheiser HD 450 se, but find them too bulky for prolonged use)

me too, sort of! the inside of my ears is small but my ears overall are probably average size. Across all the pairs of wired earphones I've come across with usually 3 size options of silicone tips, I've only found 2 pairs that had a size that was small enough for me. Held onto one of those little silicone tips for so long and used them with many pairs of earphones over the years. I think I've lost them now, but either way they don't fit on airpods which is what I mostly use now. I have Jabbra Elite Active 4s which are horribly uncomfortable - the body is so bulky and hard and sits in your ear and it causes so much pain. I much prefer the shape and weight of the airpods, but it still isn't perfect. airpod pros are a bit better I think, but pretty far out of my budget. Also, I have become quite conscious of sound quality. A lot of reviews these days don't talk about sound quality or compare the sound quality to any meaningful benchmark. Noise cancelling is a bonus feature but not a necessity for me. Anyways. I mostly just came here to rant about how uncomfortable earphones are. and how few options we actually have, despite this whole capitalism bs. they're all the same old bs and most of them don't even sound good. But there's no good way to research any of it since the lies and advertising are so entrenched

Jabras are not good for small ears! huge body that sits in the ear is super uncomfortable

I have some Jabras that are great. Active elite 4, I think. I love that they still have physical buttons instead of touch controls, which become useless when you're sweaty or it's raining.

Agreed, I love mine. They have physical buttons instead of "touch" buttons - so important.

Agreed 100%. Bone conduction headphones give me a headache and I like having the option of being able to wear only one earbud if I want to. These are the best running headphones I've had. The hear-through mode works pretty well, and I LOVE that they have physical buttons instead of the stupid touch controls that seem to be standard these days (which are next to useless if it's raining etc.)

Jabra elite active 4 fits the best for me and ANC is good too

Been using Jabra Active Elite 4 for a year with glasses and they work great. Comfortable to wear and stays put. Personally I didn't like the hear through feature due to wind noise but I listen to it low enough that I can hear cars coming from behind. Great battery life.

Ok, i got them and tested them in-field. here is what i found out: So these are the ONLY earbud recommendations that literally CLICKED ALL THE BOXES i was looking for. they have ANC they have a clickable button that i can mush with my shoulder they are affordable, at a retail price of 35 bucks. then, they have extras that I also like \- they are sold on amazon, so easy returns \- they have great sound \- they have an app \- you can customize the button controls in app. \- you can control equalizer in app. so, out of all the ones that i found, your recommendation was the only one to literally click ALL the boxes. but for my specific case scenario, both the [**Sony WF-C700N**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BYPFNW6T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) and [**Jabra Elite 4**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BTZKP1TP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) meet my requirements a lot better. the reason is that both of these have ALL the features of the Soundcore, with the only exception being the price. both of these retail close to 70 bucks. but i have purchased multiple of these units used for 35 bucks. so used, they do meet my price range. but on top of that, these have a wayyy better sound quality (the quality on the soundcores is really good, but these are really, really good) then both of these offer a lot punchier base, but most importantly, both of these have a way stronger Active noise cancellation. If i didnt mess with used headphones, the soundcore would be the best choice for me. but since i dont mind buying used headphones, and dealing with the ocassional dud, and the annoying return process. but thanks for your recommendation, you were the only recommendation to literally check all boxes.

I use Jabra Elite Active 4s. They stay in through spins and drops although they will pop out if you actually hit your head with the silks.

Just tried my linkbud s ones again,anc is rubbish,my old jabra elite 4 active are better,now prefer half ear ones like soundpeats air, everyone is different that's why we have so many to choose from 😀

I use Jabra elite 4s and 7s, both work great, great sound, great noise cancelling.

Jabra Elite 4. Reasonably priced and if in a busy area I just wear one.

I use Jabra Elite 4 and I love them.

Same here, originally had the Elite 6’s which died after the batteries seem to deteriorate rapidly. Bought the Elite 4’s to replace them, got a great black Friday deal on Amazon, they’ve been faultless for the past year or so. I use them for all sorts - running, gym, watching TV, hands free for phone and Teams calls. Highly recommend.

Jabra elite 4. Connects to multiple devices seamlessly.

I have not had a reason to use the microphone on my SD so I'm not sure.

Check out the Jabra Elite 4’s. I enjoy them but I suggest trying before you buy because different earphones fit people differently. For example, AirPods never fall out for me but they do for some people.

I love my Jabra elite 4s, check replacement for when I lost an earbud at Disney of my last ones. The elite 4 fit great, work well for walking/jogging, lifting, and daily driving. Great price for what you get imo.

I have a pair of Jabra Elite 4 from 3 years ago that is hands down the best ANC I've tried so far. But they are getting old, Jabra exited the earbud market so support is scarce (they don't seem to be recognized by their app anymore.) so I'm looking for replacements. I tried the Sony WF-XM5s and Sony WF-C710N and despite both being well reviewd I personally found the audio profile in both to not be to my liking and the ANC to be weak enough to not even really be useful. Honestly it's kind of insane to me how well reviewed the XM5s because for the money they weren't worth it IMO. I've liked JLab stuff in the past so I tried JLab JBuds Pods ANC & JLab Epic Lab Edition and while I found the audio in both to be to my taste the ANC in the JBuds wasn't very good and the Epic Lab was better but still not as good as the 3 year old Jabra. I tried the Creative Aurvana Ace 2 based on Soundguys review and while the audio was good and the ANC was ok they arrived defective and started All 5 pairs I've tried also had a case that was awkward to get the earbuds out of them. I use an Android phone so I have no desire for Apple Airpods. What other options are there out there with good ANC?

Jawbra elite v4s. I have weird shaped ear holes and they are the only ones I have found that fit me.

I just bought a pair of Jabra Elite 4’s on Amazon 3 months ago. Reason I chose them over the 8’s is because I wanted physical buttons instead of touch sensitive controls. I’m a very heavy sweater and have had ZERO issues. Everything else I’ve used a variety of brands and types and the sweat has killed them all. Helps that they are cheap too I also own a pair of Shokz and they also check the boxes when it comes to being sweat proof and durable. Mostly use these for easy runs and long runs. The Jabra’s are for treadmill, gym, high intensity intervals, or anywhere I sweat heavy and don’t want to deal with ambient noise. Good luck!

This is what I use as well, I’m super happy with them.

I have Jabra elite 4 and while they do connect to my steam deck, the microphone functionality does not work… I can only hear things from my steam deck on them. Are you able to use the microphone on your jabra elite 4 when using the steam deck? When I go to the audio options screen, it only shows them as an output device, but not as an input device.

I think I have the 4s and the batteries are starting to go, which makes me even sadder that Jabra isn't making more of the Elites. I love mine! I have little ears, so its hard to find earbuds that fit and don't hurt and sound great.

The 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

Yeah also fan of the Jabra Active, I’m using for but wanna upgrade to 8.

Jabra active have been really good for me.

I have had a pair of Jabra active earbuds for almost 6 years and going strong. I commute 9 miles on my bicycle each day in the Florida and they are going strong. 

I sweat profusely and killed every set of “water resistant” earbuds I got until my wife (then girlfriend) purchased me a set of jabra active 2. They have worked for nearly 3 years now with no issues or discomfort.

The best and most reliable earphones I have are the JLAB GO POP+. I've used them in extreme cold and heat, they've gone through the washer and dryer, and the charge lasts forever. They cost $25 and sound better than almost every more expensive pair I've owned. Runner up would be Jabra Elite Active series for me, but I've killed too many of them with sweat and they cost like 4x the price. To be fair, they always replace them under warranty, but it'd be cool if they didn't break instead. We need to stop pretending Shokz sound anything remotely adjacent to "good." They do not. They serve a purpose, and if that purpose serves you, great, but they do not sound objectively "good" in any sense of the concept as it relates to listening music in the real world. IOW, if you bought any other product to listen to while not running and it sounded like Shokz, you'd assume it was broken.

Jabra elite active series 

Missed this comment before I mentioned the same ☝️☝️. Jabra is discontinuing them for God knows why because they are great 

Jabra elite actives are awesome!

Been with various Jabra Elite Active for years. The best. So disappointed they are stopping production.

I 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!

Jabra 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 :(

I 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.

I 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..

Sadly jabra killed the elite active line. They're so good!

This is the answer. If you can get 75ts on ebay go for them! Miss mine so much after four years of heavy use (and were bought second hand anyway) they finally stopped holding a charge.

Jabra elite active. They have noise canceling and hear through.

Any elite active versions from Jabra are solid. The OnePlus buds 3 are also solid with ip55

Jabra Elite active is what I use occasionally. They have "hear through mode" that allows me to hear outside noise while I am riding. I haven't had anyone mention background noise when talking on them. My issue with talking and riding is being out of breath and trying to talk at the same time 🤣

jabra elite actives have always stayed in my ears when hitting a bag, shadowboxing, running, ect. Personally never have had them fall out when exercising.

Absolutely agree! I don’t even have problems doing double unders with them

Jabra earbuds (Active version) are the best for running and other outdoor workouts. I have been using Jabras for over 5 years now. Before that I had struggled with many different brands.

I love the Jabra elite actives, but sadly they were discontinued

I try to avoid the speakers, you will put them too loud and damage your hearing. I was very happy with my Jabra elites, but lost them all. Replaced by anker soundcore buds.

I’ve been using some jabra elite noise canceling earbuds when I ride for the last few years. They sound great and block a lot of wind noise. I lost one today. Now I’m not sure what to do. I can buy a replacement bud, a new set of earbuds, or switch to a helmet speaker and wear ear plugs. Looking for input from people who’ve used both earbuds and a speaker/plugs combo.

I had the Ip7 and as a truck driver they had about a 3hr battery life after 1 year they had some troubles connecting once in a while or one wouldn't turn on the driver. 2yrs in and the batter life was down to about 2 hrs on a full charge. Year 3 they died before we got there the left one stopped being loud and wouldn't match the volume of the right one just after the 2nd year mark. So longevity wise they were not the ticket. This all said I can't find head phones that would match the sound quality I got from them. The senheisser true wireless 1 and 2 were good but not better, Jabra elite 7 are ok but still not better? Beat studio buds plus I find to be very very underwhelming and would take the Jabra over them. Looking into the sonys or the bang and olfsen ones not sure what to do either. I use headphones for up to 12 hrs a day so I am hard on them and have killed multiple different ones.

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.

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

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.

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.

Not at all, it's better to buy jabra elite Cheaper and more comfortable

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 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.

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.

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.

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
