"Love it for running (snug)"
"I have been using my jabra elites for years and have had zero slipping"
"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."

"They have a new feature that solves the wind issue. ... if I'm on the phone walking my dog and it's windy, it automatically adjusts the hear through microphones When it gets windy."
"block a lot of wind noise."
"I'm currently using Jabra Elites that are honestly great ... earbuds allow just enough noise I can hear other people talking to me and hear the hum of my machines but still reduce my overall noise load. ... I use them daily around 100-115dB worth of noise."

"The ANC is worse. ... When I use it, often even in fairly quiet environments, I get this sound like wind noise or crackling that I can hear over what I'm listening to. ... I did all this and still heard the weird cracking noise with ANC. ... I think I'm going to return them and go with something else."
"using them while running a stump grinder made crazy loud and annoying feedback the whole time."
"Even after trying the different ear fittings, I cannot get a good seal inside the ear like I did the the 75T. ... A lot of noise makes it through the Elite 5."

I used to have the 75s and now I have the elite 5s. They have a new feature that solves the wind issue. I don't use them for running, but if I'm on the phone walking my dog and it's windy, it automatically adjusts the hear through microphones When it gets windy. Id imagine any of the new jabras will have the same feature
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->Thank you OP, I’m in the market for new earbuds since the connection pins on my Jarba Elite 5’s charging case and earbuds are starting to fail. After scanning what seems like hundreds of posts, this makes the information and opinions of people so much easier to digest.
r/Earbuds • I analyzed 1 year of wireless earbuds recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024–2025). These are the top 25 ones. ->I like my Jabra Elite 5 earbuds for audiobooks, they’re very comfortable, have hear-through, and have the ability to equalize the sound for spoken word in the app.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->For the last several years I was using the Elite 75T buds and loved them. Only reason I stopped using them is because the battery no longer lasts very long. I just got the Elite 5 and thought they would be an upgrade but I feel like I downgraded. 1) The ANC is worse. When I use it, often even in fairly quiet environments, I get this sound like wind noise or crackling that I can hear over what I'm listening to. I can't find any setting that gets rid of it. If anyone has found a fix to this I'd appreciate it. The ANC on the Elite 75t worked *very* well. Never had any type of issues weird sound artifacts. I can't understand how the next generation buds would have worse ANC than one I bought several years ago. I thought technology is supposed to improve with time. 2) Even after trying the different ear fittings, I cannot get a good seal inside the ear like I did the the 75T. A lot of noise makes it through the Elite 5. 3) I guess they were going for a more balanced sound profile, but I miss the punchy bass of the 75T. I've been able to somewhat compensate using both the Jabra apps equalizer in tandem with Samsung's equalizer and turning the bass up on both for extra kick. I could live with it if it weren't for the other 2 issues above.
r/Jabra • Disappointed with Jabra Elite 5 buds ->Late but its just a rebranded jabra elite 5 earbud, they both identical… doesnt matter if its ps or xbox, only reason you see ppl with more issues on ps is they get sold more, ALOT more… i have zero issues with the ps version for example and they loud as fk, have to turn volume down on them.
r/steelseries • Got my Arctis Gamebuds yesterday. They have made a fantastic first impression and could very well be my favorite gaming headset. ->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.
r/motorcyclegear • Noise canceling earbuds vs Bluetooth in helmet speaker???? ->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.
r/motorcyclegear • Noise canceling earbuds vs Bluetooth in helmet speaker???? ->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 ->I have the Jabra Elite with ANC and find it’s decent. Not complete noise cancellation but good enough.
r/newzealand • Best brand of ear buds? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
