"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."

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
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.
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.
Jabra Elite 4 / 5 Excellent transparency (and overall call quality)
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.
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.
+1 to this. I just recently got Shokz Openfit 2 because I prefer individual earbuds to the headband style. They’re great for anything trail related (hiking, biking, running) and for races, because I can still hear. I also find I use them while cooking a lot, again because I can still hear whether something is boiling/sauteeing too hard or whatever. But I found I still need to go back to my older pair of Jabra Elites with noise canceling for other uses, like running on the road or grocery shopping, where I really prefer to block out noise. At some point I’ll probably replace the Jabras with Beats or AirPods or something, but they’re still hanging on for now.
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 have the Jabra Elite with ANC and find it’s decent. Not complete noise cancellation but good enough.
