"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."

"I chose my headphones based on battery life. ... Once I had a marathon go wrong and my headphones died at 3.5 hours and I limped to a 5 hour walking finish. Damn, even a touch of music might have helped the struggle."

"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 prefer the Jabras on my weekday short runs that end up being along streets with traffic because the noise from the cars drowns out the music with Shokz."

"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."

"the battery life is now poor."
I got some Elite 65e in 2019 and was happy with them up until this year. The rubber has broken and is not a replaceable part from jabra and the battery life is now poor. I got 5 good years out of them which is fair considering the price. Due to the fact their newer products seem to be less reliable (in my perception, at least) I will try a different manufacturer for my next earphones
r/Jabra • Quality of Jabra headphones ->I'm still rocking some Jabra 65s that just won't die (probably around 7 years old at this point, used nearly daily). The Jabra aren't good at blocking outside noise so I researched earbuds actually made with construction/industrial environments in mind. Elgin makes ANSI rated Bluetooth ear buds that are probably next in line when the Jabra's die. These are ANSI rated for 25db noise reduction and are IP65 rated for dust and water intrusion. https://elginusa.com/products/elgin-rebel-true-wireless-earplug-earbuds https://www.onlogic.com/blog/what-does-ip65-mean/
r/Construction • Earbuds ->Damn that sucks my 75's are great, got them free under warranty at JB when my 65s died
r/AussieFrugal • Wireless 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 ->Oh no!! Yeah my Jabra Elites have been so good for about 7 years. Was thinking of upgrading soon but this is a spanner
r/trailrunning • Running headphones ->Jabra Elite here as well. I do about 1K miles/year, nearly all urban streets and nearly all with sound canceling (it’s never good enough to block all noise). Especially with electric cars, it’s about eyes and defensive running period. Ears are important, sure. But in the quiet electric era (or in cities with scooters and bikes cultures), I find myself looking way more than listening. I’ve been dense urban area running for 15+ years (think NYC and the like), and the change is real. I know the consensus is anti-sound canceling or anti-earbud and even anti-music. But I’ve run a ridiculous amount of miles over the years and music is a big part is my running. But to be fair, I chose my headphones based on battery life. Once I had a marathon go wrong and my headphones died at 3.5 hours and I limped to a 5 hour walking finish. Damn, even a touch of music might have helped the struggle. Best of luck!
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->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 ->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? ->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) ->Probably gonna get flamed by the shoks gang but I really dont get the hype… I have been using my jabra elites for years and have had zero slipping or issues hearing my surroundings. Plus bone conduction sounds like booty cheeks. Unless my earbuds are cranked or in noise cancelling mode I can hear everything just fine. Idk thats just my opinion tho
