Jabra - Elite 65e

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

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/

Damn that sucks my 75's are great, got them free under warranty at JB when my 65s died

Oh no!! Yeah my Jabra Elites have been so good for about 7 years. Was thinking of upgrading soon but this is a spanner

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!

Not the Shokz ones, that's for sure. I actually \*like\* music. (Just lolz!) Kidding aside, I'm wildly fussy when it comes to earbuds. I've had some more expensive ones like Jabra Elites and others, but they always fail within a year, and I have truthfully never found anything better sounding and longer lasting through daily sweat, snow, and accidental washing/drying than the lowly $25 JLAB GO POP+. YMMV of course. I OTOH will die on this hill.

I have also been thinking this, I'd say get anything that works. Closed Backs with ANC are probably your friend here. Also Bose is quite expensive....I have used Jabra Elites pretty good.

I just learned that Jabra discontinued their consumer lines. It sucks. My old Elite's batteries are starting to be really weak and I wanted to upgrade with new ones 😫

Jabra elites are incredible. On my second pair and they've lasted at least 2 years now.

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.
