"sweat resistant hold via the type of rubber on the buds. ... Water/sweat proof."
"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."
"they fits perfectly."

"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."
"Also their hearthrough option is really nice for trails. You hear the birds but can still listen to David Goggins screaming at you. Which is nice."
"They have "hear through mode" that allows me to hear outside noise while I am riding."

"I waheed these (well, technically Active 7) in my washing machine by accident. With the case. And I only had them for like 2 months. Was super pissed. ... Out of desperation I put everything in a huge bowl of rice overnight. Opened them up in the morning - worked flawlessly ever since. That's been over two years ago."
"Jabra elites are incredible. ... On my second pair and they've lasted at least 2 years now."
"My 7’s have lasted about 5 years now and I used them for work/working out."

"using them while running a stump grinder made crazy loud and annoying feedback the whole time."
"noise cancellation is poor. ... noise cancellation was much much better [on Sony-1000XM4]. ... There ’s no point in having good sound if the isolation is poor and all the ambient noise in coming in (looking at you Jabra)."
"Elite 7 Active didn't have good ANC to be honest"

"Changed to Elite 7 and iPhone+mac, it has been horrible since day 1. Random disconnections and poor performance when connected to more than one device. ... If you're an android user you'll be pretty happy with Jabra, I wouldn't recommend it for Apple users."
j4mrock 0.5I have Elite 10 and Gen 2. I have others too but I am always looking for places sellling Gen 2 to stock up if my current ones fail. I use my Gen 7s for work, mostly to spare the life of my Gen 10s. I have tried all manner of other headphones and nothing beats the Elites for my use cases.
Once again, I start a post on here stating that the Jabra Elite would be pair that ticked all those boxes, are waterproof and semi-open which means no occlusion (thumping) when running. The problem is that Jabra stopped making them and 3rd party sellers are hiking prices. A couple of questions: what do you use now and also what sort of workouts? For gym sessions and running the Jabra are excellent but for CrossFit then the more violent exercises like burpees or ski erg are likely to dislodge them. The Elite 10s have a very unique fit which meant they were much less likely to dislodge. If your exercise is towards the CrossFit end then it's hard to make a post-Jabra recommendation. For running and CrossFit, I use the PowerBeats Pro 2. For regular gym, track and day to day I was almost exclusively using the Elites. The PB2 aren't great for sound although the battery life is LONG and the case is HUGE which means a lot of battery life. The IPX rating is only IPX4 and that's buds only. However, they are currently £100 off in the UK for Black Friday. There is a new kid on the block in my earbud rotation and that is the JBL Tour Pro 3, and in relation to your list. * Comfortable fit that actually stays in during movement **Still testing these out but actually more stable than my Jabras** * Clear call quality for work and voice chats **Yes, fully tested on Teams calls. Highly rated by review sites.** * Good sound without being overly bass heavy **Subjective but yes, with excellent EQ and presets.** * Decent battery life with a case that charges quickly **8 hours buds (ANC) 33 hours (case)** * Sweat and water resistance for workouts **IP55** * Stable Bluetooth connection with no random cutouts So far, very stable multipoint phone/Watch The JBLs have an £80 Black Friday discount right now which I jumped on. I want to mention the case though, I thought this would be a gimmick but it's so useful that I think these are immediately my new go tos above the Jabra. I cannot rave enough about the case features, although it is chunky! Hope that helps!
251Cane 0.5Elite 7 Actives for me. Now that Jabra doesn’t make earbuds anyone I don’t know what I’ll do when the battery dies
arkansasdaverudabau 0.5This is the correct answer. Have tried almost everything. This is the best.
artbonvic 0.5I also had Elite 7 Active before, but one's earbud battery died in a year with something, and Jabra replaced them with "Elite 10"s for free even after Warranty period (1 year) has ended. Elite 7 Active didn't have good ANC to be honest, but they fitted my ears a bit better; overall, Elite 7 Actives are also very good.
bones915 0.5Following because my Elite 7 Active left earbud just got ran over by a car, and I'm trying to find a replacement. Might have to replace the whole set with something else.
Brilliant-Hand6132 0.5Jabra elite 7 active or sony link buds, both great mics and all rounder daily use.
Bry_Zal 0.5It used to be very easy. Jabra Elite Active 7. For literally any purpose. Now that they broke I have no idea what to replace them with since everything else feels inferior.
charlemagne_74 0.5For gym use, try looking into the Soundcore Sport X10 or the Jabra Elite 7 Active, both have secure fits and solid sweat resistance. The Jabra has better noise isolation, while the Soundcore usually hits harder on bass. If you want to check them out in real time, [Whatnot](https://whatnot.com/invite/dineritoreferido) has live audio gear streams where verified sellers test earbuds on camera and compare sound profiles before you buy. It’s great if you want to see fit and mic tests instead of relying only on reviews.
CuriousIllustrator11 0.5AirPods never worked for me. They fall out and don’t filter out the noise. I use Jabra Elite 7 Active and they fits perfectly.
cutegreenshyguy 0.5Went from the Elite 7 Active to the Pixel Buds Pro. Provided a similar set of on-bud controls, though I still prefer buttons over capacitive
