"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 7 Elite were also great ... My ears are a little over 4cm from top to bottom and I find they are more comfortable than pretty much every other earbud I've owned."
"I have small ears and the Elite 7's smallest size fit my ears perfectly. ... I could move any with confidence that they wouldn't fall out."

"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."

[Jabra Elite 7 Actives](https://www.jabra.com/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-elite-7-active). I've had a few different Jabras and they've all been great. The ANC is incredible. Good quality sound. And great battery life. And they have muti-point connection. But just 2 devices. If there are 3 devices that are all paired with the buds, they get a bit confused!
r/kettlebell • Do it all earbuds which can stay in doing KB workouts ->JABRA ACTIVE ELITE PRO 7 and above versions they have great sound and very comfy to wear all day And the have physical buttons which work perfectly
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds to 350$ ->This is the correct answer. Have tried almost everything. This is the best.
r/trailrunning • What are the best wireless earbuds ? ->I 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.
r/onebag • What earbuds/headphones do you use? ->Following 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.
r/Jabra • Best earbuds similar to Elite 8 active ->Jabra elite 7 active or sony link buds, both great mics and all rounder daily use.
r/Earbuds • My earbuds are dying on me, what brands are good currently? Looking for a recommendation ->Jabra are a good reliable brand, with decent sound & connectivity. I'm on my 2nd Pair in 5 years- i currently use the Jabra Elite active 7. About £100 but worth it. Ive tried more expensive including Airpods and these are better
r/Earbuds • What are Best In Earbuds Wireless? Recommendation? ->AirPods never worked for me. They fall out and don’t filter out the noise. I use Jabra Elite 7 Active and they fits perfectly.
r/workout • Best headphones for working out? ->I have a pair of the pixel buds 2, and while they're good, my Jabra Elite 7 Active has better ANC. Oddly enough, they fit better for me too.
r/pixel_phones • What is the best noise cancelling earbuds? ->I have had a few sets and so far so good, i had a set of elite 4 actives which i bought because of the waterproof rating, i wear them literally to go to the sauna where i sit for hours, then have a shower with them in then go into the plunge pool (all the way under) then back into the sauna. i do this daily for about an hour or 2 they lasted about 9 months of that which i thought was pretty impressive honestly, most other earbuds die pretty fast in those environments. they technically still work but they have started getting a little funky in the software department. I have a pair of elite 7 active which i use as sleep buds because theyre low profile and again, no issues, sometimes the process of updating is a little weird but like, it does it... eventually, By comparison i got a pair of XM4's and they had something wrong with the speaker that made it sound like there was a ringing whenever i moved my head, coughed etc. Sony gave me the run around on those even though its a well documented issue I have also just sent back a pair of Momentum TW3 because one earbud just like, died, wont charge any more, those also had a really dicky case where if the buds got just a little bit of ear crud on them they wouldnt charge - again a well known and documented issue, all you had to do was clean the buds and theyd work again but like, i shouldnt have to play roulette once every 2 - 3 weeks on whether my buds will work. Last pair ill comment on is Momentum TW2's, they were pretty good and i still use them but when i work out in them, sometimes one ear will like, lose power, not totally, its still playing but theres no bass, the volume is low, then randomly 2 - 3 mins later they go normal again then they die again and repeat... it was really weird. TLDR: Jabra have been good to me in the 3 pairs i have owned, by comparison every time i spend 400 - 500 on a pair of buds (AUD) they have been pretty fuckin trash..
r/Jabra • Quality of Jabra headphones ->Jabra Elite 7 Active and Jabra 75t. I’m not sure if they’re the same but I swear by these. I’ll never leave Jabra. My 7’s have lasted about 5 years now and I used them for work/working out. My 75t’s were the same but I lost them after a couple years.
r/Earbuds • How long have you owned your current earbuds and would you recommend them to everyone? ->So my elite 10 right earbud doesn't charge anymore (same happened with my elite 7 sport) and decided to go on a small shopping spree to find a replacement. Ordered the Sennheiser Momentum 4 , Sony 1000mx5 and the Beyerdynamic Amiron 300. I like a solid bass and comfort cause I wear them 4 to 6 hours a day. In terms of sound quality, the sennheiser wins followed by the Beyers. They both lack a deep bass though and their ANC was disappointing. The Sony has a great bass and awesome ANC, BUT mid and high tones are not as sexy in comparison. The fit of the Sony is also a point of concern... I've to order third party tips to get them to fit properly I think... All in all, I am still on the market... Does anyone have a recommendation? I dont want to spend more than €300.
r/Jabra • Best brand to replace Jabra? ->I was searching similarly here were my considerations : Shokz- open ear bone conduction- however the cheaper ones are proprietary charger. Only the top end is USB C. Can consider if it doesn't bother you Edit: I searched their website and they having promotion now :) Anything from creative is affordable but for me they usually only last up to a year then something goes wrong. Great on a budget though for $100 I think you can get other better bands . I also used Outlier but spoilt easily I used Jabra Active 7 and 8, loved them cos they fit me well but now discontinued :( For all true wireless in-ear earbuds, I don't believe in suggesting any particular brand because all our ears are different. I would say swing by Stereo at Plaza Sing. They recommend and allow you to try different earbuds so you can find that perfect fit. Their pricing is acceptable, can compare with Shopee official brand stores. The salesperson straight up asked me what my budget was before anything. I bought my current earphones there quite satisfied
r/askSingapore • Earbuds recommendation for runnings? ->Curious, with ANC on do you still hear a low rumble and your heart beat? I returned the elite 7 active because the occlusion effect was so strong!
r/Earbuds • The best noise cancelling earbuds Right Now? Recommendations? ->My 7s are dying more and more every day. I’m lucky to get 2.5 hours of listening time with them now.
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->You have some great options in this price range such as the Sony wf-c700n, soundcore liberty air 2 pro, OnePlus buds pro 2, and even the jabra elite 7 active! All of those options fit your criteria!
r/Earbuds • Looking for ANC Wireless Earbuds, Budget 140usd below ->Personally I would choose the jabra elite 7 actives
r/Earbuds • Looking for ANC Wireless Earbuds, Budget 140usd below ->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. So yeah, can confirm, Jabra Active are great. 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.
r/ultrarunning • Good earbuds for Trail Running? ->I just got a pair of Soundcore Sport X20 and battery life is not that great on ANC, but without ANC I get around 6-7 hours, a far cry from the declared 12, but still not bad. Though I don't find ANC on these particularly useful. The charging case lets you charge them around 3.5 times. But 5 minutes in the case actually does give you 2 hours of play time, something the manufacturer did not lie about. For the price of $65 I can recommend them, this is early impressions. Different form factor though and because of that the case is also large. Jabra was something else though. Their batteries may have degraded fast but otherwise you could tell that the quality was there. My Elite 7 Active degraded really fast into a complete battery failure right after the warranty period ended :(
r/Earbuds • Earbuds with Better battery Life than Jabra Elite 10?? ->I bought 2 different sets of the Jabra Elite 7 active's and I could never get the left earbud to work or the set to update either. Customer service was useless via phone call and email. I gave up on the brand and just bought the JBL Live Beam 3's and they work great out of the box and are more comfortable than the Jabra.
r/Jabra • Can anyone recommend good (non-Jabra) wireless earbuds? ->Jabra Elite Active has been rated as a top-tier (easily my favorite) and seems to be missing from this list.
r/Earbuds • Ranking the best earbuds at every budget ($50-$200) ->I haven't used the Elite (non-active)'s, but generally heard worse reviews for them. I have had Elite Active 7 for years and I have listened to thousands of hours on them
r/Earbuds • Ranking the best earbuds at every budget ($50-$200) ->Buds 3 Pro, got them right after a delay. They are great; features like voice recognition—when you say something, they turn down the volume. Sound quality amazing, bit better than my Jabra active 7.
r/S24Ultra • What wireless earbuds are you guys using? ->This is sad news. Love my jabra elite 7 active. Unfortunately, it decided to die on me recently. Am looking for a replacement. What will be a good replacement?
r/Jabra • Jabra to EXIT consumer space in 2024 (No more Elite wireless earbuds and headphones) ->My right earbud’s cover came off. The earbud works, but its morality is starting to become clear. How do I deal with this situation? Super glue? Anyone else dealt with this? On the same subject, I would like the communities opinion on a new pair of earbuds that I could upgrade to. Jabra has discontinued its earbuds (heartbreaking) and I want to know which brand/model is recommended for someone who absolutely loves these Jabra Elite 7 actives like myself. Few other things: -The elite 8 active gen 2 is not an option (can’t find them anywhere) -The elite 10 is not an option (I don’t like the fit) Please help me find a bass-heavy workout friendly and accessible bud that can take the torch for these Jabra Active elite 7s when their time eventually comes!!
r/Jabra • Calling all Jabra wireless earbud lovers - please help me fix my Jabra Elite 7 active or help me find a new earbud ->Jabra Elite Active 8, got them as a substitute for 7, the 7 were great, 8 is even better
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->Been using the Jabra Elite 7 Active for 2 years now and they've been great. Stays in my ears and have never had an issue. I've tried various Soundcore and JBL ones that malfunction after a while.
r/Marathon_Training • What's the best headphone for running widely loved currently? ->Jabra Elite 7 active, very comfy. Never had any connection issues other than the usual Garmin not auto detecting them when turned on. I just have to go to Bluetooth devices on the watch and tap connect. After that, no issues
r/GarminWatches • Confirmed working earbuds for Forerunner 965 that won't stutter/buffer? ->I don’t have experience with the QC Ultras, but if you’re looking for an alternative, I’ve used Jabras Elite 7 Active. I don’t know how they managed to get them to stay put in your ears without any ear fangs or stability bands, but they won’t fall out if you get the right size of ear tips. I used to go basketball shooting with them and they never moved out of place. Only problem with these is comfort, I would get tired of wearing them after an hour because they go pretty deep inside of your ear canal. Probably they fixed that issue with the Elite 8 Actives Gen 2
r/bose • QuietComfort Ultra earbuds for sports? ->I have the Elite 10, Elite 8 Active, Elite 8 Active Gen 2, and Elite 7 Active. No issues with any of them. Defective products happen.
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds are you using or which do you believe is the best and why? ->I use Jabra elite active 7 in one ear. Just make sure "active-listening" or whatever their hear-through thing is disabled because that will always only blast wind noise into your ear. They're effectively water-proof and sweat-proof, they sound great, and the controls work just fine no matter how sweaty your hands get and they also work with gloves on.
r/cycling • What earbuds to get? ->The elite 7 actives
r/trailrunning • What are the best wireless earbuds ? ->I've had that on the Jabra Elite 7 Active's and Elite 8 Active Gen 2's *but* only when ANC is turned on and no audio is playing, which is a pretty rare occurrence. Who just sits there with no audio playing? They're not earplugs... Anytime any audio is played at any volume level, there's no way I hear that sound at all (which is a faint static sound for me)
r/Earbuds • I analyzed the 25 most recommended wireless earbuds on reddit ->Upvoted. Loved the Jabra Elite Active series. I have the 6 and 7’s still working thankfully but I love long runs. I also happened to live in a country that loves rain and wind 😆! Looking for a new alternative that’s, sporty, hardy, tough and still sounds great
r/Jabra • Best earbuds similar to Elite 8 active ->Jabra Elite 7 Active here as well and the Jabra Elite active 75t before that. Both were quite amazing for the price. Although the 75t earbuds died on me after 2 years, they started working again after a month or two.
r/onebag • What earbuds/headphones do you use? ->Jabras are good! I have the Elite 7 Active. Besides my Elite 7 Active’s mic, they’ve been really solid for me these past 4 years.
r/onebag • What earbuds/headphones do you use? ->I have small ears and the Elite 7's smallest size fit my ears perfectly. I could move any with confidence that they wouldn't fall out. The Elite 10 is a touch big for me so I don't have the same confidence but they fit none the less, I would just prefer a tighter fit
r/Jabra • Jabra Elite 10 for small ears? ->I have tiny ears. Nothing Ear 2024 are much more comfortable than Samsung's pro 2 buds, Jabra 7 Elite were also great, but I lost them within 4 months.
r/adhdwomen • Earbuds with noise cancelling for small ears? ->I had a pair of Jabra Elite 7s. They slowly degraded over time, battery, sound. For a pair of Pixel Buds Pro 2 and love them. Comfortable and sound great.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I use Jabra elite 4s and 7s, both work great, great sound, great noise cancelling.
r/nycrail • Serious question- what earphones do you use while riding on trains? ->I am happy with some of the Jabra earbuds. Both Elite Active 75t, Elite 7 and Elite 10 have good sound and fit that for me is superior to e g AirPods Pro.
r/headphones • Headphones that can handle intensive workouts and sweat ->It is all about fit. But the elite Jabras, Sennheiser momentum true wireless and ofc AirPods Pro2 are good.
r/headphones • Headphones that can handle intensive workouts and sweat ->I can vouch for this. Had Jabra Elite 7 and 10s and now use the FreeBuds Pro 4 for earbuds, mainly for calls. I also have the Bose Quiet comfort and Sony WH-1000XM5 over the ear headphones. Call quality with FreeBuds Pro 4 is by far the best and essentially the same as using my phone directly. Highly recommend these if call quality is your main concern.
r/Earbuds • Which one has the best microphone for call? I don't listen to music much ->TLDR get a Bose or Sony Earbuds. If you have the budget get custom fit earbuds. I can tell you what not to buy. Don’t buy Jabra. Had the Elite 75T and an android phone which was perfect but…… 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. Sound quality is good, noise cancellation is poor. Have tried the now discontinued Sony-1000XM4 before buying Elite 7, sound quality was just a tad worse than the Elite 7 but noise cancellation was much much better. Choose the Elite 7 purely due to sound quality but regretted it. Had a pair of the Bose QuietComfort 15 headphone back in early 2010s. That one had fantastic noise cancellation too and good sound (I know Bose is abit controversial regarding sound quality) but the price back then $500-$600+ is exorbitant. Still have a pair of Sony WH-1000XM5s, great sound, NC and battery life just like the old Bose QC15 but it’s wireless. But headphones are a bad choice for Singapore weather as you already know. I use it a lot when flying but the size of it does get to me. Connection wise with Apple it’s good, much better than the Jabras. I’ve always been curious about the brand Shure’s earbuds. Their SE215 sounds great and isolates a lot of noise. But the bulk of their earbuds are cabled and loop over the ear which take some getting used to or be a flat out dealbreaker for you. They have really high end stuff that musicians wear to hear themselves sing/band playing at a concert so you know they’re the real deal. You can look into custom made IEMs which will provide the best isolation if your budget allows. As always; trust your own ears. Always try it out yourself before you buy. There’s Jaben at The Adelphi (City Hall), Zeppelin & Co (Sim Lim/Rochor), Stereo (Plaza Singapura). ConnectIT at Somerset treated me well too but I would say the first three shops carry a bigger product range and are more professional and respected in the audio game. I’ve also gone to TC Acoustic at Adelphi before for my Klipsch ear and headphones but they have seem to gone a lot more focused into home theatre audio (big speakers) now so maybe give them a miss. Focus your decision making first on the sound isolation and/or active noise cancellation and sound quality second. 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). Happy Shopping!
r/askSingapore • Best ANC earbud for the office and MRT? ->I'm almost done with my third year with my Jabra Elite 7 with pretty heavy daily use including workouts. Still work great, still hold a charge. Maybe not as much as before, but a solid few hours. Heavy rec.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for bluetooth earbuds that aren't gonna crap out a month outside of warranty ->I 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.
r/Jabra • Quality of Jabra headphones ->jabra 7 elite can turn it off. Not sure about later jabra models.
r/bose • QC Ultra Earbuds - Terrible wind noise - Cannot disable noise canceling? ->I had the Ip7 and as a truck driver they had about a 3hr battery life after 1 year they had some troubles connecting once in a while or one wouldn't turn on the driver. 2yrs in and the batter life was down to about 2 hrs on a full charge. Year 3 they died before we got there the left one stopped being loud and wouldn't match the volume of the right one just after the 2nd year mark. So longevity wise they were not the ticket. This all said I can't find head phones that would match the sound quality I got from them. The senheisser true wireless 1 and 2 were good but not better, Jabra elite 7 are ok but still not better? Beat studio buds plus I find to be very very underwhelming and would take the Jabra over them. Looking into the sonys or the bang and olfsen ones not sure what to do either. I use headphones for up to 12 hrs a day so I am hard on them and have killed multiple different ones.
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds to buy 2025 ->Jabra. I got my spouse the jabra 10s. They have spatial speakers and I couldn't believe how amazing they were over my jabra elite 7s. They apparently are not making any more versions which sucks
r/cycling • What earbuds to get? ->I presently have Jabra Elite 7. IMHO, they are the most comfortable earbuds I've worn. Sound quality is great on music, but decent on calls. I'm thinking about getting the Jabra Elite 8 Gen 2 as a replacement. Has all the same features of the 10 Gen 2, but better waterproofing and a few bucks less. I don't need the remote use from the case feature which the 10 Gen 2 has. Since Jabra is leaving the consumer electronics division, this is their last set. But they said that there will be continual updates. May be a disqualifier for some. I don't like Bose earbuds for some reason. I prefer their over the ear sets, which I have. The Sonys are very highly rated for their noise cancellation and other features. They were a bit uncomfortable on my ears. Never considered the Apple AirPods, because of the one color. If the buds had other colors like their AirPod Max, I could buy them. Just don't like the white tips sticking out of my ear. I know that Anker makes good cables and accessories, but some say that their buds are surprisingly good. Don't know how long they will last though, but a cheaper option for some. Never had Sennheiser earbuds, so I can't comment. Never knew that Technics made earbuds. I thought they limited themselves to higher end stuff.
r/Earbuds • The Best Earbuds to Buy Right Now? ->I've been using Jabra Elite 7 for 2,5 years. Mainly in the gym/running, etc. They are super great and pretty durable! Danish brand with good values, but I think they might be manufactured in china tho....
r/BuyFromEU • Cheap in-ear bluetooth headphones? ->I have the elite 7 and the default is anc. When I press the left bud it changes to hear through.
r/trailrunning • What are the best wireless earbuds ? ->Might be on the pricier side - Jabra Elite 7. The hear through isn't perfect, but even with music playing I can still hear enough of the environment around me.
r/C25K • What headphones is everyone using as a new runner? ->I’ll admit that I bought into the hype since I know that there were likely a lot of paid advertisers pushing the AZ100s but I’m not disappointed. I was previously using the Jabra elite 7s that I owned for 2 years. If you’re looking for a cheaper option for the gym these have great bass and sound quality with okay ANC. I switched because I just wanted something new and the call quality was dogshit. If you wanna splurge a little though, the AZ100s blows everything I’ve used in the past out the water, from sound quality, bass, ANC, and call quality. I highly recommend.
r/Earbuds • Your favorite gym ear buds? ->Jabra all the way I had the 7 elite, 7 pro and now the 8's and they all fit amazingly.
r/Earbuds • Which buds to buy with great fit ->I'm about to upgrade to the Jabra Elite 10. I've had the 7's for quite a few years (and I love them), and the batteries are starting to not last longer than a couple hours. Time for an upgrade.
r/Earbuds • I analyzed the 25 most recommended wireless earbuds on reddit ->The hear through kind of sucks when running though. Lot of wind noise and I personally still feel isolated from the outside world in a way that isn’t quite safe. Love my Jabra elites for the gym though
r/Marathon_Training • What is the most reliable brand of running headphones that sounds great and works the best for runners? Is Shockz right? ->The thump is with anything that sits in your ear canal. I love my Jabra elites for the gym because of good sound and noise cancelling but hate them for running. Gonna get some Shokz just for long runs because of it and also because even with hear through mode I feel cut off from my surroundings with ear buds
r/Marathon_Training • What is the most reliable brand of running headphones that sounds great and works the best for runners? Is Shockz right? ->Yeah also fan of the Jabra Active, I’m using for but wanna upgrade to 8.
r/Marathon_Training • Marathon-worthy wireless headphones? ->Jabra active have been really good for me.
r/kettlebell • Do it all earbuds which can stay in doing KB workouts ->I have had a pair of Jabra active earbuds for almost 6 years and going strong. I commute 9 miles on my bicycle each day in the Florida and they are going strong.
r/BuyItForLife • Noise canceling headphones and ear buds ->I sweat profusely and killed every set of “water resistant” earbuds I got until my wife (then girlfriend) purchased me a set of jabra active 2. They have worked for nearly 3 years now with no issues or discomfort.
r/ultrarunning • Sweat proof ear buds? ->The best and most reliable earphones I have are the JLAB GO POP+. I've used them in extreme cold and heat, they've gone through the washer and dryer, and the charge lasts forever. They cost $25 and sound better than almost every more expensive pair I've owned. Runner up would be Jabra Elite Active series for me, but I've killed too many of them with sweat and they cost like 4x the price. To be fair, they always replace them under warranty, but it'd be cool if they didn't break instead. We need to stop pretending Shokz sound anything remotely adjacent to "good." They do not. They serve a purpose, and if that purpose serves you, great, but they do not sound objectively "good" in any sense of the concept as it relates to listening music in the real world. IOW, if you bought any other product to listen to while not running and it sounded like Shokz, you'd assume it was broken.
r/Marathon_Training • What is the most reliable brand of running headphones that sounds great and works the best for runners? Is Shockz right? ->Missed this comment before I mentioned the same ☝️☝️. Jabra is discontinuing them for God knows why because they are great
r/ultrarunning • Sweat proof ear buds? ->Jabra elite actives are awesome!
r/trailrunning • Runner friends, headphones for running that you love? ->Been with various Jabra Elite Active for years. The best. So disappointed they are stopping production.
r/trailrunning • Runners, what are the best RUNNING headphones currently? ->I love my Jabra elite actives. Also if you like music with heavy bass these absolutely rip. Also 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. Highly recommend these!
r/trailrunning • What are the best wireless earbuds ? ->Jabra Elite Actives are just all round #1 by multiple running reviewers and I have had 3 versions of them over last few years...great sound...ANC...8 hours battery in use on the latest version...sweat resistant hold via the type of rubber on the buds. Water/sweat proof. Problem is they are discontinueing the line :(
r/running • What earbuds do you use while running? ->I had a pair of Jabra Elite Active’s, but one day I lost a bud while running.. After that I opted for the Soundcore X20’s. They work great for running.
r/trailrunning • What are the best wireless earbuds ? ->I struggle with the same. I have tried ear plugs under ANC headphones, but even the most blocking plugs (35 dB is the highest I have found here), and an expensive headphone, do not block all sound (not even my coworkers laughing and discussing). My best solution so far has been ANC earbuds under ANC headphones.. So double ANC.. I have Jabra Active Elite earbuds, and Sony quite-expensive-something headset. Even this do not give complete silence in the open office plan, but it's quite close to it. In-ear ANC plugs do a lot more for me than ANC over-the-ear headphones. The headphones alone hardly helps at all..
r/productivity • Best non-music noise cancelling headphones or earmuffs? ->Sadly jabra killed the elite active line. They're so good!
r/cycling • What earbuds to get? ->This is the answer. If you can get 75ts on ebay go for them! Miss mine so much after four years of heavy use (and were bought second hand anyway) they finally stopped holding a charge.
r/trailrunning • What are the best wireless earbuds ? ->Jabra elite active. They have noise canceling and hear through.
r/beginnerrunning • Which headphones do you use for RUNNING? ->Any elite active versions from Jabra are solid. The OnePlus buds 3 are also solid with ip55
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds for 60-70€? ->Jabra Elite active is what I use occasionally. They have "hear through mode" that allows me to hear outside noise while I am riding. I haven't had anyone mention background noise when talking on them. My issue with talking and riding is being out of breath and trying to talk at the same time 🤣
r/bikecommuting • Best Headset for Calls While Bike Commuting? ->jabra elite actives have always stayed in my ears when hitting a bag, shadowboxing, running, ect. Personally never have had them fall out when exercising.
r/martialarts • Earbuds that stay in my ears when working a heavy bag ->Absolutely agree! I don’t even have problems doing double unders with them
r/crossfit • Any headphones you would recommend? ->Agreed, I love mine. They have physical buttons instead of "touch" buttons - so important.
r/trailrunning • What are the best wireless earbuds ? ->Jabra earbuds (Active version) are the best for running and other outdoor workouts. I have been using Jabras for over 5 years now. Before that I had struggled with many different brands.
r/running • Headphones for glasses wearers ->I love the Jabra elite actives, but sadly they were discontinued
r/trailrunning • Runner friends, headphones for running that you love? ->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???? ->What about just best noise cancellation? Sound quality is good obviously but I find that ANC is probably my most important feature. I have a set of Jabras and One Plus 3. The Jabras seems to have better ANC. Can’t remember the exact Jabras I have but something something elite, they were like $130 a year and a half ago.
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds are you using or which do you believe is the best and why? ->By working out do you mean some weightlifting or more cardio stuff where you are actively moving around a lot? Or even Crossfit or something? Difference will be how much you need a pair that will need to really really stay put. My thing is more powerlifting, so its not a big deal for me I can wear pretty much any bud apart from on the bench and they wont move. So it expands choice a bit, but I do look for dust and water rating because weight lifting chalk. More movement I would say look at Jabra Elite
r/Earbuds • Best ear buds for working out ->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 ->1. Research this stuff online, compare and contrast your options 2. Google the exact model(s) you want/are interested in + Bangkok 3. Go to the store(s) that stock those model(s) I went with Jabra Elites
r/Bangkok • Which mall / electronic shop is best to browse for sports ear buds ->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) ->Jabra elite. Love it for running (snug) and ANC feature. Price point is reasonable.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Used to own Jabra elite but they are not in market anymore. Seinheiser MTW4 is good too
r/askSingapore • Looking for recommendation for good sound quality and anc wireless earbuds below 200SGD ->My experience was that they were great when they worked - but reliability was always pretty bad, and they wouldn't last more than 12-18 months at ost.
r/Jabra • Jabra to EXIT consumer space in 2024 (No more Elite wireless earbuds and headphones) ->100%, I've struggled with finding a balance for good music, ANC, and comfort. Air pods are the GOAT IMO. I've had probably 4 different pairs of JBLs that work great but don't last long. Either the dust gets to them or the case stops charging the buds even when clean. I'm currently using Jabra Elites that are honestly great, though I wish they stayed in my ears better when I'm in weird positions. Edit: adding that I do not care about industry standards, my job isn't OSHA involved and has no actual safety standards enforced.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Anyone tried these ear buds? ->Honestly, given how often I lose earbuds and the battery issues, I stopped buying earbuds for longevity. I decide upon a price range and go with a company I recognise. My best pair has been a Jabra Elite. Unfortunately it seems they got rid of buttons. I hate how every company just releases update after update, with lessening improvements and higher prices.
r/BuyItForLife • Need a reliable pair of earbuds that won't die on me. ->Not at all, it's better to buy jabra elite Cheaper and more comfortable
r/SonyHeadphones • Are the WF-1000XM5’s worth it?? ->Jabra is really good in a lot of ways but the poor codec support is a dealbreaker if you have Android. They sound like garbage with the older codecs. The ANC is also maybe 20% as good as the QC Ultra
r/Earbuds • The best noise cancelling earbuds Right Now? Recommendations? ->I think I want these earphones. I've heard Isotunes suck, and some of the well recieved OSHA compliant earphones are stupid expensive so $220 ain't bad. I used to use Jabra Elites which I really liked, but using them while running a stump grinder made crazy loud and annoying feedback the whole time. I read that these headphones are very good with their ANC but I just wanna know if I can run a circular saw while using these and how well they will work for my residential contracting work? Thank you!
r/bose • Anybody use the quitecomfort ultra ear buds for construction? ->I'm a huge fan of the Jabra Elite I got on Amazon for around $60, they were on sale to boot.
r/Earbuds • What do I buy???? Best earbuds in 2025?? ->Had airpods 2, today was my first training with airpods 4 anc. Everything sits in place. I don’t have pro version, because my ears don’t like that silicone thing. And i had jabra elite previously, and earbuds falled of during walking.
r/weightlifting • Any wireless earbuds recommendations? ->Agreed, you have to try several and pick a style that works for you. For me, the absolute best fit for my ears are the Samsung Buds Live, but they are the only ones that make that shape. 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.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds you can purchase on amazon under $150? ->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? ->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 ->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? ->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? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
