I use the these, I’ll buy whatever model is new. I buy them often because they are cheap and they break so much.

I use Pixel Buds Pro 2 in the gym for the noise cancelling and use Jabra Elite Active 8 for running because they come lose

I got the jabra elite 8 active recently and they're amazing. They're like 220 bucks, but you can wait till Black friday for a discount

The elite active 8 were my best ever. But both pairs I owned had a defect that showed up after about 2 years. And they are no longer made anymore so they can’t be replaced under warranty sadly. But their ANC was brilliant

r/Jabra • Anybody found a decent replacement for the Elite 10 earbuds? →

No. Jabra really dropped the two greatest earbuds of all time in the 10s and the 8 actives, then peaced out. I would say keep buying 10s off eBay but they’re going for higher than retail because the market knows they can’t be matched 😓

r/Jabra • My dear 5yr old Elite Active 75t earbuds are dying... Now what? →

Dead serious, buy some lightly used Elite 8 actives on eBay. Or gen 2 if you can find it but gen 2 is often going for more than they retailed for. because the market knows they’ll never be topped. Jabra casually dropped the 2 best earbud models of all time then left the whole industry.
