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

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

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 😓

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.

Jabra Elite 8 Active. Their ANC is the best I've tried so far, they're very durable. I sweat a lot when I run indoors and actually damaged a couple of Jabra 4's before because of how wet they got. The 8 so far is serving me very well. Small and snug as I don't like earbuds with stems or over-ear loops, and they stay intact in my ear unless I am doing many jump ropes or box jumps.

Jabra Elite 8 Active. Does the job, lasts for ages, never had issues with it slipping out. My ears are relatively small though
