"Have run 3 half's and 2 fulls, never have ran out of battery provided they are properly charged beforehand."
"Battery life is something that I have to point out. ... Been using it on a daily basis for one full week (daily about 1 to 1.5 hours usage) and I still have my case at about 70% and both the earpiece at 100%!"
"I’ve never had them die so far during long runs."

"fantastic isolation"
"I can get 8 hours with ANC only"
"The active noise cancelling is nice as well, but sometimes the higher frequencies will sneak through. For example, taking a collar off of the bar very quickly."

"poor codec support is a dealbreaker if you have Android ... They sound like garbage with the older codecs. ... For example the Jabra Elite 8 Active supports SBC codec on Android phones, and it sounds like absolute dog trash. ... Sounds like listening to a 64-128 MP3 you downloaded on limewire 15 years ago."
"The pass thru is also just bad and garbled in general, even when sitting and listening. It amplifies weird sounds and doesn ’t amplify enough other sounds. Totally terrible"
"My one gripe is it doesn't seem as loud as my old ones.. I have Poweramp paid EQ and it still doesn't seem as loud"

"the wind noise is terrible."
"wind noise is real though.."

"I've killed too many of them with sweat ... it'd be cool if they didn't break instead."
"reliability was always pretty bad ... they wouldn't last more than 12-18 months at ost."
"holy hell what a POS compared to the 75t."
