"the wind noise is terrible."
"The pass thru audio is absolutely garbage, all you can hear is WHHRRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRPPSSHSHSBSHSHSHSHHSHSHSHBS from the wind noise, it ’s like driving 80mph with the windows down."
"Definitely get the wind noise when using hearthrough. ... When I turned on wind noise reduction, the wind noise was cut in half. I would compare it to the low rumble when you're on a plane, but not nearly as loud. ... I switched back and forth a few times and without the wind noise reduction turned on, it sounded more like a wind tunnel."

"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 wind noise is terrible."
"using them while running a stump grinder made crazy loud and annoying feedback the whole time."
"They do block a lot of noise even when the ANC is off, so if you need to be able to hear cars and you didn't like the hearthrough from Jabra, you may want to keep looking."
