Jabra - Elite 85t

Jabra 85 elite has both wired and Bluetooth. Great range and battery life is wild. I like them a lot. Good to have a phone call on as well.

The QC ultra earbuds are my third set of active noise cancelling headphones, and the noise cancellation on them is \*stunningly\* good. Connectivity isn't a problem although sometimes the app doesn't seem to be aware when the phone is connected to them. Minor gripes: I don't like touch controls as much as the physical buttons I had on my Jabra 85T's -- but I am willing to forgive this since this allows for full control with only one earbud (my jabra earbuds didn't pair independently of each other) I also find the QC charging case to be a bit on the large side, and build quality isn't as good as my Jabra case was. Sound quality is excellent, and I enjoy immersive sound even though it's clearly a gimmick.

I had an issue with the Jabra Elite 75t active that stopped working. They had also stopped production of them, at the time. But they just sent me the Elite 85t. I don't remember having to pay anything extra.

If your ears fit Old but strong: Jabra 75t / Jabra 85t - ANC and sound best. Call quality is okay, transparency is okay. New: Anker Liberty 4 Pro - Call quality is best, transparency is best, update and app are strong too. ANC is poor and sound is good. Price is good for all. But the real deal is the fit, because the best earbuds are the product that fits well in your ears!

I’ve worn earbuds for multi-hour flights just fine. You’re not going to get the same noise cancelling as over the ear headphones. But I just turn on the “rain” playback on mine and relax. Personally, I love the fact that I can take my earbuds in my pocket when I head to the cafe etc. I almost always have them with me, which is something you can’t say about over the ear Headphones. I have found that different earbuds fit my ears differently, even for the same brands! **Before you write off earbuds you should make sure you have a good fit.** Fit is absolutely essential for long flights. One downside of the earbuds is that the FAs can’t see them. They’ll talk to you and you can’t hear them. Sometimes they’ll assume you’re asleep etc. I have Jabra 75t and Jabra 85t. The 75s fit me. Then I thought I lost them. So I bought the 85s. There was a huge difference in fit. I found the 75s again and am back to wearing them.

Jabra Elite 85t. I used to use the Sony WF-1000XM4 buds, but I had battery issues, did an RMA 2x within a year, and then they just refunded my money, so I went back to my Jabra. Sony sound quality was so much better, but after that experience, I gave up on them. I still love my Sony WH-1000XM4 over ear ones for work and flights

I prefer something with physical buttons so I can tap through the earpieces on my helmet. Jabra’s elite pro 85t are my fave. Tho they don’t sell them anymore…. So curious what others recommend.

Jabra 85t are a really good set of headphones and Bluetooth wireless. Make great sounding calls and they block all wind noise if you're on the phone outside or driving with the windows down

Jabra Elite 10 gen 2, upgraded from 85t and had 65t before those. The only TWS earbuds that make any sense IMO. Why tf does pixel buds not have a mute button?

My daily driver is a pair of Pixel Buds 2 I also have my old trusty Jabra 65t's, a set of 85t (only the right bud keeps a charge), and a set of original Pixel Buds that I leave at work.

For about 4months now. I’ve had Jabra Elite 85t which were just as good, but lost them. Since then I’ve been on the search for new ones and settled for AirPods in the end.

Same biat. Using Jabra elite 85t currently. Pixel user . My research on the choices i have tell me: One plus pro3. lacks mute button ( super useful while taking calls ) but good call quality Jabra elite 10: stopping production. Pricy but overall good. Nothing : bad build quality. Good call quality Pixel pro 2: horrible call quality in noisy environment Airpod pro2 : does not work well with Android Sony xm5: fit issues

I’m in the doctrinaire no-headphones-in-marathons camp, but will also advise that my Jabra Elite 85t ear buds have been champs in all kinds of conditions.

I've got a pair of Jabra Elite 85T that are pretty decent for my Android phone. The Verge and other outlets reported that Jabra was exiting the market so there won't be any newer models. What is a recommended decent quality replacement for the future when these inevitably cease to function or break?

I have tried Jabra 65t, 85t, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, Sony WF-1000XM5 & Samsung Buds2 Pro. Only Samsung Buds2 Pro fit & retain the fit during workouts (weight lifting).

No, neither Jabra sets were Active. However, 65t had more secure fit than 85t.

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.

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.

I have the Jabra Elite with ANC and find it’s decent. Not complete noise cancellation but good enough.

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

Jabra elites are incredible. On my second pair and they've lasted at least 2 years now.

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

I have a horrible track record with electronics, and yet mine lasted years, and they didn't die, I just lost them

Jabra elite. Love it for running (snug) and ANC feature. Price point is reasonable.

I also have a pair of Jabra Elites. The AirPod pro 2s are so good it is no contest. Obvious downside is attachment to Apple ecosystem and some incompatibility with using as general Bluetooth device

Used to own Jabra elite but they are not in market anymore. Seinheiser MTW4 is good too

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

I'm a huge fan of the Jabra Elite I got on Amazon for around $60, they were on sale to boot.

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.

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.

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.

Jabra Elite in-ears outfitted with Comply Foam tips for me. Very comfortable, fantastic isolation, and I've never come close to losing one while I sleep.  With this setup, there's no need to pack my bulky over-ears.

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.
