I’ve been using Jabra Elite Active 65t for about 6 years and they fit my ears perfectly . I’m planning to upgrade to the Jabra Elite 8 Active, but I’m worried about the fit. Will they feel similarly snug, or is the fit different? 🙏
I've been running in Jabra active elite since 65t, up through elite active 8. I've had 7 pair of Jabra headphones, mostly because eventually one doesn't work or I lose one. They have been great, and stay simultaneously paired to both of my phones at the same time.
Jabra is getting out of the headphones businesses.
I tried beats, Samsung buds pro 3(have to push back in my ears every 45 seconds on a trail run), and now shocks open air 2+
I just ran my last 100 with the shokz and they were great. Never heart, I could pause them and have a complete conversation with people without removing them. I never have to adjust them.
They also connect to both of my phones simultaneously unlike anything except the Jabra ever did.
Got my wife a pair of the open air 2 when they were $125 on Amazon. Very comfortable.
I wear my Bluetooth headsets 20+ times a day while taking phone calls, so they're in and out of my case always, good sound quality, and so far they're pretty durable.
I use an old pair of Jabra Elite Active 65t because they literally fit my ears perfectly. I can keep them in all day without discomfort. The only problem is the battery life isn't great and my battery case life is starting to deteriorate significantly.
Everybodies ears are different, so what is comfortable for me may not be for you and so take this with a grain of salt. Also I rarely use ANC, so Ill try not to comment on that too much.
I have used a handful of Jabra models in the past, the 65t active, the 75t active and active 7, all of which I liked. I recently got a pair of Bose QC Ultra 2s, but these were so uncomfortable I could only wear them for 30mins at a time. I returned them and got the nothing ear 3s, which aren't as uncomfortable, but not a secure fit, I also find the audio quality lackluster, though the ANC does seem decent, though I rarely use it. I also have a pair of Denon Perls, which are a much better fit, and audio quality is good (though I would recommend upgrading to the pros). I also got a pair of AZ80s, which I find to be the best fit and sound quality overall.
I've been on pixel buds for a few years. But prior to that I owned 3 Jabra (2x 65t and a 75t). Overall I prefer the buds. I agree with both of the good points you mentioned, and the sound quality is something that I'm honestly not super sensitive to.
They fit me fine, and this is super personal so might be that these just don't fir you (and that's OK).
I hate gestures and miss the real button every single day. Having said that the button is what broke on my first pair of 65t's and I think that the touch control might be less prone to that, so there's that.
What I LOVE but you don't mention is that I don't have to use the stupid Jabra app to adjust the controls of the buds. Having the earbud settings built into the bluetooth menu is amazing.
Also, I can't recall if they resolved this with the 75t or not. but on the 65t you could only single ear with the right earbud. The left connects to the phone through the right on the 65t. I mostly only use 1 bud while at the office and it's nice to be able to swap from the left to the right.
> When I upgraded from mid-range earbuds to the $200 Pixel Buds Pro 2, I had high expectations.
The thing to know here is that the 75t is not a mid range bud. It's a premium one that's a few years old. In fact, the current model the 85t is roughly the same price as the buds pro. So basically you're comparing a premium to premium bud.

Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.
