"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"Noise cancellation works great. ... I’m an attorney and need silence often when working, I will keep them in without anything playing at times because it does a great job with it."
"The R50i NC has a pretty good noise cancelling feature. it cancels out most noises, most especially the low and deep noises such as traffic. ... voices and conversations are ALMOST muted, if you're not listening to music and basically just using these as earplugs, you can still kinda hear people talk but you won't understand a lick of what theyre saying unless you're face to face. It kinda sounds like pressing a thick pillow over people's faces when they're talking. ... I like it, it works for me, especially since once you play music along with ANC, you won't be able to hear any of those little things that penetrate the ANC aside from ambulances and annoying fucking alarms playing on very loud speakers from your brother's PC"
"the transparency is amazing, which is nice for cycling on the road."

"those physical buttons are SO much better than touch, swipe, pinch and just anything else. ... Like, want to adjust volume through your hat with gloves on riding your bike? no problem at all"
"physical buttons are far superior to touch or swipe gestures during workouts (think sweaty hands or gloves during the cold season). ... Pressing physical buttons can be done without even looking at the watch, whereas touch gestures require a high degree of dexterity."
"Button operation is also a big plug for the Garmins. After pouring a few cups of water over your head, touch control of the Apple Watch doesn't work well anymore."

"The Pros basically lock in to your ears. ... I’ve worn mine for literally hundreds of hours working out and they’ve never fallen out once. ... I am sure that I could do cartwheels in them and they wouldn’t budge."
"sweat resistant hold via the type of rubber on the buds. ... Water/sweat proof."
"they’ve never fallen out of my ears while being active - they actually turn off when they’re almost accidentally wiggled loose after a long intense training sesh."

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"I've had them for a few years and now the battery doesn't last for more than 40 mins, so looking for a different model."
"And then during a race in September the mid sole of one pulled right off with less than 200 km on them."

"Hated the fit ... the lack of fin/wing to keep them put just made them totay wrong for my ears... Gutted."
"I kept feeling them on and thinking they would fall off my ears at any moment, it would distract me from my run."
"they fall out at the slightest head movement"

"the bass was non-existent which sucked"

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"after about 6 months of use, the battery life fell off dramatically. ... I'm lucky if I get 45 minutes out of a full charge. ... This battery issue affected both sets of Elite 65t earbuds."
"my vivoactive 4s died a few months ago now after a few good years services, I wanted to change it. I couldn't because I had the change the whole watch, planned obsolescence."

"Yeah mine hit the ground a ton. ... after my ride one hit the ground in tall grass and I can’t find it."
"I found the epic sport earbuds to be too bulky to use in my helmet for skiing"
AfroBadger 1.0My Jabra Elite Active 65t are still hanging in there. (Single bud working) I still have my awesome Bose QuietComfort 35 Series 2 that I got free with my Pixel 5.
ArtemisAetherion 1.0I have a couple pair of the Jabra Elite Active 65T. They are my favorite pair of headphones I've ever owned.
gespenst_mk2 1.0I used to have Jabra Elite Active 65T (yeah, ancient antique now) but sadly Jabra withdraw from Singapore market. You may still able to get it but no more after sales support. End up I got Sennheiser Momentum TW4 for upgrade. Serving me well so far with improve sound quality.
goingfast7 1.0I'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.
gozza888 1.0I 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.
grilledcheesybreezy 1.0Im coming from Jabra 65T active elites that are 5 years old. I need to upgrade but can confirm Jabra's are great
HelicopterWonderful9 1.0I have the Elite 10s and really don’t like them much. Just my opinion though. They are super slow to connect to my devices when they first turn on and I hate the triangular tips. Loved my elite active 65s though.
Human-Salamander-676 1.0I've had the Jabra Elite Active 65t for years and they haven't disappointed me. I'm sure there's a newer and better version out now. Stay in ears pretty well and the hear through technology is pretty good.
jajaja1969 1.0Wondering about the same thing. Just went from Jabra active 65t to OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, men the OnePlus didn't fit my ear, so now I'm looking for something else. Maybe I should just keep on going with jabra? Who's the best?
Jester41K 1.0Did you ever find a comparable replacement? I loved my 65t for working out because they were locked into my ear and never budged.
I loved my 65t because they never budged while exercising. Do the Elite 10s have the same feel?
