ArtemisAetherionI have a couple pair of the Jabra Elite Active 65T. They are my favorite pair of headphones I've ever owned.
falcon1080pI’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? 🙏
Fast_Professional_30Jabra elite active 65t picked up a pair for $50 n its been a champ
goingfast7I'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.
gozza888I 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.
HelicopterWonderful9I 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-676I'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.
Kata-cool-iEverybodies 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.
