"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"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."

"both the earbuds and case are entirely waterproof. They've been worn in the shower and heavy rain, dropped in puddles, even gone through the washer."
"It took over 5 years for one of the buds to give out and stop charging, and I still happily use the other bud all night every night. ... Absolute beasts"
"and in the shower too and theyre waterproofed really well! ... dropped them in a tub of water by accident and they’re just fine."

"these model are loudest with rumble bass ... tozo t10"
"I fucking love the bass response (the only Bluetooth earbuds I've ever used that can replicate the rumble of a tuned 808 kick without ducking the highs)"
"The earbuds with the best bass I've ever used are the Jabra 75T. ... They literally make my ears vibrate, and the best thing is it's clean and doesn't ruin the rest of the sound quality"

"USE THE STOCK ONES, any other tip I tried outside the stock ones, really make the ANC WAY worse, by 60% I would say, and it’s not an exaggeration"
"having somewhat of a shittier ANC. ... For the use of buses or even home, don't even think about it, the ANC goes crazy with the sound of the engine and the passive noise reduction is almost non present. ... I'd rather not having headphones in the bus and actively listen to the engine than to have these headphones and having to actually listen to the engine as well + weird ANC noises + doghsit quality audio. ... this newer model somehow improves in actually nothing and somehow got an even worse ANC even though the first already barely even had at all. ... ANC: it does contain it, but it does not contain it. ... Bluetooth buds have one purpose which is having ANC, and sounding slightly good. These couldn't even deliver on that."
"they are not noise canceling"

Oh no!! Yeah my Jabra Elites have been so good for about 7 years. Was thinking of upgrading soon but this is a spanner
r/trailrunning • Running headphones ->Jabra Elite here as well. I do about 1K miles/year, nearly all urban streets and nearly all with sound canceling (it’s never good enough to block all noise). Especially with electric cars, it’s about eyes and defensive running period. Ears are important, sure. But in the quiet electric era (or in cities with scooters and bikes cultures), I find myself looking way more than listening. I’ve been dense urban area running for 15+ years (think NYC and the like), and the change is real. I know the consensus is anti-sound canceling or anti-earbud and even anti-music. But I’ve run a ridiculous amount of miles over the years and music is a big part is my running. But to be fair, I chose my headphones based on battery life. Once I had a marathon go wrong and my headphones died at 3.5 hours and I limped to a 5 hour walking finish. Damn, even a touch of music might have helped the struggle. Best of luck!
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->Jabra 75t sounds amazing. Best buds also have elite 10s, not as good anc poir
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s favorite premium earbuds ->I have the Jabra 75t and think the great seal I get from them is a big part of the ANC effectiveness. I've tried some NE 2024 and GBP2 and the fit is not as secure and ANC is meh.... so for me its the fit/seal for both ANC and sound quality. I use foam tips on some $40 KZs I use at church for IEMs that sound freakin awesome but find putting the foam tips on the ear buds interferes with the case lid closure.
r/Earbuds • Best ANC earbuds? I've been disappointed by the big names so far. ->I have these too. I do think they are the best option for OP. However I would not use them for hours at a time and I'm not sure how you can possibly sleep with them. Over the ears are a must for me when traveling.
r/BuyItForLife • Got a long day of travel and desperately need some earbuds with really good battery life and are very comfortable to wear for long periods at a time ->The best and most reliable earphones I have are the JLAB GO POP+. I've used them in extreme cold and heat, they've gone through the washer and dryer, and the charge lasts forever. They cost $25 and sound better than almost every more expensive pair I've owned. Runner up would be Jabra Elite Active series for me, but I've killed too many of them with sweat and they cost like 4x the price. To be fair, they always replace them under warranty, but it'd be cool if they didn't break instead. We need to stop pretending Shokz sound anything remotely adjacent to "good." They do not. They serve a purpose, and if that purpose serves you, great, but they do not sound objectively "good" in any sense of the concept as it relates to listening music in the real world. IOW, if you bought any other product to listen to while not running and it sounded like Shokz, you'd assume it was broken.
r/Marathon_Training • What is the most reliable brand of running headphones that sounds great and works the best for runners? Is Shockz right? ->I used to have the 75s and now I have the elite 5s. They have a new feature that solves the wind issue. I don't use them for running, but if I'm on the phone walking my dog and it's windy, it automatically adjusts the hear through microphones When it gets windy. Id imagine any of the new jabras will have the same feature
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->My older jabra elite 75ts from 2021 are still going strong. It seems the newer ones have more issues
r/Jabra • Quality of Jabra headphones ->I have also been thinking this, I'd say get anything that works. Closed Backs with ANC are probably your friend here. Also Bose is quite expensive....I have used Jabra Elites pretty good.
r/Ultramarathon • Advice for Headphones ->I've been really happy with my Jabras. My vote stick with them
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
