Jabra - Elite Active 75t (OTE120L, OTE120R, CPB120, CPB125)

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

I've been really happy with my Jabras. My vote stick with them

Ugh. Yeah I want to love these ones after spending $200 but I also prefer my Jabra pair. I'm hoping an update will fix the worst issue I'm noticing like you mentioned - constantly cutting in and out from side to side almost like head tracking, which I definitely have toggled off, especially when I'm biking.

If you want something more budget friendly that definitely stay in, Soundcore Sport X20. I had Jabra Active 75 which were ok but definitely still fell out from time to time. Replaced them recently with the Soundcores and have been very impressed.

because the Jabras are fantastic, I have the Jabra Elite Active 75t Earbuds and I'm so hesitant to move on from them especially because fit & sound is # 1 for me because I use them working out. haven't found another set yet that meets my requirement of fit/sound. Too bad the company is essentially gone so they're no longer getting updates. They work perfectly though

I had the same Jabras for two years until the right earbud stopped charging. I got the elite active 8s to replace them. I love them just as much as the 75 T. Both pairs have been the most comfortable earbuds I've ever worn so I'd be hesitant to try another higher-end set from another brand... but will have to eventually since Jabra has stopped making new earbuds. They do block a lot of noise even when the ANC is off, so if you need to be able to hear cars and you didn't like the hearthrough from Jabra, you may want to keep looking.

I have these and a pair of Jabra Elite Active 75t. The Jabra is a few years older and still prefer them over these

I’ve also loved these. On my second pair and might hunt for a 3rd pair as back up.

I have a pair of tozo nc9 and a pare of Jabra elite 75t active but I like the cheap tozo pair better.

I am happy with some of the Jabra earbuds. Both Elite Active 75t, Elite 7 and Elite 10 have good sound and fit that for me is superior to e g AirPods Pro. 

It is all about fit.  But the elite Jabras, Sennheiser momentum true wireless and ofc AirPods Pro2 are good.  

What if I gave you earbuds? Jk. But Jabra active elite 75t are the absolute best. I have like 4 pairs on accident.

Lost a pair, bought a new pair. Found a pair. Lost one of the earbuds. Bought a new pair. Pair had a glitch in them but I didn’t return them in time. Bought a new pair. Found most of them, but one is still missing an earbud.

At least they are all refurbished

I have a pair of the Jabra active 75s , the ANC is the best ive used. I just bought the technic AZ100s. While they sound great, the ANC still is better in my Jabras

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.

My current ones are actually Jabras (Elite 75t Active) which have served me well for years. The ANC isn’t great though, which is why I’m considering an upgrade. I suppose I could keep these for running (was considering donating them to my partner).

I don't know about Shokz but I've had my pair of Jabra Elite Active 75t for well over 4 years now and they still work just fine and last 5-6 hours on a charge after near-daily use. Well worth the money I spent on them.

I must be lucky as I have the elite active 8 Gen 1 and the old active 75t ( I think thats what they were called) and don't have the hissing noise.. I do run and they are great for running... My one gripe is it doesn't seem as loud as my old ones.. I have Poweramp paid EQ and it still doesn't seem as loud, maybe I'm not adjusting the settings properly.. bass on them are great though

Jabra elite active 75t is divine!

If you're looking for gym earbuds, I'd recommend the Jabra Elite Active 75t and Beats Powerbeats Pro.The Jabra earbuds are sweatproof, stay in place during intense workouts, and have solid bass for that extra motivation. They also offer just the right amount of noise isolation without completely blocking out the environment. The Beats Powerbeats Pro are super secure with their over-ear hooks, perfect for weight training. They have great bass, are sweatproof, and have long battery life. They’re a bit bulkier but stay put no matter how intense your session gets.

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.

I just went through this exercise. Was looking for something around $100. It came down to the Earfun 4 Pros or OnePlus Buds 3. I went with the Earfun 4 Pros. Only issues is I wish they fit in my ear a bit tighter. I'm still fiddling with the tips. The touch controls are finicky, but I hear that is for all the touch ones. I had the Jabra 75T actives before and LOVED them. It's almost like earbuds have regressed over time. (But the new bluetooth auto connect is a vast improvement.) Trick with the touch controls is to touch your middle finger to the base of your head where the top of the ear and bottom meet. There's a little spot their your middle finger will find. With your middle finger touching your head, your index finger will naturally tap exactly where it needs to. With all these, if you go touching around trying to find the earbud, you always get an accidental press otherwise as you are trying to find the right spot.

I had the 75t jabras also and they are one of my favourites, even the new jabras don't compare. I use the one plus buds pro 3 now and they are good but not on the level of bass as the 75ts

I was in the exact same spot as you a few weeks ago. I'd put my Jabra Elite Active 75s through very heavy usage, running, lifting, work meetings, and daily listening. They finally died after 4 years. I could not find a new option that ticked all the boxes the 75s did, with good sound, hear through, multi-device connection, a good IP rating, good reliability, etc. The new Jabra models (8 and 10) look good, but Jabra is leaving the consumer headphone space, so future support is an unknown. After a bunch of research, I just accepted the fact that I wasn't going to get a single do-it-all option. So I went with the Technics EAH-AZ80 for most uses, and the Suunto Sonics for running and cycling. I feel way better about the bone conduction for safety. And the Technics blow the Jabra's noise cancelling out of the water. I don't love two devices, but all the other single device options I could find didn't match the Jabra 75s. RIP to a great set of headphones.

Still rocking with my Elite 75t Active. I am saddened to see them exiting the market. Guess it's time to stock up on the newer Elite 10.

This happened with my Jabras after only a few uses, also the left earbud.

I was considering these because I loved my Elite Active 75t's that my puppy devoured. But the 8s gen2's are were sold out everywhere and they're discontinuing production, so I don't like the idea of the support going away.

Hey, I’m looking for some new earbuds for working out and need some suggestions. Been using a few pairs, but none of them have really done it for me. I tried some second hand Jabra Elite Active 75t's and they were super comfy, but they didn’t stay in during intense movements (think burpees, running, etc.). Plus, the noise isolation was a little too much for me—felt like I was in a bubble and couldn’t hear anything around me, which made me feel kinda unsafe. I’m looking for something that: \- Stays put during intense workouts \- Good sound but doesn’t need to be mind-blowing (I care more about fit and comfort) \- Decent battery life, at least 6-8 hours \- Waterproof or sweatproof for sure \- Under $150, preferably around $100-120 if possible Anyone got recommendations? Appreciate any help! Thanks so much :)

Jabra Elite Active 75t. Brilliant earbuds. They stay in with a great fit. While I may be sweating they stay snug. Hear through function is excellent and doesn't sound like they're in ear. Customising the buttons and audio is easy through the app. Sound quality is great as is battery life. Love them.

Jabra Elite Active 75T are serving me well. Good sound, waterproof, good battery life

I've been through a load of cheaper pairs and have ended up with a couple of pricier pairs. Jabra should be on your list. Short version - if I lost my Jabra pair (Elite Active 75) I'd buy whatever the equivalent is in their current lineup without thinking. They've survived years of abuse, fit brilliantly, have survived the worst rain the UK can throw at them, and the sound quality is very, very good. They're easy to use, the noise cancellation is decent (I forget if it's active or just the fit, but it cuts a hell of a lot of noise out) and the buttons work exactly as they should. 5 years of use multiple times a week...they're an absolute workhorse. My Sony WF-1000XM4 are a step up from the Jabra's when listening to music - the sound quality is excellent. That said the difference disappears when there's background noise. I can't get as good a fit, and the buttons aren't a tactile button so they're fiddly and unresponsive sometimes. I don't trust them in the weather as much either, although they've survived normal amounts of rain. I only really use them when conditions are calm and I know I'll be listening to music more than podcasts, they can bring out a lot of detail from the right tracks. But they just aren't the best running earbuds.

My Jabra earbuds ( 75t active and active 8)stay in place no matter what. Rarely I need to give them a slight nudge back in but they will 'ever fall out even if I don't.

For something *not* Shokz: I use the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds. They have a “HearThrough” setting that allows you to hear your surroundings while listening to audio. They’re waterproof and pretty tough. I had to get “aftermarket” gels for a better in-ear fit. I’ve had them for almost three years. Had a few issued with one earbud randomly disconnecting/not playing, but they’ve been a good investment. Don’t know if I‘ll buy another pair or finally try Shokz once these die.

I was using the best earbuds I've ever had - the Jabra Elite Active 75t - until the right earbud broke. Bought the Apple Airpods Pro 2 and wasn't disappointed - very comfortable, great sound and consistent connectivity.

Yeah, I had a pair of the 75 Elites and they were great. Lasted through years of treadmill running and indoor cycling before giving up the ghost. I had a $200 credit from buying a P10 so figured I'd get the buds pro 2 since they were basically free. The fit on the Jabras was better, but the buds do at least stay in my ears unlike the apple air pod pro 2s. I also agree the UX of the jabras was much better. Half the time I adjust volume when I want to start/stop music. It's a shame jabra stopped making consumer products.

Technics AZ100 - Not even a week old lol, but I’ll definitely recommend it! Top tier sound! Jabra Elite Active 75Ts - About 4 years old. Absolutely yes. Very comfortable and bass heavy!

None on the 75Ts. I had the 65Ts earlier but one of the buds stopped working but luckily it was still under warranty. The company replaced it and gave me the 75Ts at no extra cost. 75Ts far better than the 65Ts and yes, no issues whatsoever since the time I had them.

Jabra Elite 7 Active here as well and the Jabra Elite active 75t before that. Both were quite amazing for the price. Although the 75t earbuds died on me after 2 years, they started working again after a month or two.

I can't claim to have tried lots of different headphones, but of the few I've tried, the only pair that has ever lasted me more than about 18 months is the Jabra Elite Active 75t, which I have been using for the past 3+ years. You won't get audiophile sound quality from them, but I find it pretty good. On average, I use them several hours a day, 4-5 days/week, and have noticed little to no degradation in battery life (I feel like I could go a couple of weeks between charges when I first got them, maybe now it's more like 10-12 days). No issues with water resistance in rain or while getting sweaty during a run. I also found that if I was not picky about color, I could get a deal on a less popular one. Not sure if they still make it, but if not, it surely has a successor (I think there is an Elite Active 85t or something like that).

Jabra 75t sounds amazing. Best buds also have elite 10s, not as good anc poir

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.

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.

My older jabra elite 75ts from 2021 are still going strong. It seems the newer ones have more issues

I have been using Jabra for about 4 years now. Started with the 75 and now have the 10 elite. They are expensive but high quality. Don't know if they are the best bang for buck but I know they guarantee quality.

Yeah the 75ts are the ones I got first and fell in love with. Then I got the Jabra 3 elites and then the Jabra 4 actives. The only reason I got new ones is I lost the other ones. I now have an air tag on them. The best.

I had them for almost five years. They went through the washer and dryer several times—never an issue. Sadly, now the left bud isn’t working as well anymore and is making a weird noise. I'm desperately searching for another pair I’ll love for running but haven’t found one yet. I tried the new Powerbeats 2 (they sucked) and am currently trying the Beats Fit Pro. I do like them, but after 50 minutes of running, my ears start to hurt due to the wingtip. The new Jabra Elite 8 didn’t work for me like the 75T did—they didn’t stay in place, and I feel like they created more of that vacuum feeling in my ear canals. So...PLEASE ...SUGGESTIONS? I'm looking at the Soundcore Sport X20, but it seems like they stop working after a few months from some reviews? I can't use open ear ones, since I need to block the noise from the gym when running on the treadmill. Treadmill runners - please help.

Jabra Elite 7 Active and Jabra 75t. I’m not sure if they’re the same but I swear by these. I’ll never leave Jabra. My 7’s have lasted about 5 years now and I used them for work/working out. My 75t’s were the same but I lost them after a couple years.

If you can still find new old Jabra stock. My old 75t have buttons

I use Jabra Elite 75 to lull me to sleep and the batteries never run out before I get annoyed and remove them. Which can take over 3 hours. The case recharges them in about 20 minutes. They are the most comfortable pair I ever used (I'm a side sleeper).

I'm a big fan of Jabra earbuds. I've had the 75t for about 5 years and the only downside is the battery life has faded a little but not much. I just upgraded to the elite 10 and love them. If you travel much these are a must have since the case can be used to listen with your earbuds to anything with an aux jack.

I've tested Samsung Buds, AirPods, Jabra (from 75t which are my favorites to the newer Jabra Elite 10 Gen1), Redmi Buds 4 Pro, Xiaomi Buds, Sony XM5, Pixel Buds Pro, Technics AZ60M2EK... My choice was Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, as they fit every checkbox (Technics had the best audio quality but suffered from leakage, all the office can hear what I'm listening to, same for Pixel Buds).

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!

Ear buds are small and easy to lose. I’ve purchased two things to make losing my earbuds more difficult. The first is a case for my earbuds. [Example](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BX9QYV56) The second is straps. [Example](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CVRLJ8K2) Unfortunately, the straps I have prevent the case from closing. The thing to know is that such things actually exist and are available for whatever earbuds you choose. I also highly recommend you use a label maker and put your name, phone, and email on the inside lid of the case. Edit: I would also suggest getting “active” earbuds. These are designed for running etc and have good inserts so that they don’t fall out. The key is getting earbuds that fit **your** ears. Different ear canals work better with some brands Vs others. For example, my Jabta 75t has round buds while my Jabra 85t has oval ones. The round ones are far more comfortable and far less likely to fall out. It’s also important to get the right size buds.

My few cents, I'm using XM5 (also Buds pro and FE). XM5 has great ANC but I would NOT buy them again (I got them as low as 135EUR!!) - foams are the worst, but in general they are slippy and uncomfortable. Unfortunately Samsung Buds are not an option for me because of lack of true Bluetooth multipoint. Right now I'm back on Jabra 75t (best earbuds ever for me, just with poor ANC). I'm thinking about new Bose QuietComfort or Jabra Elite 8 or 10. If lack of multipoint is not a problem get Samsung Buds. BTW Buds FE are really close to Buds Pro 2/3

I have the 75T also, and I use the supplied tips from the Sony XM4's, and the ANC improved tremendously. I think most of what makes ANC effective is selecting the right tips. For example the tips that Soundcore provides for the Liberty 4 NC are basically junk and don't do their ANC any favors but if you do a quick search for quality replacements the ANC can be brought to its maximum effectiveness. Same goes for any earbuds.

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, which is still excellent even though they're pretty dated.

The best physical button earbuds I've used are the Jabra 75T. Actually, they're the best controls I've ever used. They're an older model but are still a great option today. The sound quality is still tops and the best bass I've ever heard. You could probably find them on eBay, still new. Also, the sound quality of the Space A40 isn't that great. They're the worst sounding earbuds from Soundcore imo.

They're on eBay for cheap. Don't be fooled by the price. These are still premium earbuds. I think they're one of the first to have multipoint also.

The build quality is second to none. I got mine years ago, and they're still going strong. I have a ton of earbuds, and these are right at the top in many categories.

I don't love bone conduction (and yes I've tried them). I find them good for some things, but find things like hip hop not great in them. I've been running in Jabra 65t and 75t for 4ish years now. They work great for me - they stay in place, they have "hear through" capability, and they're small.

Agreed. Had the 65ts and now the have the 75ts and they are both great. The only reason I upgraded was cause someone left the 75ts in our lost found and I snagged them before they were donated.

Still using my Jabra Elite 75ts after all these years. I will cry when they finally die and I have to find some other brand to run in.

Not really, the Samsung's aren't that bad, or the Jabra 75t were fairly decent, I can hear the compression artifacts but not as forward as the Denons. That's my experience, it can obviously be different for others.

I'm not sure what your point is. To reiterate, Denons do not tolerate low bitrate/compressed audio as well as others earbuds I have tried. So, if someone's looking to buy them but only stream on Spotify then their experience will probably be not as good as someone streaming from Qobuz etc. While Samsung and Jabra and even the Sonys are much more forgiving then Denon in my experience.

Fuck man...this sucks. I instantly fell in love with jabra 65t and 75t blew my mind. They last for so long, their sound is top notch, and they fit perfectly even for running. Everyone speaks of noise cancelling but jabras silicone alone fits so well it silences the outside, while the hearthrough is great. Man thats such a shame...

My 75t is still going strong haha I can still find in the market the elite 8 active and other newer modules, so i plan on trying them before going to another company. I heard the elite 8 is amazing

Advice needed! I have been looking a long time and tried quite a few earbuds. But I cannot find it. So reddit, hear me out. Back in the day I bought a Samsung S8 and they came with these amazingly nice fitting yet very simple AKG wired ear buds. I still have them and these (and SONY MDR-EX15LP) have been the only ear buds that fitted in my ears without getting uncomfortable after 10 minutes of using. But unfortunately all the 3.5mm jacks are disappearing and the adapters are always a hassle. I am in need of wireless ones. So far I have tried: - soundcore liberty 4 nc (absolute horrible fit) - samsung galaxy buds - jabra 75t - some 3rd party brands I am done trying and wasting money on buds that don't fit my ears. So who can help me find ear buds that resemble the ergonomy of the AKG and sony's I've mentioned? Other requirements that are of high importance to me are: - high grade call quality (as in I need to be able to have a clear conversation while cycling to work through northern winds) - pretty good noice cancelling. Not the absolute best though. I have my Bose QC over ear headphone for that. - simple interface. I am not an audiophile nor a tech wizard. - flawless connectivity with any device. I absolutely loathe things that don't work when prompted. Hopefully some of you can point me in the right direction. I would be forever greatful😁.

Damn that sucks my 75's are great, got them free under warranty at JB when my 65s died

I had the Ip7 and as a truck driver they had about a 3hr battery life after 1 year they had some troubles connecting once in a while or one wouldn't turn on the driver. 2yrs in and the batter life was down to about 2 hrs on a full charge. Year 3 they died before we got there the left one stopped being loud and wouldn't match the volume of the right one just after the 2nd year mark. So longevity wise they were not the ticket. This all said I can't find head phones that would match the sound quality I got from them. The senheisser true wireless 1 and 2 were good but not better, Jabra elite 7 are ok but still not better? Beat studio buds plus I find to be very very underwhelming and would take the Jabra over them. Looking into the sonys or the bang and olfsen ones not sure what to do either. I use headphones for up to 12 hrs a day so I am hard on them and have killed multiple different ones.

Jabra Elite Actives are just all round #1 by multiple running reviewers and I have had 3 versions of them over last few years...great sound...ANC...8 hours battery in use on the latest version...sweat resistant hold via the type of rubber on the buds. Water/sweat proof. Problem is they are discontinueing the line :(

Jabra elite actives are awesome!

Been with various Jabra Elite Active for years. The best. So disappointed they are stopping production.

I love my Jabra elite actives. Also if you like music with heavy bass these absolutely rip. Also 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. Highly recommend these!

Perso casque je peux pas. Ça tient trop chaud, déjà que j'ai vite chaud et que je transpire pas mal ça me rendrait folle. Ça tiens moins bien aussi je trouve. J'ai des écouteurs Jabra Elite Active (je sais plus combien), achetés y'a 2 ans, ils sont trop bien. Ils tiennent bien, même quand je fais du handstand ils tombent pas. Son correct, je suis pas mélomane mais ça me suffit bien pour le quotidien surtout qu'il y a une réduction de bruit active donc ça camoufle la musique de merde de ma salle. La batterie tiens longtemps aussi sachant que je les utilise environ 2h30 4 à 5x/semaine. Généralement je les charge 2 fois par semaine grand max.

I had a pair of Jabra Elite Active’s, but one day I lost a bud while running.. After that I opted for the Soundcore X20’s. They work great for running.

I struggle with the same. I have tried ear plugs under ANC headphones, but even the most blocking plugs (35 dB is the highest I have found here), and an expensive headphone, do not block all sound (not even my coworkers laughing and discussing). My best solution so far has been ANC earbuds under ANC headphones.. So double ANC.. I have Jabra Active Elite earbuds, and Sony quite-expensive-something headset. Even this do not give complete silence in the open office plan, but it's quite close to it. In-ear ANC plugs do a lot more for me than ANC over-the-ear headphones. The headphones alone hardly helps at all..

Sadly jabra killed the elite active line. They're so good!

This is the answer. If you can get 75ts on ebay go for them! Miss mine so much after four years of heavy use (and were bought second hand anyway) they finally stopped holding a charge.

Jabra elite active. They have noise canceling and hear through.

Any elite active versions from Jabra are solid. The OnePlus buds 3 are also solid with ip55

Jabra Elite active is what I use occasionally. They have "hear through mode" that allows me to hear outside noise while I am riding. I haven't had anyone mention background noise when talking on them. My issue with talking and riding is being out of breath and trying to talk at the same time 🤣

jabra elite actives have always stayed in my ears when hitting a bag, shadowboxing, running, ect. Personally never have had them fall out when exercising.

Jabra Elite Active également, c'est fait pour le sport, c'est fait pour résister à la transpi, à l'eau et aux chocs (si tu prévois de faire du sport en extérieur aussi), ça ne tombe jamais des oreilles. Le seul point négatif que j'avais c'est l'utilisation pour téléphoner, le bruit ambiant n'était pas réduit et l'autre personne entendait mal avec le vent (c'était les élite 65, une vieille version donc ils se sont probablement amélioré dessus). Il y a peut-être meilleur ailleurs mais pour bien plus cher.

I like my Jabra Elite Active. Very very secure fit, my generation’s ANC is mediocre (newer gen probably is better) but I don’t think it’s a good idea to use ANC while running. Also very robust and very good sound.

Agreed, I love mine. They have physical buttons instead of "touch" buttons - so important.

I love the Jabra elite actives, but sadly they were discontinued

My Jabra Active's work great. Had them for many years now. I will replace them if they break or get lost.

I have had a pair of Jabra active earbuds for almost 6 years and going strong. I commute 9 miles on my bicycle each day in the Florida and they are going strong. 

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.

Absolutely agree! I don’t even have problems doing double unders with them

You are going to get a lot of people telling you to go with shokz. I tried them and can't get past the terrible sound quality so only use them if I have too. My go to is Jabra elite active range but they aren't made anymore unfortunately Siemens sports true wireless have been decent but aren't as indestructible as the jabras

I use the Janbra Elite exercise series (forget the name). They kick ass. Used them for years and I sweat a lot.

I try to avoid the speakers, you will put them too loud and damage your hearing. I was very happy with my Jabra elites, but lost them all. Replaced by anker soundcore buds.

I’ve been using some jabra elite noise canceling earbuds when I ride for the last few years. They sound great and block a lot of wind noise. I lost one today. Now I’m not sure what to do. I can buy a replacement bud, a new set of earbuds, or switch to a helmet speaker and wear ear plugs. Looking for input from people who’ve used both earbuds and a speaker/plugs combo.

Agree with that I had to get my Elite replaced 3 times within warranty period and I always get complaints from people I call that the call is extremely noisy (usually doing house chores and stuff...) which led me to this post haha

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

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.

Oh no!! Yeah my Jabra Elites have been so good for about 7 years. Was thinking of upgrading soon but this is a spanner

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!

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

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.

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

Probably gonna get flamed by the shoks gang but I really dont get the hype… I have been using my jabra elites for years and have had zero slipping or issues hearing my surroundings. Plus bone conduction sounds like booty cheeks. Unless my earbuds are cranked or in noise cancelling mode I can hear everything just fine. Idk thats just my opinion tho

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

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

I've had the Jabra elites for a couple years and just got a set of Shokz. I prefer the Jabras on my weekday short runs that end up being along streets with traffic because the noise from the cars drowns out the music with Shokz. If it's super early (still dark), less busy streets, or on the trail I go with the Shokz.

Jabra Evolve or Evolve 2 or Jabra Elite headphones / earbuds have pretty good microphones. You can get them for something for a fairly reasonable price used.

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.

I can double tap my right earphone and it skips songs. They are Jabra elite’s

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.

Not at all, it's better to buy jabra elite Cheaper and more comfortable

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 also have tiny ear canals and the Jabra Elites have worked well for me, they’re secure 95% of the time unless I’m REALLY sweaty, but then usually a quick remove-wipe-replace does the trick.

J'ai des jabra élite j'en suis très satisfait, bon son, bonne autonomie, tiennent super bien dans mes oreilles, se nettoient facilement au besoin
