Jabra - Elite Active 75t

I have the Jabra Elite Active 75t that I bought in 2020... I wear them everyday for probably 4-5 hours at work during teams meetings plus another hour or so walking listening to podcast then also wear them while running every night and this has been my standard for the last 4 years and they are still going strong. I dont typically wear them trail running but this is only because when I'm out on the trail I prefer to enjoy the sounds of the trail. I have looked at getting a pair of shokz many times and they are very appealing for running but I always come to the conclusion that my current headphones still work great without any issues so what problem am I really trying to solve.

I sweat profusely and killed every set of “water resistant” earbuds I got until my wife (then girlfriend) purchased me a set of jabra active 2. They have worked for nearly 3 years now with no issues or discomfort.

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

I have these and love them more than anything however I put sunscreen on my left ear and some got on the earbud and it doesn’t charge anymore. Beware.

Same. Jabra Elite Active 75t have been my longest lasting running earbuds. I’ve had mine since 2019. I love the hear through function for the trails. I head hear wildlife or mountain bikers on my tail.

I have these too - and can easily wear them with sun glasses so they should be okay but YMMV of course. Good battery life and never had a problem with sweat or rain. Only thing I would change is that the bluetooth connection is to the right ear bud and so I have to switch my Garmin watch to my right hand if I want uninterrupted signal for my music. I can't imagine that this would be an issue if you carried a phone etc and it's a very minor thing overall. I'm also not sure if this is still the situation with the newer models.

I've been using my Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds since 2021 and they're still going strong. Both the earbuds themselves and the case have endured literally thousands of hours of sweat, rain, and dirt. They've accompanied on my work commute, runs, cycling trips, and vacations. I can't recommend them enough. Also, they have noise cancellation and hear through.

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 :)

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.

Seconding Jabra. I’ve had the Elite Active 75t for almost 3 years now and they work great.

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 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.

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 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.  

Unfortunately 75t active are discontinued. I have them but they are done, but best buds I ever had by far

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.

I can testify . I had the jabra 65t active in 2018. Got 75t active in 2020. Only upgraded because of the smaller form factor. Going to upgrade to the 8 active this year 2024 because I’m hearing Jabra is exiting. They are the best wireless ear buds for performance and budget.

I use the Jabra Elite Active 75t. Had them for a couple of years now. Great performance and sound. Stay in well and come with quite a few different earpieces. App works well and if needed you can take calls. Sweat resistant and have been rained on as well. Big fan.

Same. They are going strong. I would rebuy these again if I needed to do so.

I've got a pair of Sony WF1000XM4 and Jabra Elite Active 75t's. Sound quality on both is very good, but music is appreciably more detailed and overall better on the Sony's. I trust the water proofing on the Jabras more, I've drowned them and they've been fine. The fit is slightly better for me too. I take the Jabras if it's raining. The rest of the time I take the Sony's. Both are great though.

I have these and they’re great. The right one refuses to stay in my ear, though, so I always wear a stretchy headband over my ears. Suits me, my ears are cold for 9 months out of every 12 anyway.

Yep, they are my go to as well.

I came here to make the exact same recommendation. I've had mine for a couple years and the batteries still last super long, and they get HEAVY use.

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.

REALLY late to the game here, but I came across this thread because my Jabra elite 10s are NOWHERE near loud enough. The sound quality is phenomneal but my 5ish year old jabra elite active 75ts are way better, and the ANC is better too.

I recently got Jabra elite 8 active gen 2 and they are amazing. Great call quality, sound, durability and battery. Transparency and ANC is also good. I’m still breaking them in so fit isn’t perfect, I get some soreness, but I think it’s less than when I first got them. It’s very personal though depending on your ear shape, and the very similar 75t active serves me well for three years.

That's what I have. Best ones I've owned.

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.

Jabra elite active 75, or 7 or eight series (these I think the most up to date). Incredible sound, package doesn’t stick out beyond your air like an airpod does - so you won’t catch it on clothes, etc. Great comfort and does not fall out. I tried most of the market and this was by far the best

I use the Jabra active elite ones. Ran half marathons, NYC marathon, etc with them. Never had any interference. They're also good for sweat, rain, dust, etc.

Jabra elite active series 

Missed this comment before I mentioned the same ☝️☝️. Jabra is discontinuing them for God knows why because they are great 

By working out do you mean some weightlifting or more cardio stuff where you are actively moving around a lot? Or even Crossfit or something? Difference will be how much you need a pair that will need to really really stay put. My thing is more powerlifting, so its not a big deal for me I can wear pretty much any bud apart from on the bench and they wont move. So it expands choice a bit, but I do look for dust and water rating because weight lifting chalk. More movement I would say look at Jabra Elite

Jabra earbuds (Active version) are the best for running and other outdoor workouts. I have been using Jabras for over 5 years now. Before that I had struggled with many different brands.

The hear through kind of sucks when running though. Lot of wind noise and I personally still feel isolated from the outside world in a way that isn’t quite safe. Love my Jabra elites for the gym though

The thump is with anything that sits in your ear canal. I love my Jabra elites for the gym because of good sound and noise cancelling but hate them for running. Gonna get some Shokz just for long runs because of it and also because even with hear through mode I feel cut off from my surroundings with ear buds

Jabra Elite Actives work great for me

I've been using different models from Jabra for like 4 years now and have never had one fall out of my ear. But wife can't wear them at all though because they won't fit her even with the smallest end option they came with.

If jabra 10 gen 2 price goes down enough before going out of the market, I will get them. Have first gen jabra 10 already. Former satisfied owner of Jabra 65t and 75

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

This is bad news! Despite of some flaws, Jabra elites are solid, affordable and high quality buds.

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.

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

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.

I've been using Jabra elite since 2020. Very happy

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.

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

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.

Yeah also fan of the Jabra Active, I’m using for but wanna upgrade to 8.

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

Jabra Elite Active

Love the jabra elite I have pair 3 years now and work out and run regularly without any problems

Bose QC EarBuds II have awesome sound, possibly the best ANC and are very comfortable. However when it is heavy raining, I am wearing a beany or gloves I reach for Jabra Elite Active as they have real buttons (and set of other features as well - before Bose were my favorite earbuds since 65t/75t/85t/4/...8).

I used to enjoy riding and listening to music through my Jabra Elite Active earbuds. Perfect earbuds for sports, great sound, active noise cancellation, waterproof, just perfect. Then one day I almost got killed because I failed to hear a truck behind me. Now I never ride with earbuds. I bought a small Jbl waterproof bluetooth speaker that I clip on my bike, and play music on it.

i have those and i just use one at a time, or use the pass through noise function. i can still hear cars fine.

I also have a pair of Jabra Elites. The AirPod pro 2s are so good it is no contest. Obvious downside is attachment to Apple ecosystem and some incompatibility with using as general Bluetooth device

What about just best noise cancellation? Sound quality is good obviously but I find that ANC is probably my most important feature. I have a set of Jabras and One Plus 3. The Jabras seems to have better ANC. Can’t remember the exact Jabras I have but something something elite, they were like $130 a year and a half ago.
