Jabra - Elite Sport

I had a pair of their Elite Sport earbuds that were ok daily use for six years, but Jabra has stopped development of their consumer earbuds segment which includes the Elite lineup. So Jabra isn't an option anymore.

I've burned thru Bose, Jaybirds, Sennheisers, the sweat seems to kill them but I was running a LOT. 5 marathons, 8 halfs, countless 5 and 10ks. I am running less now but the Jabra elite sports seem to still work. All of them required me to wipe down and readjust during longer runs.

Jabra elite fit or sport or whatever they call em have been absolute champs for me.

The only issue with Jabra is they have basically stopped producing buds (other than one business model); so support will go away. I had bought one of thier sport models a few years ago that measured heart beat and VO2, amazing product but app will no longer works as of about 2 years ago.. Jabra has always been my go to so sad they made the pivot..

I like my Jabra Elite Sport.

Jabra Elite Sport. I get very sweaty and they stay put. Haven’t tried swimming in them.

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!

Not the Shokz ones, that's for sure. I actually \*like\* music. (Just lolz!) Kidding aside, I'm wildly fussy when it comes to earbuds. I've had some more expensive ones like Jabra Elites and others, but they always fail within a year, and I have truthfully never found anything better sounding and longer lasting through daily sweat, snow, and accidental washing/drying than the lowly $25 JLAB GO POP+. YMMV of course. I OTOH will die on this hill.

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.

I just learned that Jabra discontinued their consumer lines. It sucks. My old Elite's batteries are starting to be really weak and I wanted to upgrade with new ones 😫
