Elite Sport

I have the discontinued Jabra Elite Sport and warranties two pairs in about three years because one earbud would basically stop working. I was convinced it was software related so my most recent pair was never connected to the Jabra app and I’ve never updated the software. That was November 2021 and they’re still working 🤞

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.

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..

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.
