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..

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!
