  • By far the best I’ve used for cycling
So happy I bought these! I’m an avid cyclist and I’ve used many headphones over the years. Cycling presents a couple of unique challenges for headphones: Wind Noise - always pretty deafening, which means to listen to anything (mostly audiobooks or podcasts for me), you have to crank the volume up to be able to hear over the wind noise Secure fit - I usually have to push them in further many times during a ride because ear buds tend to work themselves out as you ride - both for fear of them falling out but alway for the wind noise - it gets worse when not fully inserted Durability - Cycling is surprisingly rough on ear buds- they don’t last very long. Probably because of the sweat, the temperature swings (I ride through the winter) and the rain We’ll see how they do for durability, but they claim they are the toughest buds on the market. As for wind noise and fit, they are fantastic. They somehow stay firmly in place in my ears like no others that I’ve tried - without using any sort of earhooks. They just don’t move at all - which is great. Not once have i ever felt the need to push them in further during a ride. For wind noise, it is such a joy to have that substantially attenuated. Much better than the AirPod Pro’s (gone through 2 pairs) and the Soundcore Liberty 4’s I was using - all of which have failed in less than a year. I also have a pair of Sony WF-1000XM5’s, which are downright spooky in their ability to block out wind noise, but those are definitely not suited for cycling. It’s so nice to not have to crank up the volume to listen what I want to listen to! These are also the only earbuds I’ve ridden with where i could adjust the volume while riding. I love the feel of the buttons - they click, which I like more than the more common capacitive touch buttons on most others. Best app I’ve seen yet for any of my headphones. Sound quality is good, but definitely not in the same league as my Sony WF-1000XM5’s, but for cycling headphones I don’t care about that. Off the bike, I have a secondary use for these - to block out my wife’s snoring at night. They excel at that job as well - the noise cancelling is very powerful - not too far short of my Sony’s, but easily enough to block out the snoring. But the fit is a surprising benefit here as well as on the bike - i don’t have to worry at all about them falling out while im sleeping, which is not the case with any of my other earbuds. They are also supremely comfortable - i can barely even tell that I’m wearing them - which is a big deal if you intend to sleep with them. Lastly, battery life is excellent. With noise cancelling on, they easily make it through the night (which my AirPod Pro’s could not do). We’ll see how they hold up for durability, but if Jabra’s claims are true about these being the toughest earbuds around, they should hold up. Incredibly happy with these - HIGHLY recommended, and for cyclists, the best you can buy! ... show more

  • Fantastic earbuds
As background, I primarily use earbuds for exercising (weightlifting, cycling, circuit training, etc) so the most important thing to me is that they stay in my ears no matter how drenched in sweat I get. I’ve used many different earbuds over the years and these are by far my favorite and have well surpassed my expectations. Fit: The coating on the earbuds makes them feel glued into place even when sweaty, fit is snug but very comfortable, have had zero issues with these right out of the box. Battery life: These things just won’t die. Have been using daily (2 hours on average) for about two weeks on one full charge and the case is still at 50% (using ANC the entire time). I haven’t had to use yet but the quick charge feature is a fantastic addition. Sound quality: I won’t claim to be an audiophile but I do love music and IMO these have great range for what they are and far surpass my ancient galaxy buds and much newer airpod pros. ANC completely eliminates all distracting gym noises (inconsiderate people talking on their phones, group fitness instructors yelling and playing crappy music, etc), and the pass thru mode works great as well if you’re working out with a partner or need to hear your surroundings (e.g., cycling). The app has a nice equalizer function that lets you set custom presets, in addition to the standard ones that come preloaded. Other notable features: Very long range - bluetooth connectivity does not drop even when all the way across a crowded gym from my phone. Case is nice and compact and works with wireless charging. The app allows you to highly customize the controls on each earbud and has the option to use just one earbud at a time which is nice to have if you plan to use for calls. Note that I don’t use earbuds much for calls so can’t really comment on call quality. Bottom line, if you’re looking for comfortable earbuds that won’t fall out, will last you weeks between charges, have all the latest techy features and sound great…you will love these. ... show more

  • Jabra fails to stand behind their product
My left earbud starting emitting a constant whine and was unusable after about 4 months. I spent three days working with Jabra who finally said I should make a warranty claim. In the end they said I bought it from the wrong place and wouldn't honor the warranty I registered it for when I bought it. Thankfully Amazon is helping get a refund. The website for Jabra is difficult to use and I will never deal with them again. ... show more

  • Fantastic for Working Out (or anything else)
These are fantastic. I got them because I wanted a pair of good running earbuds. I normally prefer wired headphones, but my current wired earbuds are wearing out and it's becoming harder to find quality replacements as everyone transitions to wireless. A key requirement for me in both wireless and wired earbuds is that they stay firmly in my ears even when I'm running or working out. In the past I've tried a few wireless earbuds and have been disappointed in either the sound quality, or the controls, or both. These are fantastic. The things I love best about them are: - They are made of a grippy material, so they stay locked in my ears, regardless of what I'm doing - The on-bud controls are real physical, tactile buttons (i.e., rather than touch interfaces). This is great as it keeps you from accidentally activating them when adjusting the earbuds (e.g., as happened constantly with my Galaxy Buds +) - They sound fantastic. So much so that I've stopped using my wired earbuds at all. I still prefer quality over-the-ear headphones for critical listening, but for anything else these work very well - The battery lasts a long time. I'm not sure how long exactly, but I've never had these run out of power on me - The Bluetooth connection is solid and reliable In addition, I've found that the ANC (active noise cancellation) and hear-through modes on this are both very good. There are certain rare situations where the ANC doesn't work very well (e.g., when weed-eating), in which case I just turn that feature off. Their passive sound rejection is also very good. ... show more

  • So so happy :) yet disappointed :(
Absolutely perfect for it's intended use! In fact, the best I've ever found. But... I've been a Jabra fan for a few years. First, Elite 75T and then 85T. No earbud is awesome at everything but 85T was the best overall pic for features important to me. One big exception, exercise. I've been on a hunt for the best budget earbuds for when active and after a long journey, all roads brought me back home to Jabra. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I wouldn't use all day long. I was simply looking for something that would stay well in my ears, have a good sound and loud volume. But then the Cyber Monday happened so I couldn't resist going slightly over budget. And I'm so freaking glad! Elite 8 Actives go in ear with ease and just stay in! They don't feel big or tight in the ear yet they seal super well and require a nice pull to come out. I don't know precisely how Jabra accomplished this but I don't care, all I know is that it's flawless for me! The volume goes up quite high as long as Spacial Audio is not on. I am not an audiophile but I find the sound of these fantastic! I use the Energize EQ setting as my favorite for 90% of what I listen to. Call quality has been great for callers on the other end. ANC is pretty good. So why 4 stars instead of 5... Mostly due to the app downgrade. With a newer product, one could hope that you would get what used to be, plus some upgrades. But instead, now it's less... 1. With 85Ts, the Sound+ app has the MySound feature. It's where both ears can get tested individually for which frequencies they may or not be able to hear. And the app adjusts them for each ear accordingly. Incredible feature for some of us who may have slight hearing issues with one or both ears. Blows my mind that Jabra would take that away on both 8 Active and Elite 10. It made such a huge difference for me. 2. When on a call, I am no longer able to toggle between ANC/Hearthrough/Off modes by pressing the button on the left earbud. Not sure why Jabra would assume that I would automatically want ANC when on a call ugh... Just can't fathom why that decision was made for both Elite 8 Active and Elite 10. 3. No more Sound modes. Unlike 85T, the app does not offer 3 fully customizable modes for Elite 8 Active and Elite10. It's a bummer. All this being said... Elite 8 Actives deliver exactly as described and promoted by Jabra. My complaints are strictly based on what I was previously accustomed to and should not be relevant to anyone considering a Jabra product for the first time. If you are looking for a solid set of comfortable earbuds that stay well in ears, offer awesome sound, battery life and call quality as well as pretty good ANC, I'm quite confident that you will love the Jabra Elite 8 Active especially if you're someone who is very active. Oh and of course, actual buttons rather than fidgety, hypersensitive touch controls? Yeah, it's awesome.... Enjoy! ... show more

  • Price Point does not jibe with Quality
I was looking for a replacement for my Jaybird Vista 2's (which Logitech discontinued). Those were the ultimate in sport earbud: fit, noise cancelling, and durability. However, the case was the Achilles heel, and probably something Logitech didn't want to fix (thus the discontinuation.) I had heard great things about the Jabra Elite line of earbuds but was sorely disappointed. On at least three occasions (running, cycling, and simply walking around the kitchen, bending down to get a pan or something else), the earbuds came out of my ear canal. What's worse, after getting what I thought was the correct fit using the included earbud adjustment kit, they still fell out. On sound: I use the earbuds during activity but also on my morning commute for language practice. While music playback seemed good (some incidental noise came through the noise cancelling feature), the spoken word in these earbuds sounds like its coming through a tin can. Very tinny sound, with poor ringing in the background. Again, I really was excited to use these but sorely disappointed at fit and overall sound quality. I could have gotten the same fit and sound quality at a fraction of the price. ... show more

  • Still great after all these years.
I bought these back in 2024. They have held up masterfully. I don't have a lot of comparison so sound quality but they sound great to me. Fairly easy to use, I wish there was a volume controll on the buds tho. The materials are tough and alligator skin but gentle in my ear. The fit is pecfect and I can carry them around very easily. I like the look of them and they are barely noticeable in my ear. I hate that jabra stopped making them. ... show more

  • Best earbuds I've owned (after nearly a dozen)
These are by far and away the best earbuds I've ever owned. #1 They fit flush in the ears and I can sleep on them (for flights) #2 The battery life is enough for most trips, and they charge reliably in the carrying case (not all do) #3 Passthrough sound isn't marvelous, but it works #4 Noise cancelling isn't the world's greatest, but it does well #5 Connection is rock solid. I never have a distance issue. They work further than my Bose headset, which is great. Sometimes, only one earbud will connect (you can use one at a time if you want, which is also nice) but simply replacing both in the case, and then pulling them back out again guarantees both will connect, every time (second time, every time ;) #6 The carrying case is USB C. They should all be by now, but some cheaper models still aren't. #7 The microphone is outstanding. Small background sounds aren't heard by parties on the other end of the line, neither are mild chewing sounds from the wearer. In short, they are the best web meeting headset I've ever used, and they're earbuds. #8 They can handle multiple connections and seamlessly switch. They do a very good job at this as well. #9 You can run with them in and they don't fall out. I can shake my head violently and they manage to stay in. I would have to really work to shake them out. Fantastic. They don't score a 10 from me for music, as the tones are not deep and rich, but for calls, web meetings and exercising, they are 'perfect' for me. ... show more
