Great headphones!
I bought these headphones to replace an old set of Jabra headphones that weren’t charging anymore above 60% (other than that worked great) and I needed them to last longer. These are more than one generation away from what I had and what a difference! They fit great (so did my old ones, though). I love the noise cancellation and that I can turn it on and off with just a press of a button on the headphones. The sound is high quality. The only thing that I needed to get used to (and it didn’t affect my review) is I need to peel out both earbuds from the charger at the same time. If I do one at a time, only one will connect to my device(s) if I’m not fast enough getting the second one out. I do not like the “feel” of only hearing out of one earbud, but that’s just me. It is quickly remedied, though by putting them back in for a few seconds (literally) and then taking them both out (at the same time as much as possible). I’ve gotten good at it, and it isn’t a problem anymore. I wanted to mention this as I read other reviews complaining about only one working. This may, or may not be their issue, but in case you experience this, maybe give this a try. Love them!!!

Durability is no joke!
I purchased these end of October 2024 for the reviews on durability. Additionally I have a Jabra headset Evolve2 85 and love them, but wanted something for exercising.I have small ear openings and was a little concerned on fit. These are surprisingly snug and comfortable. Call and sound quality are very comparable to the E285 headset. The wind cancelling on the Elite 8 Actives has room for improvement. It’s weird –like switches between hear through and ANC. It’s is not a deal breaker for me.Where these earbuds shine is durability. These are my first earbuds that I did not immediately return. Other brands never fit right or were uncomfortable and were always returned. So how durable?They’ve been through the washing machine.Twice.Yes twice.Both buds and case.Yes, I should have learned the first time to check my pockets.Sound is still awesome. Calls are still awesome. They do need to be dried or the bass sounds like a water drum–kinda awesome but not intended. Either the usual dry process of stuffed in a sock in a no heat dryer or just leave out for a day or two.So impressed! Would buy again and would recommend!

Beyond Disappointing
I have had these earbuds for 4 months. At first I loved them. They are very comfortable and the sound is clear on my end but no one can hear me at all. It has been extremely disruptive and embarrassing. I am a professor and doctoral student. Most of my meetings are on zoom and I have had a few very embarrassing assessments that made me look extremely unprofessional because I could not be heard. I had such high hopes for these earbuds and they have not only disappointed me, but set me up for professional failure.

Best ear buds on the market
These are the BEST ear buds and worth the investment. I had been looking for a new pair to withstand workouts/running outdoors that were safe, daily use at work, and easy reliability to connect to multiple devices (laptop, Garmin watch) with different operating systems. These are the best.I used airpods for a while which were a fail — if you’re an apple user that cares mostly about aesthetic purposes, sure use those. They’re expensive, fail to connect across multiple devices and OS, and eventually break. I tried JBL to see if they had a good quality for a decent price but they are good for walking or in general, limited movement.Again, these are the best. They even pause when I take one out of my ear momentarily. The mic is great on calls, even when wearing my hair down (others either couldn’t pick up my sound, or the connection was unreliable because of my hair since I wear it down.)I love these and will buy again in the next few years when the tech is upgraded.

Very disappointed
Fit: I got these because the reviews and research I had read said theyâd be good for small ears- they truly arenât. They fall out ALL the time no matter how many times I adjust them, especially for being my workout headphones super disappointed with that but I know I have very small ears- so I canât fault the company for that.Value for money: letâs just say this is one of the most expensive pair of earbuds I have ever bought and I thought Iâd be getting more bang for my buck- so far not impressed.Quality: the thing I am most upset about honestly is the fact that they are advertised as exercise headphones meant to be sweat proof and my left earbud completely stopped working after a MONTH of having them. For a while the speaker went in and out and when it came in it sounded like I was underwater but now itâs just completely out and for how much I paid for them Iâm extremely frustrated.Charging: the charging case worked great for a bit- now the earbuds decide when they want to charge or not so super fun on my part but when it did work they had a great battery life- still do except for the fact that one of my headphones doesnât work.Overall aesthetics of the earbuds are nice theyâre very cute, blend well with my skin tone and are pretty sleek as far as the case goes it fits in my gym bag really well but now I feel like I have a $100+ paperweight.

Best ear buds
These are the best ears buds, these are my second pairs of jabra but these are for my wife and she loved the color and said it has good quality. Iâve used for work and no damage even when sweating. These have lasted me for more than a year still sound like brand new

The Best Earbuds
Jabra are the most comfortable earbuds for my ears, which are a little smaller than average. These are usable in the shower, while working out, have a long battery life and great sound. I have had at least eight pairs of Jabras over many years and these are worth it for the features. Love them.

Lo primero que tienes que saber de estos audÃfonos es que tienen un botón…. y eso hace toda la diferencia… El poder oprimir un botón con las configuraciones que tú mismo hiciste en la app es una bendición, más cuando estás en la calle y prefieres tener el teléfono guardado.Por default tienen configurado que al dejar apretado sube/baja el volumen (depende qué audÃfono oprimas), ya de ahpi puedes elegir entre saltar canción, abrir spotify o Anc. Alcanza hasta para configurarlas todas con las opciones que ofrece la app.La ANC es muy buena, (no es la mejor mejor que existe), pero sà hay una notable diferencia entre la transparencia y la cancelación de ruido, eso se agradece cuando quieres interactuar con personas a tu alrededor sin quitarte los audÃfonos. Sin embargo sà puedo decir que si tu prioridad es eso, a lo mejor estos audÃfonos no son la mejor opción.La calidad de audio es buena, pero tampoco es la mejor que he probado. Sólo es buena. Los audÃfonos son muy buenos para podcast o audiolibros, la música no se oye mal, pero he disfrutado mejor calidad con los Sony.La app es muy customizable, los audÃfonos son sumamente cómodos, y para llamadas, son maravillosos.Si los quieres usar para videoconferencias o llamadas estos audÃfonos son tu opción: el micrófono es bueno, pero la mejor parte es que puedes configurar a que con los botones apagues micrófono de los audÃfonos o reduzcas el ruido a tu alrededor. Eso tambn es comodÃsimo.El estuche es perfecto, tiene 2 focos: 1 para indicar al baterÃa de los audÃfonos y otro para la del estuche mismo. Les dura bastante, en conjunto me parece son cerca de 40 hrs.Y para terminar, algo que vi en mis investigaciones que no incluye en la descripción de amazon es que tienen IP68, en teorÃa podrÃas meterte a bañar con ellos y todo bien. No lo he intentado, pero la idea me tranquiliza para estos tiempos de lluvia. La caja tambn tiene un IP alto (IP57).En fin, no me arrepiento de la compra, sólo que creo que no valen más de $3,500 MXN

I use these mainly for walking, both music and phone calls. Music is great, watch with the ANC because you don’t hear much when it’s on. Hear through works nicely if you stop and talk to someone. Love the new wind cancelling.The most amazing feature, in my opinion is the mic. Most people do not know I’m calling them from outside while I’m walking unless I’m next to a highway or something. For suburban walking, it’s perfect to walk and talk to people.Can’t believe how little I have to charge them. I walk 90+ minutes a day and charge less than once a week. I think I’m only charging because I feel I have to. Worth the money in my opinion.

Sound quality is the best I have found. Fit is fantastic and I have tried several other manufacturers. Finally an earbud purchase I donât regret.

Los compré para correr. Investigué mucho sobre las mejores opciones para hacer ejercicio y estos estaban en todas las listas. Confirmo que son súper resistentes, tienen bajos muy buenos, no se caen para nada, tienen buen bloqueo de sonido ambiental y son súper bonitos!! Son caros pero valen la pena ðð¼

I use jabra for yearsAnd even though itâs pricey you get what you pay for.Super happy with this generation – especially since you can use each earbud one at a time. And my old jabras couldnât do thatBut the colour⦠I got cream.Looks nothing like the pictureLooks like an ugly brown / orangeSuch a shameEnough for the one star⦠thatâs how bad the colour is
