"i had a set of elite 4 actives which i bought because of the waterproof rating ... i wear them literally to go to the sauna where i sit for hours, then have a shower with them in then go into the plunge pool (all the way under) then back into the sauna. i do this daily for about an hour or 2 they lasted about 9 months of that which i thought was pretty impressive honestly, most other earbuds die pretty fast in those environments."

Not tryna hijack this thread but any recommendation in the the RM 300 range would be appreciated.Can stretch upto RM500 if the quality difference is a lot..Have a Jabra elite 4 active,can't say I need much more in terms of sound,maybe better ANC would be nice..However,something which can last would be good.my Jabras mic on the left earpod got spoilt twice..Rosak once,sent for warranty,they sent me a new one,not long after new ones mic got spoilt on the left earbud again..Have to admit,didn't just magically get spoilt,it dropped a few times but y always the left earbuds mic?lol.terima kasih utk apa2 cadangan wahai putera puteri reddit 🙏

r/AutisticWithADHDBest noise reducing headphones I don’t love the ones I bought
5 months ago

do you want headphones/earphones or earplugs? loops are earplugs, they have different intensity levels based on the model and they work well for what they are, but they only filter noise, don't block it completely if you want to actually block out all sounds you want noise cancelling, which you won't get in earplugs but only in headphones/earphones. the rule of thumb with these is that noise cancelling earphones, that go in your ear like earplugs, will give you better noice cancelling for cheaper when compared to over-ear headphones. the model I've personally used and can recommend is jabra elite 4 active, I've used them for about a year but lost them and got the elite 8 active model instead, but I feel like the 4s had better noice cancelling than the 8s, even though it's an older model

Yeah the 75ts are the ones I got first and fell in love with. Then I got the Jabra 3 elites and then the Jabra 4 actives. The only reason I got new ones is I lost the other ones. I now have an air tag on them. The best.

I have had a few sets and so far so good, i had a set of elite 4 actives which i bought because of the waterproof rating, i wear them literally to go to the sauna where i sit for hours, then have a shower with them in then go into the plunge pool (all the way under) then back into the sauna. i do this daily for about an hour or 2 they lasted about 9 months of that which i thought was pretty impressive honestly, most other earbuds die pretty fast in those environments. they technically still work but they have started getting a little funky in the software department. I have a pair of elite 7 active which i use as sleep buds because theyre low profile and again, no issues, sometimes the process of updating is a little weird but like, it does it... eventually, By comparison i got a pair of XM4's and they had something wrong with the speaker that made it sound like there was a ringing whenever i moved my head, coughed etc. Sony gave me the run around on those even though its a well documented issue I have also just sent back a pair of Momentum TW3 because one earbud just like, died, wont charge any more, those also had a really dicky case where if the buds got just a little bit of ear crud on them they wouldnt charge - again a well known and documented issue, all you had to do was clean the buds and theyd work again but like, i shouldnt have to play roulette once every 2 - 3 weeks on whether my buds will work. Last pair ill comment on is Momentum TW2's, they were pretty good and i still use them but when i work out in them, sometimes one ear will like, lose power, not totally, its still playing but theres no bass, the volume is low, then randomly 2 - 3 mins later they go normal again then they die again and repeat... it was really weird. TLDR: Jabra have been good to me in the 3 pairs i have owned, by comparison every time i spend 400 - 500 on a pair of buds (AUD) they have been pretty fuckin trash..

r/EarbudsBest earbuds for calls
7 months ago

I’d go with the Jabra Elite 4 Active with clear mic, comfy fit, and great battery under 100€. If budget allows, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro deliver excellent call and music quality. Skip budget ENC buds, the mics usually disappoint. Also, check the sound out on AudioTones .co before buying super useful to hear the difference.

r/EarbudsSports Earbuds recommendations?

Honestly, if you want something that just won’t fall out, go with the Beats Fit Pro those wing tips hug your ears and stay locked in even when you’re pushing hard, plus you get solid ANC and that classic Apple/Beats sound. If you’d rather keep things closer to budget, the Jabra Elite 4 Active are super comfy, sweatproof, and tuned for workouts without feeling bulky. Both are easy recommendations. check them out on [audiotones.co](http://audiotones.co) before you buy so you know which vibe fits you best.

r/JabraWhat buds are people going for now we can't go for Jabra?
3 months ago

I was happy with my Jabra Elite 4 Active but suddenly, after about a year, one of them lost volume after a couple of seconds of use. I got a pair of JBL Live Pro 2 instead. I like everything about them but not the fit. It feels like they're about to slip out any second. I wouldn't dare running or anything like it with them. Would love a clone of the old Jabra, the fit was great.

Anker A3i are on the cheaper side and work perfectly. I accidentally lost them so my lovely partner is letting me borrow their Jabra Elite 4 Active and those are alright. Good but not as good. I don't like that the quietest setting still feels so loud but for noise cancelling they're good

r/adhdwomenEarbuds with noise cancelling for small ears?
10 months ago

me too, sort of! the inside of my ears is small but my ears overall are probably average size. Across all the pairs of wired earphones I've come across with usually 3 size options of silicone tips, I've only found 2 pairs that had a size that was small enough for me. Held onto one of those little silicone tips for so long and used them with many pairs of earphones over the years. I think I've lost them now, but either way they don't fit on airpods which is what I mostly use now. I have Jabbra Elite Active 4s which are horribly uncomfortable - the body is so bulky and hard and sits in your ear and it causes so much pain. I much prefer the shape and weight of the airpods, but it still isn't perfect. airpod pros are a bit better I think, but pretty far out of my budget. Also, I have become quite conscious of sound quality. A lot of reviews these days don't talk about sound quality or compare the sound quality to any meaningful benchmark. Noise cancelling is a bonus feature but not a necessity for me. Anyways. I mostly just came here to rant about how uncomfortable earphones are. and how few options we actually have, despite this whole capitalism bs. they're all the same old bs and most of them don't even sound good. But there's no good way to research any of it since the lies and advertising are so entrenched

Jabra Elite Active 4 and Active 8. I've been using both during hiking, mountaineering, cycling, travelling, home chores, workouts, bouldering/climbing gym and mostly road- and trailrunning and love them. Battery life is really good for both (5hrs v4 and 8hrs v8), sound quality is great (v8 better than v4, Equalizer can be adjusted in the app) and they sit comfortably (4 better than 8 in my ears). The pairing works very well with a great Bluetooth range, the ear pieces can be used independently (i.e. using only one during running, or sharing ear pieces with a friend for listening together). The active 8 also allows you to freely map commands to the button on the ear pieces (start/stop current song, skipping song, activate/deactivate ANC/hearthrough etc.). Also the Active 8 is completely waterproof. I once accidentally went showering while wearing them and the pieces were just fine. Sadly they are not produced anymore but some high quality used pieces can still be found on ebay etc. (just saw some Active 4 in good quality for 44€ the other day).
