"great seal I get from them ... a big part of the ANC effectiveness ... so for me its the fit/seal for both ANC and sound quality"


"the ANC is the best ive used. ... the ANC still is better in my Jabras"


"They have "hear through mode" that allows me to hear outside noise while I am riding."

"they’ve never fallen out of my ears while being active - they actually turn off when they’re almost accidentally wiggled loose after a long intense training sesh."


"fit & sound is # 1 for me because I use them working out ... haven't found another set yet that meets my requirement of fit/sound. ... the fit is perfect and really good while I workout."

"the batteries never run out before I get annoyed and remove them. Which can take over 3 hours."


"my buds are supposed to get 7 hours but I’ve gotten 9. They’ve never died on me"


"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."

"The earbuds with the best bass I've ever used are the Jabra 75T. ... They literally make my ears vibrate, and the best thing is it's clean and doesn't ruin the rest of the sound quality"


"I preferred the clarity and bass on my Jabra's ... not on the level of bass as the 75ts"


"if you like music with heavy bass these absolutely rip."

I used to have the 75s and now I have the elite 5s. They have a new feature that solves the wind issue. I don't use them for running, but if I'm on the phone walking my dog and it's windy, it automatically adjusts the hear through microphones When it gets windy. Id imagine any of the new jabras will have the same feature

Jabra Elite Active 75t. Best running headphones I've owned.

I've been really happy with my Jabras. My vote stick with them

Ugh. Yeah I want to love these ones after spending $200 but I also prefer my Jabra pair. I'm hoping an update will fix the worst issue I'm noticing like you mentioned - constantly cutting in and out from side to side almost like head tracking, which I definitely have toggled off, especially when I'm biking.

If you want something more budget friendly that definitely stay in, Soundcore Sport X20. I had Jabra Active 75 which were ok but definitely still fell out from time to time. Replaced them recently with the Soundcores and have been very impressed.

r/JabraMoving on from Jabra earbuds and would love some help!
8 months ago

because the Jabras are fantastic, I have the Jabra Elite Active 75t Earbuds and I'm so hesitant to move on from them especially because fit & sound is # 1 for me because I use them working out. haven't found another set yet that meets my requirement of fit/sound. Too bad the company is essentially gone so they're no longer getting updates. They work perfectly though

Buddy, i would sell one of my kids to get my hands on a pair of these again. They were by far the best buds i owned. I unfortunately lost one to an airplane seat and looked every where for a new set

I had the same Jabras for two years until the right earbud stopped charging. I got the elite active 8s to replace them. I love them just as much as the 75 T. Both pairs have been the most comfortable earbuds I've ever worn so I'd be hesitant to try another higher-end set from another brand... but will have to eventually since Jabra has stopped making new earbuds. They do block a lot of noise even when the ANC is off, so if you need to be able to hear cars and you didn't like the hearthrough from Jabra, you may want to keep looking.

I have these and a pair of Jabra Elite Active 75t. The Jabra is a few years older and still prefer them over these

r/BuyItForLifeWhat are some good wireless earbud suggestions? (With oddly specific preferences)

Yeah I had the 75ts for about three years before I switched to 85t, which I still use. The best pair I've had. I'm now having a similar dilemma as OP on choosing my next pair.
