Jabra - Elite Active 65t True Wireless Earbud Headphones - Red Copper

Earlier this year got Jabra Elite 65t, and like it so much I got a pair of the Jabra Elite Active 65t for my spouse. The Active model (This) has better water-proofing (IP-56) and has a rubberized finish in both the earbuds and the charging case, which makes them less slippery when moist. Those are really the only discernible differences between these models. They're the same shape and weight. Also the Active has a motion sensor (As per documentation), but doesn't appear to do anything different, at least for now. (Tested with iOS). Jabra's 3rd generation truly wireless earphones are excellently executed. One of the few, and my first Bluetooth 5.0 headphones. BT 5.0 is used on iPhone 8 and X, and some newer Android phones, and also works perfectly with older phones. Pairing with an iPhone is straightforward, with good range and no drops. Newer phones with BT 5.0 can have better range and power efficiency. Batteries last about five hours and the case provides two extra charges (15 hours total, and takes about two hours to fully charge, and 15 minutes charge gives about 1 extra hour). They come with four microphones (two per unit) for excellent voice calls and noise conditioning. I've been using it almost daily for conference calls, and the sound, both from the earbuds and mics is as clear as it can be for a phone call. Because the earbuds have two mics on each unit, it used\s the mic array to compensate for wind noise while talking. The earphones come with three sizes of ear tips and provide a tight but comfortable fit, with a closed design for passive noise cancellation. The sound is very natural and detailed. Through the companion phone app, there is a five-band equalizer. Earpieces are relatively light and stay on. I find it comfortable to wear through the day. The left earpiece has two controls for volume and tracks, the right piece has a single button for play/pause and calls. The earbuds remember the last 8 paired Bluetooth devices, and they can actually connect to two devices simultaneously, for music and phone calls. While the phone provides a battery indicator for the earphones, the Jabra Sound+ app provides detailed battery info, the five-band EQ, lets you select the voice assistant when pressing the multi-function button on the right earpiece: Siri or Google depending on the phone or Amazon's Alexa (It works on both Android and iOS), and very neat features like HearThrough and Sidetone: HearThrough: While the headphones provide passive noise cancellation, HearThrough uses the microphones to let some of the external sounds in. This can be turned on or off by double-tapping the multi-function button or through the app, which lets adjust the amount of audio through. Sidetone: When on a voice call, adjusts how much of your own voice is fed back through the earphones. Then the little details is what makes these excellent earphones great. When taking the earphones off the case, they start pairing with the phone, and they turn off when back on the case. No fiddling with buttons to turn them on and off. When you pull off either earbud, it pauses music. Then when the earphones are again in close proximity of each other (ie in the ears) it resumes playing music. The case is small enough to fit in one hand. It has an LED next to the charge port to indicate charge levels, and another indicator between the earpieces that indicates their charge. The case can fit in the small side pocket of jeans. GN/Jabra is a Danish company that has been designing professional products for as long as I can remember, and their attention to detail and quality shows in this product.

I'm excited to write this review of my #1 earbuds - the Jabra Elite 65t! I had the product for roughly 3 weeks now - and waited a bit longer than normal to write my review to ensure I didn't find something wrong that I wasn't expecting - and the fact that I've been travelling a bit more lately! Let's get to it - hands down, the best workout (running, lifting, cardio-machine) earbuds I've tried. The overall design, a grippy finish and snug fit make them the most secure earbuds I've had in my ears thus far. Other earbuds I find myself readjusting about every 5-10 minutes to ensure a good fit or they start feeling loose - not these! Did I mention I sweat like crazy - yes - even in my ears. The IP56 rating makes these sweat-proof - and for added testing I've consistently worn them in the Lifetime Fitness steam room with excellent sound and results. No issues thus far with water what-so-ever! For sound quality - I find these produce a nice balanced sound that you can tweat a bit with the Jabra app. For truly wireless earbuds - I feel these produce the best sound of nearly any on the market - and I've tested many! The built-in accelerometer allows you to count steps or pause the music when you remove them from your ears (you can also double tap of the right ear button to allows ambient noise through - called HearThrough - so you can can have a conversation if needed while wearing them). The passive noise-cancelling feature is bonus and of course doesn't use precious battery life. Speaking of batteries, a full charge gives roughly 5 hours of play time and a quick charge feature can add 90 minutes of playtime in only a 15 min charge. I also love the charging case! I provides two functions for me - one helps me so I don't lose them (since they are pretty small) and also provide 2 additional full charges for those times when your travelling or camping and don't have a convenient plug-in nearby. As part of my job - I am on conference calls nearly all day. While I have a dedicated headset for this purpose, I thought I'd give the 65t's a try. I was pleasantly surprised at the audio quality, and my call recipients were equally impressed with my voice quality! While these will not replace my fulltime headset, they would work great as a substitute if needed! Overall - I'm very impressed with these earbuds and will promote to them to the coveted #1 spot on my go-to list. Nice job Jabra!

First, please look at the photo I uploaded. The box for the Jabra 65T is deceiving and makes these earphones look HUGE. They are small (see quarter for size) and fit snugly in your ear without any weird bits hanging off the side like you have decided to wear rechargeable toothbrush heads in your ears. Now... review. In the box. Earphones, Charging Case, USB cable, additional tips, instruction leaflet. The tips out of the box worked for me, no need to change. Pairing on my iPhone was straight-forward. After you connect it prompts you to install a Jabra app. You are able to listen to music and make calls without the app, but the app is needed for software updates. Notably, the pairing voice is a real human sound, not those weird computerized voices you get on other devices. Audio Quality. This is the BIG Thing. Audio quality is amazing. Having rubber seals these are great for noise isolation and as a result, deliver great audio sound (tested on Spotify) and call audio. Noise isolation is AMAZING on these that they almost feel like noise canceling - one of the reasons the app has pass-through mode option. Call Quality. Call quality is excellent but note that only the right earbud is the microphone. Controls: Left earphone. The Jabra silver thing is a physical button. You can use it to adjust the volume. One direction volume up, the other volume down. A longer hold lets you skip tracks. Right earphone. Long hold pairs. A quick tap pauses music or answers/disconnects calls. A 1 second hold launches Siri. You can't change your voice assistant but it promises "Alexa coming soon" in the app. Yes, the Jabra 65Ts automatically pause music when you remove them from your ear. Negatives. The only reason I deducted a star is that the earphones case doesn't hold the Jabra 65Ts snug/magnetically. The kind of just sit on top of the case. There's no risk the case will open (it locks tight) and when it closes the earphones make a solid connection with the charger. But I WISH the earphones attached magnetically when in the case. A few times I opened it the wrong way and the 65Ts spilled onto the floor. Verdict. Love them. Works flawlessly with my iPhone. Love the slim profile. The pink noise feature in the app is awesome but also love the ocean waves (peace and quiet in the office!) Jabra - make a better case and I'll give you a 5! Let's talk!

So I have had my Jabra - Elite Active 65t for about 2 months so far so good. I use the four my daily NYC commute on the train and although there not noice cancelling ear buds the Jabra - Elite Active 65t help to element must of the nose of the train will listening to music.

I never had a pair of Apple airpods and this is my first pair of truly wireless headphones. So far i am in love, primarily use them for music throughout my day at work (IT) and at the gym. I've taken a few calls and i can hear the convo clear and they hear me clearly, they can hear outside noise (surprisingly not wind) like others talking in the background depending on distance. For quick calls they are good, i wouldn't use them as bluetooth headset replacements. At the gym, i've played basketball (just shooting and driving to the rim, no full games) ran on the treadmill and my regular workout. So far they have no fell out once. The earbuds do get moist so every 30 min or so i take em out wipe the sweat off on my shirt just to make sure they won't fall but still no issues. I have no ran outside as i don't carry my phone for runs. Connectivity... i dont recall them dropping connections yet. i've left my phone by the bench and went 50 feet at least and no static or dropped music. Still researching whether i can hook up 2 phones if possible.. Battery wise... i charge twice a week if that, workouts last an hour and some change while use at work might be limited to 1.5 hours in the day and thats not everyday i wear them. Comfortability is 4/5 i would never wear them all day as my ears would be sore. i use the smallest buds provided. Overall very happy, cost is comparable as +-$50 can get you another variety of headphones from other vendors. Nice that there black as well people think i was secret service when taking phone calls more discrete than white airpods (wish they came in black) Hope this review helps others. Had them for 3 weeks and no issues. Check the photo out for size comparison, very compact.

Great ear buds although I did replaced the ear tips with snugger fitting ear buds; the ones that come with it don’t stay securely in the ear.

I go through a lot of earphones and usually despise Bluetooth but I decided to give these a shot for the noise reduction feature. Ever since I had bought them, these have converted me into a believer! I use them for my studies for the noise reduction and play the “perfect storm” soundscape feature found in the free app to block out noise at low volume to help me concentrate. I cannot hear my wife if she stands right next to me talking! There is also a “hear through” feature where it act as if it was a active hearing aid that happens to play music as well if you’re using it for running. I also use it while riding my motorcycle, it sticks in your ear like glue! Highly recommended!

So far so good, it’s good when am working out. The only problem is the range. You can only walk away few steps before Bluetooth start to lose service
