Customer Ratings & Reviews

Since getting Jabra’s 85t earbuds in 2020, they’ve remained at the top of my list for in-ear wireless earbuds. While I’ve tried a number of competitors, I keep coming back to Jabra for 3 core reasons: comfort, sound quality, and functionality. A key reason they are so comfortable is the use of oval ear gels, which prevent them from completely sealing off the ear canal and creating a feeling that is caused by occlusion, which is the blockage of the ear canal. Most earbuds rely on a good seal to produce deep bass, but Jabra went a different route for the 85t, and I love it, but while I loved it, I was concerned that this would be a “one and done”. Not to worry, the new Elite 10 brings back all that was good about the 85t, and then makes them better. Initial pairing is super easy, although my left earbud was completely discharged when it arrived, requiring me to charge the buds before I could get started. Even as simple as Jabra makes pairing, it took a few tries before it actually worked. Initially, only one or the other of the buds would pair, but after a few tries I got both paired up and they’ve been good to go ever since. Oddly enough (I’m not making this up), the earbuds disconnected and reconnected while typing this! As an 85t fan, I’ve loved the sound quality of those earbuds, especially using AAC on an iPhone. Jabra’s marketing touted improved sound, so I was excited to find out if that would be true. Sound quality is a very subjective thing, but to my ear, the Elite 10 earbuds really do sound much better. The soundstage seems wider, and the overall tone is crisper, with sharper highs and more defined mids. The bass is as good as ever—solid, but not muddy, and not the pounding bass that you find on some of the more bass-heavy earbuds. The Elite 10 has a balanced sound with just enough focus on the highs to make the overall experience much better than before. One of the big new features this time around is Spatial Sound with Dolby Head Tracking, courtesy of Dolby Atmos. I’ve seen several professional reviewers raving about this, so I was really looking forward to experiencing it for myself. I even found songs that were remastered in spatial audio to test out this new feature. The idea is that you’re supposed to feel like you’re in the middle of the sound, with notes coming at you from all directions. With spatial sound turned on, it did feel a little like the sound was in front and to the sides of me, but not decidedly so. It made sounds seem more distant, not as loud, and maybe even with a little less definition. With head tracking on, turning my head to the right made most of the sound shift to my left year, and the reverse was also true. I’m not sure why that’s a good thing. Why do I want to pretend like the sound source is directly in front of me? This only made me want to keep my head still. Ultimately, I didn’t like the compromises required of these features, so I’ve turned them both off for now. If you’re going to take advantage of spatial sound, make sure you’re using the latest version of the app on your phone. Since I already own 2 other pairs of Jabra earbuds, I have the Sound+ app. I assumed that this would seamlessly welcome the addition of the Elite 10s, but that was not the case. The ability to turn on/off spatial sound did not show up until I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Keep that in mind before you lose time like I did trying to find the right setting in the app. Do the Elite 10s have 2 times better ANC? Well, it might be 2 times better than Jabra standard ANC, but it’s not 2 times better than that found on the 85t. In fact, I could not find any difference from the ANC on the 85t. Jabra touts “comfortably better sound”, and this is probably my favorite feature of these earbuds. I’m a big fan of the oval ear gels, as I said above, and these are truly the most comfortable earbuds I’ve ever worn. Jabra continues to utilize physical buttons as opposed to touch-sensitive, and I’m glad. Physical buttons can be used with gloves, and accidental presses are almost nonexistent. I was pleased to find that the latest versions of the buttons are a bit more sensitive (in a good way), but still not overly sensitive. Call quality is on par with previous versions, although some reviewers have complained about the ANC not being very effective during calls. I found the ANC to be more than adequate for my needs, and my callers told me I sounded just fine. If you’re going to be making calls in noisy situations regularly, you may want to investigate this in further depth. If you’re currently using the Elite 85t, should you upgrade? I’m pretty happy with the improvements in sound quality, and the new smaller size and coating make them feel premium. But ANC is virtually indistinguishable from the 85t, and the older model is very comfortable in its own right, and sounds very good as well. So, you’ll need to decide if those incremental improvements are worth $250. If you’re in the market for new earbuds, you can’t do much better than these, and I highly recommend them. In the end, we buy earbuds to listen to music, right? Listening to music on the Elite 10s is wonderful!

I love the Buds, the larger drive makes a big difference.

Great set of wireless headphones. The best ones yet.

Average sounding buds might just be me as they don't fit very well.

I lost one earpiece, and it was too expensive to replace. Bummer. Plus, the earpiece didn't give me a good fit.

Huge Jabra fan but these earbuds are a huge step backwards. First, they just sound "echoey" no other way to describe it. Doesn't seem to be able to be resolved with any settings change. They also feel a little heavier and less comfortable than the excellent Elite 7 Pros. Second, and the reason why they're going back to the store is because when you put in only one earbud, they automatically default to "HearThrough" mode with no setting or other way to change this. No other Jabra earbud model does this. HearThrough for some is very unpleasant, and why you would need HearThrough active with only one earbud when you can hear what's going on around you is beyond me.

Good but not great. Thought were going to be smaller & less visible. With a Samsung s23 Ultra you don't get all the same perks you do with Samsung Earbuds.

they never stayed in my ears unfortunately. tried the sport version and worked much better

One of the ear buds only works on occasion after less than two months. The sound was okay but not great. Battery life is substantially lower than some rather cheap headphones I've had in the past.

Not impressed. Air pods 2nd generation are better. Im not an apple user. Air pods work GREAT with Samsung S23 ultra

The Jabra Elite 10 earbuds have truly impressed me with their exceptional performance and feature set. These earbuds offer a remarkable audio experience in a compact and stylish package. First and foremost, the sound quality is outstanding. The earbuds deliver crisp and clear audio with deep bass, making music and podcasts come to life. The sound is well-balanced across various genres, ensuring an enjoyable listening experience. Whether I'm at the gym or commuting, these earbuds consistently provide top-notch audio quality. Comfort is another area where the Elite 10 shines. They come with a range of ear tips, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for different ear shapes. I've worn them for extended periods without any discomfort, which is crucial for all-day use. One of the standout features of these earbuds is the excellent battery life. With up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge and an additional 24 hours with the charging case, I rarely find myself running out of power. Quick charging is also a plus, giving me an hour of playtime with just a 15-minute charge. The Bluetooth connectivity is solid, with a reliable and stable connection to my devices. Pairing is hassle-free, and I've experienced minimal dropouts, even in crowded areas. Plus, the touch controls on the earbuds make it easy to adjust volume, skip tracks, and answer calls without reaching for my phone. For those who value convenience, the Elite 10 is also IP55-rated, providing resistance against dust and water. This means I can confidently use them during workouts or in light rain without worrying about damage. The Jabra Sound+ app further enhances the earbuds' functionality, offering customizable equalizer settings and the option to activate hear-through mode, which lets in ambient sound for safety during outdoor activities. The only minor drawback is that they lack active noise cancellation, but the passive noise isolation is quite effective, and I find it sufficient for most scenarios.

The noise cancellation is not good and the volume is low

I really enjoy these headphones and the employees at the counter were extremely helpful.

I preferred the elite 7 pros over these. The open air feature just seemed weird.

The 65t elite was more preferred in my opinion. But these also has its benefits!

Good comfort and sound. Problem is that ANC is very buggy . I don't think is worth the price. This is my 3rd pair still ANC problems. I had to return them. But i love the buttons though.

Jabra has absolutely hit a home run with the Elite 10 True Wireless headhpones with Dolby Atmos! I have used several of the competitors and I have to say that Jabra has definitely topped the field in several areas! The fit in my ear is phenomenal, no one even comes close to this set. The ear scanning research they completed when designing this model of True Wireless headphones has really set them apart from all of the competition when it comes to comfort, especially when wearing these for a long period of time. In addition the sound quality is out of this world! Actual responsive and tight bass is very refreshing, no muddy sounds like others I have used before. When you pair in the Active Noise Cancellation on this headset you are left with insanely comfortable headphones that you can wear all day with no fatigue, excellent sound quality for all genres of music, amazing Dolby Atmos sound quality when watching movies and TV shows, and a great way to block out the noise of the office or whatever your work setting may be. I love the Elite 10 and they are a great addition to my daily routine!

I have used the Bose QuietComfort II and QuietComfort Ultra buds for the past year. They have their problems (they only last about 2 months before you need to return them, and their touch surfaces are not always reliable) but the sound quality, bass response, and ANC are excellent. The ANC on the Jabras simply does nothing, and there is no bass at all. The noise isolation with the environment is barely noticeable. These are not good ear buds in any sense of the word. Save your money. I'm trying the Sony WF1000-XM5 next. Maybe ONE of these products will actually work.

The sound was amazing But if they don't fit in the ears there's no reason to buy. Not even one second and out.

Earbuds sucks when talking on phone, but great for music and watching things
