Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good product. Comfortable. Great for running. This is my 2nd pair of these head phones.

I’m a longtime user of Jabra products. My last earbuds stopped working cold and no fix was available so I made the decision to buy these as replacements. The sound quality isn’t as great as my previous pair; these seem more optimized for productivity and calls. That said they’re good enough and I’m sorry that Jabra is getting out of this product category.

They did everything expected of them. great reception, clear sound, no interruption

The best decision I ever made and the best for working out

Great earbuds, work like I imagined them to! Battery life is great for my daughter has them in 24/7!

Great sound quality with both music and taking phone calls. Blocks out noise around you with great noise cancelling!

Surprisingly great sound with lots of features for the price

I bought these buds to replace a set of Jabra buds that were lost. This model is an upgrade and works fine. The only con is that the buds are somewhat larger.

Love it, best for work out or normal use, definitely recommend it

I pretty much like all Jabra products it's really the only inside the ear headphones I buy

The headphones work very well. When i have both earbuds in i have amplifier to hear my surroundings. I would recommend to a friend.

Love my new ear buds! I lost one of my old ones in a car accident, Im so glad I got new ones.

Goodnproduct over all. Great price and everything else

These earbuds provide great sound quality and a comfortable and secure fit at a very decent price. In terms of comfort, these are extremely comfortable with a small earbud that sits nicely inside the ear with no pressure at all, at least in my ears. I’ve been able to listen with these for hours on end with no ear fatigue. I’m a huge fan of how these fit. They also include multiple sizes of eartips to customize the fit to your liking. I’ve always liked the sound quality from Jabra earbuds and these don’t disappoint providing very decent sound quality for the money with a balanced, crisp, and very clean sound profile. They have a customizable EQ where you can manually adjust the sound profile to your liking. They also have presets to enhance voices, bass, as well as treble. I tend to like their “Energize” preset which elevates both bass and treble while lowering the mid range. These earbuds also can get quite loud and they still sound quite good at higher volumes. Some earbuds can have distortion at higher volumes but these stay clean throughout where the low end doesn’t sound muddled. Great for all of us who like to listen at higher volumes. Noise cancellation is decent - seems to do a good job in most environments eliminating voices, white noise, as well as traffic. It doesn’t do well with louder sounds though. The “Hearthrough” transparency mode…while it works, it also sounds a bit fake and synthetic. They allow you to adjust the level of transparency which I very much appreciate but don’t find it to sound natural. Each earbud has a button on the outside where you can play, pause, skip tracks, and answer/decline calls. The amount of pressure is just right on the buttons where with each press, it doesn’t feel like you’re pushing the earbud further into your ear but not too soft where you experience accidental presses. The placement is also ideal where you can find the button easily. When it comes to using these for sports, these were secure enough for me for running and the gym but they can shift with more jarring activities. They also don’t have the highest water resistance rating so that’s something to be aware of if you’re a heavy sweater. They’re “active” series of earbuds may be a better option if you do a lot of sports. There’s no shortage of earbuds to choose from these days but these earbuds strike a nice balance in terms of features, quality, and price.

The Jabra Elite 5s are a decent mid-level set of earbuds with good fit and sound but middling ANC performance. The buds come in the usual type of rechargeable wireless earbud case, with a USB-C port for charging as well as support for wireless charging on a Qi-compatible charging pad. I have not had them long enough to evaluate how long they hold a charge, but it looks like the charging case holds enough charge to recharge the buds 4-5 times when they are inserted. The Elite 5s have quite a different shape from my older Elite 75t earbuds and fit in my ear even better than the earlier models. They are very comfortable to wear and seem secure from the chance of falling out in normal usage. I also have a set of Google Buds Pro that always feel like I could lose one at any time; these definitely do not have that problem. I tend to use my wireless earbuds mostly to listen to podcasts when going for walks or working out at the gym, with just occasional use to play music. For this they work very well. I am also glad that Jabra continues to use tactile buttons for controlling them that “click” when pressed. Some new products use tough-sensitive controls, which are very annoying since doing something like trying to adjust the position of a bud always ends up setting off a control function that I’m not looking for. Kudos to Jabra for sticking with real buttons! The functions of the buttons is the same as I’ve had on other Jabra products and the available smartphone app lets to customize the controls to some extent. Performance on phone calls was good and the callers didn’t seem to notice that I was answering them using earbuds, indicating good noise reduction on my end. The disappointment with this product is that I didn’t find the ANC to be very effective – more like “noise reduction” than “cancellation”, and I don’t think that it’s any better than the older Elite 75t product. To be fair, I might have been comparing it to the more expensive Google Buds Pro that are like a “cone of silence” by comparison, or maybe it just wasn’t working for me. Switching to hear-through definitely increased the noise level as expected, but ANC only dimmed it a bit.

They worked great.. but not when im using the air compressor at work

Pro: Even audio Battery life Wireless charging Con: Middling noise canceling Hear Through is hissy and unnatural These earbuds are small and comfortable to wear. The buds go a little bit deeper in the ears but don't cause any discomfort. It fits snuggly in ear, and actually takes a bit of effort to take them out. They have standard two buttons layout, with the right controlling the media and the left for noise canceling. It comes with three rubber tip sizes. They have good audio, but the noise canceling is lacking. Audio Quality Overall audio sounds good and neutral. The high, mids, and low sounded even, and doesn’t really emphasize any one over the other. There’s not much bass to them, but it sounded good enough to be able to hear different instruments clearly and vocals are clear. Within the app, the EQ can be adjusted, but the differences are minimal. Noise Canceling ANC is just okay. Even with the customized noise canceling, it’s about the same as wearing earplugs in terms of noise reduction and it reduces some low hums. Engine sounds get reduced by about 50-75%, while voices get muffled. It’s okay for low noise environments like a small workplace or walking in a neighborhood. Through the app, the noise canceling level can be tailored and balanced between your ears, which can help improve the noise canceling. Hear Through mode has a good amount of hiss to it and sounded like there’s a bit of digital processing or distortion to it. Battery Life Battery life is pretty good. On each charge, it can last about 6 hours with noise canceling on and the case can add up to another 20+ hours. The charging case can be charged with a USB-C or wirelessly.

I am always looking for the next great wireless in-ear headphones option so I was excited to give the Jabra Elite 5 True Wireless Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling headphones a try. Typically for me the first thing I am checking for is in-ear comfort which is sometimes a much harder find than expected. When I first looked at these I anticipated being disappointed became often this particular design just doesn’t feel comfortable for me in most cases (I have only found 2 exceptions to this in the past). Looks can be deceiving though as this fit me quite comfortably and did not have the bulky feel an assumed at fort glance. Although I didn’t need to switch the tips it was nice to see that like most options Jabra includes 3 different sizes options to swap out if necessary. While it’s still not what I would call the most comfortable of all in-ear options I have owned I can definitely use these during a workout or for extended wear without wanting to take them out after just an hour or so. Setup a pairing was a breeze for every device I connected to which is always plus. The Sound+ app gives some customization options and works well but isn’t something I would likely need to use often. The noise-canceling options seem to be on par with most other noise canceling brands I own and was more than adequate. Using ANC still allow for great battery life (a little under 7 hour from my testing) so I can confidentially use these in various situations without worrying if the battery will last throughout my activity. Sound wise these definitely fit my expectations having great overall sound. Sound quality with various music genres as well as on phone calls is excellent. Bass is nice and punchy without any odd distortion and clarity is excellent. Of course you have to keep your expectations based on in-ear performance versus trying to compare to your favorite over the ear option that will always win out but as long as you are realistic on that front I believe these headphones will fit the needs of most users. Phone calls were crisp and clear on my end and those that I spoke with weren’t aware that I was using them to complete our call. I did not test this out in a notoriously noisier environment like driving in my car or in a windy/exceptionally noisy place but those are not environments I would normally utilize something like this. Overall, I would definitely recommend these to anyone wanting a nice quality option at a bit more of a wallet friendly price. While I wouldn’t designate them as top of the line material these are definitely a solid midrange option that I believe most users would enjoy.

Out of the box these earbuds are very stylish looking, they come with 3 different sized ear plugs (gels) (Large, Medium, Small), as well as a charging case and usb cable. In the manual it says you can also buy a wireless charging pad for them as well, which i will most likely be picking up at some point in the future. Pros The phone app to setup everything is pretty nice, and offers quite a bit of features. The Hybrid ANC (active Noise Cancellation) technology is actually pretty good, while activated i could barely hear anything outside of what i was listening to (its not 100% silent, but during somethings I would listen to, it was a close 98% noise cancellation). The buds have the ability to connect/sync with Google Asistant or Amazons' Alexa which is pretty convenient, especially with my ecosystem currently in the home. Spotify tap is a nice feature as well (allowing for a custom EQ, and song control [resume, play recommended song]) The unit boasts; up to 7 hours of battery life + 28 hours with the case, as well as 1 hour of playback per 10 minutes of charge, which is nice if i just want to grab and go. Includes a 2 year warranty The Audio quality is also very good, the bass in some songs was hitting like it should and everything sounded very nice. Cons The only thing i disliked about these earbuds, When you pull out the right earbud while listening to music, it causes the music to stop/pause. (i believe there is a metal sensor in the earbuds that can detect if they are in or not) when the music stopped I thought i could just tap the left ear bud to get the music going again as i would with the right earbud, but thats not how the buttons are setup (instead i had to press play again on my phone), The right earbud is the "only" controller for music, So keep that in mind if you remove one of the earbuds while listening to music take out the left one... Overall these earbuds are very nice, the sound is good, and feels immersive... I also really like the ANC features with the ability to turn it on and off at the press of a button. The fit and overall comfort of these buds feel pretty good as well. I would definitely recommend these buds to anyone looking to try something different.

This is a pretty good pair of multipoint earbuds. I've been keeping them paired to both my phone and my laptop, and I've overall had a good experience. Regarding the problems I've had with this headset, I've found that sometimes the left and right earbuds won't sync up properly. They can be off, by just a fraction of a second. I know that one of the computers I used them on had an improperly-installed wireless antenna, so that could be relevant, but I did want to mention it. I also think it worth noting that since the software to control the earbuds is only on Android and iOS, you can't really do things like adjusting the equalizer or ANC from your computer, which is *slightly* annoying. Those two issues aside, I've had a pretty great experience with these. The battery life is pretty decent, and will get me through at least four hours. The microphone array appears to be pretty great - I've been on quite a few calls on both Facebook Messenger and Discord, on both phone and computer, and the people I've been calling have reported that the sound quality from my end is good. Nobody's complained about that. The earbuds fit comfortably, and I was able to find a good set of tips in the package to fit my ears. They also don't make my ears itch, which is great. The sound quality is also pretty nice. On calls, I can hear everyone's voices okay (or at least, no worse than ever, depending on whether I'm calling that one friend who really needs a new mic), and when I'm listening to music the quality is pretty decent. They do not suffer from the "Oops, All Mids!" problem, and have pretty okay top end and bass considering that they're earbuds. The case is nice - I like that it works with wireless charging and USB-C, no micro USB connectors here. It's also easy to clean. Overall, I have to say I rather like them. They could probably use a firmware update or something to patch that issue with the desynced audio, but considering that I was using weird hardware and the desync is by less than a quarter of a second I'm willing to overlook that, particularly since everything else seems to be good. I would definitely recommend these.
