Customer Ratings & Reviews

If it weren’t for the random disconnection during client meetings, I would give these at least 4 stars. I have an iPhone 11, at least the phone stays connected and I can quickly switch to speaker if need be. I may end up looking for a more reliable earbud.

The Jabra Elite 65t advertises battery life at 5 hours and everywhere I’m reading seems to agree with that assessment. To my surprise, with my usage, I’ve always gotten over 5 hours with constant play. I realistically got about 6 hours of constant play at 60% volume (the max volume on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 before it warns you about high volume with headphones on), so 5 hours is certainly a safe number. It doesn’t feel like one of those cheating advertised numbers where under certain circumstances you’ll get 5 hours. The case is nearly half the size in height compare to the Jaybird Run’s case so it’s less of a nuisance to pocket. It’s still fatter than the Apple Airpod’s case though. I also found the case initially hard to open. There’s a slit in the front that makes you think you need to open the case with your nail but you don’t open it that way. Rather a good pull of the top of the case away from the bottom using my thumb easily opens the case. With no button on the outside of the case, it is unlikely to accidentally open while stashed away. Once the earbuds have already been paired with a device, a connection is immediately established after you take the earbuds out of the case. The buttons on the Jabra Elite 65t giving you full access to media functions, which is way more than I can say for other truly wireless earbuds. The buttons are also physical and not touch-based so you won’t get finicky controls. On the left ear bud you have volume up and volume down. Hold volume up for 1 second to skip a track. Hold volume down for 1 second to go to the previous track. On the right earbud you have a single physical button. Press it to pause music. Hold it for 1 second to activate your phone’s default voice assistant (Google Assistant, Siri). Using the Jabra Sound+ app you have the option to choose Amazon Alexa as your voice assistant. Keep in mind, none of these options are assistants available locally and independently on the Jabra Elite 65t. They are all tethered from your phone, including Amazon Alexa. Double-pressing the right earbud turns on/off something called HearThrough. Turning it on allows you to hear outside sound through your earbuds better. How much sound you allow it hear is adjustable on the Jabra Sound+ app. For media playing, the Jabra Elite 65t has a cool auto-pause feature. Remove any earbud from your ear and it will immediately pause whatever you’re playing, video included. I can confirm this also works with Netflix, and Samsung’s native video player. While this feature is on by default, using the Jabra Sound+ app, you can turn this feature off. I haven’t had any issues with calls or the microphone like some others have claimed. I picked up an important call from my dentist’s office to reschedule an appointment in short notice and the conversation went smoothly despite me being underground on the NYC subway with a train passing by me. The sound didn’t degrade to a low-quality mono like it does with the Jaybird Bluebuds X and the X2 during a call or when the microphone is in use. One thing worth mentioning that I may have taken for granted is sound playing from both earbuds when the microphone is in use. For the Jaybird Run, when the microphone is in use, sound is only played through the right earbud. With the Jabra Elite 65t sound is played through both earbuds. So when you use your voice assistant, you can hear the response through both earbuds. Even more importantly, your phone calls are heard through both earbuds. You can still use just one earbud for calls, but it must be the right earbud. It also does a cool trick with calls- when you get an incoming call it can tell you who’s calling by reading you your Caller ID through the headset, whether it be the person’s actual name or their phone number. This feature can be turned off using the Jabra Sound+ app. As for sound quality, I feel that the Jaybird Run is slightly better but if I never had the Jaybird Run to use as a reference I wouldn’t even have noticed since the difference is very slight. The bass isn’t as heavy as the Jaybird Run out of the box, but you can adjust the sound to your liking using the Jabra Sound+ app’s Equalizer. The fit feels secure and comfortable, until I’m eating something with them on. Your experience may differ but my jaw movements when eating (but not regular talking) messes with the seal the earbuds have on my ears. Sometimes I worry that an earbud may fall off. It never has and probably never will, but that feeling is there for me because of how the earbud alternates from a good seal to a bad seal while I’m chewing. I never had this experience with the Jaybird Run, which always maintained a good seal. The Bluetooth connection I had with the Jabra Elite 65t was solid. I never had any dropouts from the left and right earbuds working with each other like I did with the Jaybird Run. I did get occasional audio dropouts in congested areas in NYC like when I was walking down 6th Ave and 42nd St around Bryant Park. I think this is something I’ve experienced with all the Bluetooth headsets I own though. I never had an issue while I was riding the subway. All in all, I was very satisfied with these earbuds. I definitely had a better experience with them than with the Jaybird Run. Just be aware that they aren’t sweatproof like the Jaybird Run are. If you’re looking for Jabra’s equivalent you’ll need to look at the Jabra Elite Active 65t, which costs a bit more and would warrant a separate review.

First jabra product that I've owned and very satisfied. At fist I was a bit skeptical about the wireless connectivity but it's great, haven't had an issue till this day.

They are a good use item. The fit is tricky because you have to find out the perfect size which fits for you amongst the 3 provided.

Great product for a Great price, feel like I got a steal compared to other products, not as noise reducing as others but worth it

My only complaint is that it picks up road noise while driving if you have aggressive tires I have one pair. Bought these for my wife for a business trip

I really enjoy these ear buds. They are great at the gym. I might have ear fatigue if I wore them for hours on end. For the 60-90 minutes at the gym, they are fine.

Worked well until right speaker died. Still able to perform all other functions. Debating on getting another set. Very disappointed. Did also have a constant problem with left headphone not connecting immediately to right but holding down left lower button would solve this.

Headphones did not stay in ears good while running.

I really liked my Jaba ear buds and hated that I had to replace them. My warranty allowed me to up graded them.

These work great I wasnt thrilled that you had to have both in to stay connected. Sometimes I take one out to talk a minute and it shuts it all off and...

I love these ear buds. I use them every day. They never let me down and the app that goes with them is very comprehensive.

Good audio device, my son like this device and want more

I glad I decided purchase the JABRA Elite 65t ...

THE JABRA 65T ARE GREAT BUT NOT WHAT IN NEED FOR WORK.

I wanted to like these, but the sound quality wasn't all that, and the connection was a little crappy, it seemed like the connection wanted to go out at times. Maybe it was the phone i'm not sure but I ended up returning it and getting the bose, and haven't had the same issues

Girlfriend bought these for me and they work great. Nice and loud. Only complaint is when it was windy it cut in and out but they fixed themselves real quick.

Very nice wireless earbuds, but didn't care for the way they felt in my ears. I decided to return them.

Like it. Very low key. Wish it stayed in my ears more.

I like it but wish it would have more bass in it..
