Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just picked these up today. Had pre loaded the Jabra Sound + app on my IPhone 8 plus running IOS 11.4. Connection was no problem. App downloaded a software update and installing it was simple. Just not sure what to think yet. They're extremely comfortable and will not fall out of your ears. My biggest disappointment and this is just for me is they're not loud enough. I have been using for years a set of wired earbuds that are obsolete but they were expensive in the day. They work great still and have lasted because the cabling on them is very thick. Not like the newer Beats that the wires break internally in like a month. Shure SCL 3's. They're very loud. Much louder than the Jabra's. I hear more from them like the crack of a snare drum and they just sound clearer. However what I will give to the Jabra's is they sound fuller. If only they were able to go louder that would make me say they're the best earbuds ever ! I find myself listening with the volume all the way up most of the time. But again that's just me maybe. I was able to get away from the phone in the house about 50ft before connection went in and out. I think that's pretty good. Being able to use Siri with them is a plus. Tried one call with them and the person on the other end said it sounded fine. I will update as I find out other things like battery life which I am sure will not be an issue etc etc. I want to keep them in the worst way but the lack of volume may be a deal breaker for me. Not sure yet.

Overview: With so many brands of earbuds on the market these days, Jabra is a name I did not associate with earbuds. I recall using Jabra headsets with my flip phone back in the 90’s. The box has a line that reads “Superior sound for 145 years”, there’s an interesting article on Wikipedia on this. These Jabra 65t earbuds come with everything you would expect in the box: earbuds, charging case, microUSB cable, 3 sets of tips, the medium is preinstalled. Setup: Setup was a breeze, simply hold down the button on the right ear as you take them out of the case and keep it pressed down for a few seconds. Then look for the “Jabra elite 65t” on the list of devices to be paired. Jabra app: Download the Jabra app to customize the sound and change options that are available. Customizable options include: 1. equalizer for sound preference 2. Siri or Alexa AI (Alexa not yet available at the time of my review) 3. Settings to allow “hear through” so your surroundings can be heard. 4. Auto pause - if enabled, the music will stop when you remove an earbud. I have this set to “Off”, this means if I take out 1 earbud, the music will continue to play. This is great for the office, I can listen to music but still hear it if my co-workers are speaking to me. The only thing is I found that it only works if I remove the left ear only. If I remove the right ear but keep the left in, the music stops. 5. Caller ID: if someone calls, it’ll announce the name or phone number if the name is not in your contacts. The app does other things such as tell you battery life of earbuds and links you to a user manual, but the items above is what I found useful. Fit & Comfort: 10 out of 10 I found the Jabra’s to fit my ear very nicely, I would say more comfortable then the 4 other wireless earbuds I’ve tested. The earbuds pushes on your ear enough to stay secured, but not enough so it aches after prolong usage, as I’ve experienced with the other brands. This may not fit for everyone though, I had my wife try them, her ears are smaller, she found them to be uncomfortable. Using the buttons on these is not too bad, the left earbud has volume up and down buttons and the right has the “smart” button that can pause and play music, answer a call or initiate Siri. These buttons press in towards your ear. I found it a bit uncomfortable when using the buttons, no too bad though as the buttons didn’t require that much pressure. Sound Quality: 9.0 out of 10 I tested these earbuds with all types of music, everything from Enya, Classical hits, Def Leppard, top 40, and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. I found the sound quality to be very good; clear and crisp highs, deep mids and low levels as well. The base could’ve been better, but for earbuds, I don’t think one can expect much more. Overall great all around sound, no matter what you’re listening to. Phone calls come in stereo. I’ve tested other wireless earbuds where the sound only comes out of 1 side. You can just use 1 side if you want, say if you’re driving. But it has to be the left side. Conclusion: These are excellent overall earbuds, you can’t go wrong with these (provided the fit you comfortably). On the box, I don’t see any marketing as “sport earbuds”, but they dust and warranty resistant and backed by a 2 year warranty. I used mine in the gym, on my commute to and from the office. These are my new “goto” earbuds! I now keep my old wired bluetooth headphones in the office for backup. Pros: 1. Good size, earbuds don’t protrude out from ear too much. No “Frankenstein” look. 2. Nicely designed, probably one of the nicest looking earbuds I’ve come across. Clean, not too flashy, but not understated either. 3. Fairly compact charging case. It would’ve been nice if the flip top had a magnetic mechanism. 4. Nicely designed app, easy to use, not cluttered with features. 5. Phone conversations are in stereo (some ears I’ve used are mono, right side only). Cons: 1. The shape is mostly round, constructed with smooth plastic, only the tips are rubber. Because of this, I found it easy to slip out of my hands, I had to be extra careful with them. 2. The round body of the earbuds fit into your ears, so if your ear is smaller, they may not be comfortable.

I got these for $100. But they were just okay. They didn’t fit well and kinda hurt after 30 minutes.

I picked these up over black Friday. I'd like to give it a higher rating but I've had one issue. I will have a "crackling" sound maybe every 3rd or 4th use that makes the unit unbearable to use. When they're working they're awesome and better than any bluetooth set I've had. Just can't figure out the crackling sound issue. I might try to contact Jabra but disappointed.

Great product works well highly recommended great.

Well it does the job but kind pricey for item I hope they make it it more distance for Bluetooth connectivity.

Only issue is if you lose the left one. The right begins useless. Don’t work without each other. Only downside.

I Don’t truly love these headphones. They are not loud enough.

Brought back to store, wrong ones given to me. Exchanged for a different pair.

By bad verdict still out. Left earbud is a little wonky at times. We shall see how it does on a run and workouts.

These were easy to sync, no problems with that. The size is just a little small for a person with larger fingers.

Ok sound definitely not BOSE. I did not find these very comfortable in my ears.

These headphones are nice if you have larger ears. Otherwise they get uncomfortable after 15-20 minutes of wear.

I'm not a fan, simply because its not what I was looking for. I'm sure there is someone who has a purpose for them.

I bought these to use while working out and for the occasional train commute. The pair I got never quite worked properly - there were a couple problems. The audio was unbalanced between the earpieces (the right was noticeably louder than the left) and sometimes there was no audio from the left earpiece. I returned them for a refund after two weeks of trying to troubleshoot.

Okay but not the best I guess it's tru with some things you get what you pay for.......

Great headphones. However fell out of ear when working out, which is the while reason for having them

It is hard to get the headphones in and out of your ears. When in, the sound is okay. Would say the sound quality is below that of Bose in ear headphones. The connection sometimes takes a while to connect to the phone. I also get intermittent interference even when not around others:

This Jabra Elite headphones are great for everyday use, specially for workouts , it comes with 2 years dust and water resistance warranty . The sound it’s great, but don’t expect a lot of bass unless you be able to adjust the sound on the app, also the headphones stay put in your ear. The charging case comes really handy making the headphones last up to 15 hrs. The Jabra Gn App do need some work, it’s basic and it doesn’t have a lot of interactive actions for your headphones, most of the time the sections on the app doesn’t work for me. Works great with my voice assistant Siri.

Poor fit for anyone really working out hard. Light jogs and stretching and you are fine. Moving around, bending over to lift and they are coming right out. Also the plastic ear inserts that come with them are painful. Many blogs about how people buy other ones and find ways to get them them in case with the different ear covers. $170 headphones shouldn’t be this way.
