    The ear buds have great sound quality, and good noise cancelling. The battery life is much better than Sony Linkbuds S.

    Got these as a warranty replacement to a pair of Elite 7 actives. The sound is good, but there's no improvement over the Elite 7 actives. Some of the features for the Elite 7s have disappeared from the Elite 8s. For me, the fit of the 7s was also ALOT better. I never had a problem with the 7s moving while running, but with these the I constantly have to reposition them while running. Only reason for the 3 stars is the great customer service on getting my 7s replaced. I would recommend these, but only to those who do not plan on using these for running.

    These are great earbuds for working out. While they have never fallen out of my ears when I lean down (say negative sit-ups), they don't stay in as well as when standing up. When inserted, I have to put it in the right earbud first, or it will not automatically turn on. If I put in the left earbud first, the bud connects, but the left bud stays off. The battery seems to last forever, I can work out 1.5 hrs a day all week with no charging.

    Best Active Heavy Duty Noise Cancelling Ear Buds

    I've tried the best noise cancelling ear buds from multiple brands and have returned them all until I found these. The rubber like surface makes them easy to grip and not drop with sweaty finger and also makes them stay in your ears better as well. The tactile buttons inside the ear buds are the best on ear bud controls I've ever experienced. The battery life is fantastic. They're great for calls and most importantly they don't fall out of my ears!

    Replaced my Jabra Active 65t's, these new Elite 8 Gen 2's are awesome. Bass is great, the pass through works well. I have passthrough on medium when I workout because I like to be aware of my surroundings. I was going to get the Samsung Pro 3, but they are dragging their feet on the release and I hear they have a lot of quality issues. Glad I pulled the trigger on these.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking high-quality, durable earbuds that cater to an active lifestyle. With a focus on delivering both premium sound and exceptional durability, the Elite 8 Active Gen 2 performs remarkably well in most key areas. Sound Quality One of the standout features of these earbuds is their impressive sound profile. They deliver deep bass without overshadowing mids and highs, providing a balanced sound that’s perfect for music across genres, podcasts, and calls. Customization through the Jabra Sound+ app allows you to personalize the EQ, ensuring an ideal listening experience for any user. Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on the Elite 8 Active Gen 2 is effective at blocking out background noise, making them great for commuting or working out in noisy environments. The transparency mode (HearThrough) is also well-executed, allowing ambient sound in when needed without feeling too overwhelming or unnatural.
