    There's not a Jabra product I've purchased that didn't require replacement by support - two sets of headphones and these ear buds. To Jabra's credit, the replaced them each time, but it's still a hassle. Sound quality and performance on these little guys were great - awesome battery (both buds and case) and ANC. Stayed in the ear well and were so good I could use them in the shower. Now the case stopped working and I had to submit a ticket and since Jabra doesn't make them any more, I had to get a set of Elite 10s.

    Im reviewing these earbuds as is. I didn't end up keeping them but I really wanted to. Everything about them is excellent. They look great and feel great. Very durable. The microwave was good. I just felt like another pair of earbuds that I kept actually sounded better. These sounds good! They aren't bad. If you aren't comparing to any other experience you'll definitely keep them and they probably sound better than most. Because sound was the main criteria for me. I opted for what I thought sounded best but these are built much better

    I had the Elite 7 Active prior to these, and they are an enormous improvement! The call audio is significantly better on these, and the hear-through mode is much better as well. It lets you hear cars and stuff around you without blasting your ears with every little sound. Having some issues with it restarting every so often, but hopefully it just an issue with this pair.

    Great specs, just “meh” performance

    I’ve been a fan of Jabra’s in-ear buds for many years. When I read that they plan to exit the consumer market next year I figured I’d give their “swan song” earbuds a shot as my luck with previous Jabras had been great. These buds, however, despite their “military grade” specs seem to have been designed with inferior sound-blocking/sound-filtering technology. In the gym, the “noise” that would come through (no matter how loud I played the music) just made them absolutely unenjoyable to wear. And yes, I made sure the fit was snug and that both buds were properly “sealing” in my ear canals. Design wise these are a winner. They seem well constructed. The case is nicely designed. I’m not sure about that Bluetooth passthrough feature the case has because I didn’t get the chance to use it. In stark contrast, my Bose in-ear buds immediately squash the outside noises so I can enjoy the full rich sound that these in-ear buds are meant to deliver. I reluctantly returned the Jabras.
