Do anything ear buds with everything!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these earbuds in black, and as my first pair of Jabra brand ear buds ever they’re pretty impressive. These earbuds are marketed as the world's toughest, which makes sense once you take them out of the packaging and actually handle them. They are noted to be waterproof, dustproof, and sweatproof. It’s nice to know that something like ear buds cant be damaged easily like some other brands do so you can literally just wear them and not care which is awesome. As far as the fit goes, a lot of other earbuds start to feel uncomfortable after about half an hour, but not these. They feel like they melt into the correct shape without that uncomfortable pressure. This is especially nice when I'm moving around, biking, or running. They stay put and don’t become a hassle. I even wore these swimming ( I didn’t go under the water but even to “risk” doing that is fun and people were asking what they were lol it was fun. So the Smart Case is actually pretty wild, it comes with a USB-C/3.5mm cable so you can connect to non-Bluetooth devices and actually stream that source to your ear buds which is the first time ive ever seen anything like this. It completely removes the need for bluetooth functionality or limitations in certain situations which I didn’t even know I cared about until I can hear audio through devices like an airplane entertainment with and adapter as if I’m using wires when I’m not its pretty sick. As for sound quality, it’s actually top notch as well. They’ve got Dolby Audio certifications, which really enhances the listening experience. There’s a transparency mode called Natural HearThrough, so you can stay aware of your surroundings without taking the earbuds out which is great when holding conversations. This is a big deal when you’re out doing stuff and cant be in your own world so to speak. The enhanced wind noise reduction is fantastic. If you’ve ever tried other noise-canceling earbuds, you know wind noise can be a huge problem. These do a great job of cutting through that noise so you can hear clearly even in windy conditions which is a pain point a lot of times in the past. Connecting these to my smartwatch is seamless, which is a big plus since it means I don't have to carry my phone around with me exactly how I want it to be. I can head out for a run and still have all my music and notifications without the extra bulk of carrying my phone WITHOUT being forced into some proprietary ear buds. Call quality is sharp and clear, they have six microphones that ensure my voice is heard even in noisy environments which I tested quite a lot including at that pool trip I made actually funnily talking to my wife on the phone while in the pool and she couldn’t even tell which tells me all I need to know. These earbuds are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for durability, great sound, and convenience. They really shine if you’re one that does a lot of tasks outdoors, working out, or are active pretty much anywhere as they are just solid as a tank but do everything you need from them.

Worth the buy

Great with okay sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is okay. I'm not an audiophile. Stays in the ear well when running. Feels more comfortable to wear for long durations than the 75t. Connectivity is great with one earbud capability. No complaints.

It makes REALLY LOUD high-pitched ringing noise
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After about 4 months of using (which is already longer than the return period): This earphone (both left and right) sometimes would make a REALLY LOUD high-pitched ringing noise when it's near my ear. Even when I already set the volume to very low or 0. It actually hurts my ear. It makes me afraid of putting these earphones in my ears now.. So unfortunate since it actually has a good sound quality.

Rattling after only 9 months of use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I did like these headphones a lot! I now hear my left earbud 'rattling' and making a 'rattling sound' as in something is loose inside or something broke. Very dissapointed, but they definitely are 'military grade'. I have always had beats that lasted me several years, my last pair lasting me 7, I might just go back to those. Headphones are too expensive for $200ish to be 'going bad' or 'breaking' in less than 10 months. Bought them 12/3/24 and it's the end of September 2025 now. Just dissapointed. And I barely worked out this year. I got hurt and only used them while at work to be hands free on my phone, so didn't even get to test them for running.
