Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me just thought out by saying I have been a long time user of job or products from the 25e to the 65 t and 75t, 7 active as well as now the 8 active. I would like to give this product five stars however noise cancellation 4 on the generous side. The sound quality would be better if it was louder however it does sound good. The connectivity is decent however it is somewhat slow at times. Overall my user experience has been good, not quite great but good. The laps in a n c quality is almost a deal breaker. It is balanced out by the fit the sound quality and the functionality of the earbuds themselves which are on par with Jabra s history. The sound quality is not an improvement volume wise to the 75 t. The fit and functionality are on par with the seven active, however I'm not sure that it's really worth the upgrade for the price. The only plus that I can definitely say they have over the seven active is the fit. These earbuds are extremely comfortable. The fit and functionality provide a seamless user experience in those regards. I can't help but wonder whether or not I should have upgraded to the 85 t based on the longevity as well as other users reviews of that particular earbud in the old form factor??? However Jabra you seem to still be doing a good not quite great job I think that you should pay a bit more attention to users comments and figure away to mesh the old form factor 75 t85t with the new fit / seamless call quality functionality of the newer eight and 10 active & pro versions.Food for thought!

To start positively, the sound quality is decent and the battery life is immaculate (use 8-10 hrs on 50% hear through for 2.5 days before recharge). The ANC is also pretty good at blocking out high wind sounds (not so much higher pitch sounds though). HOWEVER, a HUGE downside is how the headphones pop out of the case EVERYTIME the case is dropped. This happens quite often due to the case being smooth material, causing it to slide out of pockets easily. There’s no point in a “military grade” case if the magnets aren’t strong enough to keep the case closed when dropped. Your case may not be damaged, but your headphone(s) will get lost if you don’t notice they’ve bounced out upon impact. I now have to pay $80 more on the Jabra website for a replacement pair (only lost the left but Jabra doesn’t sell them individually). This is very disappointing as there’s no real way to fix this problem as the customer. I recommend Jabra improve their case manufacturing, or at least count this as a manufacturer error for warranty purposes.

Great earbuds im coming from ajaybirds vista 2 and these are very nice the anc and crispness and bass are perfect for me after you customize your EQ. There really isnt much that i dislike about them i wear them for mowing and the large eartips work great for me. I might even like the more than my Jabra elite 10 just due to the fact they are more gripping in the ear canal dont fallout.

Jabra has been my go to running ear buds brand for years and this new pair is an upgrade in every way. Great battery, great water/sweat resistance, great ANC, and not too expensive. The multiple tips included allowed me to find a comfortable fit and the wireless charging case is a great creature comfort.

I love it. The sound is great and the comfort of it in my ear is great! There are many options to adjust the sounds and all the other good things with the app download! The battery life is lasting and what I needed for.

These are the the best ear buds I've ever had and I've been through a lot of them. They do everything. You can change the volume by holding down the button on either bud, you can skip and go back to previous songs, you can hear and be heard easily on phone calls, they stay in your ears and the noise canceling feature is insanely good. If you don't like the noise canceling you can turn it off very easily with the oush of a button. I like the physical buttons as compared the touch ear buds because there are no accidental touches. I highly recommend them.

I've been trying to find a good quality headset that's comfortable and have great sound, I think I just found them, I have absolutely no issues with these earbuds at all, good battery life, and noise cancellation works great. I mainly use this headset for phone calls so I wear one at a time, but there's also great for listening to the music. I'd definitely recommend them.

Excellent earbuds. I am extremely active and these earbuds have been great. I've ran in the rain and cold using these with no problems. The sound quality is good and they work great when talking on my cell.

Let's start with the good. The sound quality was ok/good. Nothing crazy but good. The build quality seems good( great on paper). The bad. The noise cancelling is bad. My rant. I bought these earbuds for 2 reasons. Great ANC and IP68 rating. I use these for work. I work outside. So I need great ANC and I need great water/sweat/dust resistance. I thought I got the full package with these. The ANC is just bad. When you active the ANC it works very well. Until there's an specific noise at an specific frequency and then the earbuds ANC decides to amplify that sound and pass it through. I thought that this was maybe a situation where I got a lemon. So I order another pair. Same thing happened. 400 dollars in earbuds and I can't even use them to mow my yard. What i mean. If i use my big comercial mower no problem. If i use my sthil trimmer no problem. But if i use my walk behind mower and my echo trimmer. Those the noise cancelling cant handle? It cant cancel the noise made by a specific piece of equipment. Im sure it is the adaptive hybrid ANC technology. Always trying to make things more complicated than necesary. We want good anc, good transparency mode, good call quality and a good ip rating. My old work earbuds were pretty good for the most part. (Jaybird vista 2) But the anc wasn't amazing. They let some noises in. But nothing like the jabra elite 8 active where all the sudden the ANC stops and then everything gets louder than if you had the ANC off. And caches you off guard and your ears hurt. Not cool.

Love it. Sound quality is great. Perfect for running or everyday use at work. I use them for both. Great app features and they do not stick out of your ear they stay im firm without and discomfort. I never like in ear buds until Jabra. And best of all very long battery life

Excellent headphones. Sound quality for music, podcasts, and calls is top notch. The quick switching between noise canceling and hear through is great as you change environments or want to briefly hear someone or something without removing the headphones. Most importantly to me, they are a very comfortable fit.

very good quality for the price, great sound, and what works for me they’re very useful for my job which I need to be hands free most of the time

These are great earbuds, comfortable the noise cancelling is awesome. I wore them on a plane and killed all the sound of the engines. This is my second pair of Jabari elites. Love them.

Jabra Elite 8 Active is a pair of earbuds that passed the rigorous US Military Standards for rugged electronics and this is not a light statement to make by Jabra. The earbuds have IP rating of IP6X, which is the maximum level of dust protection and even the case has an IP rating of IP5X. Jabra claims that bringing these buds to the beach for outdoor activities are not a problem. The buds also get an IP rating of IPX8, which means they can get submerged under water up to 1.5 meters and the case can withstand splashes of water as well. The buds were also tested against saltwater splash, too. Why do these ratings matter? Well, people have been buying Jabra earbuds mainly for their durability. These earbuds are meant for outdoor activities. But does Jabra deliver this time with the Elite 8 Active? Yes. Not only that these earbuds are durable, they stick in the ear really well. Jabra gives you a set of different silicone tips for better fitting to your ear, however, the ones that came stock work well for me. These earbuds stick really well to my ears. These days spatial audio is pretty much standard so these buds support Dolby Audio. However, it does not support Dolby Atmos, which is reserved for the higher-end model. In terms of other features, they’re all there. There’s ANC, which works pretty well, and also hear through that blocks out wind noise when we use the earbuds outside. The 6 microphones work well and I have used them for video conference without a problem. The earbuds can last up to 8 hours in a single charge and the case has enough reserve power to charge the earbuds 3 times. The case also supports wireless charging, which is nice. Now on to audio performance. I won’t be very critical here because again the main selling point of these earbuds are outdoor performance and activities. First thing first, make sure that the buds are updated to the latest firmware by downloading the app to your phone. You’ll be getting improvement in terms of audio performance. Generally speaking, audio performance is good. Audio is clear enough and the bass is very much audible and quite well pronounced. However, I would very much like it more if the mids and highs are more evenly pronounced so as to get more balanced frequency performance across the board. So, the types of music that play better in my test with these earbuds are dance and electronics, which is not surprising because these earbuds are meant for outdoor activities. Listening to Daft Punk’s track ‘One More Time’ is both enjoyable and energizing. Audio performance across all frequencies in that track make more sense and are quite typical to electronic music. Other types of music even classical music are still enjoyable to play, though they may not maximize on the sound characteristics of the earbuds, which are leaning more to the low frequencies. Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, 4th Movement, was still enjoyable to hear though it is less engaging than tracks from electronic music. Separation between all instruments and vocals is not the earbuds’ strength. It’s quite clear that the earbuds’ acoustics are tuned more to give better performance for specific genres of music. Still, this is a good pair of earbuds for outdoor activities.

These Jabra Elite 8 Series headphones have hit my ears with the best feeling of sound, structure and the most comfort out of every other set I have used so far, period. I have tried over 30 sets of ear buds over the $100 mark and plenty of others under $100 and these are my favorite so far and now look at other ear buds as inferior. I have used these for over 3 weeks straight on a daily basis, from working in a shop, taking walks, grocery shopping and even being on my motorcycle for long drives, and here is what I have found. The Elite 8 in-ear headphones are strong, they have hit the cement multiple times now and not one mark to date, they are tough, military tough! They also fit my ears better than any other ear bud I have tried, they actually stay in, I do not have to constantly push them back in, I go hours without adjustment. The Jabra Elite 8's also hit the mark with charge time, long days fret my music as they go hours on end playing, they have yet to die in a 9 hour work day on myself and I am between 90 and 100% volume the entire time. The Active Noise Cancelling is amazing as long as you download the app so you can turn the option on and off. When on my motorcycle, I can turn it off and turn on passive sound so I can hear the world around me which is a huge need on a bike. The ANC feature works almost too good, I had my 2 youngest kids yell at me with the volume at 70% and I could not hear them at all, hats off to Jabra for them creating a true ANC that works flawlessly. The ear buds charge very quickly from what I can tell, I never go without battery when I need them, I also only charge them once every 3 days so far, yet to run out of juice. Connection to all my devices have been seamless as well, not one device did not pair within seconds, it was always instant. Now, for the sound, these sound great, not my $500 gaming headphones good but not far off. If you have Dolby Atmos turned on your phone or PC and you turn it on in the Jabra app, you will hate your experience, you need to use the app only or phone/device only, the sound quality will suffer 10 fold if you do this, which I expect from other reviews that is most likely what they are having as an issue. The lows hit low, probably as low as 35 to 40 hz and then fade down from there, I feel like they have a subsonic filter built in, which is smart. The mids are clear, not muddy like many others, lyrics are crisp and clear like they were meant to sound like. The highs are crisp and not tinny at all, very smooth highs, if you get the tinny sound, your equalizer on your device may be set for general, not for your ears or device you are listening through, learn to adjust for yourself, it will make the worst headphones even a little better. The wireless range is amazing, states 32 feet which is false, it is WAY more, my desk in 49 feet away from my machine and I leave my phone on my desk, I can go another 4 or 5 feet past my machine control panel before it starts to break up. The built in voice assistance works great with Google, the microphone is very precise and picks up everything, so if you are trying to google search via voice, go away from others talking, it will pick them up. The charging case is great as well, compact for my pocket and giving us multiple more charges for weekend long hiking and camping trip performance. The built in controls work great, nice positive clicking feel so you know you are not looking like someone has a fly in their ear, you know what I mean. I am truly happy with these ear bud headphones from Jabra, these are easily one of the best for the price on the market currently in my opinion. I absolutely recommend these to anyone, especially if you have tried many sets and they do not stay in your ears, I can bet the house these will be for you!

Sound great and battery lasts. Sometimes in the beginning only one turns on and have to take them in and out of ear for both to connect, but I may be doing something wrong. Still love them!

With the Jabra Elite 8 Active wireless earbuds, I recently had the chance to raise my audio game, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. Finding the ideal set of earphones that met my many needs had been a bit of a search for me because I value music as well as being active. But now that I've had some quality time with these earbuds, I can declare with certainty that my quest is over. The Jabra Elite 8 Active makes a great first impression in the area of design. The earphones are packaged in a stylish, portable charging case that is convenient to carry. The case is well-made, and the magnetic lid closure works satisfactorily. Due to the variety of ear tip selections, the earbuds themselves are comfortable in my ears. Even during extended listening sessions or strenuous workouts, they are surprisingly comfy. The audio performance of these earphones is really where they stand out. Jabra has made every effort to offer a full and well-balanced sound profile. Crisp highs, powerful mids, and gratifying lows are all features of the Elite 8 Active earbuds. These earphones provide an excellent listening experience regardless of whether you prefer the complex melodies of classical music or the deep bass of electronic music. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is what most struck me. It successfully muffles distracting background noise so I can fully enjoy my music or podcasts. The HearThrough feature enables me to be aware of my surroundings while out for a run or a bike ride without taking out the headphones. For wireless earbuds, battery life is a key factor, and the Elite 8 Active doesn't let users down. I received an impressive 7-8 hours of playback time with ANC enabled on a single charge without ANC you will get around 14 hours and That is substantially increased by the charging case, making it appropriate for all-day use or extended journeys. The Bluetooth connection has been steadfast. The earphones were simple to pair with my devices, and they stayed in contact with them throughout my use, even while my phone was in another room or pocket. The IP68 classification for dust and water resistance is a blessing for someone who likes to be active. These earbuds are designed to survive sweat and even the odd sprinkle of rain. They've held up quite well, and I've used them without concern during strenuous workouts and runs. The earbuds' simple touch controls make it simple to manage music playback, answer calls, and change the ANC settings. Even more control is available with the Jabra Sound+ app, which lets you personalize your sound profile and change the ANC settings to suit your preferences. It's a useful tool that improves the user experience in general. Good call quality is crucial in a world where remote work and video calls are the norm. In this regard, the Elite 8 Active earphones shine. My voice is audible even in noisy surroundings because of the six microphone call technology. Conclusion: The Jabra Elite 8 Active earphones have genuinely impressed me in every way, in my opinion. They are a top pick for anyone looking for a top-notch wireless earbud experience because to their beautiful design, comfortable fit, outstanding sound quality, long battery life, and durable build. These Jabra earbuds have something to offer for every one whether your a music enthusiast, a fitness fanatic, or a working professional on the run. They have unquestionably improved my acoustic experience and improved the enjoyment of my regular activities. The Jabra Elite 8 Active is a statement of excellence in audio technology, not just a set of earbuds. highly advisable

THEY WORK GREAT!! LOVE THE BRAND BEEN USING THEM FOR YEARS.

These Jabra Elite 8 Active Earbuds are an EXCELLENT choice! They have now supplanted my previous buds as my all time favorite! First and foremost, the fit and comfort are excellent! Most other buds (and I get it, I am a bigger guy) have not fit particularly well. Usually, when I am at the gym, I have reach up several times to re-seat other buds. These? Nope, they fit perfectly and stay seated. I forgot how nice it was to have good fitting buds for the first time in a LONG time! OK, so they fit well, but how do they sound? Short answer: They sound great! The bass is great... Very powerful but not overwhelming. The mids are clean, clear and defined. The highs are crisp and clean without being piercing. In the app, you can choose the standard default EQ settings, or you can create your own custom EQ and save it as whatever you'd like to name it. Another great feature is the noise cancelling. You have the option of NC off, ANC and HearThrough. The ANC is great for the gym. It blocks out a good deal of background noise. However, were I to use these jogging or biking or working, I would leave them in HearThrough mode. That allows for you to be aware of your environment while still enjoying your music. I am not going to get into the specs since you can get those from the BB or Jabra site, but from a user perspective, I can and would reccomend them to a friend!

I own a lot of different ear buds, but this is my first pair of Jabra buds. From what I've read about them, I'm hopeful they will do better than most of the buds I currently have, most of which fall far short on comfort and sound quality. Setting these buds up is a piece of cake. I didn't need the app to do it, which is a big plus. They paired with my phone without any trouble. As soon as you remove them from the charging case, they're powered up and ready to go. Not crazy about the case having a rounded bottom. It does not stand up on it's own, it needs to lay on it's back but since the lid flips back to open, it makes it a bit awkward to have the lid open and the case laying on the table. The lid has a detent which helps to keep it open while in the laying position, but it's not really enough of one to keep the lid from wanting to close. The charging port is on the rounded bottom of the case and is thankfully a USB-C connection, which make it extremely easy to plug the charging cable into. There are also two small LED indicators on the case. One on the outside to show the overall charge condition of the case itself and another one on the inside which shows the condition of the buds. Small LEDs but quite bright. They let you see at a glance the state of the charge for both. Unlike the majority of ear buds I've used, these guys just fit from the moment I put them in. Absolutely amazing. I've never had that happen before. The only thing I needed to do was pick the right size gel tips. They fit snugly without having to cram them so deep into my ears that they hurt. These guys just slid into place and made a tight seal to allow for really good bass response. The box claims that Jabra scanned 62,000 ears to create the perfect fit, and I can honestly say however they used that information, it worked! They feel snug yet very light in my ears. Really a pleasure to wear them, they stay in place perfectly, they're not overly big, so they always seem secure. I never felt like if I moved a certain way or went for a run that they would move around and cause me aggravation to re-seat them. One box checked, great fit! On to the sound. Everyone has their favorite music app, mine happens to be power amp. The bass response on these buds is really fantastic. This is how ear buds should sound. They have plenty of volume and the sound quality is really good! Deep, rich, punchy bass you can feel, clear mids and pleasant highs without being tinny at all. I was really surprised and blown away by both the fit and the sound. If you take the time to download the app, you get a bunch of additional features. You don't need the app to use the buds, but I do recommend it. There are some helpful pages that show the basic controls and how to wear them. Aside from that, there are battery level readouts, noise cancellation state, Dolby spacial sound, graphic equillizer and sound presets. I found all of them to be helpful in fine tuning the sound. Not sold on the spacial sound setting. It seemed to make the overall sound more thin. Which is the opposite of what I expected. The EQ presets work very well, but if you want more control, you can use the graphic EQ to dial in the sound how you want, and save your settings as a music preset. I found the noise canceling settings to work well. Again, you have a choice of whether to use the Active Noise Cancellation, the HearThrough or Off modes. I really like that by using one of the settings, it doesn't affect the sound of the music. On other ear buds, that's not the case. Also, another benefit of downloading the app is that you can register your buds for a 2 year warranty! Aside from the above listed positives, they're also US Military Grade Durability. I'm afraid I haven't had them long enough to really put this to the test, but they seem very solid and well made. They're military grade rating also means they've passed 9 durability tests and are protected against dust, water and sweat. All in all, a really great set of ear buds and currently far and away my favorite set in my collection of buds. Comfort is really an underrated feature. These guys have the fit down cold. On top of that they really sound great. Very well done Jabra, I'm very glad I gave them a try!
