    Great sound quality. Use it at work for taking phone calls and for listening to music. Units are rugged but my favorite feature about them is that you can use only one at a time if you want for taking phone calls or dictating texts.

    I've had had these for about 3 months. They have great sound and amazing noise cancelling. The waterproofing needs some improvement. The right earbud speaker completely blew out today.

    Used these every other day on my runs for the past month, they fit perfectly and dont slide off. The only negative is that they get a little dirty, but i dont mind since a wet wipe does the job. The battery life is great too!

    My wife bought this for me. I was suprised. The sound coming from these headphone are amazing. I tried on many headphones, and these by far the best I ever had. The headphones app lets you control how you want it. User friendly. No complaints here

    Really wanted to like the Jabra Elite 8 Active but this amazing Jabra earbud has been a major letdown for me. The sound and the design with the connectivity to the app which enhanced the experience are top notch. Especially with the app equalizer and the ability to switch between ANC I applaud Jabra for having these features. Why the one star? The terrible fit. It does not stay on in my workouts. Just lifting weights on a bench or being in a fixed position the earbuds fit fine and stay in place. Yet when running on a treadmill, doing burpees or the jump box I have to constantly adjusting both buds from falling out of my ear. It is so annoying these earbuds literally ruined a good workout. I also have a pair of Jaybird Vistas and they are amazing in terms of fit. In my toughest workouts these earbuds just don't budge. Really wish these Jabra buds are the same but that is not so.

    Decent sound. not the loudest. good fit at first but wouldn't stay in after a while. Alot of times i had to pull one bud out and put it back in the case to get it to connect to the phone. I've had these for 2 months and one is not working properly it makes shrieking noise. Very disappointing. don't know if i can get a new pair from Jabra.
