Great fit, durability, and battery life. However, for the price, it is lacking in sound quality, as well as mic quality. Bass feels a bit lacking and microphone doesn't really do a great job at consistently picking an "inside voice." Also, the HearThrough mode doesn't really pick up voices that are next to you very clearly, you're mostly able to hear background noise. Great for my use case, but if you desire higher sound quality, you might want to go with something else.

Built for the ACTIVE! Fitness & Outdoors BUY THESE

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Jabra Elite 8 Active are the latest wireless earbuds from Jabra designed with sports, fitness, military, and outdoors enthusiasts in mind. These earbuds claim to be the world’s toughest, with an IP68 rating for dust, water, and sweat resistance and a 1-meter drop test. They also feature adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation, spatial sound powered by Dolby Audio, and a secure fit with Jabra ShakeGrip technology. These buds are designed to last forever with the outdoors and active user in mind. If you want to buy something that isn't going to break, withstands drops, and performs at a high level, then these are for you.
Setup and Ease of Use
Unboxing was simple and frustration-free. Open the box, remove the buds, charge the case w/ buds, then pair and enjoy. It's as simple as that, and you will not need to worry much about water if you are outdoors or just rough with gear in general. Download the app for the best experience, and you will be all set. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the app and all the customization and EQ options. You may not need all of it, but I find it a nice start. If you are a Jabra user, you already have the Sound+ app and know you are in good hands.
Build and Design
These, for the first time, were a perfect fit out of the box. Usually, it takes the large ear tips, but they are there to give you S and L sizes with M installed. I love the sleek design and grippy silicone feel. The experience is simple yet advanced and intuitive controls integrate into everyday life. The matte finish is grippy and the magnetic charging cradle feels solid. Support for wireless charging or USB-C makes this portable without charge anxiety. Earbuds are IPX8 dust and weatherproof for the beach, hiking, outdoor trips, or military operations. Waterproof to 1.5m or just under 5 ft fully submerged. 6 microphones for clear calls and noise reduction. Meets US Military Standards for ruggedized electronics - passing nine durability tests proving ultra-durable to protect against dust, water, sweat. These buds are saltwater-proof, so go to the beach or pool ready for anything. It is good practice to rinse off your gear to extend its life - these are waterproof, so keep them clean. For peace of mind and to stand alone, EVEN THE CHARGING CASE is IPX4 splashproof! This is a first that I am aware of, so now, if you are poolside or have a rain shower - no sweat.
Sound and Call Quality
Bluetooth profiles supported are: A2DP v1.3,AVRCP v1.6, HFP v1.8, PBP V1.0, TMAP V 1.0. Codecs are basic with only AAC and SBC currently supported. However, future updates for other codecs are possible. The sound is overall sculpted towards mids and highs with punchy bass that is tight and clean. If you like thumpy bass, you will be missing that on certain songs. They seem sculpted to a more balanced, neutral profile that sacrifices deep, rumbling lows in favor of clarity. Sound comes from 6mm drivers covering 20Hz - 20000Hz when listening to music but only 100Hz - 8000Hz when on a call. The sound stage is wide and well-composed, tuned for well-balanced all-around buds that cover calls and music beautifully. Enable the Spatial Audio by Dolby for an AMAZINGLY WIDE soundstage for supported devices.
If you fit your ear tip appropriately, you should receive a nice boost to passive noise isolation. Clear call technology helps with wind noise using a mic mesh and a noise cancellation algorithm to be heard in windy conditions. I am shocked at how good the mics are for calls, blocking out ambient noise and wind blowing past my head. Callers mentioned how quiet it was in an otherwise noisy office, which speaks to the mic-canceling noises around you. Callers sounded lifelike, and I enjoyed using these during work and play. ShakeGrip makes these fit securely in your ear so they don't slide out. This is done through an excellent design and liquid silicone grip enveloping the buds.
Battery life and User Experience
Let's talk about juice. Coming in at just around 8 hours (ANC on) and 12 hours (ANC off) of playback in the earbuds. Add another 24 hours' worth of charge in the case and Fast Charge, and you get 1 hour of battery in 5 minutes, making these very respectable. Battery life is a non-issue as I get through a day of heavy use or a few gym workouts. The case adds 32 hours or 56 hours ANC off. The app is what you expect from Jabra. If you used it before, you will know what to do. Otherwise, it is simple and intuitive for anyone to use. Everything is laid out in an easy-to-find UI to finetune the sound with EQ or turn on Dolby Spatial Audio for supported devices. Most newer Android devices support Dolby Audio and are in for a treat, but it does alter the actual sound sometimes in a good way; other times, it can sound overprocessed. I look forward to what the software can do in-app over time with patches. These buds fit my active lifestyle perfectly, and I recommend them to anyone in the fitness world.
Favorite Features
Android - Dolby Spatial Sound for Media option, no such option for iOS. Bluetooth 5.3 with MultiPoint connects up to 2 devices simultaneously and without disconnecting.
These can be used in solo mode to make battery life even longer should you not need stereo in your environment. The magnetic charging cases you know and love from Jabra are a feature that saves time and annoyance trying to line up buds to charge. You can see the bud and case battery life on your phone in the app or notification. I like the case. It also has LEDs to indicate battery life for the case and buds separately. There is also Auto shutoff after 15 or 30 minutes to save power; believe it or not, it isn't standard on most buds.
The Jabra Elite 8 Active wireless earbuds are best for active fitness or outdoor enthusiasts. They are hands down the toughest for anyone who needs gear to stand up to rough work environments. Law enforcement and military - I'm talking to you, too! These offer excellent durability, battery life, connectivity, sound quality, noise cancellation, and app support. If you are shopping for rugged and reliable earbuds that can handle any workout or activity, Jabra Elite 8 Active is the answer!

Pros: These are totally waterproof, extremely easy to connect via bluetooth, never disconnect randomly and the case charges the buds. Cons: Calls sound muffled. People can hear you but still not as clear as non waterproof. I use wireless earbuds solely for music and its primarily live music- but I need bass as well. The music quality on these Jabras is absolutely horrendous. If you want bass and excellent sound quality go with Beats. Sennheiser is the only maker of wireless earbuds that offer better sound quality than beats; however they are not loud enough for me and continuously disconnect. They also stopped working within 2 weeks of buying/using daily. I will purchase those again if/when Sennheiser actually fixes all their issues. The Jabras i would only suggest if you work in the rain or are out in the water constantly and use for calls primarily. Theyre the only truly waterproof wireless earbuds I have found (thus 3 stars). I have tried most of the high end pairs of wireless earbuds and nothing beats BEATS. Still. Excellent customer service as always at BB in Mansfield Texas. Fox is wonderful!
