    These were the worst earbuds I have ever had. The fit did not feel right and I have never had an issue with earbuds. I tried both medium and large and it did not feel good at all. I tried to look past that and continued using them but if I left an ear bud out of the case and put it in my ear, I had to put it back in the case to get it to reconnect before I could use it again. Extremely annoying. I also had issues with the right ear bud connecting. I typically use only one ear bud so I can maintain some sort of situational awareness and I could not get the right earbud to work independently. I had to put both ear buds in then take the left out in order for it to work. Also annoying.

    Do not buy the 8s... buy the 7s or 75 elite

    I highly do not recommend the Elite 8s. By no means would I consider myself an audiophile. I simply buy earbuds and primarily use them to workout, do lawn work, etc. Main purpose is using in the gym. I have owned 65 elite, 75 elite, 7 active and now my most regrettable purchase of 2023 8 active. Active 8 got larger. They got taller but width was smaller. Overall its larger and feels more squared. It does fit overall well. I prefer the active 7 fit by far. The absolute worst part about these earbuds, their sound quality. I only used these 3 times now, but they are terrible. Even the noise they make when you take them from the case and put them in your ears sounds awful. The highs are not good. They tried to make it have more powerful bass and destroyed the sound quality overall and I don't think the bass is even noticeably louder. *Side Note- I did not touch the equalizer-- maybe if I did this would fix, but I have never really been a fan of changing the equalizer settings, as the best general listening in the gym for me has been leaving it flat across the board*. They reduced your control. The 7 active and 75 elite (eventually) you could set the ANC--- overall ANC has always been pretty meh. The ANC is not terrible, I am not a fan of ANC... it does block out a good bit of louder noises, but it does not block out talking at all. I could hold a conversation with people with no problem with ANC on, this was not true for the previous 2 generations. Hearthrough... words cannot describe how bad this feature works on the 8 actives.... it amplifies everything I could hear clearly and everything I'd actually want to hear is muffled out. At the gym I can hear every bang the plates and dumbbells make but could not hear a person standing 3 feet from me talking to me. I'd imagine if I used walking around a roadway I'd assume get similar results. I'd hear someone holding the horn down extra amplified, but would not hear their car accelerating. (Not actually tested) I regret spending $200 on these. I'd actually struggle to justify paying $20 with the first hand experience of using these. I do recommend using the Active 7 or 75 elites for the gym. The Active 7 are by far the best fit and the best sound. They unfortunately are lacking in the durability department. I am on my 3rd pair currently. (Would be 4th but I got lucky that pair 2- the right earbud went out, pair 3, the left earbud went out... so I could pair the 2 working together. Only 1 pair was returned on the warranty (2 months). 2nd pair missed warranty by 3 days. 3rd was still on warranty but didn't bother (it is very annoying to do all the tests and pictures they want plus ship/wait for replacement... when I could pair the two working earbuds I had). The 75 elites are overall the best. Little larger than the 7s. Sound quality is minimally lesser. Fit is about the same, but I'd rather have the smaller earbud. I own all 5 pairs of 75s I have bought. (Bought 3 pairs when they had a great deal on them).

    These were my third set of Jabra earbuds. My first two sets were replaced by Best Buy under warranty because one ear stopped working just under 2 years of owning. I liked them until they started to lose the connection to the charging case while inside the case. This would lead to the ear buds not being charged when I needed them or randomly taking over my phones audio while I was driving. Jabra customer service sent a replacement pair quickly which was nice but now it's starting to happen again with the new pair less than 2 months later

    These were very comfortable in my ears, however, the noise cancelling sucked, sounded tinny, and phone calls did not sound good. Wanted something that could handle the sweat and dust. But I couldn't handle the poor sound quality for the price.

    The pairing of these headphones to my phone was simple and straighforward. The fit is excellent, once they were in I didn't have keep refitting them. My current headphones have to be constantly adjusted when I'm in the gym. The battery life seems to be pretty good, I use them for a couple of hours a day and they never died on me. I'm still waiting to see when I will have to charge the case. By the way, the case also supports wireless charging. Very durable, I've been very clumsy lately and dropped these headphones multiple times without any damage or problems. Sound quality is very good. There is also an app that lets you further tweak the settings of the sound and the ANC. Speaking of the ANC, it works extremely well, I could not hear anything else during my workout. In the supermarket where I turned off ANC, I was able to hear other people around me speak and I was able to speak to the cashier during check out. Making and receiving phone calls was a breeze, no issues at all. There are no cons for these headphones so I am giving them 5 stars. These are my second pair of Jabra headphones and I am happy with them just like I was with the first pair.
