Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought for husband's bday gift in March 2024. Mid November 2024 the left bud started making static noises. He's tried various things to fix it but it didn't work. Looking to get a new set. He does like these so we'll probably try this set again and hope for the best.

Worse connectivity ever! I have experienced frequent disconnects while talking on the phone. Just terrible I also have the Elite 7 Active and the version 7 was excellent. These earbuds disconnect during phone calls constantly!

I'm picky about ear buds, and I've tried a lot of them, so five stars to me really means something. These are, hands down, the best ear buds I've used to work out in. Yes, I have some higher end ones that aren't really designed for workouts, but even against those, the sound quality and noise cancellation on these Jabras holds up. When you combine that with the water (sweat) resistance and the stability in your ears while moving around, it's an unbeatable workout combo. If there's one nit to pick, it's that I don't necessarily want to pause my program when I take out one bud to wipe some sweat away, but even that feature will seem like a large positive to some users. And it doesn't just pause your music (or TV show if they're linked to your Apple TV) when you take out one bud. It also switches the other bud to ambient sound pass-through because it assumes you might be taking out one bud to hear what's going on. Then it switches back to noise-cancelling when you put the bud back in. And make no mistake, you won't hear what's going on around you when these are in and noise cancelling is turned on. It's like the floor fan doesn't even exist, let alone is blowing air past you on high. It blocked out all but the highest register of sound coming from the rowing machine. Other than the sound coming through the buds, the loudest noise was my own breathing. You know how when you're snorkeling, the water mutes everything and makes your breathing sound loud in your own ears? That's what it was like. The sound was great right out of the box. Good response across the entire dynamic range, and plenty of volume on the low end, which can make or break ear buds in my opinion. Completely stable in your ears during any range of motion I encountered, and very comfortable. These would be perfectly fine as your everyday set of buds, but you can't beat them for working out in.

Made my ears hurt after an hour and fell out when I chewed food or gum.

Nice pair of truly wireless earbud headphones. 1. Sound Quality: these have really great sound quality in such a small package. These headphones really fantastic! Sound great at all volume levels. Sound is great with deep, rich bass and nice crispy clear highs, terrific overall audio performance. 2. Design and Build: These headphones are considered military grade, incredibly well-constructed and seem very durable to death. Drop-proof, dust-proof, water-proof, LIFE PROOF! They will stand up to the test of time. 3. Connectivity Options: Has standard simple to connect Bluetooth and case with USB charge port. 4. Battery Life: For hardcore enthusiasts who will likely appreciate these headphones, the battery life is crucial. The batteries in these headphones last a long time, well over a full day of playback at reasonable volume levels. I’ve not personally been able to outlast the batteries. Just plug them in when I sleep and they’ll never run out – or even low. 5. Price: Price of these headphones is right on par with similar styles and quality level on the market. Very fair price I think given their long top notch features and performance. 6. Overall really nice headphones with great fit, light feel and big sound.

Horrible. I’ve own them for like 15 months and one of the earbuds aren’t working.

Not great. A lot larger than the Apple air pods. Not really noise cancelling. I can hear everything around me just fine. My AirPods worked much better at blocking sound. Would not buy again.

If I could give this a negative rating, I would. The left ear bud has officially died after 18 days since I purchased them. Followed all of Jabras useless support tips and wasted enough time that they are no longer eligible for return and my crazy work schedule never has me off to go to a store. Biggest waste of $189 I've ever spent for a pair of headphones that didn't last long at all. Total trash and of course, won't even be able to get Best Buy to return these on my work trip to get a new pair.

These earbuds give Air Pods a run for their money for sure! Being an “Active” type of earbud, they are drop resistant and water, sweat, and dustproof. With 6-mic technology, it easily magnifies your voice while continuing to cancel out other bothersome noise. Like most wireless earbuds these days, they come with a rechargeable case with 8 hours of playback and 24 hours of wireless charging. Saying all of this, the earbuds still produce great tones through the highs and lows with a steady bass. I was very impressed with the Jabra ShakeGrip technology, which kept the buds stable and still in my ears as I worked out. I was also pleased with the adaptive noise cancellation - it filters out things that other headphones don’t, like wind noise and street traffic. This also is used during phone calls, making them quite clear. I have had zero issues with initial connection or steady connection with Bluetooth. It was also easy to connect to my wireless assistant and use commands for my phone from my earbuds.

Had an issue with the left earbud not functioning correctly.

I wish I could review these earbuds that I was supposed to get for my birthday. I was sold an empty box at the Inverness Store HWY 280. The manager refused to make it right so I am totally done with Best Buy which was my go to store for all appliance and electronics needs.

These earbuds are really that good! I always measure a good set of earbuds and headsets by way of build quailty vs price and the software. I have always liked using Jabra products and I have been using Jabra headsets at the office for almost a decade and they are pretty solid all around. For these earbuds, the Elite 8 series, is different that what I normally would gravitate to. I often go to for all out sound rather than the fitness. However, for some reason, I wanted to see if I liked these earbuds and compare to them to the buds I wear that I believe are sold for sound rather than the ruggedness of the product. The Elite 8 comes in a rather small box and minimizes the packaging which I appreciate. You get your normal medium sized ear cushions preinstalled and others in the box, the USB C charging cord, which are always super short, I just toss these in a drawer. But the great thing is that these can charge wirelessly. In opening the case and revealing the buds, the buds smelled like new band-aids. That's not a bad thing for me, but be aware there is a slight smell to them. I think it's because of the wrap used to make the buds waterproof and the case splash proof. The combo of these both make these a weirdly comfy wear. It feels like I am holding a pair of rubber gloves but at the same time very soft to the touch. Pairing was simple for my Android phone running Android 14 beta. The software was simple to set up as well. There is an EQ an presets, the ANC settings and so forth. All pretty straight forward. Then I finally put some music on and tested them out. And these do not dissapoint! First off, they are very comfy and makes sense for it being an earbud to work out. The battery life and usage of the ANC is pretty good, you can definately use these for a long sitting and then use the case to top them off and keep going for a good spell. The phone calls are decent as I expected. The preset EQ's are nice and overall a great and well done earbud for the price you pay. The only negative is that the buds and case can pick up some lint from time to time, I find myself brushing lint off the case a lot. Ok I am pretty OCD. But bottom line, would i recommend this? Yes! I have had the buds in for over an hour the first time I got it and there was no ear fatigue that I could discern. Very well done!

Pros: Super secure fit, rubberized earbuds material feels nice, sounds is decent, can use either bud at a time. Cons: Case is slippery (why not use same material as active buds and case), Take longer than other Jabra earbuds to connect coming out of the case, could be louder and better bass like the 75T, case magnet for buds not very strong (they can fall out with minimal shaking or fall). Had a problem with the right earbud not connecting when taken out of case. Had to put back in the case and take it back out. This happened quite a few times. Hear through is not good at all. Summary: Wanted to love these but they could be so much better. I've had Jabra 65T 75T 85T and other so I have a good idea on the comparisons. The 75T are still the go to buds for me. I'm my opinions the best buds Jabra has made to date. If Jabra could make an updated set of buds with the 75T sound and other features like wireless charging, serious hear through and ANC maybe even include spatial sound then they'd have a better set than all the others. For now I'll pass on these. Had to take them back while I really wanted to like them.

The Jabra Elite Active 8 True wireless headphones are awesome. I love the sound and the comfort is great. The ANC blocks out noise well. I love the interactive buttons which are easy to use. They stay in my ear well without falling out and are not huge at all. I have the AirPod Pro 2’s and the Bose QC 2’s, and the Jabra Elite Active 8’s are comparable to them without the price tag. They will be my everyday headphones to use from now until. Great job Jabra!!!!!

These are AMAZING! the sound quality is so immersive but also gentle, they are truly unmatched! I’ve had AirPods, audiotechinica, and everything in between! These are also supremely comfortable and they don’t slip out of place ever! 20/10!! Plus they are water resistant!!! Excellent product and would recommend to EVERYONE!

They doesn’t work like they announce, the sound is poor the app that can move the sound quality doesn’t work fine I do not recommend it. I am going to get it back to Best Buy I only used twice

I’ve owned several Jabra in-ear Bluetooth headphones over the last decade or two. The Elite 8 Actives are similar to the Elite 7’s, but I felt like bass was better. In addition, the noise canceling feature works quite nicely. Pairing to my iPhone was easy, and I also downloaded the app as suggested. The benefit behind downloading the app is getting some advanced options like bass boost, EQ, and registering the Elite 8s to get a 2-year warranty. I feel like the 2-year warranty is excellent, most headset makers limit their warranties to a year. As this is the ‘Active’ version of this headset, The Elite 8’s are intended to be worn and used everywhere. Trips to the gym, yard work in the warm Vegas air, even walking through Disneyland (I loved the noise-canceling feature there!) and getting rained on; through it all the Elite 8 Actives worked perfectly. They come with several different rubber grommets for fitting to the ear, and once I got the fit right, they stayed in my ears during strenuous activities. The sound quality was excellent. Best I’ve had in an in-ear? No. But, best I’ve had in an in-ear that was intended for active use. Bass was surprisingly full, midrange was full and detailed, and the highs were slightly rolled off. They didn’t get as loud as my old, worn out ears might have liked, but they sounded great. Highly recommended as an in-ear active headset.

So I'm not huge into reviews but the people need to know. So I really enjoy these. After going from the jaybird vista's anything else I tried was hot garbage. I workout very heavily Gym use, running, sprints, you name it. I do it. After trying everything else on the market with or without wing tips I found these. I have huge ear canals so anytime I tried anything else without wing tips they never stayed in. These bad boys stay in. Seriously. I could have a seizure and they'd stay put. The sound is awesome. The anc is ok but you honestly dont need it. These guys are so snug/comfortable you dont need need anc. I cant hear anything else with them in. Unless the hear through is on. For anyone who needs serious gym buds, running buds, or just something with awesome sound these are them. I love that its a physical button in each bud that isnt to hard to press. No accidental bud touches. The eq is customizable for even better personal tones. Just buy them. You wont be sorry. And no, this wasnt a promotional review.
