    I love the sound quality and active noice cancelation on these earbuds. My only critique is the silicone tips do not fit quite perfectly and if I move my jaw for any reason they loosen up and tend to fall out, but it is a minor gripe for the sound quality and build quality for the price.

    Very very comfortable! However, the noise-cancellation isn’t as good as the Apple AirPods Pro ANC- but I still prefer these headphones over the AirPods because of their comfort and ease of use. They are a little difficult to update, firmware wise.

    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.

    Sound is comparable to the Jabra Elite 75T Active pair I have. The ANC is a bit better. Occasionally, the headphones will sound very quiet and I have to turn them on and off to fix. Not sure why that is. Otherwise, they are great for workouts and running as well as casual listening.
