    The sound quality was excellent, however the battery life was poor. I couldn't get through a 4 hour flight. Disappointing.

    These work great but are not water proof

    These are the best! The only issue is that if they go thru the wash they do not recover. I know that that seems like a no brainer but we have gone thru numerous sets because "they don't wash well". The case is small so they fit on your pocket well, thus the problem of going thru the laundry. They do work very well which is why we keep buying replacements.

    Sound quality becomes excellent with the personalized audio profiles offered by the Jabra sound app. The ANC is good. Controls are very good. The Elite 85T is remarkably faster then the Elite Active 75T in processing sound. The only negative is the silicone earbud tips takes a learned insertion and twist to make secure. But, it has a tendency to work itself loose. Please replace tips with a tip that works for you.

    Great sound, IMHO. The app allows me to shift with the situation and background environment too. I stick with Jabra because the fit rocks. But I bought 3rd party tips to get really comfortable.

    So far, I rate this a good for what they do well: compact, stylish, hold a charge well, useful app, good sound, but not great for what they don't, which is stay in my ears. The first time I used them one fell out and went under a shelf unit in Walmart. Luckily it was not too far back and I was able to retrieve it, but that has made me wary of where and when I wear these. I will keep using them because of what they do well, and hope the fit will improve or I will figure out how to make them fit properly. I just hope I do not lose one along the way. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

    Got these at the recommendation of a BB employee for their microphone quality for Zoom meetings, then compared these vs. the newest airpods, the sound quality was sooo much better. Thrilled with the microphone quality, battery life, and feel. Save ur money and get these instead of airpods!

    I am extremely happy to have purchase these after being a long time user of the 65t pair. The sound quality is excellent and I am extremely happy to have the anc feature. This help me get my work done in a high noise output area at my employment. Also have these set for both my work and personal computer helps me make the smooth transition to my school work too.

    Ideal for listening on the road. Also, grateful for the longer battery life than my previous headset. Also, people hear me better on the phone. That's very important to me since putting a phone my ear is a form of torture. So being clearly heard without having to shout is important.

    Nice little earbuds. Upgrading from the iabra 65ts, the microphone quality on the 65ts is better by a long shot, but features on this one are more to my liking. Wireless charging case and active noise canceling are nice features to have that mke my life easy, but if youre looking for a set of earbuds with amazing microphone quality, go with the 65ts.

    I absolutely love my new Jabra 85t earbuds. I had the 65t earbuds and gave them to my son when he decided he wanted nicer earbuds. I got these on sale for $109.00. I would recommend being careful when wireless charging these. I used the Mophie wireless charger I got from Best Buy. They got warm, not hot, and stopped charging. I no longer wireless charge them. They work just fine after that though.

    I have been using this earbuds almost daily for my exercise routine about 2-3 hours. I used to use the Jabra Elite Active 65t until they stopped working for me and I have to get this one. They fit really nice but when I was doing incline abs the earbuds can't stay in my ears. I have to constantly press against my ears. I tried the medium the large size of the silicone piece and they still don't stay well inside my ears. The Elite Active 65t fit better than this one. Other than that...The Elite 85t sounds better than the Elite Active 65t. Remember that the 85t Right Side ear buds will drain the battery faster.

    I’m totally pleased with the functionality, the earbuds have a great fit, comfortable, they don’t fall out, and the sound is amazing when I’m listening to my music it’s as if I’m there at the concert, phone calls are also just as vivid it as if the person is right there in the same room speaking to me. I’m so impressed with the product that I’m going to buy a pair for my cousin.

    Love them! These are my second pair (dog chewed up last set)! Easy to navigate and sound great! My only two cents to add is that having the correct rubber pad size is critical for the audio. At first I wasn’t that impressed how they sounded, decided to try a different size and it literally made a world of difference!

    I have tried Apple, Google, Sony, Beats, and this. Apple are good for phone but does not connect with TV. Google are good overall but are sound is limited to mid range volume, lower frequency sound is punchy. Sony does not work if you’re sleeping side ways and connected with TV. Bears are good overall but bit odd design for me. >>>>>These are good for calls, easy controls, proper battery, watching any TV in any position comfortable-fit etc.
