    I’d give them three stars, but the app and reliable button controls add a star for me. The sound is on par with my cheap Amazon Tozo NC9 earbuds.

    Better than IPod pros and less expensive. Fitment is a bit of an issue, with slightly more fatigue, but that could just be a personal issue.

    Didn't Work for Me

    The first pair I bought didn't work - the left bud never turned on. This is the second pair I bought and they didn't fit my ears despite trying all three ear gel sizes. The ANC wasn't effective effective at all - almost no difference between transparent, "off" and full ANC - perhaps because I couldn't get a good fit. They might work better for others.

    Great for individuals with Larger ears. For people with small ears they pop out once you strat jumping around, but work great for everyday listening use! I still use with MP3 players and computer but for my work outs I invested in a smaller style!

    Good quality, design and sound. But the left earbud skips in and out constantly. It's almost like it's not getting a good signal because if I take either the right or left out and move it just a fraction of an inch away from my head, the signal nearly drops out. Unacceptable for a product that costs $230 so I'll be returning.

    I picked these up because all the reviews claimed these were good and because I needed earbuds for the office. The sound quality, although decent, is too low for my liking. Not only that, but people on the other end either say that the background noise is way too loud, or I sound muffled. I would take these back, but I'm past my return period.

    Worse Jabra earbuds made to date...

    I have bought the 65t, the 75t and now the 85t. The 85t although fit my ear better is the worst device to date. The left ear bud has a lot of static noise which started happening a few months after I bought it and after researching Jabra advice was to update the software again. The static went away for about 10 minutes and came back. It's pass the return period. Waste of money... Return it before the problem starts if it hasn't already...

    I love these ear buds. I use them every day multiple hours per day. They have become a work horse for me that I just don't leave home without. They are less problematic than some of the others I tried.

    Pros: many options to customize in the app including the EQ. They were on sale. Can connect to multiple devices. Good for phone calls. They stay on your ears. Cons: They sound is okay even with the EQ adjustments these do not have a premium sound for the retail price. The previous model sounds better and the bass is cleaner. Noise canceling is okay not top tier.

      Hello Thecooldude45- We appreciate your feedback about the Jabra Elite 85t. We are glad to hear you like the call quality, fit, and functionality of the Elite 85t. We are also happy you enjoy all the customizable features we offer for the Jabra Elite 85t in the Jabra Sound+ app. We regret, however, that you are not completely satisfied with the audio quality of your Jabra Elite 85t compared to previous devices. We believe that the Jabra Elite 85t maintains a nice balance between the highs, mids, and lows of the audio you listen to. To get the best possible audio quality with your Elite 85t, we recommend making sure your earbuds are placed correctly in your ears. You can check our support page article to ensure you have the proper adjustment with your Jabra Elite 85t: https://www.jabra.com/supportpages/jabra-elite-85t/100-99190000-02/faq/How-do-I-get-the-best-fit-with-my-Jabra-Elite-85t#/. Ensuring you have the best fit with the eargels on your Jabra Elite 85t earbuds is also vital for making the most out of the noise cancellation function of your earbuds. A snug fit will create a seal around the outside of your ear canal, which will, in turn, prevent ambient noise from getting into your audio stream. Furthermore, we strongly encourage you to check out our support article, linked here: https://www.jabra.com/supportpages/jabra-elite-85t/100-99190000-02/faq/How-do-I-get-the-best-sound-when-listening-to-music-and-watching-videos#/, which details our helpful tips and tricks on how to get the best possible audio quality with your Jabra Elite 85t. The Elite 85t also boasts a 12mm speaker where previous models used a 6mm speaker so you should have better sound. If you are still not satisfied with the audio quality of the Jabra Elite 85t after checking out our support articles, we recommend taking the MySound test found in the Jabra Sound+ app in order to tailor your listening experience even further. The MySound test is an audio test made up of various tones played at different frequencies in both your left earbud and right earbud, respectively. The results of the test are then used to create a personalized audio profile for the wearer. Your MySound profile is used to calibrate your Jabra device to optimize your music listening experience and is saved to both your Jabra Elite 85t earbuds and to your Sound+ app to ensure you are always getting the best possible audio quality. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns about your earbuds: https://www.jabra.com/supportpages/jabra-elite-85t/100-99190000-02/contact-support#/. We appreciate your feedback, and we are here for you! Jabra
