Great earbuds. Better ANC than my Sony - WF1000XM5. Just a little bigger than my other earbuds.

My case stop working after a couple month. Noice cancellation is good. Saves a lot of headache from loud sirens and trains. The connectivity is horrible on an I-PHONE, easier on an android.

Much better than expected. Sound, call quality, ANC, app, IPX4 and small case made this my go to earbuds, over AirPods Pro.
Tested Bose Quitecomfort earbuds and Sony WF1000-mx4’s. 85t’s just a better full package. Ultimately, great fit, sound quality, call quality, form, controls, app, and value is way better than anything out there today

Overall one of the best TWS earbuds. The new unique oval eartips are a game changer for comfort, I can wear these for much longer than conventional round tips with little discomfort. Connection, comfort, battery life, ease of use are all excellent. The noise cancellation blew me away for home and office, will be testing it on a plane soon. The multipoint from Jabra is fantastic I am not always strictly in one operating system.

ANC works better than any other in ear headphones I've tried. Sound quality is well above average. Hear through has come in handy. Haven't had a need to use the app much but seems decent. Different size rubber fittings is a plus and these are very comfortable even after 2-3 hours of use. Battery life isn’t amazing if you have ANC turned on, but that's typical.

Awesome sound but right ear dominant

This is my third pair of jabra earbuds. I do metalwork and am constantly around loud equipment. These really help take the decibels down and connect easily to my phone.
The batteries seem to last a long time 4-5 hours of constant use with loud music and they pair well. The sound is great.
The only thing I don’t like about this brand is the right ear is dominant. Meaning you can’t have just the left ear in. I’m left handed, footed, and eared(?). It’s a big deal for me to have just the left ear in sometimes and I either have both on or none, but never just my right ear. If you’re right eared, these will be perfect.

Great ANC and Sound

Excellent!! The people that say the bass is lacking are not doing something correct or defective units.
The ANC makes a huge difference from off to on, and the adjustments are nice when you need to hear people around you call your name.
if the music doesnt sound awesome enough with ANC on, turn it off and it clears up nicely! every detail in the music s present and clear.
calls sound slightly tinny but theres an adjustment for that and fixes it nicely.
the software tunes the sound to your ears (like a hearing test, tap when you hear the sound) and makes a nice difference in quality.
on the other end of a call I have been told it sounds perfectly clear and little to no background noise.
they are top quality with the only issue I have is they are slick and my fat fingers have issues getting them out of the case.
small price to pay for all the good these have.
relatively comfortable, dont fall out when chewing like normal in the ear style. (Airpods, Samsung buds, etc.).
Love them so far!!

I really wanted to like thses earbuds. The sound is pretty decent and the app is also Ok. They just dont have big enough eartips. I did find the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have 5 sizes of eartips. And they fit better for me. Im not a fan of these silicone eartips. Memory foam tips are 1000 × better. They seal out outside noise naturally so your volume can be less and sound is better. They also increase bass naturally by sealing your ear canal. I only gave 4 stars because of the fit for me. They will probably be perfect for you.

Great true wireless earbuds with ANC! A worthy upgrade to the Jabra Elite 65t, with more comfortable earbuds, smaller case, better battery life, and inclusion of ANC on top of passive noise isolation. Really enjoy using these. That said, ANC is not on par with the best ANC headphones (e.g. Bose QC35), sound can be a bit muddy (leans bass heavy), and price should be more competitive. But overall package is excellent.

These are great earbuds as all other Jabra models are, but they would fall out of my ears during the classes I teach every day for several hours. I use Jabra 65 t Elite Active and they work better for me. The controls layout is also better on the 65 t model. But, of course, these ones have ANC, a magnetic case and they are smaller.
The 85t are better than the Airpods which I've also tried.

Good for flight ANC

I was hesitant to purchase as I am a bose fan. I have over the ear bose ANC (active noise canceling) headphones and wanted a smaller replacement.
The ANC feature is very good, not a great as over the ear unit, but very good.
The talk thru feature is even better, it eliminates removal of the buds when speaking with someone and allows you to hear yourself and lower your speech to match the area you are talking.
The app allows switching features on and off, which I found good while on a plane.
My only issue is connecting to in flight entertainment. They require a wired output and you cannot connect with these. In flight entertainment did have capability to bluetooth for operating the screen, but no sound (weird). I thought you would be able to connect the charging box and then bluetooth the box to your buds, but that is not supported. My older bose headphones were wired so this was easy. That is the only down side.
Fit worked well with the 3 sizes offered. Take the time to do the fit test, it helped greatly. The app directs you to sound and fit. The app directed me to change the inserts and it did make a big difference. This is not my first jabra product, and won't be my last.

Best earbuds owned to date! I recently lost my AirPod Pro’s on a boating trip so had to buy a replacement. After much research and trying several I bought the Jaba Elite 85s and could not be happier! Super comfortable, awesome sound, great bass, great noise cancelling and great fit! Love em’. I won’t be going back to Apple as these are so much better.

i have had these for 18 days now and of course with anything there are pros and cons with every purchase, i really wanted another high end sony buds, but they were out so they had these there and asked the sales lady are these really good? so i took them. first i downloaded the jabra app and they paired right up, i put on some music and holy moly i was like, dang,, these sound good, called a friend and they worked really well and the app has so many cool aspects to the app that you can change different sounds options and hear through, noise cancel, off, eq variations and the buds come with 3 different ear molds and a c-type cable, but these also connect to 2 devices at the same time, crazy right?. and the sound of the low end is so nice to have. i washed my face with them on once cause i forgot i had them on, but they are spalsh proof, not water proof and i dont want to find out, so you can find that out for yourself, haha, the one problem have is if you want to use on of them, you can only use the right one, you cant use the left one cause it wont connect, cause if you right goes you need to let if charge for 15min to get an hour charge from it. i thought jabra was just cheap in ear phone mic, but i think you will like these if you are looking to go without wires, like these a lot. i hate to say it , but i like them better then the t1000 sony buds...

Sound quality is great. ANC works well. Fit is good. I have small ears so they stick out a bit further than the previous generation Elite 75t. Buttons are a little hard.

Good sound, comfortable, ANC useless

Good: Very good sound, reasonably comfortable. You think they are going to fall out or not fit well enough to get good sound, but they seem to stay in and sound very good. Sound better than my Soundcore Spirit Pro and my Nuforce BE Live 5 non-ANC buds. About equal to the good sound on my $30 GoGroove Airband over the ears headphones. Would use them all the time, except they are uncomfortable when it’s above 70 outside.
Bad: ANC (even on level 5) basically useless. Makes a slight difference, but main advantage of turning ANC on is the music sounds dramatically better. With ANC on full, I can still hear my sneakers and my dog’s feet on the pavement. Distant road noise is ever so slightly less. Issue is, when you turn ANC off (to extend battery usage,) music sounds horrible! Cannot dicern difference between level 1 and level 5 ANC. I use them with both my iPhone 8 and iPad Pro – same issue. Why even have an Off option ( ANC /Hear Through/OFF selection? ) Sound in OFF mode is not usable. It might extend battery life, but you can’t listen to the music!
The Sound + app is nice – shows battery life (drains quickly!) and allows you to change eq. (“Smooth” preset best for me – flattened the iTunes Music setting on my devices. ) Somewhat sleptical re/ the “privacy” when using the App. The extensive verbage implies it knows most of hat I’m doing and using! No obvious way to Opt Out of anything. Tried the “fit Test” several times using all the ear tips and tried to adjust position each time, but kept giving the “try different tips and/or adjust position” message.
The on board 85t buttons are convenient – I use mostly pause music and volume up and down.
Still evaluating Battery Life – after 20 min usage, the Sound + app says I’ve used 20%. Hoping remaining battery life is not linear!

Good sound but not great. Bass is not as good as active 75t.
Fit is also not as good & secure as 75t and I feel that the buds may fall if i move around too much.
ANC is very good but if i look at passive noise cancellation plus the new ANC update done to elite active 75t, I feel it kind of same.
It feels little heavier also compared to active 75t although still pretty light compared to other earbuds in the market,
I dont think this is a great upgrade over active 75t considering active 75t with wireless charging case is $149 at costco for thanksgiving as well as active 75t are more rugged.

Jabra Elite Active 75T is the pick of the lot

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have actually used the 65T, 75T, 75T Active (75T-A)and 85T during the last year so my review is based on actual experience. I purchased the 65T in Oct, 2019 only to find that the 75T was round the corner. I ended up purchasing the 75T and after using it for a week along with the 65T, I returned the 65T because the 75T was superior in almost every way. Fast forward to June, 2020 and I ended up losing the 75T. I waited for a few months and then purchased the 75T Active only to find, yet again, that the 85T is round the corner :). I purchased it from Best Buy who have it in stock ahead of Amazon and I have been using both for the last several days. My conclusion: I will be returning the 85T and holding on to the 75T-A. Why? Read on...
1. Size and fit: The 85T is larger and somehow it never seems to fit snugly in my ear. No such problem with the 75T-A. I never get the confidence that the 85T will stay securely lodged in my ear. Jabra has changed the ear piece from round to oval and it might work better for some, but not for me. the 85T feels just as comfortable as the 75T-A but I don't want to have to worry that it might fall off, particularly when I'm running or riding my bike. Winner: 75T-A
2. Case: The 85T case is visibly larger and smooth. I however, like the grippy feel of the 75T-A case. I find it easier to remove the earbud from the 75T-A case and the magnets in the case also seem stronger. This, combined with the grippy feel of the case and earbuds, reduces the probability of dropping the ear bud while removing it from the case. Ditto for when I have put the buds back into the case. The 75T-A buds seem to 'snap' into place more reassuringly then the 85T buds. The 85T earbuds sit deeper in the case, so need to be gripped firmly while removing them from the case. A non-slip coating would've definitely helped. Note: I have purchased the wireless charging version of the 75T-A case. Winner: 75T-A
3. Sound: This is naturally subjective, but for me the winner is 75T-A hands down. There is greater clarity and more bass, but not overwhelmingly so. All the 4 headsets sound different and I like the 75T-A the most. I was disappointed with the 85T. Music sounded rather 'subdued' no matter how I much I adjusted the settings in the app. Winner: 75T-A
4. ANC: This is supposed to be the highlight of the 85T and it works quite nicely. However with the recent update along with the tight seal in the ear, the 75T-A more than holds its own and I am unable to find a lot of difference. It is not possible to adjust the ANC level in the 75T-A (unlike the 85T) but I don't think that this is a big enough drawback to spend the extra $$ for the 85T. Winner: Draw
5. Wireless connection: The 85T connects connects more quickly with my iPhone 6S compared to the 75T-A. It is connected and ready for use by the time I have it secured in my ear, while the 75T-A is still connecting by the time the earbud is in ready in my ear. Winner: 85T
6. Active use: I use the earbud in one ear while riding my bike. I ride long distances and sweat quite a bit, so the 75T-A definitely has the edge here. Winner: 75T-A
7. Phone calls: I found no discernible difference in performance. Both perform satisfactorily. I recommend checking YouTube for more detailed analysis of the same. Winner: Draw
Based on all of the above, and the discounts available for the 75T-A, I am unable to justify the nearly $80 difference between the 75T-A and the 85T. If the 85T had sounded better, I might have been tempted but that's not the case. I think Jabra will improve it via firmware updates but I am surprised that they decided to mess with the outstanding sound delivered by the 75T-A.
