    I wear these daily in the gym and for outdoor runs. I love the sound quality and the ability to toggle the active noise cancellation (I don't want to hear the conversations in the gym) to active noise cancellation with hear through for outdoor runs so I can hear what is going on around me. There are other great features like pausing playback when you pull out one earbud and Alexa integration.

    I previously owned the Jabra 75t, but after losing them in a move I went on the hunt for an upgrade. I was beyond happy with Jabra, but wanted to expand my horizons so I tried a plethora of other brands including Apple, Sony, and Samsung. I can say definitively that Jabra remained better and more consistent in comfort, sound, and app support. I have smaller ears so most ear buds don’t fit comfortably, but Jabra feels as though they’re made for me and this - for me - is the biggest selling point. I can wear them for hours without pain. The only downside I can really think of is that the ‘Find my Jabra’ function on the app is no where near as helpful as the ‘Find My’ functionality offered by Apple, but this is only a minor complaint from me even though I lost my initial pair of Jabras. Comparing the 75t and 85t, this is also a nice upgrade in terms of call quality and has a rechargeable case. I don’t think I would have necessarily run to make the upgrade unless I had to.

    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

    Posted .
    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.

    The gold standard in Bluetooth headphones. Other headphones might feature more flashy colors or feature, but if you want exceptional quality for the right price, these are the ones. I’ve owned several pairs of jabras and the competitors but I always come back to this series for the quality of sound and the noise cancellation performance.

    I grabbed the wrong color but that's my fault. I had previous jabras for about 3 years until i dropped an earbud. I've dropped them multiple times already. These new ones are bigger but you cant beat weeks going to the gym without charging. A few new features. They're expensive but reliable and I think its worth it.

    If you're used to Jabra earbuds, this one way more bulky in-ear than the 75t active. Do not recommend. I replaced with the Elite 7 Pro and am much happier. Elite 7 pro doesnt have a hero bud. The 85t does have the hero bud which requires you to always use the right bud every time. Sound and app are the same as previous Jabra headsets except there is a new feature which does a personal sound test. Good set but definitely prefer the ones with less bulk like the elite7 pro.

    Bought these earbuds on a friend's recommendation and I'm glad I did. They can be connected to two devices at a time and can easily switch between devices. The volume can be lowered or increased by clicking the earbuds. The noise cancelling works great and the audio quality is amazing. The left earbud with not work on its own, only the right one will.

    The Jabra Elite 85t sounds great. The noise cancellation is awesome. I love the sound test it does at the beginning to customize the sound to your ears. The fit is very secure. At no time did I feel like they were going to fall out. It's discounted to $200, which is still expensive, but you won't be disappointed if you get it.

    I am a bit of an audiophile so I have collected lots of headphones and earbuds over the years. After researching what was available in my price range, these seemed to get some of the best reviews so I made the leap. Happy I did. These sound great and the ANC is fantastic. Easy to set up and operate and the app with EQ makes it even better as well as the various settings you can apply to customize the push button settings. Phone calls are clear with no complaints from people on the other end. My car is very quiet so I can't say how they would do in a setting with more noise but they work great for me. As with just about any buds, they do however tend to wiggle their way out if I am talking or eating so I have to push them back in on occasion. I found that keeping them clean as well as my ear canals tends to hold them in place better. Keep in mind they are earbuds not headphones so the sound quality is limited somewhat due to the simple laws of physics but I am happy with them overall and use them daily.

    Though, I prefer the sound of the Jabra 75t (do to it's deep bass) and more compact size, I love the 85t. The 85t connectivity is far more reliable and stable and the sound is more balanced in the mid to high tones. I love the wireless charging and battery life.
