Had a couple cheap bluetooth headsets that would fail after a few months of getting sweaty. I invested in these earbuds because I wanted something that would last during harsh runs. Good audio quality, comfortable to use, and reasonable battery life. The charging case is certainly nice and I only find myself charging it on a weekly basis. The Jabra Sound+ app is a nice bonus if you need to tweak your listening experience a little bit. This is my first time purchasing a Jabra product; I think it's a nice alternative to your usual Bose or Sony equipment.
I'm currently replacing my nearly two-year-old pair due to a weak leftbud, but the customer service is friendly and responsive.

Perfect for Running

I've had these for about 3 years now. I wear them almost exclusively to run it. After roughly 2000 miles, I can honestly say I'll never buy another wireless earbud to run it. They check every box.
They fit securely in my ears and after a while, I forget they're there. No pain or discomfort at all. Every now and then I'll have to snug them a little during a run, but that's about it. They do get loose if you run in the rain - they actually create a suction on your ear and the water compromises that capability. I will say, since they fit so securely, I had to get used to the "thud" of my foot hitting the pavement reverberating in my ears. Stick your fingers in your ears and jog a few steps....that's what it's like. Luckily, I have the volume on mine turned up enough that I don't even hear it any more.
Very sturdy...I've dropped them on more than one occasion with no effect.
Great charge...once I charge the case, I probably get around 6-8 hours of run time before I have to charge the case again. I've never used them straight long enough to see how long the buds will operate before needing time in the case to recharge. Longest I've gone is maybe 90 minutes.
Easy to control....play/pause is easy. Skip/replay is a little tricky but its just because I'm trying to do it while I'm running.
I don't use them for calls at all.
App works fine but I don't use it.
The Hearthrough stuff only applies if you're using them for calls. If you have music on, for the Hearthrough to work, you have to have it turned down so low that there's no point to using it.

These were my first "higher end" bluetooth earbuds purchased, have had little success with cheap models. These do sound really good, OE tips do just fine for me in keeping the buds in my ear and remaining comfortable. I really only use them while working outside house but have jogged with zero issues of falling out. Options, many via buds themselves, are great to tune sound to personal preference, change volume, track, and noise cancelling from some ambient to none, and control house via Alexa. And best of all, these are reliable - take them out of the charging case, they connect immediately to phone, and you're off. No drops or disconnects experienced whatsoever. The only negative I have is that the left earbud has some static coming through when sound is emitted but you can only hear when volume is low. Jabra support was quick to provide a solution of completely disconnecting and reconnecting which I have yet to try. Either way, it's not a deal breaker as these are very reliable with great sound and fit.

These Jabra Active 65t are comfortable and stay in my ears throughout my intense workouts. The sound quality is amazing and you're able to adjust the sound according to bass levels and treble. There are a lot of options. The only concerning thing for me is the charging case. The charging case doesn't seem to secure the headphones in place. You have to be careful when you open the case because there is a potential of the earbuds falling right out.

I did extensive reseach and compared this earbuds with others on the market from different manufacturers like apple, bose, jaybird, samsung and came to the conclusion that the Jabra elite active offered the most balanced set of characteristics i was looking around like water resistance, decent baterry life, fit in the ear, clear calls, good sound, ambient sounds and noise cancelling features. What i specially liked the most is the immediate pairing when taking the earbuds out of the case.

A Comprehensive Review for Active Users

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Background: I am a runner, very active outdoors, office employee, on the phone quite a bit, just your typical expected user for this type of bud
I did a lot of research prior to this purchase, including the return of another true wireless pair of buds. I was skeptically optimistic, so I spent the first 24 hours putting these guys to the test. These are my findings:
- Incredibly firm in ear, even after a wicked sweaty 8 mile road run
- sound quality is extremely under-rated
- the app is great for controlling EQ, other toggles
- Call clarity good so far
- setup is rather seamless on all my apple devices and PC
- "hear-through" is incredibly useful to hear traffic or co-workers
- switches on each bud are buttons, not touch sensitive, which I found helpful to eliminate becoming overly sensitive when sweaty
- a lot of sound output- I barely have needed to vol up past 50%
- not as low profile as I wanted, but certainly not bulging from ears
- definitely water and sweat resistant. In fact, felt basically dry after running over an hour in 80 heat with humidity
- battery life is excellent and the lights give a great general indication of battery level.
- the charging case is surprisingly compact and secure.
- considerably more than I expected to pay, but you get what you pay for.
These are quality true wireless buds. Much care given to the way they nestle into the ear, very ergonomic! Even the packaging is quality - when opening, I was surprised to get a fresh waft of piney, Evergreen scent. First impressions count!
I am incredibly picky with my buds, especially as it comes to listening while working out. I don't want to continuously be agonizing over the in-ear fit, discomfort from bluetooth cords around my neck, or the sound quality. I don't expect to have these issues.
I highly recommend for the active user!

I’ve been a big fan of how Jabra makes and supports their products, that being said for the price it’s a good alternative to buy some lesser band Wireless earbuds... couldn’t find a fit that makes me feel the joy of using them as a around the house paired with my iPhone or my LG Smart TV or “maybe” the Gym (pre-Covid) however on a whim I invested $20 on a 3-pack limit use aftermarket ear tips by the brand named “Comply” ... with those tips it completely changes the fit and sound making it 100% better
The tips will last you conservatively 3 months or so.
Your mileage may vary ..
*note* only the (R) right ear bud can be used as a individual function and only the (L) ear bud can only be used with the (R) for complete stereo sound

Great sound quality but uncomfortable to wear

These earbuds offer excellent sound. I was very excited for a few days until I started to realize how uncomfortable they were to wear for longer than 45 minutes. The functionality, including hear-through where the microphones are used to pass in outside sound and customizable equalizer made these earbuds the best for the price on the market.
However, their biggest down side is their weight and bulkiness. They started hurting my ears when I wear them for longer than 45 minutes.
Other than that, the earbuds offer great sound quality and they stay in my ears very securely during a jog.
Fortunately, Jabra is coming out with the Elite 75t, which is smaller and lighter than these and somehow has even more battery life. I would wait for the new Elite 75t since it should only be a bit more expensive.

I was looking for a wireless earbud for working out. My criteria for a good headphone is sweat resistant, stays in place during activities and stays connected. These are water resistant and the sound quality was good and people understood me on the phone with no difficulty. The problems with these is they don’t stay in my ear. I am constantly adjusting them as they are falling out. When I put my hand on them to push them back in I inevitably hit a button which causes Siri to activate and ask me what I want. The left earbud frequently loses connection and I have to stop what I’m doing and reset it. The case can be difficult to open.

First of all, I can't stand any earbuds or headphones that stay in purely my jamming them into your ear canal. For me the generally don't stay in and when I jam them in deep enough to do so they are incredibly uncomfortable. I've been using Powerbeats 3's as my main workout headphones and really enjoyed them but wanted to go wireless. I was hesitant to try these because they go into your ear canal but after using them for a few weeks they absolutely rock! I've ran miles with these, done all kinds of dynamic workouts, jumped rope, and even laying on my side, these don't budge. They fit very securely, even when dripping in sweat, and are more comfortable than expected even after wearing for extended periods of time. They do a really good job blocking out my surroundings at the gym and block out a good amount of noise when I've been on a plane with them. I was really impressed by the audio passthrough feature while running too. With a quick double tap I can allow outside noise in, which can be adjusted through jabras phone app, so I can safely run outdoors and be aware of my surroundings. Battery life has been great as well. I use these at least an hour everyday and charge them maybe twice a week if I'm running a longer distance. I could keep writing why I love these. Jabra really knocked it out of the park with these in my opinion. These are definitely worth the money and highly recommended. I had airpods which I thought were awesome for the office by could not use them outside of that. Forget the airpods, spend the extra few bucks to get these.

Before considering these earbuds, I tried both Airpods models and was quite unimpressed.
I needed wireless, comfortable, the least noticeable and good sounding earbuds for teaching on camera, and I finally found the ones!
The material and build quality is very solid and by no means flimsy. I've gotten an orange version, and it is a vibrant but not glossy color. The earbuds are not slippery, and steadily sit in your ear, if you seal them properly.
All controls make sense and I love the buttons, rather than swiping some touch pads. There is volume - forward-backward control in your left ear and stop- play - take/drop a call in your right ear (+ some other controls when not on call).
I would encourage to use the Jabra app where you can enable or disable certain functions: hearing your own voice or the outside noise. Also, the app has free white noise, nature or meditation tracks. I find it very cool:)
The main advantage over the other earbuds is the quality of the sound! The spoken word, for sure. I was immediately told by students & friends that my voice sounds much better and clearer than any time before.
So far, I love everything about this earbuds! I would recommend trying them out despite the fact that Jabra is not as massively advertised as other brands.

The jury is still out on these for me. I've had them a few weeks and just not sure if I truly like them. First off, I got them on sale and wouldn't recommend paying full price. I was looking for a decent wireless earphone to run with, sweat resistant, and some form of noise cancellation is a bonus (even though these are passive).
For Running and general use - these for me, are hit and miss. Yes they stay in my ear and running/workouts are fine as far as the fit. But it is difficult for me to get used to these. They are passive in that they completely close your ear off. They present a very strange sensation for me, perhaps just a personal thing, but they also produce a loud "thumping" for every step. It is the strangest thing and difficult for me to get used to.
Noise Cancelling - I just did my first flight with them and I can tell you they perform well cancelling flight noise for what they are. You can tell a noticeable difference when you turn on "pass-through" and see how much flight noise they keep out. I can say after wearing them for about 4hrs on flight and walking through airport, they did start to hurt my inner ear.
General - the build is good, the case is good, the sound is decent, battery is actually pretty good and charges quickly, and they app works well, but I have had an issue with the left earpiece. I had read more than a few reviews stating the left would occasionally cut out, and sure enough it started doing that to me on my flight (the worst time). I unpaired them, turned them on/off, everything I could think of. I finally got fed up and put them back in the case and tried a little while later and they worked. Haven't had it happen again, but definitely annoying.
So this is a tough one for me, would I recommend them? Great size, good build, good sound...just nothing "excellent" in my opinion. I wouldn't say no, just to try them out and decide.

I picked these up on special after my jaybird x3 stopped working. The sound is decent out of the box until you adjust the equalizer on the Jabra app. Once you play around with the equalizer these earbuds really shine. The sound is amazing. I was scared at first that these were going to fall out while working out because I'm active and apparently I have small ears but these are surprisingly comfortable and absolutely won't fall out. Obviously make sure your ears are clean for best fit. I have no problems listening for several hours and they don't irritate my ears. The hear through feature is pretty cool. It only works if the volume is below 50% with music. But if there is no music playing, the hear through feature actually amplifies ambient noise. I accidentally realized that I could eavesdrop on conversations around me lol. The microphones are great and calls are very clear. And no lag while watching videos like some others earphones do. Definitely worth the money. Best I've ever had.

Sure these aren't the most expensive pair of wireless air buds you can get, but there are probably 100 options that are cheaper and they don't compare to these. I've tried a handful of cheaper alternatives to ear buds and they were all a waste of money. After purchasing these it was a whole new world the sound quality is great and noise canceling is amazing, it has the electronic noise cancel feature you can turn on and off which I very rarely turn on but works well. The app is nice and easy to use and i've never had issues with the battery or connectivity of these. Once these are in they are pretty comfortable and will never fall out, I use them while working out, running, work in and around the house and work in any situation. The phone call function also works well it is clear and people on the other end can't even tell the difference. I like them so much that I ended up buying 3 more pairs (for family or friends) that ended up loving them just as much. Will be upgrading to the newer models soon, these are 100% worth anyone trying.

These are a good set of earphones overall. Pros are good sound, fast connection out of the case, good fit, recharging case and 5hrs battery life of constant use. Cons are only the right ear can be used for phone calls. The left ear phone is completely dependent on the right one being connected. The case doesn’t “hold” the plugs magnetically so they may falls out upon opening the case. If you plan on switching them out as one ear gets low on battery forget it. The only wireless set that I’ve found that allow for independent use is AirPods. I’ve had Bose, Beats and AirPod to compare them to. Other than that one major negative they are overall a good set of earphones.

I use these in a variety of settings. I have even used them in the shower with no problems. I use one most of the time. The unit is very compact and the speaker and mic are very good. Ear piece is comfortable, certainly more comfortable than the various plantronics units I've had. I have never run out of power with them and have used them for music for over three hours at a sitting in several instances with no issues.
I use one for phone calls a lot. Works perfectly. I have a $200 ear piece and the one jabra works as well as that unit. I use both earbuds for music when I mow or fields and the sound is very good for earbuds. Just to confirm though, these do not match what you get with a pair of earphones. But they're still pretty good.
The Bluetooth is good, not great, and sometimes cuts out when I have the phone in my pocket, particularly the back pocket. But it doesn't drop calls and if you have issues, moving the phone closer to the earbuds generally solves the problem.
Overall, very robust and durable and dependable units. I really like them and use them almost hourly during the day nearly every day. They were worth the cost.

I like high volume and strong bass! These are very good for earbuds. The fit is very comfortable and the ambient setting is GREAT. The app is not really an app per say, more like a linked site to your headphones. I did the download but there is no software on my phone. Still, it works well! Syncs up fast and if your phone is ringing and you take the earbud out of the case, it will automatically answer the call, I like that. Also, if you take one out of your ear, the music/video will pause automatically until you put it back in your ear....NICE!

Bought these for my husband for Father's Day. We originally purchased a different brand, but they were terrible. Every time my husband put his phone in his pocket they lost connection. Needless to say, we were worried about purchasing another true wireless set of earbuds/headphones. However, after doing some research we decided to try out the Jabra Elite Active 65t and we are so glad we did! They are phenomenal! My husband uses them while doing yard work including mowing the lawn, and after a month now he has had no issues. He keeps his phone in his pocket and never has trouble with connection. The function that allows ambient noise is fantastic because he can listen to music and still hear me calling across the yard. Without that function on, they are also great, but completely noise cancelling. The battery life is also excellent. Even with his new phone, the headphones/earbuds will often outlast his phone battery. The case to charge them is also great. You can fully charge the earbuds twice without having to plug in the case. He is so happy to have given these a chance. They are excellent and well worth the price.

These fit my ear perfectly right out of the box. Connected immediately to my iPhone X. They block out ambient noise well and sound great. I also have the Jabra Elite Sport and must say the the Active 65t are more comfortable, sound about the same, but block out noise slightly better. Also they have longer battery life.

I’ve used a variety of headphones throughout several training blocks over the past 15 years, and I finally feel like I’ve found a pair of true wireless “sports” earbuds that will survive all seasons. The Elite Active 65t pair I’ve bought are quick charging, well-fitting, and deliver great sound — EVERY time I use them (I’ve been let down by other brands failing in one of the previous aspects or another during training runs.) So far, I’m very happy I invested in the 65t going into this year’s fall/winter long distance training plan.
