Jabra Elite 65t Alexa Enabled True Wireless Earbuds Charging Case – Titanium Black

This is for the regular Elite 65T after using it for like 5 days. I debated and did bunch of research between Active and Elite. The main concern was battery life due to the step in Active and Elite falling out. Well, it never fall out for me so I'm satisfy. Pro - Wireless and can connect to multiple device. I use it for my PC and cell phone. - Rapid charging and last ~5 hours. - Wireless charging in the case is one of the main reason why I bought it. Didn't like my previous wireless needing to plug into the earbud to charge - Charging the case is fast. I'm not sure if the case have rapid charging capability but within 1 hours, my case is full. - Regular Elite 65T does not drop out of the ear. Make sure you rotate it after you put it in. I ran on the treadmill for hours multiple days and no sign of it falling at all. Even the sweat didn't affect it much (except making it a bit more slippery when I took it off) - No voice out of sync at all when watching movies - Hear-through is great. I haven't try too much in public places but I can definitely hear sound from further away if my slider is up high. It would also amplify my key press while typing this review. Only recommend if you want awareness. - There is an equalizer in the apps, but almost every music apps have them too. I don't play around with those, just standard guy who listen to music as is. - The Sound apps also have background music if you want to go sleep like Oceans wave or Rainy background. Not sure if that the purpose of it though, Have 3 profile, Regular, Commute and Focus (study mode) Con - Randomly drop signal for 1 sec like once every 3-5 hours? I'm ok with it but many like it to be perfect. I also notice, if the device you connecting to have crappy bluetooth, you can expect some signal loss. With my S8 phone, no signal drop at all. - I prefer that my Right Earbud, pressing it once would automatically activate my voice assistant like Ok Google or Alexa. I have to press the button then say those command. Just a personally preference. - Don't really like pressing buttons into my ear, but something I can get use too. So I sacrifice my body for some numbers. I would not listen for 5 hours straight next time. Stopwatch and battery level based on the Sound apps at 50-75% volume. This is for my Earbud. Yours may be different but it should give you a picture somewhat. 1hr 03min 92% 1hr 12min 88% 2hr 03min 62% 2hr 45min 50% 3hr 13min 43% 4hr 10min 23% 4hr 39min 9% Battery low announcement 4hr 49min 4% 4hr 53min 2% Dead Now, here the thing with Rapid Charging using a fully charged case. It blew my mind compare to what was advertised: 10-15min charging for addition 1.5hr music. I did exactly 10min charge = 52% so based on my stats, that about 2hr Overall, it was a hefty price to pay but was worth it since I really needed wireless earbud to PC usage. I first did Large left and Medium right but the left side got really uncomfortable after 30min. End up doing Med/Med but keep noticing that my right ear felt loose/strange. I just swab to left Med and right Large and it feel better now. Trial and error. I really hope it last for 1-2 years.

First of all, I've been using this product practically daily for a month now. I previously used traditional wired apple earbuds so that the extent of my earbud experience. Given that, purchasing Jabras has been a huge boost in my overall quality of life. Pros: -Really good battery life, I was worried about this at first but I charge it maybe once or twice a week, and I use it quite frequently. Definitely lasts a lot longer than I thought, also charges very quickly. -Sound quality is noticeably different from regular apple earbuds. I've been able to pick up new details in songs and it's been very enjoyable to listen through all of my favorite songs again. -Fits very snuggly. The shape makes it so that you never have to worry about it falling out, great for exercise or movement. -Very attractive design, when worn. It's not noticeable enough to be a centerpiece like the airpods but it still has enough prescnece to be noticed. A lot better for those who don't want to be as flashy but still value an attractive aesthetic. Cons: -The case feels cheap. The overall shape is a bit awkward to fit into pockets but mostly, the top of the case feels flimsy to use. I haven't had any issues yet but whenever I open the case, I can feel the material's shape change under pressure. Hard to describe but I suppose I just expected a bit more from the case given the high price of the product. -Slight static like sound when taking them off. Nothing major, but again, something very minor that'll always be there. Although it won't make or break whether or not someone will buy it, it's still something I'd hope gets fixed. -The sound system is not very flexible. The music stops playing on the left earbud once it's far away enough from the right one. As a result, you can't really share the earbuds with a friend and have both listening to it at the same time. Pretty annoying but it's fine if you don't have friends. I'm sure there are more pros and cons but this is just what I've come up with on the top of my head. None of the cons would dissuade me personally from purchasing the product had I known beforehand. I don't have experience with other Bluetooth earbuds, but I still believe this is a very high-quality product. If you're an avid music listener and value sound quality and imrproved quality of life, I can whole heartedly reccomend this product.

This is a review for the Jabra Elite 65t true wireless headset. Unlike most reviewers here, my primary interest is not in the sound quality while playing music, although that’s certainly important as well. Rather, I’m looking for a moderately priced Bluetooth headset for making and receiving calls, both in the office and while outside and in a moving vehicle. Important factors, to me, are my ability to hear the caller on the other end, the ability for the caller to clearly hear me, and the ability of the headset to block out background noise so that the person on the other end can hear me clearly. For the past year I’ve been using the Taotronics TT-BH026. It’s a decent headset, with nice sound quality on my end. However, in recent months I’m finding that I need to take more calls outside and in the car, and that’s where the Taotronics falls short. It does a good job of cancelling background noise, but also cancels my voice in the process. The end result is that the person on the other end of the call can’t hear me. So, after some research, I decided to try the Jabra Elite 65t. After a day of real-world use, here are my initial observations: The Jabra is a clear improvement over the Taotronics. On my commute this morning I made a series of calls to my voicemail, using a) the Taotronics, b) the Jabra, and c) just the phone (Google Pixel 2XL) by itself. When I reached the office I made a call to my voicemail using the headset on my desk phone. End result is that the Pixel, by itself, has the best call clarity. Of course it has $1000 worth of fancy noise canceling microphones and 1.5GHz of CPU power behind it, so I'd expect that. The Jabra, and desk phone headset, were nearly equal in a quiet environment. The Taotronics had volume issues unless I yell. And it sounds very muffled in all circumstances. When I speak fast, or not at full volume, the words blur together. The Jabra doesn’t have that limitation. In terms of noise cancelling, the old and new headsets are not hugely different. Background noise still comes through, but in different ways. The Taotronics kind of blurs the background noise, but slightly blurs the speech at the same time. On the Jabra the background noise comes through, but with less overall distortion of everything. I had no trouble hearing and understanding speech on the Jabra. Retesting in a quiet environment confirmed those results across the board. Other things that I like: 1) The sound pass-through functionality is nice. Some reviewers like it, and some hate it. I like it. 2) The companion app has a number of equalizer and white noise functions that I like quite a bit. 3) I had no trouble pairing. It was paired, and up and running, in seconds. 4) Sound quality for music is solid. The equalizer works very well. 5) People on calls are no longer asking me to repeat myself! 6) Love the fact that they turn on, and pair to your phone, when you take them out of their charging case. By the time you get them into your ears, they are ready to go. Of course I only figured this out after I repeatedly turned them off while trying to turn them on after putting them in my ears. More on documentation later… 7) Love the fact that they can be configured to pause sound/mute call when you take one out of your ear, and resume when you put it back in. 8) The earbuds are comfortable in the ear, after you experiment with the different size silicone tips. They come pre-installed with the small tips. I tried the largest tips, which fit better, but were a bit painful after a while. Now on to the medium tips, which are just right. 9) LOVE that I can have them connected to multiple devices simultaneously. As I type this, they are connected to both my phone and my computer. I can take a call on the phone, hang up, and place a Slack or Teams or WebEx call on the computer without having to touch or switch anything. It just happens. Love that. Things I’m not as excited about: 1) These little suckers are slippery! Trying to get hold of them to pull them out of their charging case, and trying to hold onto them to put them in your ears, is a challenge until you get used to it. 2) Some reviewers have noted that you have to push hard enough on the volume buttons that you push the earbud into your ear canal. I found the same to be true at first. But after a bit of familiarity, I found that you don’t have to push nearly as hard if you push in just the right spot at the right angle. It just takes some practice. 3) Ok, here’s the weird one. Getting the charging case open takes some practice. It’s nearly impossible to get open until you discover that you have to squeeze the sides of the main part of the case, and press upward on the lid at the same time. I guess it’s supposed to prevent the lid from popping open accidentally. But the documentation should tell me the secret. Oh, the documentation. Again, more on that later… 4) There are 4 Jabra apps in the Google Play store. Which one works with this headset? Hey, install them all, and try them all, until you find the one that lists the Jabra Elite 65t. Seriously? The documentation should give some guidance. Or give me a QR code on the package that I can scan. 5) About that documentation… that’s the biggest issue here. There is none. At least none that is usable. This is very much a “figure it out your own damned self” situation. I’m extremely tech savvy. I never read the documentation unless I need to. But come on, guys, at least give me a head start here. The booklet that comes with these things has 3 relatively meaningless pictures, and no accompanying text. After you find the appropriate application, and dig through it far enough, you find another 3-4 cryptic pictures, and again no text. I’m starting to figure this thing out, but it really shouldn’t be this hard. Overall, the Jabra Elite 65t is a solid product, but with lacking informational infrastructure around it. It’s a clear step up, has nice music sound quality, and does a decent job handling calls in both quiet and noisy environments. I’ll be sticking with it.

I had been looking for a set of wireless earbuds for some time primarily because I weight train 2-3 hours a day, almost 7 days a week and got tired of my wired earbuds getting caught on things. I also wanted wireless earbuds that did not have a wire that hangs around the neck. In the market today, there are average wireless "wired" earbuds (like the jaybird) and they all price around the same 70-90 value. I had previously owned jaybirds and they were great until I lost them. As mentioned, I was willing to pay a lot more for quality earbuds and ones that were completely wireless. Then I searched and heard about these Jabras. I was VERY skeptical at first because of the price. I mean I know for sure sound quality will be 200%, but will these last, will they fit in my ear without hurting, and will they be good for a frequent gym goer like myself. The answer to all those questions is yes. In detail, the sound quality is amazing and I get a great suction and noise cancellation when using these. When I first popped in the earbuds, they hurt a little due to the size in both my ears. I kind of ignored it, but it became noticeable throughout the workout so I started reading up on people's opinions on the fit. It was a hit or miss; however, I found out that you can slightly rotate the earbuds up and down (once it's in your ear) and BAM, pain was gone, and fit was perfect. I assume the battery life is amazing, but I always pop my buds in my charger which is connected in my car. As for sweat resistance, I think these are doing good so far. Unless my doing an ultra long/tough workout, the sweat usually doesn't hit my ears/the buds and I always use towels so my buds stay dry for the most part. The buds stay in my ear perfectly for most of the workout, it's when I start doing HIIT exercises or running on the treadmill is when they start sliding out. I honestly believe this is expected of ALL earphones. The nature pressure on your head and ears during movements is gonna pop them out on their own. Distance is good for about 50 feet from wherever your buds are connected too, but beyond that you will start hearing stuttering and disconnecting sounds or whatever. Just a few minor dislikes to note, but it is nothing game changer. Be careful where you put these because you can easily lose them. Also, I recommend taking them off when you are changing a shirt or sweater. I have had these pop out my of my ear doing so and had almost lost them. The other dislike is the case. Buds fit perfectly, looks sturdy, small to carry anywhere; however, I dislike how you open the case. It has a nice click/shut to it which is nice because it'll keep your buds secure and charging, but I have to press pretty hard on the case every time to open it I feel like I might crack the case at one point. Overall, if you what high quality earbuds, earbuds that completely wireless, and a frequent gym goer, I HIGHLY recommend these. They pack a price punch but you definitely get what you pay for and it's worth it. Satisfied customer here.

Please see bottom for 2 year + of use update! Dealing with earbuds is a finicky thing. So much revolves around how they fit your ears, size of ear canal, etc. I have oddly shaped ears, in a way that usually i end up with different size silicone for each one to get a solid fit. This set of buds is no different, and initially I was hesitant to purchase after reading reviews. But I went ahead anyways. Overall i give it 4 stars. good set, surprised me in some ways (fit was better then i expected), and disappointing in some ways (reception). Sorry for the long review, lots of little things about this set (plus a few tips on fit and use). So I provided a summary. you can read the rest below. PRO: Good fit, even with my finicky ears. Nice sound App has nice features No cord. CONS: Fit is all or nothing. very dependent on the earbud shape fitting into your earlobes. App is cumbersome and non intuitive. No Cord (seriously, it's too easy to drop one of these and have it bounce under the table. never happens with my corded buds. Having a cord comes in handy at times like these). Reception is bad, left side is finicky with connecting at times (connection is solid once it does connect). songs hiccup too often. : 1) Fit I was actually surprised at how well they fit my ears. I still had to go with 2 different sized silicone...medium for my left, large for my right. But the nature of these buds (they use the lower inner earlobe to stay in place), seems to afford them a nice fit with good external exclusion. the pass though feature allows some sound in, and is adjustable. I keep it around 20% and it seems to give me enough to hear if anythings happening around me, but still enjoy the full sound of the music at the same time. I would recommend for a solid fit is to initially put them in with the mic extension a bit high, and then twist it down as you pull a bit on your lower earlobe. picture pulling the lobe down and around the lower side of the earbud, and you'll probably get a nice fit. after doing it a few times it gets easier and I don't feel these are any more difficult then a traditional earbud at this point. Took a few times to get it down...i kept pushing on them directly into the ear and it was painful and didn't work. the pull/twist method was much more successful. The downside to this is the fit is all in the shape of the earbud. If it doesn't fit your ear, your not going to get good exclusion, and this affects sound quality. That being said, even with finicky ears, I still got a comfortable fit with no discomfort (usually wear time is 1-3 hours max). Overall, these are slower to set up then my wired ones. pulling them both out of the case, setting them in each ear, often having to reconnect the left side, adds some time to it. But once they're set up, they're great. I don't have any issues with them slipping out of my ears at all, and I tend to be a heavy sweater in my workouts. My Jaybirds will usually require regular adjustments halfway through the workout. With these, I almost forgot they were there. Not having a cord bop you in the mouth every time you lay back for a bench press is a solid win as well. 2) Sound Sound isn't bad. Decent lows and highs, and having the equalizer in the app helps, even if it is a bit basic, it's something. Fit impacts the sound quite a bit. the sound on my left side was bad until i swapped for the medium silicone, and now it works quite well. The downside to this is there are limited silicone sizes...if they don't' work for you, these earbuds suck. you can't just push them a little deeper or twist them a bit this way or that...they only have one fit, and they depend on the silicone outside of that for exclusion and sound quality. But again, even with finicky ears, the combination of the earbud and silicone worked fine. 3) Reception This is where these earbuds missed the mark for me. multiple drops during a song on average. they are usually no more then a fraction of a second...the song hiccups, then back on track. But it is definitely an immersion breaker, and too often it distracts me...I keep waiting for a call or a text ping thinking it was interrupted due to that, but then the song kicks back in and i either have to assume it was bad reception, or run over to the phone to make sure I'm not missing an important text. Very irritating. My Jaybird v2's have a drop about once every 2-3 songs. These drop 2-3x per song sometimes. Again, small, and as I get used to it I just sigh and get back into my workout. But it's bad enough to affect the rating IMO. Plus the left earbud seems to be very intermittent with it's connection. About 50-60% of the time when I pull them directly from the case and plug them in, the left earbud is silent. I have to power down the set (hold down button on right bud) with them in my ears, and power back up again for the left side to connect. The whole master/slave setup for the two earbuds is logical, but the left earbud needs to have better response to the right one on activation. 4) App Having an app is nice. equalizer, adjustable settings...but the app could use some love. the main page isn't intuitive...I feel like there should be a simply set of toggles for the most used features (much like the Bluetooth and airplane modes on my phone). But instead you have to go to a sub menu and select features there, which open a third window...allot to worry about when you just want to reduce the sound that gets through. A simple control panel for the most used features (exclusion settings, equalizer, etc). would make the app actually enjoyable to use. As it is, you fiddle with initial settings and then pretty much leave it alone. It's too much of a pain to tinker with while your in the middle of a workout. 5) Other Features the buttons on the side are very easy to use and get used to, and they're functions are probably the most intuitive I've had in an earbud setup. I had to refer to the manual a few times to get used to the full options, but I don't even think about it any more. Very nice. I have yet to really use the mikes, but on the few calls I've used them they seem to work well, no negative feedback from the people on the other side. Quick note on the case: as others have stated, it IS slippery, and it's round shapes make it easy to drop. I found the best way to hold it is to grab it on the sides where it's flat. Same with opening the lid: I don't try to squeeze a fingernail under the silly little divet they offer on front: I grab each side of the lid with my fingers, apply a bit of pressure, and pull. It pops open easy this way, with very little chance of slipping out of your hands. UPDATE: 02/27/2021, 2+ years of use. So far it's holding just fine. sound quality is still good, fit still good, still using the same set of silicone earbuds and no sound issues. range is still as limited as it was when I first purchased, but it hasn't gotten any worse. My biggest gripe, and the reason it lost another star, is the case. A year in and the clasp that holds the case lid shut no longer works. And since the contact points apply pressure to the buds when they're in the case, it won't stay closed on it's own now. So now I have to Wrap a rubber band around the case when I have the buds in there for them to charge. This may not be an issue for some, but for the price I paid for these earbuds, I at least expect a halfway decent case design. If this was a 20$ set of buds I wouldn't be frustrated, but they're not.

I want to love these headphones. I really do. I don't want to be another douchebag finance bruh with an airpod sticking out (literally) of their ears. It's a pain for me to walk to my midtown offices where you'll most likely see them powerwalk to their corner offices in their custom-made suits. I'm not about that life. So I decided to see what's out there. Samsung? eh.. I do use a S9+ but I've never been a fan of their audio products. Bragi? seems too startup-y and worried about them not being around for too long.. Bose or B&O? seems like they're behind the curve with the 4.x bluetooth tech when 5.0 is available.. plus wasn't too sure about their water/sweat resistance considering my active lifestyle.. Jaybirds? I've used their "wired" bluetooth headphones but wasn't really feeling the look. So the only option left were the elite 65t and the active version and I chose the elite 65t simply because of the low-key colorway. Setup Pretty easy. I connected it to my Galaxy S9+ and 2 laptops and it was a breeze. Just a simple long-hold of the right side bud button and find it available on the various devices. Fit The small bud size that is equipped as the default wasn't creating a tight fit in my ears so at first, it sounded very air-y. after trying on the other earpiece options, I found that the largest one fit my ears the best and creates the ideal fit & outside-noise blockage. Material quality It's plastic. Everything's plastic. And I have no issues with that. One potential issue I see is with thin piece of plastic that holds shut the case. That thing was not designed to last so optimistically (opening & closing the case around 10 times a day), it'll last 2 years at most. I've learned to be very gentle in my approach. Audio Quality Very good. Companion app helps a bit with equalizing the low, mid, high (also you should probably download it to get the latest software updates). I generally listen to hip-hop, rock, classical and personally I think it covers the various genres very well. You really need to get a good fit in order to fully appreciate the audio drivers. Day-to-day usage Ok so here's where the story goes downhill and never recovers. Is it just me or is Bluetooth "5.0" just a blanket marketing term? In my old job, I've used Bluetooth 5.0 headsets (connected to PC) and walked around my office without dropping any audio (I actually went outside to the 1st floor just below my desk on the 5th floor and it still worked. amazeballs). I was expecting the same from these headsets. Instead the audio constantly skips when my phone is in my pocket. Ok.. maybe my pants are lined with some sweat-wicking materials that's interfering with the signals possibly? So i try on my suit pants (I don't wear full suits thankfully) to check and yup, still skip city. OK so I guess I'll just have to adjust my life to fit the needs of the phone and start holding it while walking (I do walk alot living in the city).. But nope. Still cuts in and out. It's a shame really. Another thing that irks me is that whenever I take out my headset there's a very subtle static-y noise. It gives me a nice wake-up around 2pm when food coma kicks in tho. Another thing that annoys me is that sometimes when I take the earbuds out and I don't take out the left buds quickly enough, the right earbud will connect by itself thinking that I'm going 1-bud for a phone call so the left bud won't work until I take out the right bud, put it back into the case, and take em back out quickly or at the same time. Annoying. One thing I do love is the hear-through feature (enabled by double-pressing the right earbud button). I bike around the city often and being able to hear the cars, other bikes, and pedestrians is really helpful and got me out of possible accidents. However I'm never certain about the direction from which the sound is coming from so I essentially go into a Meerkat-like state and check all my periphery to see what's going on. I do think the soundstage (available in more higher-end audio equipment where various audio sources can be "placed" in different "spaces" to give a spacial effect) is a lacking feature and/or is too subtle to even be called a soundstage. A big miss in my opinion. Battery life It's ok. I get a good 5 hours per charge and the case can give another 2 charges so at least the battery life is as advertised. I haven't figured out the battery life indicator on the case yet but wish it was a meter rather than a blinking light but i'll learn to live with it. Mic Quality It's great. It has more mics than you'll ever care but it's honestly the one redeeming factor of the day-to-day experience. I'm constantly on a skype call through my phone or laptop and after testing it with skype's mic test & hear-back feature, I can say that the quality is top notch. I've used it with Google Assistant while hitting around 20mph on 8th ave in NYC and even with the wind-noise, cabs, etc. it worked flawlessly. One annoying thing is that when it's connected to 2 devices and I'm switching from listening to spotify on my phone to getting on a call on skype on my laptop, it doesn't always switch consistently. Sometimes I have to disconnect it from my phone for it to be "dedicated" to the laptop but I've seen that happen on other bluetooth headsets so can't knock jabra too hard for that. Conclusion Overall, if you're sitting at your cubicle and want to isolate yourself from the world (but maybe listen in on the office gossips using the hear-through feature), it's great. If you're on the move constantly and can't afford to hold your phone close to your ears, it's a hit or miss.

I was not a fan of truly wireless earbuds because of the low hour listening time. I had purchased a product from Apple and returned it so I ended up getting the Apple Airpods and the experience actually changed my mind about truly wireless buds. I don't like the way the Airpods fit but like the freedom the truly wireless give. I looked around for something that would fit better and decided on the Jabra Elite 65t and I have to say I'm very happy I did. I own a number of what could be considered high end over the ear headphones as well as too many earbuds and I like to rotate between 4 pair. I mention this to give some perspective. I listen to a wide variety of music and just went for a 7 mile run on Monday Nov. 5 2018 using the 65t and I'm really impressed. I first thought the 65t's would not be comfortable but they really are to me. When I ran on Monday I used some thin headband ear warmers because it's getting cool here in Connecticut. Anyway the 65t's never felt lose or like they would fall out. I used them today when I went out to take care of business. When I run I listen to music from my Apple Watch Series 4 and the 65t's stayed connected and didn't miss a beat, even with the Airpods I had a couple of drop outs so it really appears the bluetooth is rock solid. I have not had any issues with the left and right buds not connecting when I first put them in, right then left of left then right. Also for me the music sounds pretty dog gone good too. I mentioned my over ear headphones (I list them in some other reviews) as a point of reference and to me these are really musical, i.e. let all the stuff I listen to come through, I don't miss a thing, not one thing. I am so happy I got these the freedom of truly wireless is awesome. The battery is not an issue either. Even when I happen to listen at home using these while cleaning the house or doing other chores I can't see the battery being an issue. Like this morning I had business to take care of and walked around for an hour or so and when I checked the battery level they were up around 90%. I'm happy so far and hope these hold up. Really glad I chose Jabra. It's going to be hard to go back to regular earbuds with the wire connection, I do bring a pair when I go on my runs or use the 65t's while out and about. I always bring an extra pair no matter what I'm using. Anyway my experience with the 65t's are really good. Update 11/8/2018: Just a follow up. I really like these buds but kind of disappointed with Amazon customer service. I purchased these on 11/1/18 and now 11/8/18 they are $50 cheaper. I pay my way as Prime member and even if I wasn’t I think that if I purchased these from the Amazon store and then the next day they are discounted then why not give some consideration to people that paid full price within a week or so. Come on, you lose more money having me send them back for a refund then you have spend time and money having to get them ready to resell at and even lower price. I guess that’s somebody else is a billionaire and I’m complaining about $50. 12/12/18 Update: Sorry about the rant above. After further use of these and trying the Elite Sports as well as the AirPods, the regular Elite 65t are by far the best as far as I'm concerned. Even making and receiving calls on the Elite 65t's are perfect. I've been looking at other truly wireless pods and actually ordered a couple then canceled the order after thinking about how well these perform, so I went ahead and ordered another pair of Elite 65t's. One for working out and the other for casual use.

I've been using this product for over 6 months now while working the shipping department at a Distribution Center. Lifting boxes for 12 hours straight. Connection to my cell phone is quick and easy right out of the box. As soon as you pull the right bus out of the case thereafter, it will connect automatically. Sound quality is excellent. Easily on par with my V-moda M100 headphones, though not as nice as my Sennheiser 85s. There is a bit of audio delay, unfortunately, so they can't be used with apps like Smule. They fit nicely, and I haven't had them fall out except for when I tried to wear them under my Shoei motorcycle helmet. Even then, they were comfortable, and only popped out because my helmet is very snug, so it gripped the buds when taking it off. Though, to be honest, it took some time to get accustomed to the things. The same design that keeps them locked in place can cause a bit of pain until either they get broken in or your ears do. The battery life is fantastic! As I said, I wear at least the right earbud at work, typically for at least 4 hours at a time, and they charge enough during my 20 minute break window to keep going for another 4 hours. It's absolutely brilliant. The only time they've ever died on me was when I forgot I was wearing them and didn't put them in the charging case. Even then, it was a quick 30 minutes in my pocket, then back to death metal. The hear-through technology is great when I'm walking around Walmart or something, and at times is even better than natural acoustics. However, if you work near machinery like I do, you'll want to turn it off unless you can dance to the sound of screeching and distortion. But, it's really easy to turn off in the app. Voice communication is crystal clear coming through the JE65's as well. I can't comment on what the other party can hear, but I haven't had any issues at all except people sometimes ask if I'm okay because I look like I'm talking to myself (I have shoulder length hair, so these things are invisible to onlookers when I wear them). Alright, so here's my biggest selling point. That's right, not the audio, not the battery, not the secure fit, but rather the unbelievable durability. I've used them for 6 months in a warehouse. I once dropped the case (with the left earbud inside) and the right earbud (which I had popped out to concentrate for a moment) from my pocket onto a concrete floor from 15ft scaffolding. The right earbud looks good as new. The case has some scuff-marks but opens, closed, and charges just like it's supposed to. I didn't find the right earbud until I had clocked out and used my phone's disconnection radius to triangulate the signal. Any audio device that can survive the kind of abuse my earbuds have taken deserves a 5-star rating. A word to the wise, place your JE65s in the top of the case, aligned with the mold, then close the bottom. Perfect charging connection every time. So, why should you buy the Jabra Elite 65s? - Long lasting - Tough and durable - Very loud when appropriate - Can be painful at first, but never falls out Coincidentally, the same list my wife gave me after our honeymoon.

1 -- Noise cancellation The passive noise cancelling is quite effective. It is nice to have some peace of quiet during my commute to work via train. There is an outdoor mode that forwards outside noises through the four microphones. It works quite well, although the quality is kinda coarse. It does get the necessary sounds through. 2 -- Microphone quality The call quality is standard. The caller says they can hear me clearly. 3 -- Sound quality I'm not an expert on sound quality, but the treble and bass sound balanced. Maybe some would call it "flat". But Jabra's app provides an equalizer to customize these frequencies. Volume- can be loud as you want. A thing to note is the volume set by your phone and earbuds are separate. It does not use the sound level decided by the driver of your operating system. This can be good or annoying depending on the user. I find it useful because I can keep the phone volume the same and adjust the volume for the earbuds. 4 -- Comfort In regards to comfort, there is no breathing room in the ear canal due the design for passive noise cancellation. So after an hour, it gets kinda itchy inside the ear (probably due to sweating). On the plus-side, this air-tight seal makes it very difficult to fall out. The rubber ear domes do not cause discomfort over time. They fit quite nicely in my ears. The comfort may strongly depend on the shape of your ears, but the three different sized domes included in the box will probably cover most ear shapes and sizes. Weight is light enough so that there's no discomfort when moving the head. Pressing the buttons on either side was weird at first as you were pushing the buds further into your ear canals. But, after a few weeks of use, I got used that feeling. It just feels normal pressing them now. The master-slave design is kind of annoying since there are times I would like my other ear open to neighboring colleagues. The master is the right earbud, while the left is the slave. Therefore, when using only a single earbud, only the right-sided earbud works. 5 -- Rechargable case and earbud battery No magnets to secure the earbuds. They just fall out if you turn it upside-down while it is open. But the design of the lid makes it so probably won't accidentally open. You must lightly pinch the sides to get it to open with ease. In terms of charge, it holds for a long time. The buds last up to 6 hours of use for me. Then the case provides 2 to 3 additional charges.

I just wanted a decent wireless earpiece. And this was on sale, so it was a steal. Don't listen to the critics about the soundstage or audio quality. It sounds good to me. If you're not an audiophile, you have nothing to worry about. I like that it has hearthrough function and autopause function when you put down your earpiece. My only complain is that it's very easy to drop this earpiece because of the weird shape compared to others that I had, and the Bluetooth connection can be intermittent sometimes.

This product DID NOT FIT my ears at all. I tried all 3 of the inner earbud size options, but all of them would fall out, either just of their own accord, or at the first movement of my head. My husband also has these earbuds, and they work fine for him, but he has huge ear holes. DO NOT BUY THESE unless you have very large ear holes.

Love it! Nice colour!

I. LOVE. THESE. I wear them all day at work and one charge in the cases usually lasts me about 7-8 hours. I put them in their charging case for 30 minutes on my way to the gym and I can wear them again my entire workout. The Quality is great, They completely block out the noise around me and they're comfortable. I will say if you workout a lot the sport ones might be the better option and these sometimes start to slip out during sweaty workouts but that is literally the only minor fault, I usually take them out wipe them off and put them back in and they're good to go. They have a good Distance range too so you can don't need to be glued to the source of the sound.
