Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the headphones. Some mention that the sound is the best of the bluetooth noise canceling earbuds they have tried, it drops big bass, and most outside sounds are muffled. However, others say that the left earphone became noticeably quieter than the right, the background noise was way more present, and the audio would drop out if too much of their body was touching the buds.

Customers have mixed opinions about the quality of the headphones. Some mention that the quality is wonderful when it works, the build quality seems high, and the sound quality is fine. However, others say that the product doesn't seem to have great quality control for long-term reliability, the connection is horrible, and it's not quite studio grade.

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the headphones. Some mention that it has good battery life, while others say that it's weak and has a very short life-span. The storage case has recharging capabilities, but some customers report issues with charging.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the headphones. Some mention that it works very well, the charging case works well to recharge the earbuds, and the noise cancelling works well. However, others say that both buds got quiet then stopped working, the ANC didn't really work for them, and that the ebud works for a little while but as soon as they go outside it stops playing every time.
"...Cons:1. ANC here is a minus. It doesn't really work and I often accidentally turn it on also because of the UI...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the comfort of the headphones. Some mention that they fit great, superbly comfortable, and sound really good. However, others say that they start to slightly hurt the lower inner part of their ear after about 1 hour of use.

Customers are dissatisfied with the connectivity of the headphones. They mention that the pass through works, but they get intermittent connectivity issues. The left earbud loses connection or doesn't connect at all, and they have to plug in both ear buds to reset them. The connection is spotty and annoying, and there are connectivity glitches when connected to multiple devices. The app doesn''t always connect to the earphones even when they are.

These have become my default earbuds for listening to music or audio books. The sound quality is the best of the bluetooth noise canceling earbuds I have tried: Sony, Bose, Beats, Airpod pros, and a couple of offbeat brands.
Deep bass, crisp treble, perfectly clear midrange. They are easy to use, have seamless connectivity, come with a decent smartphone interface, and provide great fit and comfort.
Noise cancelation works well, albeit not perfectly. Nothing fully cancels exterior sound; it is always a matter of degree. That said, the degree of noise cancelling on these earbuds is outstanding. They rival the Bose headsets, but without the bulk. There is a greenbelt park near my house that abuts a highway. Without earbuds/headphones, you can hear the highway pretty prominently. With these earbuds and the ANC activated, it's as if I am in an isolated forest far from the highway.
"Hear-through" mode works well, too, if you want to be able to hear your surroundings for safety.
They have fallen out of my ears a few times, but generally stay seated in the "ear pocket" fairly well. IMHO, Jabra has always designs products that fit my ear canal pretty well. Your weirdly-shaped ears might produce different results. ;-)
Battery life has never been an issue. I have gone on long hikes, bike rides, and plane rides with them, and they have never run out of juice. The charging case does, indeed, work well to recharge the earbuds when not in use so they are always charged and ready to go when I need them. Using the case habitually also helps prevent me from misplacing the earbuds, which was always my biggest fear when considering wireless bluetooth earbuds.
IMHO, the airpod pros do not get loud enough to be worth the premium price. I understand the purpose of volume limits, avoiding liability and lawsuits, and the like. But the volume cap on the airpod pros is just too soft. I want to be the one who determines if it is too loud, not the manufacturer. The noise cancelation on the airpod pros was good, but not as good as the Jabras.
The one con is that using the earbuds as a wireless headset for phone calls or zoom conferences is not the best, mostly because they do not have a boom-mic. It is sometimes difficult for the other party to hear me, especially if I am driving (road noise). They do work fine as a bluetooth headset in a quiet room, though. But they are designed for listening, not as a wireless headset. I have a separate bluetooth earbud specifically designed for phone calls. These earbuds can double as a headset if a call comes in; but they are not designed to be a wireless headset for phone calls.
If you need earbuds that double as phone headsets (and you don't mind the volume limit on the airpods), then the airpod pros might be your best option. But these are the best of the mainstream premium audio earbuds on the market.
UPDATE: Over a year later, and I still love these earbuds. I keep them in their case, so they always recharge easily, and the case does help prevent me from misplacing them (one of my big concerns about wireless earbuds ever since I first read about AirPods). I use them on flights, dog walks, hikes, bike rides, coffee shops, kid's basketball practices, and elsewhere. They have never run out of charge before I stopped listening to music. Sound quality remains top notch.
Once I downloaded the Sound+ app and played around with EQ settings, the buds opened up so much more. By slightly dropping the bass, moderately increasing mids, and slightly increasing treble, the clarity improved immensely. The bass no longer drowned out the vocals but was still very present. I even found that I was able to get more volume out of them -- in other words, proper EQ settings made the 75t sound just how I wanted them to.
I bought these primarily to walk in the city and go to the gym, and the fit is admirable for both purposes. No amount of vigorous movement should shake these from your ears - the medium silicone tips were best for me, but there are two other sizes that should cater to most people. The earbuds feel light and cool - the only complaint I would have is they start to slightly hurt the lower inner part of my ear after about 1 hour of use. However, removing them for a few seconds usually relieves the discomfort for at least another hour. The sweat/water resistance is another plus for physical activity/walking in the rain.
Features wise, I was very impressed here. The sound quality obviously cannot compare to an open back over ear of a similar price (see HD58x), so it is understood that the premium $ is primarily for features and wireless convenience. The Bluetooth connection is quite good as the buds connect quickly and stay connected for the most part. Occasionally if there is interference from other BT devices or if my phone is covered by something the buds will break out and give static, but it doesn't happen often enough to be a major issue.
As mentioned before, the ability to EQ is a great feature as you can customize your sound profile however you prefer it. Having ANC/HearThrough/Off as options by clicking the left bud is great, and all 3 modes perform quite well. It is extremely helpful to be on public transit and be able to drown out the screech of brakes & loud conversation in one moment and then hear the announcer & your friends in the next moment. The buttons in general are quite good -- responsive and they don't hurt my ears when pressed. Playing, pausing, taking calls, adjusting ambient noise level are all very easy from here.
In terms of battery life I can get 3-5 days without charging the case, and the buds have never died on me or even gotten down to low battery. To be fair, I never use them for more than 2 hours at a time so I'm not taking up too much juice.
I also bought the Melomania 1+ to provide a point of comparison, and while the out-of-the-box sound was certainly better, the poor fit, lack of features, and worse charging case caused me to favor the 75t. Once the 75t was EQ'd properly, it rivalled Melomania's sound well enough that it was not worth it to hold onto the 1+.
Overall, I highly recommend this earbud even if it may not be the absolute best sound on the market. The sound is solid enough after EQing to enjoy the earbud consistently, and the great fit and wealth of features more than make up for anything lacking in the sonic department. I have not tried a better true wireless earbud at this price point in recent memory, so don't hesitate to pick these up (especially if they're on sale).
Pros:
* Matte finish is attractive and feels better to me than other buds which tend to be glossy and shiny.
* A good, middle of the road size - not too big or small
* Music sounds decent, Call quality is good, though its noise-cancellation can't really do much to mitigate noise from wind
* Decent battery life
Cons
* Not a great value for the price. I have cheaper ear buds that sound better for music, and cheaper buds that seem just as good for calls
* Out of all of my bluetooth earbuds, this one gives me the most bluetooth connectivity issues. Occasionally i have to restart my phone to get it to connect.
* After about 22 months of ownership, one of the earbuds developed an issue where the volume would drop to really low levels for no apparent reason. I stopped using it after that point ... but it did last me almost 2 years.
Overall, it's a decent earbud. I don't regret purchasing it, but I will not buy it again.
Top reviews from other countries
These are the best out of about 5 different earbuds I’ve tried. I find the physical button control more reliable than touch especially when running.
When running in the winter physical buttons are the only option when pressing with gloves through a toque.
Sound quality is excellent. There are details in music these picked up that others didn’t. I was surprised by how good the base response is. There’s a fully customizable EQ.
The JABRA app has a hearing test that tunes the EQ to your test result. This EQ setting worked the best for me.
Hearthrough mode is a must-have option for me while running. Turn it on for hearing traffic etc, turn it off when not needed. Also useful for brief verbal exchanges with someone- you don’t have to take an earbud out to listen to someone, hearthrough will amplify their voice. This feature works even with music paused. If you do need to pull out a bud for a conversation, pulling the right one out pauses the music automatically, then resumes music when you put it back in.
ANC does cut down ambient noise in addition to the good seal the ear gels make, but not a huge difference. That said I’ve had no issues with ambient noise interfering with becoming immersed in a favorite tune. These wouldn’t be my first choice for blocking out engine noise on a flight though.
I did get a better fit and seal with aftermarket SpinFit (model CP360) ear gels. The right fit for your unique ears makes a huge difference in audio quality for earbuds. Well worth it to try a few brands/ sizes to get the most out of whatever buds you get.
Sound quality on calls wasn’t very good with stock settings for me, but call sound is customizable through the JABRA app. I get excellent call quality after dialing in the settings.
I see in some reviews that some are having issues with signal dropout; I haven’t had this issue at all with the elite active 75T but did have some intermittent dropout with the non “active” variant. Maybe a bug in early release versions. Perhaps my firmware version is improved. There are periodic firmware updates through the JABRA app keeping them up to date.
Overall I’m very happy with these. Superb sound, customizable features, waterproof/ dust proof. I’ve ran through a winter (down to -28C) and summer (up to + 30C) with no issues at all.
Connecting to two devices simultaneously is a feature I don’t use on these but I like that it‘s there if I need it.
I’ve never had these in for more than 3 hours so never got close to the battery limit of 7 hrs in the buds.
The only thing I’d add is that all the top-end earbuds are getting so good now for sound quality that I think it will be other features like customizable hear-through, ANC, EQ, connect to multiple sources etc that will sway purchase decisions.
They fit and hold well in the ear. My ears are small, it took a couple days to get perfectly used to them but now I can keep them on for hours on end and still be comfortable.
The pairing with my computer and my phone is working smoothly. I am still trying to figure out if I can have the microphone disabled by default when I am listening to media content, so that I don't hear the captation layered over the music or video I am listening to.
