I thought the Jabra Elite 65t’s were the best featured bluetooth earbuds, bar none. Special mention must go to the multi connect bluetooth on Jabra. Meaning you can be connected to 2 devices (not paired, ACTUALLY CONNECTED) at the same time. I’m often out with my laptop and phone. I can be listening/watching/tele-conferencing on my laptop and if the phone rings the laptop is automatically paused and the phone goes live. As soon as I finish the call the pause is released and I carry on with my laptop. This is a must have for me, as otherwise I miss calls and notifications. Only downside with the 65t was the large size making it uncomfortable for long periods in my ears. The fab new 75t solved that problem and added a slimmer USB C case and longer battery life. I am pleased as.

Note: For whatever it is worth, I am using an iPhone which has Bluetooth v4.2 (w/LE & A2DP).I have not yet used the 75t’s in the gym so cannot comment on how they do in that context. However, regarding the other review which describes how the connection dropped often during their workout, I can only report that I have noticed connection dropping during my normal day-to-day use but this has not been very often.Pros:- Sound is really good and the capability of adjusting the EQ from the Jabra Sound+ app is great too.- The ‘PassThrough’ feature is great. This is where you press the left ear button once while not in call (you can have other audio playback on) which turns the mics on to pass ambient noise through the ear (so you don’t have to take them out to hear your surroundings e.g. there are many use-cases for this feature).Cons:- These are not active noise-cancelling earphones. You have to rely on a good seal around the earholes from the silicon part. Of course the ambient noise will be reduced, but not completely. However, the sound quality and the reduction of ambient noise due to the seal is good enough which makes up for no active noise-cancellation capability. So this is either a pro/con depending on your view. Also – since these do not do active noise-cancelling, the battery life will be improved compared to other active noise-cancelling products (since no battery is being used for that purpose).The biggest issue I have is the firmware is buggy (1.25 here which is the latest as of December 2019). The most obvious bugs I have noticed are:- Sometimes if I start a call without the earphones connected, e.g. I receive a call from a friend, and then take the buds out of their case to use them instead of the phone speaker, and put them into my ear, the right one works, but the left one doesn’t connect so my call is mono via the right (not stereo via both). So I try to press the left to manually power on (which I shouldn’t need to because they are configured to auto power on/off when you put them in/take them out of the case!), it does not. However, if I am using the earphones before a call, then place a call, both buds will work as expected.- Sometimes when you open the case (having stored the earbuds in there obviously) the LED’s on the buds don’t flash green like they’re supposed to. They’ll do something which I can only describe as “I cannot make up my mind which LEDs to switch on”. There’s a faint and brief light blue which is not described in the user manual and is not the same as the blue pairing LED! (it is not any of the amber, red, or green indicator LEDs as the manual describes). But other times you’ll open the case and get the green LEDs flashing as you’d expect. (Note: not due to lacking enough charge. The interval between closing the lid and reopening is too short for it to be due to lacking battery to flash the LED properly. Also when paired, the battery status is high.)- The left earbud seems to be a “slave” to the right. Could be wrong about this, but there is something different about the right to the left bud in that if you want to use only one earbud you cannot use the left earbud it has to be the right one. E.g. music playback by one earbud can only be done with the right. The biggest difference I have noticed is power management. The left earbud always has a “powered on” sound emitting from the driver/speaker. E.g. when you press stop on a music track from the phone the right earbud immediately powers off the driver/speaker (you can hear the driver turn off) but the left one remains powered. This is incredibly annoying in a quiet enough area to notice it not least because it means the left is still consuming battery for no reason, but also because there is a NOISE from the left bud when there should not be! It isn’t a hiss. It’s the noise of a speaker which has power but no audio signal. A flat, “ON” noise. So incredibly irritating. The right one doesn’t do this so why Jabra cannot have their firmware developers do the same with the programming for the left I’ve no idea since they clearly caught this for the right bud.Anyway, this is enough for me to send these back which is a shame because the sound quality is terrific.

I am going to break the review down into sections as I got to using the product.Packaging / Out of box experienceAs with any Jabra product the out of box experience has been developed significantly in recent years. I find the unboxing like opening a new present. Pulling the drawer in the product to reveal the earbuds /the charging case and the quick start guide.My only challenge here was to actually pull out the earbuds without thinking that I was going to damage them – they seemed quite tightly packed in to the formed plastic tray they are housed in. The case comes with precharged battery and the earbuds are charged as well. All in all it was as impressive a first view of the product noting the significantly smaller form factor to the 65t that this product is replacing.It comes with all the necessary charging cables and replacement silicon ear tips – I have never needed to replace these so cant comment on the simplicity of carrying this out.Product feedbackThe charging caseSignificantly smaller than the previous version (almost akin to AirPods charge case) and in my eyes a much better solution that can stand by itself, open and close simply using a magnet as opposed to physical catch and charges using USB-C which is a good upgrade.Earbuds designSignificantly smaller form factor than previous models and significantly more comfortable to ear for me.Easier to put on and quicker to pair when taking out of the box.Earbuds performanceCan only use right ear by itself (at the moment but I believe a software upgrade is coming to remedy this). I am no audiophile but there is a better level of punchier bass – much more than I expected. Overall a very balanced audio performance.Very easy to wear for longer periods of time. You can also use under hats in the cold and are still able to hear / be heard.OverallI LOVE these earbuds and would wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone looking to invest in a new set of buds for music /handsfree calling

Before I dive into my review, before I try Jabra Elite 75t, I tried: b&w pi4, Apple AirPods Pro, I AM+ Buttons, and few others. Jabra Elite 75t is winning so far.Sound quality: on par with AirPods pro if not better; and with the Sound+ app you have even better control on your sound preferenceNoise Isolating: while it is not active noise cancelling, but it seals well and comfortably that’s almost as good as the AirPods Pro ANC. After I tried Apple AirPods Pro I was convinced that it is impossible to achieve such isolation without ANC and without having to uncomfortably seal the earbuds into your ears. But Jabra Elite 75t changed my mindFitting and security: I workout, jog, walk, and I have 0 worry that the earbuds would fall; it fits securely in my ears and I forget about themMic performance in phone calls: it is not great when compared to wired earbuds; but it is way better (at least for me) when I compare them to Apple AirPods Pro! The other end of the call is always able to make out what I am saying with Jabra; which wasn’t always the case with Apple AirPods ProBattery Life: is just great! I plug the charger into my case almost once a week or so (given that I only use the earbuds around 4 hours maximum a day)Overall material quality: could be better; I noticed the case inside can get sweat prints when I place the earbuds back in the case after working out; moreover, it would be nice to have a wireless charging case for such amazing product

Have read reviews on other wireless earbuds about sound drop outs, so I’ve have been waiting anxiously for the latest 75T to become available – supposedly next generation, so hopefully no dropoutsWhat a MASSIVE disappointment.Upgraded them to the latest firmware, made sure they were fully charged, popped them in my ears and linked to my phone. First impression, comfortable fit and decent sound quality. But then…I started up my Treadmill for a run, and the moment the treadmill motor started up, the left earbud constantly dropped it connection giving a sort of ‘distortion’ type effect. Stopped the treadmill and it was fine again.(Right earbud was fine)£170 for this? What a waste of money. If you’re intending to use with Gym Equipment, probably best to avoid.Update:Jabra support were very honest with their reply, so no complaints there.According to them, while it has a Bluetooth link from the right earbud to the phone, the connection between the 2 earbuds is via a “weak magnetic field” (i’m assuming all wireless headphones are the same?) – and as such can be interfered with by some kinds of machinery when nearby. Something to bear in mind before you buy.I’ve now returned them for refund.

Jabra have a name more in making quality corporate headsets than high end music earphones. Having used various headsets from jabra for work, and previously having owned Jabra bluetooth handsfree kits, I thought these were an exciting prospect.My view has been that if you want good bass and sound quality you need large over ear headphones – and Ive never really liked the compromise of the size.So in my eyes, the holy grail of earphones, is completely cordless, tiny, extremely light, with good bass and great sound clarity. Being able to connect to both my phone and my laptop simultaneously would be a bonus, since I switch between listening to music on my phone and watching programs on my laptop.These are completely cordless, tiny, extremely light, so its all down to what it delivers in sound quality.The first thing I noticed is that these deliver a lot of bass! In fact I was extremely impressed.In terms of sound clarity it was very good too, though there was a slight hint of tinny-ness in the treble when played at high volume.I tried these compared to, my cheap but trusty £30 nobrand wireless in ear earphones, a pair of Shure SE215, a pair of beats over ear headphones and a quick compare vs air pod prosCompared to my no-brand earphones. These are vastly superior played back to back. In fact definitely will replace these as day to day earphone. Though of course these do cost over 5 times the price, so not a fair comparison.Compared to Shure SE215. These have stronger bass, and clarity of the sound is very good, but Id say the SE215 just about have the edge. However, these are completely cordless and more portable, so for day to day, I can see the practicality giving it the slight edge since these are much easier to put in than the faff of getting the shures into you ear properly. It’ll dependon just how fussy you are about the extra sound quality Vs the practicality benefitsCompared to the Beats, well the Beats have a much warmer sound to them and Id say the better sound, however these cost substantially more and suffer from being large over ear headphones so less portable.A quick comparison vs air pod pros showed that they were similar in quality for bass and but I found slightly better clarity of sound.Battery life, it claims 7.5 hours between charges. Ive managed 4 hours without problem which is more than enough for my usage.Other nice features:-When you take out the earphones from one ear, the music playing will pause.There is a HearThrough mode which you can activate in the app which can remove the sound isolation and allow sound to come though. Useful if youre walking and need to hear your surroundings.You can connect this to two devices at once! This is in my case is extremely useful. Having paired up to laptop after the phone and hearing two devices connected was a welcome sign, and sure enough playing music on either would switch the sound over – perfect!ProsVery strong bass for in ear earphonesGood sound quality across the rangeEasy to wear and comfortable with good sound isolationExtremely portableCan connect to two devices at onceGood battery lifeCase is USB-C chargingAlexa supportConsSound can still be ever so slightly tinny at high volumesStill not as good as similarly priced over ear headphones.HearThrough mode can amplify background noise which sounds unnaturalExpensive (£170 at time of review)In summary: These are excellent cordless earphones, very small, light, even the charging case is small. The sound quality is great considering their size, sounding like something much bigger. It can connect to multiple devices.In my opinion, these are pretty much perfect earphones for myself as a regular commuter.Update 9 Feb 2020: I have used these almost daily now as my regular earphones. The hear-through mode has worked well to allow for listening to travel announcements whilst on a train at the touch of a button. The sound quality is definitely good enough, though not as good as the Shures, however the extra convenience of multiple device support, no wires and easy putting on/off more than makes up for that.
