“Excellent sound quality. The app could use some better features, such as better tracking for weight lifting or more exercises in general. They rarely lose track of my heartbeat, and are very secure in my ears. They really don't need adjustment at all once they're in proper. It did take me a few days to find the right fit but, once I did, they're impressively stable. I can generally wear them for ~ 2 hours before they become uncomfortable, which is good IMO. I've never had a pair of earbuds that were comfortable much longer than that. The mic picks up well, and I frequently use them for making calls, although I do get some occasional digital distortion during calls. I'm unsure if this is the headphones or my iPhone. It's not severe enough for me to bother troubleshooting beyond attempting to repair them (which didn't help). Occasionally, when putting them in the case, they will fail to charge. There are indicator lights on the case, so this isn't really a problem if you're paying attention, but it can be problematic if you're not. I'd give them 5 stars, but the small annoyances combined with the hefty price tag leaves me feeling this product is just short of perfect.”

“I've been very pleased with all of the Jabra products that I've purchased in the past. Unfortunately, these ear buds are the exception. In spite of great comfort, and good sound quality, I can only give them a 2 star rating. The buttons on both the left and right ear buds are just TOO SMALL and difficult to manipulate. I might further offer to Jabra, that trying to remember all of the features that the buttons accomplish are a bit difficult during a strenuous exercise. Wait! What? The left +/- button does WHAT AGAIN?? I will be returning these for a full refund.”

“I have purchased so many "wireless" earbuds in the past. These, by far, are the BEST I've ever owned! I was concerned about the fit at first, fully in-ear buds usually wind up hurting my ears. These came with a great range of speaker cover sizes and I was able to find the perfect fit! The design is genius! Just insert, turn and go! I can do any activity and they stay put without having to constantly readjust and no cord to get caught on anything! The sound quality is phenomenal, connecting to my phone was simple, phone calls and music come through with such clarity! The functions on each bud are so convenient and well thought out! The self charging case, is just the icing on the cake! I'm tempted to buy another set just to have on hand, because I'll never use any other! I don't often write lengthy reviews, but this product definitely deserves the praise! Well done Jabra!!!”

“Having tried some cheaper true wireless buds, my expectations were low. These buds are a sturdy fit, with incredibly clear sound (calls play in both ears when both are in!), and confirmed call clarity on the receiving end, I am thrilled with this product. Using the Jabra system app, the buds turn on and pair immediately after removal from the case. This was a major pain with the other systems I tried- pressing buttons and trying to sync when there is an incoming call meant I just didn't use the ear buds. The Jabra makes that seamless.

-Running feedback: the earbuds are heavier than some others but the ear stabilizers keep the buds firm in my ears like I had hoped. No amount of jumping, sprinting, stretching or exercise caused them to shift even slightly. The noise isolation is excellent.

My one complaint is the way the earbuds sit in the case. It is not a magnetic lock so the buds just sit in their housing. I have not dropped them yet but anticipate opening the case upside-down at least once in the near future (case is almost identical top and bottom, unless attention is paid to the Jabra engraving".

Suggestion to Jabra software developers: allow for syncing workout and fitness information with common training tools. No need to reinvent the wheel- MyFitnessPal, TrainingPeaks, Garmin Connect, Samsung Health, Strava, etc. That is direly missing from the functionality as an exercise tracker.”

“I'm happy with my earbuds! The material quality is very good, they offer you many possibilities to fit in according to the size of your ear. The sound quality is quite good considering that this is an earbud (it is not fair to compare with the sound quality of an over-ear headphone). The battery life is pretty good, I've been using all day and only have to recharge at night. The precision during exercise is good, sometimes an interference might happen, but not very often, which is normal for bluetooth devices. Before choosing this model, I compared it to the active 65t and found that this would work better for me due to the hear monitor sensor, then I can have some information regarding how my body is responding to the exercises, which is really useful to achieve results quickly.”

“I've had these for several months now. The quality is excellent. Great sound when playing music and great microphone when talking on the phone.

If you have small ears, these buds are not great for exercise. I did a lot of research before buying these (they are expensive!) and saw mixed reviews when it came to small ears. I can lift weights, walk etc. with them in, but as soon as I started doing more intense cardio (like running, rowing, boxing, etc.) or sweating more, they fall out. My ears are very small so if you have regular sized ears, these will probably be fine.

My workaround for them falling out is to use a thick headband and wear it over my ears to keep the buds smushed in. It's fine but not ideal considering how much these cost.

Like I said...great quality. Battery life is good. I wear them all the time when I go for a walk, clean the house, etc. I'd give a higher rating if they did a better job at staying in while doing more intense exercises.”

“I love these wireless headphones. I use them every day for listening to audiobooks, music, and also for making phone calls. The sound is clear and the people on the phone calls can hear me perfectly with no complaints. They are sturdy and fit well and stay put in the ear. They come with multiple different earpiece adapters so you can find exactly the right fit. I don't use them for exercise and haven't tried the heart rate or activity tracker functions. There is a smartphone app you can use with them for exercise purposes but I don't like being tracked like that.”

“Totally worth every penny. It's expensive yes but that's because you have a super long battery life and amazing sound quality!

Pairing was super easy!

Someone mentioned they keep falling out? What.... If installed per the diagram you would not that the little flap should go under the ear crease. I can't shake these things out if without breaking my neck.

Also there was a complaint about how long it took to get a custom fit. Really? Suck it up buttercup! Yes there are 12 tips that are paired 6 foam and 6 scilicone. Start at medium which is the second set and adjust up or down from there! I found an amazing fit on the second attempt.

I can't get over the sound quality! Bass is deep and responsive.

I totally recommend!”

“The earpieces are wonderful for music. You need larger ears for the fit to work (my wife cant get it in her ear). For me the fit is very secure. I can exercise without worrying that it will fall out. Once you have a truly wireless earpiece, you will never want anything else.

For the downside, I tend to listen to just on ear bud so I can still interact with the world around me. My one complaint is that the right earpiece is the "master" and the left earpiece cant function independently. If I want only one ear piece in, the right has to be it. The left only functions if i'm wearing the right earpiece. This is a problem because they only have a 3 hours battery life. If I could put the right one in the case to charge and pull out the left it wouldn't matter. I don't carry corded earphones anymore so when the right earpiece goes dead, I am seriously annoyed.”

“I was looking for some wireless headphones that I could use in ther gym. After reading reviews and browsing different products I decided to buy the Jabra Elite Headphones. What push me to buy them was the heartrate sensor on the buds, I figure it would be helpful as I like tracking my calories and heartrate when I exercise. I tried them once in the gym and it was a total fail. The buds would not stay in my ears no matter which modification I had on it. It got so annoying that every few minutes they would fly out in the middle of my workouts. Maybe it’s my ears but they just didn’t work for me. The application is nice but very limited and you can’t create your own freestyle workouts and the heartrate sensor is tied to the app only.”

Most users have given favorable reviews on Jabra elite sports earbuds, indicating that it is a good earbuds for exercise. However, it is not without its shortcomings.Earbuds are bulky and not fit for most people. Its in-ear design is not stable and comfortable to wear, especially in exercises.Therefore, if you expect to find headphones for exercise with more comfortable wearing experience and higher cost performance in the market, Wissonly Hi Runner sports bone conduction headphone are a good recommendation.
