Jabra Elite 8 Active - Wireless In-Ear Bluetooth Earbuds with Adaptive Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation and 6 built-in Microphones, Water and Sweat Resistant - Black

These are my second pair of Jabra buds and they continue to impress with quality build and epic sound. Easy to set up with the app and a fair amount of settings to help get the quality of sound you like. The buds themselves look great and are very slim compared to my Elite 85t versions. This helps keep them stable within the ear ideal for those bumpy runs my Elites didn’t like. Came with extra silicone ear pieces to find a snug fit helps as have slightly larger canal ear holes. The basic ones usually slip out too easily. The charging case is great. Like my other ones it charges the buds when you take them off plus the case can be charged by USB C or by wireless charger if you lay the case down flat. The case has a rounded bottom that does not allow the case to stand up would be my only niggle. Unlike my 85t that allows you to stand up the case and charge it at the same time on my wireless pad. Sound quality has been great and a good option for noise cancellation is great to drown out the gyms noise when exercising. Though I do miss the hear through setting the 85t has for road running as that allowed me to hear traffic easier. All in all a great pair of buds and they work excellently in the gym. Look smart, feel comfortable and battery is long lasting.

Overall, I’ve been very impressed with the Jabra Elite 8 Active earbuds. What I like: - The fit is excellent once you choose the correct tips (I needed the middle size ones that were pre-fitted, my 18 year-old daughter needed the small ones – swapping them was very easy). I feel much more confident that they won’t fall out when exercising. There’s a noticeable resistance when taking the buds out, highlighting the good snug fit. Make sure you try out the different sizes; the small tips were noticeably too small for me as the noise cancelling wasn’t as effective. - The noise cancellation (ANC) is great; if I have music playing I can’t hear much background noise at all. When out running or walking, the ANC does a great job of masking the noise of traffic. - The sound quality is superb. Stereo works great, the sound is crisp and clear with decent treble and bass without the need to change settings in the app. I recommend turning the Spatial Sound on in the app for a more immersive sound. - Battery life, especially with the case recharging them around 4 times, is superb. - The buttons are nice and tactile; they can’t be pressed by accident like many other earbuds. What I don’t like (not a lot!): - The look is different to your conventional earbuds and can look a bit chunky in smaller ears. - I’ve not yet found a way to be able to control volume using the buds; you can personalise the button actions but don’t seem to be able to set volume up/down to one. If you want a quality pair of earbuds with great fit, sound quality, ANC and battery life, I’d thoroughly recommend these.

The Jabra Elite 8 Active headphones are marketed specifically for staying in your ears during workouts, so let’s dive right into that aspect first: they stay in when working out! The texture of the buds could almost be describes as very slightly sticky, the plastic is very soft to the touch which lends itself to them being very grippy, and thus stay in your ears really well when working out. I’ve gone a few runs with them in my time with the headphones and they are the most solid fit of any headphones I’ve used in the last few years. On top of the grippiness, the earbuds are rated to be totally waterproof, and highly dust resistant. They are even tested against salt water! So you can be totally confident about taking them to the beach, and sand and water won’t get in and break your earbuds. Even the case is resistant to water and dust (though not to the same level as the buds). Sound quality wise, the headphones are pretty good. Bass is heavy which is good for pumping tunes when getting a sweat on so again, Jabra have targeted these headphones well. But I don’t feel audiophiles will be convinced by the soundscape. Lastly, the earbuds offer decent noise cancellation. It’s not the best I’ve heard on a set of headphones around the same price, but completely usable. I haven’t had the chance to test them on a plane, which would be the best environment to test, but trying around the house, it did a decent job against hoovers and hairdryers!

Bought when on a regular sale, so offered more value for money. I find the Jabra elite active range to be the best earbuds I’ve found. The Acitve 8s have a huge jump in battery life over the 75T and 65T, and a much more compact design and comfortable fit. The case can charge wired or by wireless charging (wired tends to be quicker to charge the case up though). The case and buds charge up quickly and top up charges last long enough to never have the batteries run out on you. I wear mine almost all day when working a desk job. From around 9am, with noise cancellation on, the low battery notification only kicks in around 4pm and at that point you still have 20% of battery. Without ANC, I get a few hours longer. People say these aren’t bassy enough, but I really don’t know how much bass they want or need. These have a really solid sound considering the size of the earbud. I have the bass at a lower level than the maximum and find I get a really good sound that doesn’t sound like small earbuds at all. The complaints could be from people who have not seated the earbuds solidly into the ear (correct size tips and ensuring you twist into place to lock them in your ear) as there is no bass if not worn correctly, but this is the same for most earbuds. Theres a decent equaliser to get the sound you want, along with customisable buttons and features. The white noise sounds are also a nice addition. Sadly, these are the last Active buds Jabra are going to make, so I will likely buy these again if available when the battery starts to degrade (which is inevitable after 2 years or so with such a small battery used so regularly). However, the fact I would buy these again in a heart beat is a testament to how good these are. Although full price is expensive, they are often on offer and the offer price is very good value. I certainly recommend these over AirPods or more well known brands such as Bose or Sony.

I absolutely loved my jabra active 7 earbuds. The sound quality, the fit and durability. Unfortunately I misplaced them after 2 years and thought I would trust the excellent condition/refurb damaged box replacement. I wouldnt call these excellent, I assumed by the description that these would pretty much be unused but returned because they weren't suitable (lots of people don't get on with fit/sound etc) However the case was scratched and looked like they had been in use for a while. Also it's seems impossible to buy replacement ear gels (the description highlighted not original in the box). Because they were refurbished I thought I'll still give them a go but the right earbuds didn't work, the sound quality was awful (robotic speech on podcasts) and whilst I tried the reset functions advised on jabra to reduce Bluetooth interference? It said that the ear gels play an important part in ANC effectiveness and the imitation ones didn't seem to fit as well but hard to know without the branded gels. Perhaps I was just unlucky but I suggest that the condition is sold more realistically. I saw one review on here from someone who suggested the same so thought worth posting for anyone considering refurb. Don't bother, save your money and go for something new as there appears to be other brands coming in competitively with good spec and more value (hence jabra bowing out of this market now).

Having used Jabra devices in the past but mainly for office use, I was interested to see how their earbuds compared to the headsets I have used before, and the quick answer to that is very favourably! Unboxing is an easy experience, with a single pull tab to allow the package to open. From there you are presented with everything you need, the earbuds in their charging case, a USB C charging cable, 2 additional sets of in ear tips (although the ones pre-attached to the buds fitted me perfectly) and a graphical getting started guide. The setup process was very straightforward, where a voice guide takes you through the steps of connecting to the earbuds via Bluetooth, updating them and the charging case. This took about 15 mins to download the new firmware and it all completed without a hitch. Once updated, I installed the Jabra companion app for my iPhone, which allowed me to register for an extended 2 year warranty. You can also configure your listening settings including the noise cancelling mode, the frequency range and a set of standard listening profiles for music and audiobooks/podcasts. Onto using the earbuds themselves, they fit very comfortably without feeling tight when worn. They stayed in without issue when exercising and this was a game changer for me compared to my old earbuds as they always felt like they could fall out at any moment. The noise cancelling works extremely well and does a great job of blocking out the commuting noises from trains and buses. I am sure the same would be true on flights as well but I wasn't able to test that at this time. Finally, the performance of the earbuds more than exceeded my expectations. The volume level was very balanced meaning that it didn't need to be set very high to produce clear audio with both music and spoken word recordings. The soundstage feels bright and clear, and the addition of Dolby Spatial Sound is a feature usually reserved for more expensive models and really does make a big difference when used with applicable media. I would wholeheartedly recommend these earbuds as great all rounders, allowing users to exercise comfortably but also be effectively used in the office for phone and MS Teams calls and as such, I am very happy with this purchase.

The fit: I found the fit of these earbuds to be extremely comfortable. My ears are on the smaller side, so I struggle to get other brands of earbuds to fit in my ears without having to constantly readjust them and take them out frequently to give my ears a break from the rough plastic. The Jabra earbuds, however, have a rubberized coating, making them soft in your ears and allowing them to grip in the same position without being readjusted. These are so comfortable I had them in my ears all day and barely noticed they were there. The sound: As you can expect from Jabra, the sound quality is second to none. The treble is well-balanced, and the bass is punchy. You can also customise the sound profile in the app to your liking which I appreciated. I listen to a lot of film music which is complex and details can be missed with lesser sound quality but with these Jabras, the sound quality is mesmerising. Noise Cancelling: I was impressed with the noise-cancelling feature, it’s a big step up from my old Jabra earbuds and worked well on my commute and in the gym. It feels as though you’re listening to music on your own in a big room, the sound profile is very spacious. I like the hear-through feature too, this is useful if you want to listen to music but don’t want to be completely shut out from the outside world e.g., you want to hear the announcements from the train conductor but don’t want to be constantly taking your buds out of your ears. Call Quality: This is the only area where it feels like these earbuds are lacking as they pick up a huge amount of background noise when you’re on a call such that if you’re on a noisy or windy area, the person on the other end of the line cannot hear you well at all. If you’re in a quiet room indoors, however, they pick up the sound well and it's crystal clear. Overall Overall, I felt the earbuds performed exceptionally. The improvements to the fit made all the difference to me and I found them so comfortable to wear. My older model Jabra earbuds and other earbuds I have worn can make my ears really itchy and I often had to take them out of my ears to relieve the pressure and give my ears a break. I did not have any issues at all with these new buds, however, they are so comfortable to wear all day long!

Very pleased with the quality of these air buds, being an Apple fanatic it’s hard to win me over but I was strict straight away by the rubber tactile feel which feels premium. The buds case is modest albeit bigger than an AirPods case it still fits very comfortably in my pocket and is small enough I’ll probably misplace it! The buds themselves sit snuggly in my ear after selecting the correct tip. The sound quality is great with fair noise cancellation of what’s going g on around me. The microphone quality after a few practice records was good, that cringy moment of hearing myself. Overall I love these and will use them daily for work and sport. I did find they were a bit loose when running and was a bit nervous on them.

Uwielbiam te pchełki za: 1. przycisk fizyczny ( czapka, kominiarka i inne miękkie osłony głowy nie są problemem przy sterowaniu.) 2. dobre wyciszenie pasywne 3. jak na pchełki jedna z najlepszych jakość; podczas rozmów przez tel. 4. w miarę ok. ANC 5. dobre hit true 6. bateria pchełek w granicach 5 godzin z ANC ( resztę dnia podładowuję przez etui. W pracy, w przerwach bez problemu ładują się do 100%) 7. jakość dźwięku jest super ( jednak mogło by być głośniej.( W 10 jest dużo lepiej. Jak uzbieram to to może zdążę kupić) To są moje kryteria i moja ocena.

Defect product. Sent product back. Not all earbud plugs were included in the box. The right earbud was not working. Returned and shipped it. Almost a month later and still have not received my money back.

Really loved these while they lasted. Have had them for 6 months and they no longer work. They can't connect to Android, Windows or iOS. Only one bud works. I recommended the brand to my wife because I was happy and she got the elite 10's and a pair for work. I'm really disappointed in the product. Loved them while they worked.

Grundsätzlich habe ich seit meinen ersten TWS Kopfhörern (Soundcore Liberty Lite) stets Modelle mit den sogenannten Earwings getragen. Der Halt war speziell für meinen Einsatzzweck (Sport) sehr wichtig, weswegen sich diese Modelle besonders geeignet haben. Zuletzt hatte ich daher nun die JBL Reflect Flow Pro in Nutzung. Technisch gibt es hier jedoch einige Defizite, die mich im Verlauf zu sehr gestört haben und ich bin auf die Jabra Elite Active 8 geschwenkt, die ich seit dem Release schon im Blick hatte. Da hier jedoch keine Earwings zum Einsatz kommen, war ich sehr skeptisch. Nun zu den Inhalten. Tragekomfort Für mich die größte Überraschung im Vergleich zu meinen vorigen Hörern. Die in Ears sind wahnsinnig leicht und unglaublich gut geformt. Ich hatte es für ausgeschlossen gehalten, mit Kopfhörern ohne Earwings Seil zu springen, zu laufen und Workouts zu machen. Nachdem ich jedoch nun alle diese Aktivitäten getestet habe, kann ich sagen, dass die Jabras einen unglaublich guten Halt bieten. In meinem Fall waren die ersten Tage etwas ungewohnt, da die Hörer im Vergleich zu den JBL Modellen viel lockerer im Ohr liegen. Dieser nicht vorhandene Anpressdruck hat daher fast schon gefehlt. So hatte ich anfangs schnell das Gefühl, dass ich die Hörer verlieren könnte. Dies ist jedoch nicht im Ansatz der Fall und die Leichtigkeit beim Tragekomfort empfinde ich nun als sehr positiv, vor allem bei langem Tragen. Noise Cancelling/Hear Through Die Kopfhörer haben 6 Mikrofone für diesen Einsatzzweck und schaffen damit endlich das, was ich so lange vermisst habe. Sie blenden beim Laufen draußen im Wind diesen fast komplett aus. Jedes vorige Modell mit ANC hat einfallenden Wind stark verstärkt und damit das Laufen draußen teils sehr unangenehm gemacht wenn man weiterhin seine Umgebung hören wollte. Die Jabras hingegen beeindrucken enorm. Wenn der Wind das erste Mal einfällt, rauscht er in der ersten Millisekunde ebenfalls deutlich hörbar. Danach wird er jedoch direkt ausgeblendet, als würde der Wind einfach aufhören zu pusten. Dies macht es absolut problemlos mit eingeschalteter Hear Through Funktion Sport zu betreiben. Das Noise Cancelling arbeitet ebenfalls sehr gut. Wenn die Unterdrückung von Wind aktiviert ist, gibt Jabra eine Leistungsreduktion des NC an. Dieses wirkt auf mich mit dieser Einstellung etwas schwächer als das, meiner vorigen JBL Reflect Flow Pro. Nichts destotrotz ist es auf einem hohen Niveau und sobald Musik läuft, wird auch nichts mehr von der Außenwelt eingefangen. Dies ist für mich der einzige Punkt, wo noch Luft nach oben ist. Software Mittlerweile ist die Software ein essentiell wichtiger Bestandteil bei jedem Produkt und im Zweifel steht und fällt ein solches dadurch. Jabra liefert hier eine sehr hohe Qualität. Die App bietet absolut sinnvolle Einstellungen und sehr viele Komfort-Funktionen. Dabei ist die Bedienung hervorragend und ich habe (Als IT Unternehmensberater) keine Klage zu UI/UX. Schön ist, dass Funktionen wie Side Tone geboten werden (Eigene Stimme bei Calls hören) die es sonst bei den Jabra Business Produkten gibt. Die Tatsache, dass Jabra bei der diesjährigen CES kein neues Produkt vorstellt, sondern für die Elite Active 8 und die Elite 10 große Updates bringt, finde ich persönlich absolut vorbildlich. Die technischen Optionen sind selten schon ausgeschöpft und mit einem solchen Update entsteht fast ein neues Produkt ohne den Preis auf Seite der Kunden zu erhöhen. Klang Der Klang ist meiner Ansicht nach ausgezeichnet und leistet sich keine Schwächen. Ich habe mir meinen üblichen Equalizer konfiguriert und würde behaupten, dass der Klang noch klarer und differenzierter als bei meinen JBL Reflect Pro ist. Hier sollte jeder glücklich werden. Allgemeines Durch die kompakte Größe ist auch die QI fähige Ladeschale super kompakt und im Gegensatz zu JBL hervorragend zum Mitführen geeignet. Dabei ist der LED Indikator schön gelungen. Generell sind die Hörer quasi unzerstörbar, was den sorglosen Einsatz in absolut jedem Szenario mit sich bringt. Das ist für mich wichtig und wurde super umgesetzt. Fazit Mich haben die Kopfhörer sehr beeindruckt. Es wird ein extrem hohes Qualitätslevel geliefert, was sich vor doppelt so teuren Kopfhörern nicht verstecken braucht. Der Tragekomfort ist hoch und speziell die Filterung von Wind kam mir bisher bei noch keinem anderen Modell unter. Ich würde die Kopfhörer uneingeschränkt empfehlen und bin sehr glücklich sie nun im täglichen Einsatz zu haben. Wer ohne Musik oder nur mit sehr geringer Lautstärke ein extrem gutes ANC braucht, sollte jedoch ggf. noch weiterschauen. Hier ist noch ein klein wenig Luft zur Speerspitze im Segment.

Ho approfittato di un buono e del Prime Day che un paio di settimane fa mi hanno consentito di prenderle ad un prezzo molto conveniente...forse il prezzo pieno è leggermente alto...però...però...però... Positive! Ecco le mie impressioni: premetto che ho a che fare con audio e musica al 90% non commerciale, e che le ho prese al 99% per questo motivo e solo all' 1% come auricolari per le telefonate. Comodità eccellente, confortevoli al tatto, piacevolmente satinate, restituiscono la sensazione di una fattura di livello alto, confortevoli anche per le orecchie, ed io sono molto suscettibile in questo (ne ho restituire due anche per questo motivo) Personalmente dopo un ora o più percepisco un certo fastidio ma credo non esista un auricolare completamente impercettibile. Audio buono! Dovrei dire eccellente, considerando che sono auricolari wireless e non certo cuffie alta fedeltà hi-end con cavo, per cui se cercate un audio buono per musica classica o qualsiasi cosa richieda un ascolto attivo e non faccio distinzioni di genere, mi sento veramente di consigliarle. Assolutamente sovradimensionate se solo (ripeto) per uso telefonico o per "subire" passivamente musicademmer... La confezione si presenta benissimo: cartone ecologico, custodia ricarica bella e seria, vari gommini in silicone per le varie orecchie che le accoglieranno, istruzioni essenziali ma c'è altro sul web, ottima app di supporto con piccolo eq personalizzabile, cancellazione del rumore tutto sommato buona tanto che sconsigliata se ad es scorrazzate in bici o motorino in città (vi ficcano sotto nel silenzio) e funzione "hear thru" utile proprio allo scopo di percepire i rumori circostanti. Carica sufficiente per non avere problemi di abbandono e custodia di ricarica come dicevo carina, anch' essa satin e molto gradevole al tatto La mia votazione è 5 ma riconosco che un po' di volume in più (ce n'è, ma sotto i 3/4 con il mio iPhone 11, all' aperto potrebbe non essere così presente) le avrebbe rese nel loro range di prezzo, delle cuffiette perfette. Mi pare esplicito che comunque ne consiglio l' acquisto
