I read the reviews and even went to a few people on advice before I purchased these wireless earbuds. I was concerned that since these did not have an ear hook (like bose) that they would not remain in my ear. However they fit just fine and they are awesome. I knew from some of the reviews that bass was lacking and that's a true statement. I have a pair of jam wireless earbuds that have way more bass but they are not as comfortable as this pair. So it seems that I had to trade base for comfort which in some cases are ok . The only time the lack of bass really bothers me is when I listen to a song that I know that has a great bass line and its not there. Don't get me wrong the bass is there but not like overpowering. However I would still reckoned this pair, the left and right bud have never lost sync with eachother. however you can listen to the right bud in solo mode I have not figured out a way to listen to the left on in solo mode I am not sure if its possible. It seems like more people want to chat to me on my right side than my left. I have not been able to exercise the app yet because I am out to sea on a ship with no wifi and to exercise all of the features you need internet. So if you don't have internet don't expect the extra features.
UPDATE: Since I have been able to upload the App and they also updated the APP recently I know think this is the best pair of wireless earbuds on the market. Being on facetime and phone calls is a blast with these. You don't have to raise your voice you can speak natural and the caller on the other side can hear you just fine.
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.
I purchased these "Used-Like New" via Amazon Warehouse to replace my Jaybird Freedoms because the wire kept pulling the buds loose from my ear. They came in great condition. Once I put them in my ears and turned them on they gave prompts for Bluetooth connection. The Jabra sound+ app is helpful and allows for tuning so I would download if you haven't. I'm not sure what some reviewers were complaining about regarding sound volume as I use Sony 950B over ears and find the Jabra Elites to be loud enough for my taste. A tight fit allows for great sound isolation and the hear-through feature is awesome for when I am cycling. I do agree with other reviewers that the case should be magnetized to hold the ear phones securely when you open it as they tend to jump and I can forsee a few falls coming in the future. I would gladly recommend these to anyone who asks. (For now)
These are the best BT ear buds I have had in a while.Great but not awesome for one reason only, that is having not noise canceling... I mean all the manufacturers have gone to this"noise canceling as in cancels sound around you from being heard to the listener. Well that is great, but isn't that an inherent trait of an in ear bud? My issue is outside noises heard to the recipient on the phone. I mean I literally watched 100 + video reviews on these this on Youtube before dropping almost $200 aaagain on some buds. No one, and I MEAN NO ONE tested these in a real noisy environment to see what the recipient heard!!! So I rolled the dice... Again... Real world these this are good for a lot of people, comfort, style (not giant bugger hanging out of your head, Air Pods...), and overall performance. All the listed features are great and perform well too. Okay so how is it Jabra can do such and amazing job at making these things perform against wind noise but other noises are... ready...? AMPLIFIED to the recipient on the phone!!!! I mean they did a stellar job on the wind noise reduction as in driving down the road in my car at 60+ MPH with the front windows down all the way and they hear nothing stellar!!! Now on the other hand if I am in the shop (automotive) it is like a ear blast to the person I am on the phone with and they can not hear me, but the pneumatic tool sounds are super clear and crisp... LOL... That one draw back prevents the 5 star rating! The only buds I have had that were able to do that was the first gen Jaybird buds but they picked up wind noise and not true wireless, oh and not around any more. The Jaybird X3 don't even bother on outside noise cancellation to the recipient. Well I just wish these manufacturers would "listen" to a call and say hmmm, I bet there are a lot of people that would pay more for this if they actually did these functions! Oh well one day... one day...
Simply amazing. I own the Bragi Dash Pros and these take the cake...and they're cheaper too. Sound is above-average with decent bass and acceptable mids/highs. One of my biggest surprises was how loud these things can go. At three quarters from full volume, these things are plenty loud.
Similar to Bragi's Audio Transparency (allowing you to hear surroundings when not playing music), Jabra does well with the HearThrough functionality. Not overly sensitive, the earbuds pick up just enough to hear outside sounds without blasting your eardrums.

I have been looking at these earbuds for quite a while, but was hesitant to pull the trigger because of a number of less than glowing reviews, specifically the reviews that noted they dropped connection fairly often. But I own other Jabra headsets that I like quite a bit, so I finally purchased a pair, and I have to say that I am completely delighted with these earbuds! I've been using them for about a month in a variety of situations: biking, working out, on a plane, in the car, on conference calls, and they are easily the best wireless headset/earbuds that I have owned. Great fit in my ear, easy to connect and use, really good sound, and despite what others have said the phone app is pretty straight forward and easy to use. But here is the best part, in the month that I have been using these, the earbuds have NEVER lost their connection with the phone, and I have never had any skips while playing music (using with an iPhone 7). And as others have mentioned, this is the first headset I have used for calls where I don't always have the volume on maximum because they are plenty loud. Very happy with this purchase.
WOW! Absolutely fantastic sound with my iPhone 7 and MacBook Pro. Setup was very intuitive and quick, with the only confusion arising from the need to install the Jabra 65t app on my phone in order to complete the installation. I have very large ear canals, so I was concerned that the standard medium silicone inserts would not fit well, but they actually worked out quite well. In the end, I swapped the mediums our for the large cups, and I get an excellent seal and isolation, and they are comfortable enough that I can go for 2-3 hours with these buds inserted in my ears without being aware of the buds in my ears (can't say that about any other similar buds, which usually get painful after about an hour).
The sound quality is simply superb and rivals my older Etymotics buds (that I'm now retiring). Volume controls are intuitive (on the left bud), and power/call control is on the right bud. Yet again, a Jabra product that doesn't require the use of a user's manual. I'm also a daily (happy) user of the flagship Jabra Engage 75 binaural headset -- my daily work headset -- and the build and sound quality of the Elite 65t is right up there with the Engage.
After (literally) decades of being a dedicated Sennheiser fan, I've now completely switched over to Jabra and feel that I am getting the greatest possible value for my money -- and a lot of money it is, as an early adopter ($600 for both the Engage and the Elite). Couldn't be happier and more thrilled with this purchase.
I have an Android phone without a 3.5mm jack for headphones, and this makes it quite a bit of a pain to plug in headphones: I would have to get my headphone case, take out the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, plug that in, then plug in my headphones and untangle the cables. On top of that, the headphones I owned didn't sound too great anyway so there wasn't much of a "payoff".
I've been meaning to buy a pair of wireless earphones but every time I went and looked they were either too expensive, had poor sound quality, or had poor battery life. The Jabra Elite 65t's seem to put a very good balance to all most of these by having both good sound quality and battery life, although many will find $160 to be a bit of a steep price to pay for any sort of earphones at all. I made the splurge and decided to go with these and so far have not been disappointed.
Two of my favorite features of these earphones are the ability to set passive sound so you can hear people around you through the built-in microphone, which works pretty well, and the ability to EQ your music. At first, listening to these earphones had me pretty let down considering I was enjoying the fit they had in my ears and the neat case they came in. After playing around with the EQ settings (which I recommend to use from my screenshot) it gave them a nice boost in sound clarity, much better sounding than the wired earbuds I have.
While I've only tested these earbuds for a few days, I've noticed that the battery life is pretty good, even after a few 5-15 minute phone calls while on my job I end up at around 80-85%. Mic quality seems to be okay as well, as I haven't heard any complaints about my voice sounding poor.
The charging case is also pretty slick and it's easy to drop the buds into their respective charging spots. I would have preferred for the charging case to be through USB-C as opposed to Micro-USB, but it does its job.
What I thought was going to be a $160 disappointment of a purchase ending in a return, actually evolved into a regret that I hadn't done it sooner. I really do recommend these earbuds, they're convenient, sound good, and last a good while.
Just received this product on Wednesday but i'll write my initial impressions and update as I go.
Background: I'm a runner and have been looking to have good bluetooth earbuds to use while running as well as when i'm on the go. Having the ability to listen to music as well as take the occasional call while running through the airport would be great.
Pros:
* Nice small compact earbuds that has a relatively nice charge.
* Only done some limited activity (cardio) so far but the earbuds have stayed in the ear. I sweat a lot from the head so earbuds would always fall out during exercise.
* Love the ability to control a lot of things from the earbuds.
* HearThrough works pretty well.
* Paring is seamless and painless. They connect to the phone pretty quickly and don't have any issues (yet) with the earbuds connecting to each other.
Cons:
* Voice commands via Alexa ability isn't enabled yet. Siri works fine.
* The app could be more refined as there was a registration issue (fixed today) and sometimes the app will cause the ear buds to disconnect for some reason.
* Earbuds seem to hurt my ears a little after wearing them for more than an hour. I am debating on whether I should get Comply Foam Tips to resolve this issue.
* Buttons can be painful to press -- feels like you're jamming the buds into your ear.
* Base seems to be lacking but you can modify it via the music equalizer in the app.
Update 6/11: Got the Comply Foam Tips (the sports kind) but they don't really fit well on these ear buds. I ended up reverting back to the original tips and it's actually been fine. My ears have adjusted to them I guess. I'm using them to and from commutes as well as my workouts with no issues. Haven't been really using the buttons much yet though.
I'm amazed by these headphones. They sound great, are wonderful for phone calls, don't look obnoxious like the Bose and most other truly wireless headphones, and just plain work. Always. I haven't had a dropped signal at all in the past month plus that I've been using these. And the battery life is typically more than twice what I need. I was on a call for 3.5 hours with no issue. Also, these go into your ears easily and stay there. The app to control all the settings is simple and useful as well.
The only faults I've found with these are 1) I've been told (after asking specifically about it) that some outside noise during calls can leak into the call. Nowhere near enough that the person on the other end can't hear you, but enough that they can tell if you're walking around in the city or a park or riding a bike or something. And 2) They don't smoothly go back and forth between your computer and your phone. It takes some work to switch up the bluetooth connection. Of course, Jabra never promises that this will go smoothly. Instead, they say that these are optimized to work with your phone. Neither of these faults are a big deal to me, but may be useful for you to know.
If you want an excellent set of truly wireless in-ear headphones, I don't think you can currently do better than these.
