Best over the ear noise cancellation for air trave
on August 22, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Much more comfortable than my WH-XM1003. I have used these on several flights and they greatly reduce the notice from the plane and the sound is excellent. I don't find that the new non-foldable headphones are issues when packing in my carry on

Great way to access apps without taking out your p

Verified Purchase:Yes
I ha a Gen 2 Fossil and I rely liked it's durability and features, so I upgraded to the Fossil Gen 4. The extra side buttons add a nice quick option for top used apps. I use one to open my garage door which comes in handy. It doesn't have the speaker like the Gen 2, but I never really used it anyway. I link my BT earbuds straight to my watch. There are literally 1000s of watch faces to download and use, so I have one watch that can match any occasion. You do need to let it go through 3 or 4 charging cycles before it seems to last an entire day, after that I am getting around 14 hours, which is my full day and I place it on the charger overnight.

Best of "The Crow" movies

I loved this movie when it came out and I still enjoy watching it. Brandon Lee was perfect for this role. It is a shame that he passed away so young like his father.

Best of the Iron Man series

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was never a big Iron Man fan, but as End Game was set to be released I wanted to complete watching the full series for any back story that I might have missed. I was glad that I bought this. Without giving any spoilers, I liked this Iron Man storyline the best of the three Iron Man movies.

Enjoy superior sound and voice quality with these Jabra Elite wireless headphones. Integrated controls let you answer calls, adjust the volume or pause music with the touch of a button, while the included carrying case doubles as a charging station. External ambient noise keeps you aware of your surroundings, while a background noise filter delivers crisp, clear voice calls. With Bluetooth connectivity, these Jabra Elite wireless headphones are easy to pair to a mobile device.

Elite65tOwner

Posted by: Freeka
from Memphis
Verified Purchase:Yes
have tried the Jabra Elite Sport and the Jabre Elite 65t as well as this version. I returned the Sport because I wasn't pleased with the fit, the wings had trouble staying on the earbud. I replaced those with the Elite 65t and I was very pleased with their fit and performance. I only returned those because I was able to get the Elite active for the same sale price of $149 (price match). Active has a better feel to them and are more waterproof than the elite 65t. The sound is excellent for my taste and the added features are what sold me on this particular true wireless. I have Bose Soundsport Free Truly Wireless and while the Bose to have a richer sound, I find them too bulky and the buttons troublesome to use. So I only use them when I want to really enjoy music while I am relaxing. If I am active I use the Jabra Elite as the control system is more user-friendly. The Amazon Alexa feature is great for me as I can open my garage, control lights and other Alexa skills without having to take out my phone. I haven't had any issues with the Alexa feature. Being able to pair two devices to my headset at the same time with Bluetooth 5.0 is a nice perk too. The app has a lot of nice features as well, like setting four different customs configurations (My Moment, Commute, Focus, and Active), so that you can easily switch from when you want to block out the outside world or be able to hear it. The "HearThrough" is a great feature to be able to hear the outside world. It takes the noise canceling mics for talking and feeds the sound through to your ears. I find that I actually hear better with that feature than with normal hearing. The auto pairing with going from one earbud to two is the fastest and most seamless that I have seen from the various true wireless earbuds that I have tested. The only downside for these earbuds is that you can only use the right earbud for going mono. This is true for all of the Jabra earbuds that I have bought. That is probably due to the pairing restrictions that make these pair so seamlessly. I have not tried the active sensor for workouts as I have a smartwatch that I use for tracking activity. Fitwise these stay in my ear better than any other brand that I have tested and are very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. I have tried to intentionally dislodge them by shaking my head as rapidly as I can and jumping up and down and the buds do not move. I am very pleased with my choice and believe that I have found the best pair for my needs and desires.

Good to complete the Thor timeline

I bought this to complete my Marvel Collection. I believe that the Thor series got better with each movie. But the first one is still enjoyable to watch and sets the characters introductions. I had forgotten that some of the other Avengers were in this movie as well which was a nice refresher as End Game will be out soon.

Only @ Best BuyListen to music with this sweat- and dust-resistant wireless Jabra Elite headset. It connects via USB, mini-jack or Bluetooth, and a powerful microphone lets you use voice commands with your mobile device. This Jabra Elite headset reduces background noise and has a built-in motion sensor that lets you track fitness efforts.
 

How is the connection with the Apple iWatch 4th Gen? I would prefer to leave my phone at home and connect purely through my iWatch for the duration of the workout.

I have a Fossil Gen4 WearOS and it works fine with my watch without having to bring my phone. Since they are BT 5.0 they can pair simultaneously to your phone and watch. Mine switches seamlessly from using my phone and watch.

Does any of the Jabra Elite Earbuds connects to Spotify? I mean can they play/pause/Rewind/Forward Spotify Music? Thanks

Yes, I just tested them and I was able to play/pause/forward. I do not have the premium service so even with my phone I can't rewind. However with my Pandora and Amazon music, all functions work fine, so I would suspect if you have Spotify Premium, you will be able to rewind as well. The buttons on these earbuds are very easy to activate without worrying about dislodging the bud from your ear.

Does the app have a “find my earbud” feature or something similar? If I am cycling an a gravel road and one pops out, will the app help me locate it?

Yes, it has a feature that has a fairly precise map location where they were last paired to your device as well as being able to make the earbud emit a sound to help you locate them. This feature is better than the one that comes with the Bose Soundsport as those only show where you last connected using the Bose app. The Elite Active 65t fit extremely snug, yet remain very comfortable. I have tried to get mine to fall out by doing rigorous head moves and jumping and I cannot get them to fall out, or even start to dislodge. Whereas the Bose are bulkier and I have gotten them to fall out fairly easy.

Can these be used as a hearing aid in conversations with other people?

I would not put them on the hearing aid level if you suffer from hearing loss. However, when they are on "HearThrough" mode they do amplify the sound that is picked up by the noise cancelation mic on each earbud. I find that I do hear better with that feature than I do with my normal hearing. I have used them when I have a little trouble hearing the TV conversations over outside noise and they do help. But I have never worn hearing aids so I do not have a good comparison.

Do both left & right earbuds have a mic and if so can just the left or right be used for phone calls in mono mode? I do no listen to music. I need mics in each earbud for phone calls so that if I loose one I have a backup.

Yes, there are two mics on both earbuds. This helps with the noise canceling feature. However, for Mono mode, you can only use the right earbud. That bud has the button that will let you take calls, put them on hold and switch between two calls. You would have to adjust volume with your phone. Since it is BT 5.0 you can also have it paired to two phones simultaneously. As far as losing one, these stay in the ear very well and have a recharging case to keep them in when not in use. The Jabra app also has "Find My Jabra" feature that gives a very precise location of where your earbud was last connected to your phone, as well as being able to turn the bud on remotely and have it emit as sound to help you locate it. I hope that this helps you in your decision.
