Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are the second ones I buy from this brand and they are very good, I eat them again.

Jabra is the unequivocal king of wireless earbuds...especially for people with active lifestyles. The sound quality is far superior to many others and completely customizable. They stay in your ears and are extremely comfortable. Bought myself a pair years ago and I still have them. My wife loves the set I just bought her. I love the noise canceling features. I put them on constantly when I was going after a couple more degrees. Some good tunes and no distractions...my papers practically wrote themselves.

Great earbuds! I loved using these for working out and for work. Either with the ANC or without. Yhey also have a hear through setting that was great for being outside in a busy place and being able to losten to your music and still hear someone coming up behind you. Unfortunately i lost one of mine, but I will be buying these again. Great battery life as well!

At this pricepoint I wasn't expecting much, but wow. Sound quality is decent, noise cancellation isn't top of the line, but truthfully at this price I'm not expecting that. It's not bad at all. But the real area these earbuds shine is comfort and fit. I've worn them for hours at a time and will hardly notice at times. In terms of limit testing, I wiped out on my skateboard, went flying and fell hard, these buds, did not budge one bit. Needless to say, I'll be purchasing the newer model a couple years from now, but until then I'm more than happy with my purchase.

Amazing, best fit and sound overall !!! Very happy with my purchase !

Works excellent. I have a bose and this is just as good. Pairs well with phone. Very Goog active noise cancelation. It's very comfortable as it comes with different sizes of the ear pieces. Sound quality is excellent and can be customized. Buy it!!

Amazing buds. Great battery life. Excellent hear through mode. The best part about these buds is the sound quality. Absolutely amazing. Can't go wrong with these.

Pretty good pair of headphones for the price (I bought it during a sale). The only reason why it wouldn’t be a 5 star is that it didn’t have some features others of the same brand had like playing background noise. Good battery life and charge time but the noise cancellation isn’t as good as jabra’s elite series. The fact that the magnet on the case snaps the headphone into position to charge it is great too.

Excellent Ear Buds, great sound, very durable, long battery life.

i just upgraded from elite 3 worth a try for this new model

I love the sound. They are comfortable on my head. Plastic feel but worth it for the price and sound. They fold up for easy carry.

Love the sound and value on the item definitely would recommend for anyone looking for great value

Good little buds, with a big kick, will buy them again with no hesitation.

TLDR: (that’s Too Long, Didn’t Read) Overall an amazing value for the price. The primary missing features are wireless charging for the case and premium materials. Otherwise, they sound great, have ANC and Transparent modes and long battery life for an amazing price. Pros: * Great sound. * Comfortable fit. * Long battery life both in the buds and the case. * Compact charging case. * Useful ANC and Transparent modes. * Each bud can be used solo. * Useful app. Cons: * No wireless charging for the case. * No in-ear sensor (doesn’t auto-pause when removed). * Lack of premium materials (all plastic). Details - Setup: Setup was fast and easy just like all recent Jabra TWS headphones. The provided app takes care of the heavy lifting and guides you through pairing and modifying initial settings. It’s a rather nice experience compared to even some premium competitors. Details - Typical Usage: The charging case may be all plastic, but it’s still a rather nice design. The compact case is similar in shape and about the same size as an AirPods Pro case, yet it can sit up on its own even with the lid open, which snaps closed with a nice magnetic click. The lid stays open and the case is stable if left on a flat surface. The buds are very easy to grab and remove but also snap into the case with a satisfying magnetic hold. The buds have a slim shape that fits my ears well and they don’t protrude much. There is no extra “wing” to hold them in place, but they didn’t budge during workouts and while walking around. The outer flat surface is a tactile button to perform the usual actions of answering/ending calls, toggling through the ANC/Transparent modes, etc.. While the button doesn’t have any bumps or other tactile indication to identify by touch alone, I found it rather easy and obvious to use. In fact, I prefer these tactile buttons to the capacitive buttons that most other TWS headphones use. I did notice, though, that touching the buds while “hunting” for the button did transmit a rubbing sound through the shell of the buds. This isn’t a big deal, but it’s worth noting. The ANC and Transparency (HearThrough) modes are not industry-leading, but they are still very effective. I noticed a significant reduction in noise when ANC was on, and could easily participate in a conversation with someone nearby with the Transparency mode on. In the app, you can choose to have the audio muted when the transparent mode is activated. This worked well, but I would prefer that the audio is paused rather than merely muted - especially if listening to podcasts where you’ll miss anything that is going on while the HearThrough mode is on. Instead of voice prompts, these headphones use sound effects to indicate connectivity, battery status, etc.. These work, but voice prompts are more obvious without having to memorize what each sound effect means. I have a fairly large stable of TWS headphones from basic models to very pricey high-end models. The sound quality of these Jabra’s are quite good; even compared to models that are much more expensive. Charging is via a USB-C plug on the back only as there is no wireless charging - not really a huge deal. Charging via cable is still faster than using a wireless charging pad, anyway. There is an LED on the front of the case and lights on each bud to indicate charging/pairing status. T The provided app allows for the usual firmware updates, settings changes and shows battery status of each bud and the case. The LEDs on each bud and the case also provide some status, too. The app also has a nice EQ to adjust the sound to your choice. I have seen other TWS earbuds with more comprehensive apps, but other have no apps. This is a nice balance of useful features without too much fluff. Conclusion: TWS headphones seem to be grouped in three main categories; budget models that basically just play audio, high-end models that focus on amazing sound quality and have a ton of convenience features, and mid-level models that attempt to strike a balance between the two. These Jabra headphones are priced like the mid-range but really offer a ton of attributes that you’d expect from a high-end model…. but at a mid-level price. Jabra seems to have included a lot things you’d expect from more expensive models and left out things that hopefully won’t matter much to you. Overall, these are an amazing value for the price.

Wish the noise cancelling was a bit better, but loud enough. Can use while working with power tools and hear the music playing.

There are tons of earbuds out there now, and no one model is perfect for everyone. Each person has different needs and budgets (and ears). The Jabra Elite 4 “true” noise canceling earbuds are priced in the mid-range category at just under $120 retail, but offer true noise canceling which you sometimes have to pay a bit more for in others. Since we’re working more from home now, having true noise canceling tech is helpful to drown out distracting background sounds (do NOT use while driving, though). My ears are picky, though. Initial pairing with your phone isn’t hard with the press of both bud’s buttons, and once the initial pairing is done, they will turn on and re-pair again with your phone automatically when removed from the case (and turn off when returned to the case). Note, there may be a firmware update when you first connect and it does take a few minutes to complete with no status bar in the app, so just wait it out. The downloadable app (more below) walks you through the process. You can get the Jabra Elite 4 in either black (mine) or Navy. They fit snugly in your ear using the small, medium, or large silicone ear tips that come with them. Comfort level is pretty good – Something I can wear for a few hours or so comfortably, though maybe not all day. The Elite 4 are IP57 rated for water resistance, so sweating isn’t a big problem, nor normal amounts of rain. Once charged in their case, you get up to 7 hours of use (I got just a bit more since I don’t crank the volume up a lot, though using it for calls will drain them a little quicker, as does using full noise canceling). Popping them back in the case will charge them again for up to 21 hours in the case, before you need to recharge the case itself (via USB-C cable – included). The case only has one LED on the front that tells you how much battery you have left based on color (Green, Yellow, Red, etc). I would prefer maybe a four-block LED so you could tell if it’s 100%, 75%, 50% or 25% charged though – as these are easier to see than trying to make out a color. The “Sound +” app for your phone will allow you to make more precise adjustments to the sound with their equalizer. You can turn on noise canceling completely by tapping the side or using the app, so you hear almost nothing of your surroundings (this works very well), or you can allow ambient noise to come through a bit in different levels so you are more aware of your surroundings while using them (this also works very well). Music is clear and again, adjustable to your likes with varied preset sound settings or the ability to adjust it manually – I don’t listen to things cranked up to full, but even higher than normal I really haven’t heard any distortions. They have 4 microphones – for the most part, those I have talked to using them for calls, said I sounded natural and they didn’t hear any distortions, though I did have to speak slightly louder than my normal tone of voice in order for them to hear me as though I was just on my phone. A single click answers the phone and a double-click hangs up. You can just use one bud if you’re using these primarily for phone calls, too. Combinations of taps and holds on the bud sides will let you adjust volume, next track for songs, etc. You can access Alexa via the buds directly and it does work – I’m not really an Alexa fan so don’t see this as something I’ll heavily use, but it’s there if you like or need it. Music and volume controls are through a series of clicks or hold-clicks on either/and/or bud. So, the build quality is really good. Sound in-ear is really good. Voice calls are fine. Battery life is very good compared to some others that cost even more. Comfort level is subjective, and I’d say good for me, but your mileage will vary depending on the shape/size of your ears – they do fit snugly if you use the right size tip. While they’re not absolutely perfect, I still give them 5 stars because what you do get for the money is an excellent value. Thumbs up!

Physically, the design language is similar to the previous version, which I have been using for almost half a year. The case is slightly bigger, but is still quite portable, and I appreciate the matte black finish because it does not attract smudges or fingerprints. The cap stays up when opened, which makes it easier to take out the buds and place them back in. There is a subtle branding on the front above the status LED light, and a USB-C charging port in the back. It’s a quite simple but sleek design in my opinion. The buds themselves retained that triangular shape, which allows them to be easily handled. In my experience, this design fits very well and are very comfortable. After using them for an entire battery cycle, which by the way is short of 6.5 hours, and during several activities, I did not experience any fatigue, soreness, or discomfort. Even when sweating profusely, they stayed in place while doing movements such as jumping jacks and the like. By the way, these are rated IP57, which means that a lot of sweat or little rain will not be a concern. The seamless connection technology makes them super easy to pair. Having Bluetooth 5.2, they stayed well connected while walking around my medium-sized apartment. Since they offer aptX codec, I did not notice any significant lag or sync issues -especially when playing videogames. I appreciate that I can control all important functions from the buds such as play, pause, call handling, voice assistance, and most importantly for me, volume. The downside -for me at least, is that these are push controls, and often I had to press a bit hard to make something happen. This causes the bud to jam further into the ear, and more than once I felt the air “pop”. Pressing the buttons can be somewhat cumbersome when running. I would’ve liked an “always-on” voice assistance mode to relieve this. Also, you can use these buds independently, for those who use one bud occasionally. The ANC is rather impressive. While walking around a busy street, the buds were able to suppress almost all lower rumbles, engine sounds, and planes (I live close to an airport). I am not traveling now, but I tested them by simulating a plane’s cabin low frequency and crowd noise and they did very well. The HeartThrough or ambient mode is decent enough. I still feel it’s a bit unnatural, but it is an essential feature for a sports earbud. I am quite pleased with the sound signature coming from these buds out of the box. Choosing the right size gel tip and creating a good seal, the 6mm drivers deliver full, crisp, clear sound that is sure to please most music lovers. The bass is impactful, precise, and has a level of sub-bass (subwoofer-like) that adds body to the sound. The midrange is well represented and neutral, allowing rhythm instruments, vocals, and choruses to be well defined. The treble soars high without being harsh or fatiguing. And just in case, you have a full EQ and presets in the Sound+ App to ensure you get the sound you want for any genre. The call quality, as expected from Jabra, is superb. I was heard loud and clear and my voice, albeit still retaining that typical wireless lack of bass. Still, they sounded full and almost natural. I was further impressed when taking a call outdoors in traffic, as the 4-mic array seems to be doing its job. I did experience some wind noise, but not enough to be distracting. The battery is not too shabby. Again, it lasted 6.5 hours or so on one sitting and the case makes it about 28 hours. There’s also a quick-charge option where a few minutes in the case adds several hours of playback. Unfortunately, the case does not support Qi wireless charging. Additionally, the robust Sound+ App brings significant customization by offering updates, control schemes, ANC/Ambient levels, full EQ, “Find My Buds”, and more, furthering the Elite 4’s value. Having multi-point connectivity would’ve sealed the deal for me. In the end, I find the Elite 4 to be of great value. They are simple, have an elegant design, are comfortable and functional -not just for sports, but for everyday listing.

Bought these for work because theyre called active. Part of my job consists of weed eating and they absolutely dont work for that they screech in your ear the entire time you run loud equipment. Also the day after I couldnt return them my left ear bud quit working completely. Ive recently read thats a common issue with these and its a real shame to pay so much for a product that cant make it past 2 weeks

These are my second pair of Jabra’s and I love these even more! I still have my first pair, these are magnetic to case and hold a longer chair. Wouldn’t change to another brand!

The Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds are well-regarded for their comfort, sound quality, and durability, making them a solid choice, especially for fitness enthusiasts. They have a secure fit, which is essential during intense workouts. The earbuds come with three sizes of silicone ear tips to ensure a comfortable fit for most users. Their ergonomic shape and light weight contribute to their secure and comfortable fit. One of the key features of the Elite 4 Active is their water resistance, rated at IP57, which makes them fully waterproof and suitable for rigorous workouts. The earbuds use physical buttons for controls, which are reliable but require a bit more force to use due to the protective rubber membrane. In terms of sound, the Elite 4 Active earbuds deliver good audio quality. They may not have the expansive soundstage or depth of some higher-priced models, but they offer decent clarity, detail, and solid bass, making them suitable for a variety of music genres, especially those that are popular for workouts. The Elite 4 Active comes with customizable Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Jabra's HearThrough transparency mode, which can be adjusted via the Jabra Sound+ app. The app also offers EQ customization and presets for quick audio adjustments. The battery life of the earbuds is solid, providing ample power for prolonged use. However, they do not come with some premium features like wireless charging. Overall, the Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds are a good mid-range option, especially for those who are into fitness and need durable, waterproof earbuds with good sound quality and reliable controls.
