Saw the announcement Jabra was getting out of consumer audio and decided to replace my gen 1 pair even though they were still hanging on. Haven’t noticed too many differences but that’s more of a testament to their consistent quality.

Great specs, just “meh” performance

I’ve been a fan of Jabra’s in-ear buds for many years. When I read that they plan to exit the consumer market next year I figured I’d give their “swan song” earbuds a shot as my luck with previous Jabras had been great. These buds, however, despite their “military grade” specs seem to have been designed with inferior sound-blocking/sound-filtering technology. In the gym, the “noise” that would come through (no matter how loud I played the music) just made them absolutely unenjoyable to wear. And yes, I made sure the fit was snug and that both buds were properly “sealing” in my ear canals. Design wise these are a winner. They seem well constructed. The case is nicely designed. I’m not sure about that Bluetooth passthrough feature the case has because I didn’t get the chance to use it. In stark contrast, my Bose in-ear buds immediately squash the outside noises so I can enjoy the full rich sound that these in-ear buds are meant to deliver. I reluctantly returned the Jabras.

Replaced my Jabra Active 65t's, these new Elite 8 Gen 2's are awesome. Bass is great, the pass through works well. I have passthrough on medium when I workout because I like to be aware of my surroundings.
I was going to get the Samsung Pro 3, but they are dragging their feet on the release and I hear they have a lot of quality issues. Glad I pulled the trigger on these.
