🚨*UPDATE* 🚨We retested the battery life and we got 9 hours on the battery on the Jabra.
Do Have Regrets about Mistakes, Everyone!
thanks for this! I've bought the Jabras but after about 8 hours of testing I'm returning them. The ANC amplifies sudden loud noises like the tram door closing and this is an absolute dealbreaker(without ANC there is no painful loud amplification so it's def that).
Also 30min drained 10%, 1hour 20%, so didn't seem they would even last 6 hours.
Prob gonna buy the XM5s, loved the XM4s but the battery died bc of the firmware... def not gonna update the fw on the XM5s lol
Wow, 9 hours is more than 7 pro. I'll get them. Have you tested without ANC? Thanks for the review.
That's what happens when you keep thinking about testic.... testing
@@steveooo42 why would the battery died bc of the firmware update?
@@groundingtiming IIrc they had a few batches where they did not use the right batteries in the earbuds but adjusted in the firmware for the lower voltage
But they did not do seperate updates that would keep the voltage lower so suddenly batteries with 3.7V were constantly charged to 3.85V and as we all know, thats not the best thing
Thanks guys, for taking great efforts to make this video. It has helped me make a decision!
@DHRME great job with very interesting, important and practical points! The only thing I've missed is that usually people looks for loud and potent sound, whereas I look for low and Hi-Fi sound combined with noise cancelling, so I don't damage my hearing more as did for long years listening high volume on lower quality buds.... Would love to hear your opinion on that as it looks like the Sony has a better passive noise isolation and I'm worried Jabra won't cancel everything at lower volume
Nice video, guys!
How does their call quality while biking in the wind compare to that of the Liberty 3 Pro? I've been looking for a replacement for my L3P for more than a year, but nothing seems to be as good for that scenario.
Thanks!
I'm glad someone is finally putting out a decent competitor to the XM5s, at a lower price, and that it was Jabra.
Hopefully Jabra will improve even more with a few updates in the coming months. Oval buds always fit better for me. Thanks for the great work!
Jabra: Aight, I give up. I'm out.
This is one of the best reviews!! I love the way you guys handle this! Great job fellas! I picked them up and I absolutely love them. Replaced all my earbuds including Bose Quiet comfort 2s and Sony XM5s. I no longer have to carry 2 Bluetooth with me and has a perfect balance between ANC and call quality on my everyday heavy use. Spot on!! Thanks guys once again!
Cheers Anil - enjoy the new addition 😉
how is the call quality so far? (on meeting(zoom, teams, etc)/phones etc)
VERY underrated channel. GREAT video guys, very positive vibes. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing. I have always been curious about the Jabra brand and may have to look at these or another Elite model.
They are both great, what pushes me towards Jabra is my experience with them being durable, reliable and long lasting.
I've just upgraded from Jabra Elite Sport (V2, 2018) to Jabra Elite 10, fantastic sounding earbuds, it's like night and day compared to the old ones. IMO the AAC codec is good enough. These buds are just so comfortable and light too, it's like you're not wearing anything!
Great review, you doing well - keep it likd that please. Thanks for all your hard work ❤
DHRME -> Dancing horses rarely makes electronics. Thanks for a great review!
Impressive job Jabra did. Didn’t see that coming. But for the market, great they did. Again great and clear review and makes it easier to choose great earbuds 👍
Dank!
Great video…! Thank you guys so much!
Thanks for the review, I bought the elite 8 active and I love them, great for running, great sound and mega resistant with great fit, so overall a great choice
Thanks Dudes Hearing Real Mad Earbuds. Love my Jabra Elite 85ts. How do the elite 10’s compare to the oppo enco x2s or T-AZ80s?
Great review! Thank you!
@DHRME Amazing review! Great job! Would have loved to hear your opinion on the Audiobook use-case. I listen to audiobooks all the time walking the dogs and commuting and sometimes it’s hard getting a good audiobook sound even if the music experience is great!
THIS! I agree so much! The S-es especially kill me! The Jabra is fine, but Sony works better for that use case!
Aaarrgh! You can’t say that now when you’ve convinced me to get the Jabra! 😉
Great comparison test. Very objective!, very detailed, just fantastic, thank you!
Thank you very much!
thanks guys, for this useful review
Vakman! 😂 love it! What earbuds would you recommend for exercise? Also can you tell me what type of cameras do you use for filming, such great quality!
Excellent review. How does the sound quality of Jabra compare to Enco X2? Thank you
Hi guys, loved your last two videos. Really enjoyed. 🎉
You guys are freaking awesome! This is a fantastic review. Keep it up!
Thanks Jeff! Cheers!
Thank you for this review. I'm looking at those Jabra's soon.
Has the overall EQ characteristics of the Jabra changed drastically compared to the predecessors Elite 7 Pro? I have the Sony XM4s and there's something in their EQ or frequency response that I don't like in the lower mids. I listen to lots of rock and metal and it makes everything just muffled and muddy. I wasn't able to fix this with EQ tweaks. Then I bought the Jabras and a loved them. Now I need to know, if it's worth upgrading for me ... thanks in advance.
Hi! Thanks for the video. It helped me a lot in deciding between the two earbuds. I ended up buying them both from Amazon US to test them directly. I ended up sticking with the Jabra and returned the Sony. The XM5 has the better sound of the two, but with the Jabra not too far behind and with more extra features to show off - like better Bluetooth, the ability to move from a paired device to another in a more seamless way, and a significantly better call experience, the Elite 10 are a better package for my use case (plus, I have other good headphones for when I want to play the "audiophile game.") Anyway, your review was illuminating and truly helpful. Thanks for helping me find my new daily driver. Keep up the good work!
8:02 the sony wf-1000xm4s went the way of the jabras, where you can hold the touch sensors for 5-7 seconds to get the earbuds into pairing mode. I'm used to it
Hello, thanks for the reviews 😀 I wonder if all jabra in-ear have same chargers. If i have a old in-ears and can buy another modell and then juse same case? /h
Does the Alexa assistant integration work well enough? Had problem with it on past Jabra headsets? TY.
Have you guys tested the Jabra headphones.
I've wanted the Sony top tier over the ear headphones for a long time, however after having the Sony WF XM4 ear buds and the Jabra Elite 3 and 4, I preferred the Jabra for bass, comfort and button.
I went with XM5s due to them having the voice detect and the voice filtering that the Jabras lacked. I also I previously had the Sony Link Buds S, so I was just use the Sony's app and sound stage, I love the Excited EQ setting. XMTs foam ear tips were a different feel, but after a day I got use them and the earbuds feel very comfortable.
How did you enable the Dolby on the jabra app? I can’t seem to find it anymore when I first paired it to my iPhone.
Hey!
I've just bought these bad boys a week back & since then I'm testing these rigorously.
I pick these just because of there call quality & being the best arounder right now.
The only concern that I've is battery timings.
When I've tested these they gave me.
Calling:
Around ~5 hours on call (not a continuous call for 5 hours, its like like ~2.5-3 hours on call, rest on music or simple anc or hear through mode without music).
Music:
On music on/off (with anc/hear trough) I'm getting 7 hours+ timing on single charge (which is very good)!
So are these a good results according to your testing or should I go for a replacement.
i wasn't expecting such a great video, amazing work!
Glad you liked it!
"Hello! I have a question. I'm interested in getting the Jabra 10 and Black Friday is coming up soon. Does Jabra usually discount their latest models during these dates or only older models? Thanks for your time."
Recently got a Jabra Elite 10 from my office and they sound amazing. It's very comforting on my ears. Enjoying it so far. ❤ I also received a Sony XM4's (headphone) from my office for regular use, but honestly I enjoy wearing Jabra more.
Not even gonna stunt. This dudes beard is on point. Forget the the headphone review lol
You had me at "Jabras are louder". I have some hearing loss & find my current XM4's anemic in both volume & bass. Heck, i prefer the sound of my Soundcore A20i buds over my XM4's.
Thanks for the video, guys! I am curious to know if both the 10 & 8 Jabras are similar in volume to the Jabra Elite 7 Actives?
I hope the sound quality of the jabra’s is similar to the liberty 3 pro!
how much do you hear of the wind yourself on each of these earbuds? i cycle a lot and hate hearing wind through my earphones
Please review the WM5 call quality using the latest 3.2.1 firmware. I noticed a very clear improvement. In my tests, it is now one of the best for calls in noisy places.
Hi! Loved the video! I have a question regarding earpieces: do they work independently? I can only use one earpiece and I'm worried that not all functions and settings will work with only one on 😢
Thanks! They should work with just one bud in. There might be some limitations for the features.
When it comes to earbuds headphones reviews, you guys the ones I trusted.
I have the sony wf-1000xm3's. Replaced the varta cp1254 batteries with the zenipower z55h batteries (bigger capacity for longer endurance) a few months ago. Returned the sony wf-1000xm4's after 2 and a half years of ownership due to battery drain issues.
TLDR: should I go for the jabra elite 10's, or keep using my sony wf-1000xm3's?
Hi guys. How do the jabra elite 10's compare to the Technics eah-az80 or oppo enco x2?? Greetings from Poland 👊🇵🇱
Has the Jabra Elite 10 improved at all in the past 3 months in terms of call quality while biking in the wind? (via firmware updates)
Thanks
i seen pretty mix review for this on the microphone on sync, on phone vs pc/mac with syncing issues. i wonder if buyers here for the jabra elite 10 faced the same?
Great review as always.
I'm using android and iOS phones, and apple music on both (sound so much better than Spotify!). My android phone has LDAC and aptx adaptive. So, I'm wondering how much difference there is with LDAC and Sony Vs the jabra elite 10 when playing hires lossless music? Dolby Atmos is fine for watching films but I can live without it.
I think you mentioned a transparency slider for the Sony? My ears pricked up at that as that is something I'd find very useful in office settings, where different levels of transparency are very handy for me (an alert for keywords could be handy at times!).
I haven't used Alexa voice for ages. However, when I'm away for several days with access to a charger I use an Amazfit watch which gives me 11 days without a charge. That uses Alexa so I might give it a go (just need a phone that lasts that long without a charge). For day to day use I use an Apple watch, usually alongside my Android phone, and Siri wins hands down vs Google for voice recognition for me, and the ability to do something useful!
DHRME - Please help me make a decision. I just want the best sounding earbuds. Please suggest which one to go for - EX or AZ80 ?
LOL 12:20 "the only fix is don't use the buds while on a bike when there's wind" - yet by cycling you create wind - so yeah... I don't agree though that you aren't aware of your surroundings - why not just use one bud, and keep one ear "open"? Where I cycle (this is big aspect of my purchase) I know my surroundings well enough to predict where any issue may arise, and take precautions accordingly ... luckily, the biggest potential threat would be cows or tractors -- and those you can either smell, or see from a distance... thanks for the vid! Should be in my ears next Tuesday!
DHRME: Dismantling High Res Musical Equipment
It was the best review ever, thanks a lot guys !
This is, as usual, a good review. The only good review at this time. Others are just parroting Jabra marketing.
Im stuck between the elite 10 vs elite 8 active.
At work I use a single bud at a retail counter, and I want to know if there is a difference in "hearthrough" between the 8 and 10.
Hi - Samsung wf-1000xm5 v/s jabra elite 10, which one do you suggest in terms of Sound quality and noise cancelling ?And price is not a constraint for me!
My experience is: purchased Sony twice, returned twice for others like the Tozo Golden (has better sound to me but with connectivity issues) just got the Jabra and so far I like them better than the Sony XM5. Fit better, Sound Better (more Bass response but not over done) I do find the ANC isn't as good as the Sony but that isn't as important to me.
Over all, I like the Jabra over the Sony
You guys do an amazing job on your reviews 😊
I can't wait to hear the part on the microphone test.
I've pre-ordered jabra 10. I get buds pro 1 gen vibes by the look. I hope they don't fall out like they did
Curious if others have had such a positive experience with Jabra battery life as I have. I purchased some 75t Actives in 2020 and the battery seems to last great. 3 years, it charges to 100% (case and buds), I can leave it in the drawer for a month, pop it out and it's 100%, go use them for an hour or two and the battery is hardly drained.
I have had both the Sony xm4 and linkbuds s and both of them have had one earbud start to fail to hold a charge. One bud will just drop to 0% in ~ an hour of use. If you leave the case for a day or two, the charge starts to drop.
While I have been really happy with the Sony's, they do feel like they are build to be disposed of after ~1 year. Whereas the Jabra seem like they are built to last for years.
Does anyone know if Jabra will be releasing a Pro version of the 8?
On which one can we use just a single bud at a time for phone calls?
Nice video guys, are you checking out the new version of your favorite earbuds, neobuds pro 2 are out🎉
Hello bro,l hope you can answer my question. just bought the Jabras elite 10s for 199€ in Spain. I wanted them for listening music with a high sound quality, what do you think is better among jabra elite 10s,freebuds 3 pro, xm4 o pixel bud pro? Thanks you
I am using the Sony M5 for a few weeks, and I like its really small case which is easy to carry.
But for its transparency mode and ANC mode, I am bit disappointed.
May i ask if the jabra elite 10 or the xm5 has wider soundstage? I tested both and the xm5 seems alot closer. Jabra seems wider
Wait a minute! Isn't Dolby Atmos included with Samsung phones as well? Did you try using Jabra's Dolby Atmos on your Z Fold?
Love your reviews! Have u checked the Denon Perl pro (previously nura true pro)
Hey Yiannis, not yet!
❤❤❤ You guys are one of the only people who talk about and compare transparency mode thank you!
❤️
can you guys do an updated pixel buds pro review please
or a video comparing the pixel 7a (or 6a if that's what y'all have) and the Samsung a54
Hi, is it possible to let 2 people to wear 1 side earbud at the same time? My jabra 75t active always mute when I share 1 earbud with the another firends as it "detect" the distance is too far.
Hello guys when will you compare jabra elite 10 to airpods pro 2 or bose qc 2??
i got the jabra elite 10 and it's worth the money. great for noise cancellation and solid music play. it's surprisingly light and comfortable
Jabra has so many buds 3 through 10, pros and actives. They have huge differences in price. 3s are going for $50 USD and the 10s $250 USD. Is the difference between them that big? Are the 8 active and 10 that much better than the 3 and 4 active?
Have you ever tried az60 technics but the new version? M2? I wonder if they are better than these ones.
DHRME: Dudes Having Really Mystical Ears
For hip hop and r&b which earphones would you recommend
@@highfived Sony for pure sound quality
I lost my Elite 10 some days ago (wash car stand)... and I was really happy Im thinking to buy the Gen 2 but its too expensive in Mexico, I check you videos and you also check AZ80, Why I think in AZ80, the triple Multipoint... due to my work would be a plus, I have Personal phone, work phone and my work Laptop. What do you think Buy Again the Elite 10(good price) or gen 2 (The price is High) or going for AZ80? what do you recomend?
Trust me the elite 10 for work uff!!! are amazing, calls, Teams and the really work, for listening music from Phone and Teams in Computer and the sound you surely dont need more... maybe the triple point connection do perfect this buds.
thanks your work its amazing!!!
Can you compare jabra elite 10 with apple aipods pro2 and bose quiet comfort 2
Starting to feel like you'd need an S+ tier for ANC when everything gets so good ;) ( Is Elite 10 better than airpods pro 2 and Bose QC 2 comfort and ANC wise ?
EDIT: From Elite 8 active video: ANC: Bose QC2 > airpods pro 2 > Elite 10
I've been in analysis paralysis forever and this video convinced me to get the Jabra Elite 10
Enjoy!
I wonder thou if I have a smartphone and want to listen music on it via wireless connection. What is the best deal here? q45? q35? mb something like edifier wh950nb?
So based on your comments on sound. It shows how important tuning is over codecs. High resolution just doesn't matter
And components and drivers and signal chain and tuning, yes!
I tried sony and it often happens that when I move away from second device, it disconnects and does not want to connect automatically. Next one problem, before I take out the second earpiece with difficulty, only one connects to me, the other one works transparently. Jabra is definetly better for me .
Can anyone comment on the perceived durability of the silicone outer and physical button? I'm concerned physical button may jam or fail over time. As well, the silicone will wear out.
Hi Guys. I really y enjoy most of your reviews. Did you ever compare the Sony's Ldac mode to the sbc one? The reason I'm asking, because I had the Jabra 7Active, and the Sony wf1000xm4, and the wf1000xm5. All I can say, the Ldac makes a big difference, sound quality wise, in every possible ways. Did you ever tested the Ldac against sbc, and you did not hear the difference, or you just simple ignored it? Cheers, Tibor
Tibor, that was a great point. I have tested previous iterations of Jabra. They were always great for phone calls, not for listening to music. Sonys xm4 and xm5 (that I own) were always great for music with ldac codec enabled and hirez source of music (i.e. flac files). Now with xm5 call quality is actually much better. In the future with updates jabra may become the sound king, but... I will NEVER base my purchases on future promises and maybes... As of now the only close competitor of XM5 is Technics AZ 80.
@mithrandir4146 I very much hope that, Sony will make some serious adjustments, with their next firmware update. As you've pointed out, there are some flows, need to be fixed.
Anyway, why do I have three pairs Ldac capable earbuds now, if we can't buy Ldac kind of transmitters? Sony should make them. Any idea, why they not interested in that?
They refuse to implement aptx, which is widely used by other companies, yet they make us rely on our android phones.
You may raise the question.
I tried the Fiio bta30pro, but I hated it. Despite the fact, the sound was ok, the rest was forgettable. I know it received great reviews, but it is a disaster, when it comes to transmission. The app disconnects in transmission mode. You have to re pair every headsets, if you want to swap them. So the market is missing, a good quality Ldac Bluetooth transmitter.
Keep up the good work. Cheers Guys.
@@tiborbozso1033 Well, I am not on the board of SONY, but if I had to make an educated guess, exclusion of Aptx codec has a lot to do with the bottom line, i.e. profit. APTX requires presence of Qualcomm microchip in the device, while LDAC codec is already implemented in all the sony devices. Within sony ecosystem everything works seamlessly. I have used xm4 and xm5 5with my sony music player nw a55 and also tried it with sony experia phone - the sound of music was truly magnificent! The same could be expected with apple earbuds and apple devices, Samsung phones and Samsung earbuds. Every company wants you to use only their products, or products of the company they have a contract with.- Sony has agreements with Android companies and Apple wants to be exclusive with Apple products.
In the end hardware is only a part of the equation. You must have a hi fidelity , lossless music source from flac files or from streaming sevices to truly appreciate the instrument separation and wide Soundstage. Regardless of wireless earbuds you have none of them will come close to majestic sound of Shure se535 or 846 wired in ear monitors. Wireless technology is not there yet. In the end you have to decide what fits into your lifestyle. Since I am a frequent commuter, have a sony music player and an audiophile, Sony checks a lot of boxes for me. For others it might be Technics, Jabra or Bose, Apple or Sennhiser... I hope you find yours. I have tested a few different brands. XM5 seems to be more user friendly and does not require your personal data and registration for the product to use the device. I really hope you find yours. I wish you luck in that quest.
I enjoy both but I lean more XM5 especially for music. I gotta say neither app is hard for me & I'm vision impaired 😆. They're both my EDC I use the Cocoa E10 at work tho bc they are a lil more discreet. It may be bc I use android but music just sounds better on XM5 & that's before I use 360 audio or DSEE
Fair assessment, this is what we meant by the XM5 being more versatile.
Jabra 85t has been super rock solid over several years. Bought several for family and they've also had zero issues. Don't get the hate
I’m looking to move on from my newly purchased Status Between 3ANC. Uncomfortable for me and not impressed with the ANC. I’ve landed on Jabra elite 10 and Technics az80. Phone quality isn’t as important to me, but comfort and music is important to me on construction job site. Wondering if you lean one way between these 2.
Which ones do you like out of them 2 i like high volume and yeah jsut like you music is very important to me
I'm still undecided which to get for overall call quality. I'm commuting offen and I also travel often. So call quality in noisy environments is very important for me. What would you recommend? I'm lookig for the overall best earbuds for sound, ANC & call quality with call quality being my first priority I would say. Could you please recommend me an earbud with above mentioned criteria? Thank you in advance.
If you are using iphone just go for airpad pro 2
I had a Sony headphone and I used the Sony app to turn on spatial audio. Maybe you gotta do that too for the XM5, setting is in app not in Bluetooth setting.
The sony WF-1000 XM5's noise cancelling is HUGELY dependent upon seal, but even with a good seal I still think the ANC is underwhelming for the money. I find I have to have my music at a fairly loud level to drown out sufficient outside noise, where as my WH-1000 XM4 over ears provide better ANC at around 20-30 % lower volume.
You guys r amazing, you're work is exelent
Thank you so much 😀
The fact that the Jabra buds performed so well with their microphones is amazing. Because with a IP57 rating they shouldn't waterproofing microphones usually effects them in a bad way. Awesome review and comparison thank you. 💯🔥🇺🇸
Cheers Mike!
How does Jabra sound that good with just sbc and aac, and would they sound just as good on the Android with sbc codec, I own the Marshall motifs rn and there's quite a difference between how it plays on Android and Apple devices ( better on Apple ).
Hi Guys, I have the Jabra 10s and the windnoise is bad outside with Anc on, and I have the windnoise reduction switch on.
I have Technics az60 and they do a great job of reducing wind noise, also have liberty 3 pro which do a good job too..
Could U please talk about this in future reviews, windnoise outside with anc on ... thanks
The wind noise recalibrates itself after a few seconds. We actually talked about this at length. Either in this video or the Jabra Elite 8 Active video.
I am looking for earbuds for work. I am a MacBook and iPhone user. Do either (or any) earbuds switch between devices automatically based on device used for outbound call or incoming call?
Yes
Would you say the jabras at $200 beats the status between 3 ancs at $200?
I have now been using the Jabra Elite 10 for a fortnight and I was extremely satisfied. However, more and more people have pointed out to me in phone calls (Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra) that they hear an annoying echo and their own voice twice. I have tried to fix the problem without success. Has anyone had similar experiences?
Im not planning in buying a new pair of earbuds. However, I do enjoy to watch your well made video reviews. I have never owned any Sony type of earbuds or headphones as I have been a loyal Bose customer for decades. Greetings to you guys!
Cheers Cesar!
I have the Jabra Elite Active 75t and really like them, so are the Jabra 10 worth upgrading to or would I be paying a lot for not a lot in return?
I have the same question
i have too.. ✋ Need answer
I made that upgrade and yes J10 has new features and new advantages (like to use only one bud, left or right, ANC, open design...) price is expensive as it's the last product of the brand so yes right now it's overpriced... You choose.
gosh, that beard! 😍 great review, thanks guys 🥸
Wow impressive stuff from Jabra! Surprised the anc was in the same tier let alone slightly better
It's still a matter of opinion. A lot of videos say the Sony's ar better for ANC
Jabra battery life estimation is with ANC on. With it off, it lasts a long time. My Elite 7 Pro's are the same. But I will probably upgrade :D
