good sound, excellent phone call audio quality, decent battery life, stable in-ear for running/jogging

I ordered some back on the 15th, and they've been stuck in customs since the 17th. FFS.

Anyone any experience with the Jabra Elite range compared to Samsung and Sonys best?

I have a pair of these atm https://www.amazon.co.uk/UMI-Bluetooth-headphones-earphones-intelligent-GREY/dp/B07N428SG9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=6DWFM1R7WIYA&dchild=1&keywords=umi+earbuds&qid=1622274992&sprefix=umi+%2Caps%2C254&sr=8-3

To be honest there actually fairly decent especially considering the price but they tend to have issues with one bud dying this is my 3rd pair! The only reason I've stuck with them is because they replace them for free so feck it.

Anyway I looked into getting a more premium pair before but the money and range put me off there where so many types and so many conflicting reviews I gave up.

I have a Samsung phone so buying Samsung buds seemed like a good fit but they where getting mixed reviews. Sony seemed to be top of every list but they look huge!

Than there's Jabra which I am seeing mentioned an awful lot now. What are the main differences other than price in the elite 65t 75t and 85t?

Is it worth spending the extra for the newest model? I've seen the 85ts for 150 euro which seems in around the standard price for most buds.

75t active are waterproof which is handy when you want to wash them after sweaty activity... I have those

How much do they stick out from your ear? What's the sound like bass etc?

Cheers!

very low profile and bass is great. If you don't need wateproofing the standard 75t is supposed to sound even better

There selling the 85t on adverts for same price as 75t 150. Seems brand new sealed box as well.

Be careful of the fake ones. There's quite a few fake 75t and 85t floating around.

Actually I ended up with a fake 75t luckily the seller was decent enough to return the money. He wasn't aware that he was selling a fake.

If there's a shop etc or any user with good feedback selling then it will be fine.

This was a big thing for me, wanted buds that didn't stick out at all, tried the Samsung buds live knock offs to see how they were and were a perfect fit, so shopped around for the genuine ones. They're brilliant

Good stuff very tempted to pick these up next week so reviews seem very good no reason to pay same price for older model I guess.

Hopefully there's a big difference in the overall package going from the ones I already have.

They are reviewed very well. I had 65T which I thought was very good. Now with two generation advancement 85T will be quite good.

You can also get the Galaxy Bud Pros and WF-1000XM3s for around the same price as them on some of the European Amazons

Yep im actually starting to consider the Galaxy buds pro now instead they seem to offer more of what im looking for especially having a Samsung phone.

They seem smaller and look bit more tidy in the ear as well.

Suckit · 30-05-2021 6:58pm

These are getting great reviews and ship from Poland. Tronsmart Apollo Air with active noise canceling and aptX. Their previous Apollo Bold also get great reviews everywhere and are pretty well known, these are smaller and neater than those, but the quality is apparently just as good. I didn't get the Bold because they looked pretty big, and I had bought a fair few too at that stage, but think I will be taking a punt on these.

I picked up the 65t in Hardly Normal for just under €50 based on a recommendation on here.
They are excellent value for money, the fit is great, they sit and seal nicely in the ear canal and are fairly low profile.

Went with the Galaxy Buds Pro, in the end, got them for 139. Happy so far comfortable nice fit doesn't stick out much sound very good from what I've heard. The only issue but nothing huge is the material they're made from the fact it's going into your ear and warming up there gonna need cleaning a lot.

Thanks to those who linked and vouched for the Vankyo x400s. Arrived today and I’m hugely impressed.

By far the best budget wireless earbuds I’ve ever used and I’ve used many.

Call quality from this set is stellar which is something most cheaper earbuds don’t offer.

Got to say the same. They were a spur-of-the-moment purchase for me and now I'm using them all the time.

they have cvc 8.0 to focus on the callers voice and dual microphones. i have them and am fairly happy though i haven't tested out calling with them that much. They feel like a premium product
