Jabra Elite 65t Wireless earbuds €99

Davy

I know these were mentioned a few weeks ago, but now that Harvey Norman stores are open again thought they were worth a mention.
I cant find them cheaper anywhere else then Harvey Norman :eek:

They are around awhile now so the battery life isn't on par with the most current ear buds but they stand up in other specs.

Buy online or instore €99 - stock in all stores at time of posting.

• Secure fitting earbuds with three different size ear gels included for custom comfort
• Take work calls from home. Incredible 4-microphone technology offers best-in-class call performance, with all-day battery for maximum productivity even when you’re working from home on your smartphone
• Third generation true wireless; remember to update your firmware in the Jabra Sound+ app to experience the high sound quality
• AutoPause your sound when removing one earbud and AutoPower off to save your battery
• 5 hours of battery on a single charge and 15 hours with charging case

Anjunadeep man. Listened to some tinlicker sets there over the past few weeks of lockdown and it's kept me going.

Yeah all couriers are up the walls in fairness so I wouldn't let that put me off.
I posted this as the stores are open again if you are close to one.

Good price,and decent review on Amazon

I bought these when they came out two years ago.

At the time I think they were the best. They fit snuggly, the case is handy once you get used to opening it with the ends. The buds sit in tip first which is annoying because the case can get kinda ear waxy quickly if you're not wiping them down every time you put them in.

I had one issue with a bud and Jabra replaced it basically no questions asked.

Jabra's customer service is second to none in my experience.

Good to hear, wished this was last week just bought similar for my smallie for e 129

I bought these 2 months ago:

Pros
Great microphones for calls
Good connection for music/calls

Cons
Very average sound quality for music
The size of them leaves my ears hurting
Wax buildup in the charging case

Overall the only benefit they have over my €30 Xiaomi Airdots are the microphone quality. Music sounds better on the cheaper ones and they are far more comfortable.

The creative outliers might be a better option. They get good reviews. They are regularly on sale

Fantastic earbud, use these for listening to music and at work for calls. Tried cheaper but these are awesome . Good app which you can change your settings on . Great microphone, great product.

3 cons
Micro Usb - a pain when compared to usb c

As someone alluded to opening the case . Its a pain unless you go from the sides.

The 75t. Its newer, would you regret getting the 65t when you know theres a 75t, ( havent tried the 75t) just speculating

Hey, as you have these, perhaps you could tell me - are there 2 mics in each ear piece? I prefer to use a single ear piece in my left ear for calls as work, but if all 4 mics are in the right ear piece, then obviously this wouldn't work for me.

Thanks.

You can’t use the left earbud only because the left connects to the right and the right connects to the phone/device. This is the case for many earbuds unfortunately.

Can't see why you can't use use one bud. You have to make sure they're both out of the case, though.

Fairly sure I read these auto cut off when you remove them from the ear, so if the right one is not in the ear it may be an issue, plus I still haven't been able to determine if there are any mics on the left earpiece (which obviously would be a dealbreaker).

Two things I found online:

If you remove one of the earbuds while you are listening to music, the music will automatically pause. To resume the music, place the earbud back in your ear within 60 seconds. To resume mono playback in the right earbud, press the Multi-function button.

Hello Joe - Both the left and right earbuds of the Jabra Elite Active 65t have microphones, so both will be used during calls to pick up your voice. Only the right earbud can be used independently, either for calls or music.

So I guess you can't use them how you want, with only the left.

Both earbuds have 2 mics I believe. They “beam-form” similarly to Apple AirPods and others to give much better audio that they should for being so far away from your mouth.

The trick is to press on the little tab, push in then up.

Yep you just squeeze the little raised line on the lid and push open.

I got them as a present when they came out. Still use them regularly. Battery life is excellent. Good for running.

They get a bit dirty, so does the case and only the right ear works on it's own. Signal can get funny when on the Luas near driver.

Apart from that they come highly recommended.

I always wondered if this was just my pair!

I look like a psycho when I am on a near-empty luas and I keep moving seats to get better earbud reception.

Azatadine

Bought a pair myself and I use them a lot for calls. The hearthrough facilitity is great and so is the microphone.

Only issue I have is that they do hurt my ears after a while but maybe all ear buds do. I bought Comply foam tips but they hurt too. All of them seem to come loose if I talk a lot.

Certainly not an isolated case. The pain in my ears was so bad that I sent them back to Amazon for a full refund. I stoped wasting my time and just got AirPods.

Azatadine

I might try Comply small foam tips as a last resort but after that I think I'll throw the towel in too if they don't work. I'm surprised there's not more noise about them being uncomfortable. I wouldn't have bought them if I'd known that cos they are not cheap....

maybe that's because they are not uncomfortable for most? have them for 2 years or so now, wear them maninly for running, up to a couple of hours, so lots of bouncing around, have also used them for hours on flights and no issues either.


everyones ears are different,so while they might not fit you that doesn't mean they are neccesarily an uncomfortable earphone. every make will be uncomfortable in somones ears.

I had the B&W wired in-ears, and loved them, the most comfortable in-ears i have tried. they released the new version, which looked identical, and i couldn't wear them for more than 10 minutes.

really is hit and miss with in-ears

Azatadine

I took a punt on the Comply foam small tips. They are a big improvement on the silicon tips provided (for my ears anyway). Pretty happy with them actually.

The small Comply are more like the medium silicon size that came with the ear buds in size.

a real pain in the swiss roll. you have to look for "true wireless" and that will allow you to get left and right buds separately.

Azatadine

I think the issue with the Jabra 65t for me is that they don't go deep enough into the ear. Its not a problem when listening to podcasts or music but can be an issue if on conference calls that last an hour or two. Plenty of jaw movement from talking or laughing seems to knock them out or loosen them.
