Great-sounding wireless buds, for in and out of the gym, but a few usability niggles keep them from being perfect

Outstanding connection; Impressively detailed audio; Snug fit; Completely sweat-proof

Accelerometers can play up; Alexa integration could be better; Quite large; Can become uncomfortable after extended use

The Jabra Elite Active 65T wireless earbuds are great value buds, especially if you're looking to use them for fitness and workouts.

Can resist jets of water; Protected against dust; Excellent noise-cancelling

Plasticky build; Not the best sound

If you’re the sort of devoted fitness buff that would give The Rock a run for his mountainous piles of money, you’re perhaps better off opting for the more tech-heavy Elite Sport. For everyone else, though, I’d fully recommend the Elite Active 65t. They're the best running earbuds I’ve come across, both in terms of build and sound quality. And the latter has me really deliberating over whether these buds could replace my beloved AirPods on the daily commute. If it wasn’t for the fact that they do dig in a bit after a while, it wouldn’t be up for debate. Bells and whistles like Alexa compatibility are great, even if they are a bit half-baked, and I like that the app lets me quickly jump between different audio modes and settings. They’re not flawless, but if you’re in the market for some truly wireless in-ear headphones that tick nearly all of the boxes, you'll be hard pushed to find better for the price.

After the largely-iterative update delivered by their second-gen Elite Sport earbuds, Jabra have now expanded their true wireless portfolio again with the Elite 65t earbuds.

Though a few caveats apply, this is almost everything we wanted out of the second-gen Elite Sport earbuds and a solid product that cements Jabra’s reputation on the frontlines of the true wireless arms race.

Great sound; Great microphone;

Poor isolation; Weak software;

Though the Jabra Elite 65t have their faults, they go toe-to-toe with the Airpods and are better than them in a few important aspects like playback controls built-in to the earbuds and great battery life.

Great battery life; Auto-connects to your phone; IP55; OK connection strength; Playback controls built-in; Microphone quality

Sound quality; Sub-par bass; Audio lag when watching videos; No high quality codecs

We already know Jabra has solid credentials in the wireless audio space and it has managed to pack all that technology into a pair of small earbuds that deliver a big sound. Each of the Elite 65t buds have been ergonomically designed to sit comfortably and securely in your ear.

Small and lightweight; secure and comfortable fit; charging case; companion app; impressive audio quality

More expensive than Apple AirPods; seal means you can hear footsteps through your head; earbuds drop out sometimes

Alongside being completely free from wires, the Jabra Elite Active 65t is also rated IP56 dust and water resistant. It also comes loaded with features and brings the promise of good audio and practicality to a segment that is still more gimmick than value-for-money.

Impressive; balanced audio performance; Good clarity; Truly wireless; IP56 rated sweat and dust resistant; The companion app is versatile

Intermittent sibilance in upper-mids; Weirdly difficult to open the case; Multi-device connectivity issues

Great design and comfort. Had an issue with the Left not charging. Solved this by closing the case lid very carefully not to move the buds. Shame there are no magnets to hold them in place in the case. The app is good with plenty of info and details. The Sound output.

The Jabra Elite 65t are true wireless earphones. All the hardware and batteries are housed in the earpieces, leaving no cables to get in the way. These earphones are a close relative of the we looked at last year, but without the heart rate-tracking tech.

Clean sound; Good battery life; More comfortable than older model

Not as rich or powerful sounding as the best; Some inter-earpiece connection issues
