I had a pair of Joybird and lasted a long time, but they dies and had to get a new one. All the reciews here were saying they are amazing and online reviews were good. The underlining issue is the sound on the left or right are louder so there is a balance issue. I thought it must of been me, until I actually went onto reddit and thousands have the same issue. So if you buy, open in store, listen to them, then place into the charging pack for about 10 mins then take out and try again, if it doesnt work then you can just exchange in store. Otherwise you'll be making multiple trips. Im about to head back to get my first replacement, after 3 hours after me buying a first pair.

The Jabra Elite Active 65t are great for sports and fitness. They're compact, sturdily-built, and let your ears breathe freely. They do a good job of staying in your ears too, though they aren't quite as stable as some in-ears with an ear hook design.

Sturdy, IP56-rated build., Breathable, stable fit., Compact, lightweight design.

Not as comfortable for all users.

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

Surpassed my expectations in battery life, sound, ear seal and fit. Case was a bit hard to open but worked a trick that opens it every time. Looked great and the water/sweat resistance made it great for holidays and dips in the pool (not submerged of course). Hear through was great. Never got a drop out - these were the most reliable wireless earphones I'd ever owned. I lost mine so pretty bummed. Only gripe I had was that call quality was not the best. I had people frequently complaining they couldn't hear me. When I bought them I did so because of the 4 microphones feature and the hope they would do a better job than other earphones I've owned.

I've been using the earbuds for a few weeks now during my morning runs. They were easy to set up and I haven't had any issues with the buds falling out yet. Great connectivity to my iPhone 8. The bud case recharges that buds in between uses and has a small light to indicate when the case needs recharging which is super convenient. I've used the buds to take calls with a good level of sound quality (transmitting and receiving) and the voice mode is useful to accept/reject calls while running without having to stop and get out your phone. I've used the touch-button function to activate use the Apple 'hey siri' function which works well enough also.

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.

The Jabra Active Elite 65t truly wireless earphones are the best alternative to Apple's AirPods, but the stepdown non-Elite model will save you a bit of cash.

The Jabra Active Elite 65t are fully sweat-resistant truly wireless earphones that fit comfortably and securely. They sound excellent, perform reliably and are great for making calls, with two microphones in each earpiece.

The relatively tight, noise-isolating fit isn't for everyone. Motion sensor doesn't have much use at this point.
