Jabra Elite 65T True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Charging Case and One Touch Amazon Alexa (Titanium Black)

I was largely divided between the Apple Airpods and the Jabra Elite 65T and after a lot of research and consideration, I finally went for the Elite 65T. I am sure most of the users are faced with the same conundrum as these 2 devices are very closely priced and hence my review will basically be as to why I felt the Elite 65T is better than the Airpods.Elite 65T over Airpods1. It has a superior sound over the Airpods (I tested this) with much better bass due to its in ear design and the sound clarity is also very good. You also get an equaliser in the Jabra mobile app that further allows you to tweak the sound as per your liking.2. Airpods do not have any noise cancellation at all and this pair offers very good noise cancellation (passive, not digital). There is also an option to allow in external noise and the extent of it and so there are options from both the worlds - to get lost in the music or to stay connected with your surroundings.3. The design is MUCH BETTER than the airpods and looks much more professional. It blends very well and is highly inconspicuous.4. Like the airpods, it connects as soon as it is taken out of the case and will work more flawlessly if your phone has the latest bluetooth 5.0 as the Elite 65T also has bluetooth 5.05. Fit is something that differs for different people but my ears are on the smaller end and they fit my ears perfectly, so the fit won't be a problem for most of the people. There is a technique to be followed to get the perfect fit as mentioned in the given manual and when followed, they will fit everyone's ears perfectly.6. One of the good things about the airpods is that after a certain point you forget that they are in your ears and that very advantage turns out to be a major disadvantage - prone to getting lost. If one comes off your ear you won't realise it.With the Elite 65T, it is impossible for it to fall off as it's in ear and even if it manages to fall off magically, you will realise it immediately.7. You can control the volume through the earbuds and access any digital assistant you want using the 65T. You cannot do any of those with the Airpods.8. Earphones/headphones with passive or digital noise cancellation is safer for the ears compared with the open ear earphones as with the former, one tends to listen music at a lower level as outside noise is blocked to a large extent.Airpods over Jabra Elite 65T1. Airpods have a lighter and smaller case than the 65T and that makes it a bit easier to carry around in pockets.2. If you are in the Apple ecosystem (have an iPhone, iPad or a Mac), the airpods will offer better convenience over the Elite 65T in terms of connectivity across each and all the Apple devices that you own.3. Call quality might be slightly better with the airpods (I did not test this) as with the 4 microphone technology of the Elite 65T, it tends to pickup every other noise along with your voice when you are on a call. So if you're in a noisy environment Airpods should offer a better service when on a call. Otherwise the Elite 65T has excellent call quality and the voice sounds very natural.ConclusionSo unless one has a problem with using in ear earphones and will use it mainly for calls, the Jabra Elite 65T offers much more than the Airpods at almost the same price.

Probably the best wireless earbuds you can buy. I was initially considering the Jabra Elite Sport, but then since I wear a fitbit, the tracking features were unnecessary for me.Here are the pros and cons with my usage of about 90 days, and about 2 hours a day :Pros:-Super fast pairing-Good sound signature (you can also tweak it via the app)-Very snug fit (doesnt even move while running or jumping)-Great voice quality while on calls-The hearthrough function gives you Superman like hearing-The buttons are easy to press and your ears don't hurt when you do that-Charging case is very satisfactory, battery life is awesome...if you use it like me for a couple of hours a day, you won't have to charge the case for a week- Auto pause is great- Bluetooth 5.0 meant my connection never ever dropped while listening to musicCons-Not that great to use while watching videos...I've felt a slight lag.-After an hour or so, they feel a little too snug, you feel like removing an earbud and giving your ear some fresh airthey come only with silicon tips, not foam tips-I would be wary of using them in heavy rain as they arent IP68Overall the cons are insignificant. I'm very happy and would recommend you get them. I pair them with a Pixel 2XL.

This is more of a comparison with AirPods (which I personally prefer over these.)If you are a fan of sealed in-ear headphones then these are probably the best true wireless headsets you can buy.The sound quality is great, the in-call audio quality is excellent on both the ends.The BT connection is fairly stable and leaves nothing to complain about.However I personally prefer the more comfortable fit offered by the AirPods and these (like other IEMs) make my ear hurt after wearing them for some time.Also, it is a little fiddly to pull these out quickly from the carrycase and plug them in your ears quickly before an incoming call drops (which is not the case with the AirPods that have better ergonomics)Last, but not the least - receiving an incoming call (if these aren't already in your ears) can be a bit of a hit & miss - calls get routed to them (when you put them in) at times but sometimes require you to route the call manually to these.

PL make sure you are using a source device which is bluetooth v5 , then this Jabra unit is worth every penny, comnnectivity will be stable . Audio is great, the sound + AP provides you with option to increase bass and other frequencies. You fvyiur source Dev cebis Bluetooth v4 and below you will have frequent connectivity issues. Call quality is good, the other person will hear you clear. The ambience voice input is not of much use as you will not be able to hear clearly even though you increase it in the setting, but the feature is there. One star less for connectivity issues on Bluetooth v 4 and below. Hi res audio tracks are great to hear. I paired it with one plus 6 , one plus 5 and results were great. But with Galaxy note 5 , oppo f7, lg v20, mimax, Lenovo z2 plus I favlced very frequent connectivity break up issues and had to keep re-pairing frequently.
