CORRECTION: In the battery life section we mentioned the buds could be use one at a time to give you longer listening time but it's actually only the right bud that works on its own. Thanks to viewer, Ryan for pointing that out.

![NEW JABRA ELITE 75t Wireless Earbuds [Powerful Bass, 28hr Battery, All Day Comfort]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3v-slRAvnbo/mqdefault.jpg)
What do you look for in a pair of running headphones? Tell us what you're three top priority features are.
Would you plz compare them to Samsung Galaxy buds plus? I mean overall sound quality wise!
For Running... 1. Comfort (wearability over time) 2. Functionality (Intuitive Controls) 3. Onboard memory (It's a shame there aren't more earbuds with this feature)
1) Sound quality; don't want to hear anything else but the music
2) Fit; don't want to have to adjust them regularly
3) Those top 2 are the only significant things I look for other than style. So I guess #3 would be how they look/how much they stick out. I'm a big Bose fan in general but their wireless buds stick out like crazy which is why I'm looking elsewhere
@@karlosdelacruz3803 agreed on the first two - what's the memory feature you're referring to?
1. fit - in terms of longevity comfort, earfatigue, but also that they STAY. more of a stretch to this channel, but i'm looking for something to use for contemporary dance aswell. so loads of movement.
2. controls - offering a wide range of options (volume is a must) but also in terms of consistency (no touch). nothing's more frustrating than owning tech that doesn't do what it's supposed to do
3. call quality - really not about owning three different earphones for different purposes
bonus: battery life (with quick charge) and 😍 app support (customisation, longtime updates, ... jabra's seems like a dream)
Have the predecessor, the 65's. Damn great earpieces! Never ever fell out, great fit.
You have a really good "conversation style". Its like listening to your mates talking about tech.
Gonna subscribe :)
ET OLE YKSIN - Kanava OCD:sta Thanks very much. Glad you’re enjoying it.
Excellent review gents...in-depth, honest and you two are great to listen to! I tried the 75t's...took them back and just pre-ordered the "actives" (not available over here in Canada until mid March). I wish they'd come out with an update that automatically reads text messages when they arrive (currently only available on Apple products). Keep up the great work!
Thanks Derek. Really glad you found it useful. That message feature would be handy.
thanks for the thorough and transparent review!
they're so close to perfect, it hurts at that price point. i REALLY hope Jabra will come up with an active model to the 85t, with proper hooks/wings, back to proper IP rating and mono support.. (but keeping everything else, such as the multiple device support and the customisations, anc+transparency, ... maybe could use an improved mic to make it more usable for nonactive wear)
until then, i'm gonna have to go with a more budget friendly model your channel recommended
What a wonderful well rounded review! I am going to go out and get 75tActive.
Thanks David.
I seem to be the only person alive that wears earbuds for work instead of exercise.
Which means I get nervous about losing an expensive toy.
First time left earbud popped out doing yard work. Took me 30 minutes to find.
Second time I was bending over a hot oven, and left earbud popped out and into oven. Had to wait till range cooled to find bud, which had fallen back behind a heat shield and still worked.
So I had to replace factory Jabra ear tips with SpinFit 360 ear tips.
Left bud now stays put, and sound somehow seems clarified/cleaned up.
With that tweak, I now have the best buds for the buck, pound, or euro.
Wow. Just so the rest of us know what heat to cook our buds on, what temperature was the oven? 😂
God watches after fools and madmen.
After baking for one hour at 350 F, after range cooled, I looked in the food, then back after removing the rack, but no bud.
I looked in bottom broiler pan, but no bud.
I removed bottom drawer and no bu...wait a minute.
Waaay back in the back, behind a small heat shield that protected wiring entering back of range, I felt that darn bud.
I popped it into case, then into my ear, and it worked.
Then I researched and ordered the SpinFit 360.
So I'm at work the next day and point out my hip cool Jabras to a customer.
They replied that they were very cool looking hearing aids...
great pair of headphones - first: try to get them refurbished on ebay. I got them there for 120€ - next: these headphones stay in your ear, not only for running, but also with doing burpees. That‘s why I have them 😉 Thanks for the video.

This review is fantastic lads
Glad you like it. Thanks very much.
@@TheRunTesters I watched it last night been lucking at them for a while but couldn't find great reviews, then found yours and there coming tomorrow, keep up the good work👍🏻👊🏻
@@hawkeye7697 Cool. We hope you like them. Let us know how you get on.
Great review guys! will def buy these over the new 85t. as they are almost not water resistent...
Thanks. I (Mike) think an Active 85t will be on the scene at some point this year, but now that Jabra has added active noise cancellation to the Active 75t, it's still a really solid buy
Subscribed.Good luck with your channel.
Thanks very much.
Thanks for the video lads, I have just bought elite 75t
I was convinced to buy them after hearing your review about elite 75t
Cool. Let us know how you get on with them.
Advice needed....Looking for a running wireless as well as something I can use on phone/conference calls (reducing background noise for the person on the other end of the call). Past experience is people saying I sound like i'm in a tunnel or they can hear the cars or wind blowing. Jabra Elite Active 75T? Powerbeats Pro? Airpods Pro?or other? thanks! (love this channel!)
Hey, Mike here. So the options are ones I'd consider. I'd be inclined to say the AirPods Pro or the Active 75t. Jabra's heritage is in building kit built for conference calls/phone calls and its companion app has a bunch of settings to improve call quality/performance.
@@TheRunTesters Hi Mike! Thank you so much for your advice!! I'll check out the Jabra Active 75t's! Love your channel! Keep up the great vids! Keep on running! stay safe and take care!
Good review thanks. Hopefully they make wingtips on the next version like the Jaybird.
There are some that give you that option in the box and I think it's good to have the choice. Bit of added security doesn't hurt come race day.
Please test out their connection with Garmin watches, in particular the Fenix6.
Yes please!
I've tried to use with Garmin 645 Music, but It's impossible. So many dropouts
I use earbuds for both exercise and watching/studying. Between the Jabra active 75t and the Jaybird vista, which would be better for everyday use considering sound quality and comfort over long periods of time. Cheers
Hey Ronald, Mike here. So I'd say sound quality is superior on the Jabra and they've just rolled out active noise cancellation via a software update, which works well. The Jaybird sound quality is good as well and you have that ear hook design that ensures it's a more reliable fit than the Jabras. I don't have issues with fit on the 75t, but that's worth keeping in mind.
Nice video! Just wondering is there difference between surface textures between elite 75t and elite active 75t and does it change how securely the earbuds stay in the ear during sweaty runs or rigorous movement?
Hi William, not that we noticed. It's a very, very slight difference in texture.
@@TheRunTesters ok thanks for the info!
@@williamzheng7858 No problem at all.
I have the Elite 75t and I’m heavy. There’s background thumping sound when I run. I guess I need to run more.
is it annoying, i hvae the blue ants and they make thumping sounds and i cannot take it, dont run with them
You will get thumping in any earbuds you wear, it’s practically unavoidable no matter how much you spend.
@@mylesmw not true. I had headphones without it.
Turn ANC off.
informative, helpful, great review guys new sub from me!!
Adam Sinclair Thanks Adam.
Hey! Very nice video thanks! Just a question. The unic difference (apart of the colour) between the active and the 75t normal is just the IP57?
Hi, the IP57 vs IP55 rating is one of the main differences. The Actives also have a more grippy coating on the buds and on the charge case. Wider selection of colours too on the Actives.
@@TheRunTesters ok, thanks for the answer. 👍👍
Nice video! Any difference on the sound between 75t and active 75t?
Thanks for the feedback. Both have the same tech on board in terms of delivering audio. So you're getting the same sound quality.
Does it stay in ear when running yes or no? Not watching a 16 minuet video with no actual running or exercise.
They stay in your ears real good. If you super glue them in. if not they fall out constantly sitting at the computer. Running is not even close to being possible for me. Upgraded to foam tips too.
worst IEMS ive ever had. They sound great when they are in though.
Is there any difference between elite and the actives? Can I use non active 75t in the gym because 75t active are not available in my country.
There is two difference between them. the IP rating (55 v 57) and the coating on case and buds. The active has a rubber coating who gives a better grip. The 75 elite have a harder plastic. Think of the old mouse ball and the mouse itself.
Hi Achal, you can wear both in the gym.
Nice review, thanks!
What about the grip of the buds? I thought these buds were less polished then the Elite 75t. I expect the Elite Active 75t to stay in your ear better even when sweating because of that? I have the Elite 65t and due to the smooth surface they sometime slip out of my hands while putting them back into the case. How's that with the Elte Active 75t?
Thanks Ralf. The difference in texture is very, very slight between the 75T and the Active and we've not really found too much of a disparity to be honest.

Which of these has better sound quality?
Did you try the normal 75t for running too couse there are some reviews saying that they don't fit that well and also falling out sometimes while running
Nice vid.. imo it would be better if you had onscreen timestamps for the sections at the beginning. Also I would cut the music on the sections frame.
Cheers.
LarsJ1977 Thanks. We do put the time stamps in the captions so you can jump to the sections.
Can you leave the case in your car or at home? Or is this something you have to carry around? I know the app reads the case's battery life as well so I'm not sure if they are supposed to be together
You don't have to have the case with you for the headphones to work. It just extends the battery life and keeps them safe.
Hello im using jabra active 65t should i upgrade to 75t active is good in upgrading
If your 65t aren't broken and you've been happy with them, there's a good argument to save your money and the planet and stick with them. The 75t and Active 75t are better, no doubt about that, but probably only really worth it if you're 100% in need of new buds.
@@TheRunTesters ohh thank u🙂
Is there any wind noise in windy weather, or are these blocking it? I just bought the Powerbeats Pro headphones and they are pretty useless when cycling. I was wondering if these would work better.
Hi, we've not tested these cycling so hard to say. Nothing while running though. Pretty good noise isolation.
Both are same in sound quality or calling
Yes.
Between this and the jaybird vista, which would you recommend?
Update: I bought the vista. Couldn't have been more pleased.
Sorry we didn't get to reply in time but vey happy you've made a choice you're pleased with.
@@TheRunTesters No worries!!!
Jaybird are crap ,stay clear
@@chrisChris6969 Happy with mine. What is the reasoning behind your statement? Just saying it's crap hardly makes a convincing statement.
Do the jabra elite active 75t fall out when doing intense activity such as jumping, sprinting or push ups?
Hi Ronald, this can vary person to person but we've had no issue sprinting. Jumping we've not tried nor push ups, though we see no reason they'd fall out for the latter.
these Jabras are really good, but what I dont enjoy about them, is how tight they plug my ears, more than any other true wireless headphones I tried
I hear every step throught my head and these sensations are even stronger when running, so you have to turn up the volume and bass... longer runs = headaches! :/
I also have Bose SoundSports and they are much more comfortable because they sit kinda outside of ear canal, but they have they own specific issues as well :)
Yeah, we found that you have to have them in quite far to get a more secure fit and that can become uncomfortable on longer runs over an hour or so.
Hi I have a question i have read some comments here saying that the Jabra 75t is falling out while running or jogging is it true because this is a big deal for me any of you guys experiencing the same thing? Pls answer thanks
Hey Marvin, Mike here. These are the headphones I use for running and I've not experienced any problems of these falling out. What I will say is, if you are in any doubt about fit, I'd always suggest opting for something with a wingtip design that should ensure a secure fit. Something like the Jaybird Vista for instance.
Thanks for the reply but I really want that Jabra elite active 75t tho because of the good sound quality can i just buy wingtip somewhere and put it in the Jabra or it won't work?
I have bought them, they are amazing. I can't use the jabra's microphone when I'm playing Cod mobile. Any ideas? Thanks...
Hmmm, COD is a bit out of our comfort zone. Last game we played was FIFA 97!
@@TheRunTesters hahaha I don't really play games but only cod sometimes. Thanks for the answer, keep going with your amazing videos 👍👍👍
@@techtodayy I play pubg while using the Jabra Elite 75t. I guess with cod it would be the same. Trying and check if mic is generated for the game
The latency quite annoying.
Is the active 75T can use independently?
No but an update is coming within a few months where that feature is included
Do you know when?
@@panomonasabi7900 Should be before June.
Is the earbud size of elite 75t same as the active version? Is it worth upgrading from elite 75t to the active version?
Ashley Montenegro Yes and probably not. We discuss both in the vid to explain why.
How do they compare to the elite active 65t?
Hi Sean, in short, they're a decent upgrade.
Would you get the the Actives 75’s over the elite 85’s?
We're kind of holding out for the Elite Active 85s!
One question tho, focus on it please and listen carefully. Do u get like white noise or hissing sound from ur left bud? I've received mine today and I noticed it. It's not that irritating and loud but it's noticeable and for this price I would say it's unacceptable....
Have you updated them?
@@Thalor yes I have
Anyone know if i can enable step tracker with these?
*DETHRONED*
these were good but at $180 it was a bit much but now the Galaxy bud plus at $150 has 11 hours of playtime while the 75t has only 7.5 playtime... Which is good but you can get earbuds 1/3 the price at $50 like the jlab air with 6 hour playtime.
Mile End Stadium big up
100%.
I'm having trouble in jogging , it tends to fall out. Any suggestions? Plz guide
Hi, you've hopefully tried this but going through the gels for sizing would be our first step.
You didnt metion the softness of the case and the buds
We honestly didn't feel it made a huge difference. Feels nicer.
I just bought it. And returned it after. Coz there's a hissing sound on the left buds whenever I'm on a phone call. Returned it. Got new pairs tried it and the same problem that's why i bought sens true wireless.
the left earbud for 75t create high pitch sound whenever i make a phone call. return it..
That's not ideal. We didn't have any issues with that with our unit.
Same problem. 😂
Could you please comment the stability of connection when paired with garmin watch which is being weared on the left hand. Thank you
I got these 1 week ago. I replaced the tips, because they made the inside of my ears itch. So far I’m on the fence. I’m kinda disappointed with the sound and functions. I own a pair of Apple Air pods. The apple buds fit my ears better. I’m kinda disappointed with this product. I hate the function of the Jabra. I’m hoping the software update comes sooner. I’m sticking with the Apple air pods for now. Apple is a lot easier to use.
That's interesting. Did you replace the tips for other from another brand? We've heard of some of the silicone watch straps causing skin reactions. What functions do you dislike?
Literally first comment saying bad thing about sounds of these buds lol
Im not trying to bash Jabra. I’m just pointing out some of my issues. I’m still getting the hang of using them. My biggest issue that I have is, constantly touching the buttons when I adjust them. I know It’s user error, but it is extremely annoying. The other issue that I’m having, is the opinion of removing the left bud, doesn’t always pause the music. It only works sometimes. Maybe a faulty set or a software bug. My Air pods are just as loud and a bit more comfortable in my opinion. I did replaced the tips with misodiko brand. My ears stopped itching, so that’s a plus. I got my set from Best Buy, so I know they are authentic. I have some wired ur beats that sound just as good. I’m keeping them, but in my opinion not much difference between the air pods. The biggest difference is the noise canceling and the eq app. I’m also not getting the 7 and half hrs. More like 5. They are new so, maybe they need some break in time. Let me know if I’m doing something wrong. I have the latest version of the software. I was thinking of exchanging them, but I really want too love them. I watched all the reviews on here, everyone loves them. That’s why I bought them. Edit: I’m currently experiencing connection loss. My phone is on me., So I don’t know what the cause of this.
Then get Apple buds. Bye!
Barry is, gee thanks. I have some, but thank you for your input. Have a great day.
What's up lads
Are they better than Jaybird Vistas
Thanks in advance
Hi, (Kieran here...) this is a pretty close run thing because there are strengths and weaknesses to both. Between the four us we have different opinions on these. I prefer the Vista for the wing-tip fit , more run-friendly case, cheaper price, custom EQ and faster rapid charge. Though Michael and Tom feel the sound is better on the Jabra, you get a bigger buds - and case + buds - battery life. And you get a HearThru mode on the Jabra too.
Hey (Mike here). Just to add to what Kieran says, these are two really great options for runners. I've used both a fair amount of time and they've been great to use. What has me going back to the Elite Active's is the sound quality, just because I prefer the power they give you. You still great sound on the Vistas, just not as much of the power in my opinion. Both fair really well as far as fit and battery in concerned.
Thanks many I appreciate your reply I'll go with The Elites
@@thabrooklynfellah Cool. Let us know how you get on.
What watches are you guys wearing?
Try these... ruclips.net/video/JNMXZiZgXPE/видео.html
Anyone using it for cycling?
Hi, we've not tested these on a bike but see no reason they wouldn't perform as well as they do on a run.
You cant use one then the other only the right works by its self
Kieran here, you're 100% right, Ryan. My bad. You can use the Jaybird Vista buds independently but not these. Thanks for pointing that out. Will clarify that in our caption.
An update will change that in a few months time.
Youll never go wrong with Jabra. Used Elite Active 65t for past year and half, shower with them and all. Just upgraded to Elite Active 75t. Never no problems, shower or gym.
The difference? I can stay in the shower longer now ... singing offkey😏

The left earbuds keep falling out my ears
It does happen for some people. Did you try a different size gel in that ear? Obvious thing to say, sorry, but you'd be amazed by the number of people who don't do that.
@@TheRunTesters that’s the first thing I did, try different sizes, the smallest one fit me best
Le mecs sont même pas capable de faire un tour de terrain pour la vidéo. C'est un test ou un exposé ?
We've tested these extensively on other runs. We'd rather spend time telling you what we think of them than adding set-up glamour running shots for the sake of it.
Can you take ex. a 30 mins long shower with those?
Um... the real question here is surely why would you take a 30 minute long shower with them?
Because when I'm in the shower I often miss my music.
capote5000 We’d probably recommend getting a small Bluetooth speaker but these headphones “Can be submerged up to 1 meter in water for 30 minutes.” We have not tested them in a shower for 30 mins though.
@@TheRunTesters Bluetooth speakers are not great because they have to get loud to hear in a shower and my girlfriend and neighbors would not appreciate 😅
@@capote5000 Even if you play their favourite tunes? They are IP 67 rated so that means they've been tested, temporarily immersed in water up to 1m for 30 minutes. We've not worn them in the shower ourselves though.
You guys can’t be reviewing electronics without good talking audio. Buy microphones for yourselves!
We can 😂. And we did.👍
My $50 pair of J Lab Go Air's have been more reliable and trustwothy than these crap Jabras.. The earbuds work then dont work, sometimes it wont pair at all, the sound is low, not impressed with them at all, not worth the hype or price at all.
