thanks for this! I've bought the Jabras but after about 8 hours of testing I'm returning them. The ANC amplifies sudden loud noises like the tram door closing and this is an absolute dealbreaker(without ANC there is no painful loud amplification so it's def that). Also 30min drained 10%, 1hour 20%, so didn't seem they would even last 6 hours. Prob gonna buy the XM5s, loved the XM4s but the battery died bc of the firmware... def not gonna update the fw on the XM5s lol
@@groundingtiming IIrc they had a few batches where they did not use the right batteries in the earbuds but adjusted in the firmware for the lower voltage But they did not do seperate updates that would keep the voltage lower so suddenly batteries with 3.7V were constantly charged to 3.85V and as we all know, thats not the best thing
This is one of the best reviews!! I love the way you guys handle this! Great job fellas! I picked them up and I absolutely love them. Replaced all my earbuds including Bose Quiet comfort 2s and Sony XM5s. I no longer have to carry 2 Bluetooth with me and has a perfect balance between ANC and call quality on my everyday heavy use. Spot on!! Thanks guys once again!
I made that upgrade and yes J10 has new features and new advantages (like to use only one bud, left or right, ANC, open design...) price is expensive as it's the last product of the brand so yes right now it's overpriced... You choose.
@@lxtwin same question, but I have just the elite 75t. I've had them for a few years, before that I had the 65t. The 75t are good, though I'm still on the search for the top tier options. Rtings has had the jabra elite 10 as the top pick and then replaced it with the jabra elite 8 active for some reason. Right now I have the 75t, akg n400nc and oneplus buds pro 2. Comparing them all. Best fit is jabra 75t. Sound quality is between oneplus and jabra. The akg just aren't tuned right out of the box and the EQ is horrendous to use as well as the software. Oneplus has the best software not surprisingly.
Impressive job Jabra did. Didn’t see that coming. But for the market, great they did. Again great and clear review and makes it easier to choose great earbuds 👍
You guys were Awesome. Info was clear and concise, and the Entertainment snips were slick! Do not change a thing! Oh wait, I am keen to actually hear the Audio through the Mic, other than that, Well done!
I have the sony wf-1000xm3's. Replaced the varta cp1254 batteries with the zenipower z55h batteries (bigger capacity for longer endurance) a few months ago. Returned the sony wf-1000xm4's after 2 and a half years of ownership due to battery drain issues. TLDR: should I go for the jabra elite 10's, or keep using my sony wf-1000xm3's?
8:02 the sony wf-1000xm4s went the way of the jabras, where you can hold the touch sensors for 5-7 seconds to get the earbuds into pairing mode. I'm used to it
Technics az80 vs the Jabra? I got the az80 on sale for a little less than the Jabra 10, I like them a lot but thinking of getting the jabras now too for a daily pair
@@yusuff7_ they could definitely be used for daily pair, they are just very expensive for where I live so not so much a chuck in your bag sort of thing- the jabras for example are $200 less where I live
My experience is: purchased Sony twice, returned twice for others like the Tozo Golden (has better sound to me but with connectivity issues) just got the Jabra and so far I like them better than the Sony XM5. Fit better, Sound Better (more Bass response but not over done) I do find the ANC isn't as good as the Sony but that isn't as important to me. Over all, I like the Jabra over the Sony You guys do an amazing job on your reviews 😊
@DHRME great job with very interesting, important and practical points! The only thing I've missed is that usually people looks for loud and potent sound, whereas I look for low and Hi-Fi sound combined with noise cancelling, so I don't damage my hearing more as did for long years listening high volume on lower quality buds.... Would love to hear your opinion on that as it looks like the Sony has a better passive noise isolation and I'm worried Jabra won't cancel everything at lower volume
I have had my Jabra Elite 10s for a week now and I am super satisfied. Audio quality is great even with a lesser codac. I never once felt it sounded off, I did raise the low ends in the EQ a tiny amount. The comfort is simply unmatched to any I have ever tried. The negative with the semi open fit that makes it so comfortable is that ANC does naturally get affected slightly. But still blocks plenty of noise where I never felt bothered by it.
@@Plague_Doc22 I got a lot of ear wax if right, I tried Sony and i hate it because of the wax is on the tips, so i use apple airpods and Jabra elite 10 now
LOL 12:20 "the only fix is don't use the buds while on a bike when there's wind" - yet by cycling you create wind - so yeah... I don't agree though that you aren't aware of your surroundings - why not just use one bud, and keep one ear "open"? Where I cycle (this is big aspect of my purchase) I know my surroundings well enough to predict where any issue may arise, and take precautions accordingly ... luckily, the biggest potential threat would be cows or tractors -- and those you can either smell, or see from a distance... thanks for the vid! Should be in my ears next Tuesday!
I have the jabra.. tried them for a day and I put them back in the box and am plannig to return them.. i find the sound quality meh and I was not impressed with the anc. And I still rock my Lg tone free dfp8 to compare it too. Am I missing something with the Jabra elite 10 gen 2? I put them in my ear and twist a bit and I feel discomfort after 2 min of wearing. My LG (and soundcore 4nc) I can wear for long hours.
Sony's 360 audio isn't a feature. There is a seperate 360 audio app which has like paid concerts and other things and the sony or any other company's buds can be calibrated accordingly. That 360 audio is not applicable for the music you listen to on your phone. Just a gimmick.😒
It is. You need a compatible source like Tidal. That's the thing - the whole thing is confusing. It's an object based surround thing, just like Dolby Atmos.
Hi Guys, I have the Jabra 10s and the windnoise is bad outside with Anc on, and I have the windnoise reduction switch on. I have Technics az60 and they do a great job of reducing wind noise, also have liberty 3 pro which do a good job too.. Could U please talk about this in future reviews, windnoise outside with anc on ... thanks
The wind noise recalibrates itself after a few seconds. We actually talked about this at length. Either in this video or the Jabra Elite 8 Active video.
I have now been using the Jabra Elite 10 for a fortnight and I was extremely satisfied. However, more and more people have pointed out to me in phone calls (Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra) that they hear an annoying echo and their own voice twice. I have tried to fix the problem without success. Has anyone had similar experiences?
I am looking for earbuds for work. I am a MacBook and iPhone user. Do either (or any) earbuds switch between devices automatically based on device used for outbound call or incoming call?
I’m looking to move on from my newly purchased Status Between 3ANC. Uncomfortable for me and not impressed with the ANC. I’ve landed on Jabra elite 10 and Technics az80. Phone quality isn’t as important to me, but comfort and music is important to me on construction job site. Wondering if you lean one way between these 2.
Hi Guys. I really y enjoy most of your reviews. Did you ever compare the Sony's Ldac mode to the sbc one? The reason I'm asking, because I had the Jabra 7Active, and the Sony wf1000xm4, and the wf1000xm5. All I can say, the Ldac makes a big difference, sound quality wise, in every possible ways. Did you ever tested the Ldac against sbc, and you did not hear the difference, or you just simple ignored it? Cheers, Tibor
Tibor, that was a great point. I have tested previous iterations of Jabra. They were always great for phone calls, not for listening to music. Sonys xm4 and xm5 (that I own) were always great for music with ldac codec enabled and hirez source of music (i.e. flac files). Now with xm5 call quality is actually much better. In the future with updates jabra may become the sound king, but... I will NEVER base my purchases on future promises and maybes... As of now the only close competitor of XM5 is Technics AZ 80.
@mithrandir4146 I very much hope that, Sony will make some serious adjustments, with their next firmware update. As you've pointed out, there are some flows, need to be fixed. Anyway, why do I have three pairs Ldac capable earbuds now, if we can't buy Ldac kind of transmitters? Sony should make them. Any idea, why they not interested in that? They refuse to implement aptx, which is widely used by other companies, yet they make us rely on our android phones. You may raise the question. I tried the Fiio bta30pro, but I hated it. Despite the fact, the sound was ok, the rest was forgettable. I know it received great reviews, but it is a disaster, when it comes to transmission. The app disconnects in transmission mode. You have to re pair every headsets, if you want to swap them. So the market is missing, a good quality Ldac Bluetooth transmitter. Keep up the good work. Cheers Guys.
@@tiborbozso1033 Well, I am not on the board of SONY, but if I had to make an educated guess, exclusion of Aptx codec has a lot to do with the bottom line, i.e. profit. APTX requires presence of Qualcomm microchip in the device, while LDAC codec is already implemented in all the sony devices. Within sony ecosystem everything works seamlessly. I have used xm4 and xm5 5with my sony music player nw a55 and also tried it with sony experia phone - the sound of music was truly magnificent! The same could be expected with apple earbuds and apple devices, Samsung phones and Samsung earbuds. Every company wants you to use only their products, or products of the company they have a contract with.- Sony has agreements with Android companies and Apple wants to be exclusive with Apple products. In the end hardware is only a part of the equation. You must have a hi fidelity , lossless music source from flac files or from streaming sevices to truly appreciate the instrument separation and wide Soundstage. Regardless of wireless earbuds you have none of them will come close to majestic sound of Shure se535 or 846 wired in ear monitors. Wireless technology is not there yet. In the end you have to decide what fits into your lifestyle. Since I am a frequent commuter, have a sony music player and an audiophile, Sony checks a lot of boxes for me. For others it might be Technics, Jabra or Bose, Apple or Sennhiser... I hope you find yours. I have tested a few different brands. XM5 seems to be more user friendly and does not require your personal data and registration for the product to use the device. I really hope you find yours. I wish you luck in that quest.
Jabra has so many buds 3 through 10, pros and actives. They have huge differences in price. 3s are going for $50 USD and the 10s $250 USD. Is the difference between them that big? Are the 8 active and 10 that much better than the 3 and 4 active?
Hey! I've just bought these bad boys a week back & since then I'm testing these rigorously. I pick these just because of there call quality & being the best arounder right now. The only concern that I've is battery timings. When I've tested these they gave me. Calling: Around ~5 hours on call (not a continuous call for 5 hours, its like like ~2.5-3 hours on call, rest on music or simple anc or hear through mode without music). Music: On music on/off (with anc/hear trough) I'm getting 7 hours+ timing on single charge (which is very good)! So are these a good results according to your testing or should I go for a replacement.
Has the overall EQ characteristics of the Jabra changed drastically compared to the predecessors Elite 7 Pro? I have the Sony XM4s and there's something in their EQ or frequency response that I don't like in the lower mids. I listen to lots of rock and metal and it makes everything just muffled and muddy. I wasn't able to fix this with EQ tweaks. Then I bought the Jabras and a loved them. Now I need to know, if it's worth upgrading for me ... thanks in advance.
I went with XM5s due to them having the voice detect and the voice filtering that the Jabras lacked. I also I previously had the Sony Link Buds S, so I was just use the Sony's app and sound stage, I love the Excited EQ setting. XMTs foam ear tips were a different feel, but after a day I got use them and the earbuds feel very comfortable.
Thanks for the review, I bought the elite 8 active and I love them, great for running, great sound and mega resistant with great fit, so overall a great choice
Hi! Loved the video! I have a question regarding earpieces: do they work independently? I can only use one earpiece and I'm worried that not all functions and settings will work with only one on 😢
Hi! Thanks for the video. It helped me a lot in deciding between the two earbuds. I ended up buying them both from Amazon US to test them directly. I ended up sticking with the Jabra and returned the Sony. The XM5 has the better sound of the two, but with the Jabra not too far behind and with more extra features to show off - like better Bluetooth, the ability to move from a paired device to another in a more seamless way, and a significantly better call experience, the Elite 10 are a better package for my use case (plus, I have other good headphones for when I want to play the "audiophile game.") Anyway, your review was illuminating and truly helpful. Thanks for helping me find my new daily driver. Keep up the good work!
Recently got a Jabra Elite 10 from my office and they sound amazing. It's very comforting on my ears. Enjoying it so far. ❤ I also received a Sony XM4's (headphone) from my office for regular use, but honestly I enjoy wearing Jabra more.
I tried sony and it often happens that when I move away from second device, it disconnects and does not want to connect automatically. Next one problem, before I take out the second earpiece with difficulty, only one connects to me, the other one works transparently. Jabra is definetly better for me .
Can anyone comment on the perceived durability of the silicone outer and physical button? I'm concerned physical button may jam or fail over time. As well, the silicone will wear out.
i seen pretty mix review for this on the microphone on sync, on phone vs pc/mac with syncing issues. i wonder if buyers here for the jabra elite 10 faced the same?
Could you please provide a comparison between Sennheiser momentum tws 4 and Jabra elite 10? I'd like to understand the differences between the two. Thank you!
Hi guys I was wondering if you have any info on HIFIMAN SVANAR Wireless Noise Cancelling Bluetooth in-Ear Hi-Fi Earphones with Hymalaya DAC, Topology Diaphragm Driver, IPX5 Water/Sweat Resistant, Wireless Charging, Built-in Mic for Audiophiles currently $499 on Amazon
Hi, is it possible to let 2 people to wear 1 side earbud at the same time? My jabra 75t active always mute when I share 1 earbud with the another firends as it "detect" the distance is too far.
Does head tracking work with Netflix and music apps? Is it like Apple's solution, so when you turn your head to the side you still hear the sound from that direction? Spatial audio is I think a gimmick without head tracking. These Sony features like speak to chat, head gestures are pretty useless. You cannot just decide having ANC on whenever I walk or on the street. This cannot be GPS or position based - these are random acts and it takes a click of a button to toggle this anyway. The Jabra Elite 10 could be my next buds - it's conviencing. (but you now I still have Huawei Freebuds 2 Pros which are UNBEATABLE) Oh, getting LE audio later with an update makes the whole thing even more interesting. Too bad there is no LDAC.
Best review I’ve found. Great job guys. I’d love to hear what you think of Bose quiet comfort. I think the fit looks good but lacks all the good features for device pairing.
@@DHRME thanks. Watch it. Ouch! (I’m Dutch too, and a fuk-man). The lack of multipoint scratched them off the list. If that wasn’t a problem, the white noise would have killed them for sure. BUT the fit may be the best in the industry.
I wonder thou if I have a smartphone and want to listen music on it via wireless connection. What is the best deal here? q45? q35? mb something like edifier wh950nb?
I just got a pair of the Elite 10s and by god these have amazing sound. The 10mm drivers do make a difference. I owned 1000xm4s and galaxy buds 2 pros but the sound that I get from these are just too good. My only qualm is that stock tips (regardless of the size) don't give me a good seal and this makes a huge difference in the ANC. As such, the ANC is not what it ought to be. Can anyone here suggest some good replacement tips for these earbuds please?
Yup..I'm on the xl tips but the seal isn't still perfect. I'm hearing quite a bit of outside noise. There's a lot of talk about azla sendamax. I was wondering if you guys have had some experience with those.
How does Jabra sound that good with just sbc and aac, and would they sound just as good on the Android with sbc codec, I own the Marshall motifs rn and there's quite a difference between how it plays on Android and Apple devices ( better on Apple ).
Having the weird problem with the wf 1000 xm5. After being in windy conditions the right bud still sounds like someone is blowing on it for about 30 minutes. The anc completely goes bananas. It then works again, but for about 30 minutes after riding a bike they are all but useless. Anyone else having that issue? Feel like someone probably would have mentioned it.
I enjoy both but I lean more XM5 especially for music. I gotta say neither app is hard for me & I'm vision impaired 😆. They're both my EDC I use the Cocoa E10 at work tho bc they are a lil more discreet. It may be bc I use android but music just sounds better on XM5 & that's before I use 360 audio or DSEE
Hello, thanks for the reviews 😀 I wonder if all jabra in-ear have same chargers. If i have a old in-ears and can buy another modell and then juse same case? /h
@DHRME Amazing review! Great job! Would have loved to hear your opinion on the Audiobook use-case. I listen to audiobooks all the time walking the dogs and commuting and sometimes it’s hard getting a good audiobook sound even if the music experience is great!
Hi DHRME Today only I ordered my Jabra elite 10 is there any thing changed in this, reviewed 11 months ago any other products ? u can suggest now, Let me know thank you.
"Hello! I have a question. I'm interested in getting the Jabra 10 and Black Friday is coming up soon. Does Jabra usually discount their latest models during these dates or only older models? Thanks for your time."
I had a Sony headphone and I used the Sony app to turn on spatial audio. Maybe you gotta do that too for the XM5, setting is in app not in Bluetooth setting.
Hello bro,l hope you can answer my question. just bought the Jabras elite 10s for 199€ in Spain. I wanted them for listening music with a high sound quality, what do you think is better among jabra elite 10s,freebuds 3 pro, xm4 o pixel bud pro? Thanks you
They are both great, what pushes me towards Jabra is my experience with them being durable, reliable and long lasting. I've just upgraded from Jabra Elite Sport (V2, 2018) to Jabra Elite 10, fantastic sounding earbuds, it's like night and day compared to the old ones. IMO the AAC codec is good enough. These buds are just so comfortable and light too, it's like you're not wearing anything!
🚨*UPDATE* 🚨We retested the battery life and we got 9 hours on the battery on the Jabra.
Do Have Regrets about Mistakes, Everyone!

The reason I'm asking, because I had the Jabra 7Active, and the Sony wf1000xm4, and the wf1000xm5. All I can say, the Ldac makes a big difference, sound quality wise, in every possible ways. Did you ever tested the Ldac against sbc, and you did not hear the difference, or you just simple ignored it? Cheers, Tibor
Tibor, that was a great point. I have tested previous iterations of Jabra. They were always great for phone calls, not for listening to music. Sonys xm4 and xm5 (that I own) were always great for music with ldac codec enabled and hirez source of music (i.e. flac files). Now with xm5 call quality is actually much better. In the future with updates jabra may become the sound king, but... I will NEVER base my purchases on future promises and maybes... As of now the only close competitor of XM5 is Technics AZ 80.
@mithrandir4146 I very much hope that, Sony will make some serious adjustments, with their next firmware update. As you've pointed out, there are some flows, need to be fixed.
Anyway, why do I have three pairs Ldac capable earbuds now, if we can't buy Ldac kind of transmitters? Sony should make them. Any idea, why they not interested in that?
They refuse to implement aptx, which is widely used by other companies, yet they make us rely on our android phones.
You may raise the question.
I tried the Fiio bta30pro, but I hated it. Despite the fact, the sound was ok, the rest was forgettable. I know it received great reviews, but it is a disaster, when it comes to transmission. The app disconnects in transmission mode. You have to re pair every headsets, if you want to swap them. So the market is missing, a good quality Ldac Bluetooth transmitter.
Keep up the good work. Cheers Guys.
@@tiborbozso1033 Well, I am not on the board of SONY, but if I had to make an educated guess, exclusion of Aptx codec has a lot to do with the bottom line, i.e. profit. APTX requires presence of Qualcomm microchip in the device, while LDAC codec is already implemented in all the sony devices. Within sony ecosystem everything works seamlessly. I have used xm4 and xm5 5with my sony music player nw a55 and also tried it with sony experia phone - the sound of music was truly magnificent! The same could be expected with apple earbuds and apple devices, Samsung phones and Samsung earbuds. Every company wants you to use only their products, or products of the company they have a contract with.- Sony has agreements with Android companies and Apple wants to be exclusive with Apple products.
In the end hardware is only a part of the equation. You must have a hi fidelity , lossless music source from flac files or from streaming sevices to truly appreciate the instrument separation and wide Soundstage. Regardless of wireless earbuds you have none of them will come close to majestic sound of Shure se535 or 846 wired in ear monitors. Wireless technology is not there yet. In the end you have to decide what fits into your lifestyle. Since I am a frequent commuter, have a sony music player and an audiophile, Sony checks a lot of boxes for me. For others it might be Technics, Jabra or Bose, Apple or Sennhiser... I hope you find yours. I have tested a few different brands. XM5 seems to be more user friendly and does not require your personal data and registration for the product to use the device. I really hope you find yours. I wish you luck in that quest.
Jabra has so many buds 3 through 10, pros and actives. They have huge differences in price. 3s are going for $50 USD and the 10s $250 USD. Is the difference between them that big? Are the 8 active and 10 that much better than the 3 and 4 active?
did yall use gen 1 jabra or gen 2 ???
Hey!
I've just bought these bad boys a week back & since then I'm testing these rigorously.
I pick these just because of there call quality & being the best arounder right now.
The only concern that I've is battery timings.
When I've tested these they gave me.
Calling:
Around ~5 hours on call (not a continuous call for 5 hours, its like like ~2.5-3 hours on call, rest on music or simple anc or hear through mode without music).
Music:
On music on/off (with anc/hear trough) I'm getting 7 hours+ timing on single charge (which is very good)!
So are these a good results according to your testing or should I go for a replacement.
You guys are freaking awesome! This is a fantastic review. Keep it up!
Thanks Jeff! Cheers!
Has the overall EQ characteristics of the Jabra changed drastically compared to the predecessors Elite 7 Pro? I have the Sony XM4s and there's something in their EQ or frequency response that I don't like in the lower mids. I listen to lots of rock and metal and it makes everything just muffled and muddy. I wasn't able to fix this with EQ tweaks. Then I bought the Jabras and a loved them. Now I need to know, if it's worth upgrading for me ... thanks in advance.
Wow impressive stuff from Jabra! Surprised the anc was in the same tier let alone slightly better
It's still a matter of opinion. A lot of videos say the Sony's ar better for ANC
Would you say the jabras at $200 beats the status between 3 ancs at $200?
Funny enough, in Australia we have a slightly different case, with the USB-C port on the bottom.
Have you tried turning it upside down? 😁
Well we are at the bottom of the world! Seriously though your case has the port on the side.
@@lundsweden That's really weird that your port is down under.
@@DHRME Lol!
❤❤❤ You guys are one of the only people who talk about and compare transparency mode thank you!
❤️
I went with XM5s due to them having the voice detect and the voice filtering that the Jabras lacked. I also I previously had the Sony Link Buds S, so I was just use the Sony's app and sound stage, I love the Excited EQ setting. XMTs foam ear tips were a different feel, but after a day I got use them and the earbuds feel very comfortable.
Thanks for the review, I bought the elite 8 active and I love them, great for running, great sound and mega resistant with great fit, so overall a great choice
Hi! Loved the video! I have a question regarding earpieces: do they work independently? I can only use one earpiece and I'm worried that not all functions and settings will work with only one on 😢
Thanks! They should work with just one bud in. There might be some limitations for the features.
Hi! Thanks for the video. It helped me a lot in deciding between the two earbuds. I ended up buying them both from Amazon US to test them directly. I ended up sticking with the Jabra and returned the Sony. The XM5 has the better sound of the two, but with the Jabra not too far behind and with more extra features to show off - like better Bluetooth, the ability to move from a paired device to another in a more seamless way, and a significantly better call experience, the Elite 10 are a better package for my use case (plus, I have other good headphones for when I want to play the "audiophile game.") Anyway, your review was illuminating and truly helpful. Thanks for helping me find my new daily driver. Keep up the good work!
Can it be used as a hearing aid for mild hearing loss? If yes, how good is it?
Recently got a Jabra Elite 10 from my office and they sound amazing. It's very comforting on my ears. Enjoying it so far. ❤ I also received a Sony XM4's (headphone) from my office for regular use, but honestly I enjoy wearing Jabra more.
gosh, that beard! 😍 great review, thanks guys 🥸
Hello guys when will you compare jabra elite 10 to airpods pro 2 or bose qc 2??
I tried sony and it often happens that when I move away from second device, it disconnects and does not want to connect automatically. Next one problem, before I take out the second earpiece with difficulty, only one connects to me, the other one works transparently. Jabra is definetly better for me .
Can anyone comment on the perceived durability of the silicone outer and physical button? I'm concerned physical button may jam or fail over time. As well, the silicone will wear out.
How about when you are running, does it drop out easily or is it a snug fit
It's alright like we said, but due to the shallow insertion we wouldn't take the risk.
i seen pretty mix review for this on the microphone on sync, on phone vs pc/mac with syncing issues. i wonder if buyers here for the jabra elite 10 faced the same?
May i ask if the jabra elite 10 or the xm5 has wider soundstage? I tested both and the xm5 seems alot closer. Jabra seems wider
Could you please provide a comparison between Sennheiser momentum tws 4 and Jabra elite 10? I'd like to understand the differences between the two. Thank you!
Hi guys I was wondering if you have any info on HIFIMAN SVANAR Wireless Noise Cancelling Bluetooth in-Ear Hi-Fi Earphones with Hymalaya DAC, Topology Diaphragm Driver, IPX5 Water/Sweat Resistant, Wireless Charging, Built-in Mic for Audiophiles currently $499 on Amazon
We've done a review. :)
Has the Jabra Elite 10 improved at all in the past 3 months in terms of call quality while biking in the wind? (via firmware updates)
Thanks
Excellent review. How does the sound quality of Jabra compare to Enco X2? Thank you
Hi, is it possible to let 2 people to wear 1 side earbud at the same time? My jabra 75t active always mute when I share 1 earbud with the another firends as it "detect" the distance is too far.
Does head tracking work with Netflix and music apps? Is it like Apple's solution, so when you turn your head to the side you still hear the sound from that direction?
Spatial audio is I think a gimmick without head tracking.
These Sony features like speak to chat, head gestures are pretty useless. You cannot just decide having ANC on whenever I walk or on the street. This cannot be GPS or position based - these are random acts and it takes a click of a button to toggle this anyway.
The Jabra Elite 10 could be my next buds - it's conviencing. (but you now I still have Huawei Freebuds 2 Pros which are UNBEATABLE) Oh, getting LE audio later with an update makes the whole thing even more interesting. Too bad there is no LDAC.
Head tracking works!
hi im wondering if the s tier jabra anc is on the higher s tier anc or lower tier s anc?
Highest
Thanks 😊
How did you enable the Dolby on the jabra app? I can’t seem to find it anymore when I first paired it to my iPhone.
It was the best review ever, thanks a lot guys !
Best review I’ve found. Great job guys. I’d love to hear what you think of Bose quiet comfort. I think the fit looks good but lacks all the good features for device pairing.
Cheers! We’ve got a bunch of videos on the channel about the Bose QC - let us know what you think!
@@DHRME thanks. Watch it. Ouch! (I’m Dutch too, and a fuk-man). The lack of multipoint scratched them off the list. If that wasn’t a problem, the white noise would have killed them for sure. BUT the fit may be the best in the industry.
I wonder thou if I have a smartphone and want to listen music on it via wireless connection. What is the best deal here? q45? q35? mb something like edifier wh950nb?
I just got a pair of the Elite 10s and by god these have amazing sound. The 10mm drivers do make a difference. I owned 1000xm4s and galaxy buds 2 pros but the sound that I get from these are just too good. My only qualm is that stock tips (regardless of the size) don't give me a good seal and this makes a huge difference in the ANC. As such, the ANC is not what it ought to be. Can anyone here suggest some good replacement tips for these earbuds please?
Replacement tips are gonna be hard. Have you tried a size bigger than usual?
Yup..I'm on the xl tips but the seal isn't still perfect. I'm hearing quite a bit of outside noise. There's a lot of talk about azla sendamax. I was wondering if you guys have had some experience with those.
@@amitraj3472 Not unless Azla sendsa us some
@@amitraj3472have you tried push and a lil twist? this method worked for me
I thought having a pairing button on the sony makes if more easy to pair because the XM4's has the same pairing procedure like on the Jabras
How does Jabra sound that good with just sbc and aac, and would they sound just as good on the Android with sbc codec, I own the Marshall motifs rn and there's quite a difference between how it plays on Android and Apple devices ( better on Apple ).
@DHRME how is the sound quality of Sony Xm5 (LDAC on) vs Jabra 10?
I also think they should mention codecs and devices while comparing sound.
Having the weird problem with the wf 1000 xm5. After being in windy conditions the right bud still sounds like someone is blowing on it for about 30 minutes. The anc completely goes bananas. It then works again, but for about 30 minutes after riding a bike they are all but useless. Anyone else having that issue? Feel like someone probably would have mentioned it.
I enjoy both but I lean more XM5 especially for music. I gotta say neither app is hard for me & I'm vision impaired 😆. They're both my EDC I use the Cocoa E10 at work tho bc they are a lil more discreet. It may be bc I use android but music just sounds better on XM5 & that's before I use 360 audio or DSEE
Fair assessment, this is what we meant by the XM5 being more versatile.
Hello, thanks for the reviews 😀 I wonder if all jabra in-ear have same chargers. If i have a old in-ears and can buy another modell and then juse same case? /h
@DHRME Amazing review! Great job! Would have loved to hear your opinion on the Audiobook use-case. I listen to audiobooks all the time walking the dogs and commuting and sometimes it’s hard getting a good audiobook sound even if the music experience is great!
THIS! I agree so much! The S-es especially kill me! The Jabra is fine, but Sony works better for that use case!
Aaarrgh! You can’t say that now when you’ve convinced me to get the Jabra! 😉
Great review! Thank you!
I like your style some how you see me less biased then the other critics. I ordered both to test them.
Cheers Maximilian! Curious what you think 😉
I made another comment with my findings. Please check and tell me if I maybe have a faulty device
Tack!
Tack for the tip 🙏
Hi DHRME Today only I ordered my Jabra elite 10 is there any thing changed in this, reviewed 11 months ago any other products ? u can suggest now, Let me know thank you.
Does the Alexa assistant integration work well enough? Had problem with it on past Jabra headsets? TY.
Thank you for this review. I'm looking at those Jabra's soon.
When it comes to earbuds headphones reviews, you guys the ones I trusted.
DHRME - Please help me make a decision. I just want the best sounding earbuds. Please suggest which one to go for - EX or AZ80 ?
"Hello! I have a question. I'm interested in getting the Jabra 10 and Black Friday is coming up soon. Does Jabra usually discount their latest models during these dates or only older models? Thanks for your time."
how much do you hear of the wind yourself on each of these earbuds? i cycle a lot and hate hearing wind through my earphones
I had a Sony headphone and I used the Sony app to turn on spatial audio. Maybe you gotta do that too for the XM5, setting is in app not in Bluetooth setting.
Sir please advice.... I use earbuds mostly for watching webseries and movies 90% time and 10℅ for music... So which should i buy
Having galaxy buds plus should i upgrade to galaxy buds 2 pro at 100$.
You guys r amazing, you're work is exelent
Thank you so much 😀
Hello bro,l hope you can answer my question. just bought the Jabras elite 10s for 199€ in Spain. I wanted them for listening music with a high sound quality, what do you think is better among jabra elite 10s,freebuds 3 pro, xm4 o pixel bud pro? Thanks you
They are both great, what pushes me towards Jabra is my experience with them being durable, reliable and long lasting.
I've just upgraded from Jabra Elite Sport (V2, 2018) to Jabra Elite 10, fantastic sounding earbuds, it's like night and day compared to the old ones. IMO the AAC codec is good enough. These buds are just so comfortable and light too, it's like you're not wearing anything!
Tell me, who knows which tws have a voice detection function like: Sony, Samsung, Google. ?????
