      75t is the best option out there, the 85t has several problems from not staying in place like the others to even the right earbud battery draining twice as fast and only lasting 3-4 hrs with ANC off and hearthrough off and I can go on with the problems

    Thanks 4 your video, from one longtime runner 2 another! I’m one of those runners that sweats an artful lot during my runs or while biking! I can agree that the Jabra 75t’s were the best sounding earbuds I’ve ever had. But, I decided 2 return them after 3weeks, because I didn’t have any success locking them in to stay in while biking and running! The left bud would stay in for more than 25 to 30 mins. Without me adjusting it’s fit. So, now what..... I went ahead and ordered some Jaybird Vista’s. LOL! I really wanted my Jabra 75t Active’s to work.... So much so, I upgraded my order to include the wireless charging. LOL! Please let us all know what your revelations once you’ve tested the 85t’s 4 fit while someone is sweating. Thanks

  • @TheTrini1980
    @TheTrini1980 3 года назад

    Like you I am a fan of the Jabra elite series. The shape of my ear canals are maybe a little usual and I have always had problems with earbuds falling out, especially from my right ear. I've used Jabra Elite Sport since 2017 and that were the best running earbuds I ever owned; great sound quality and never fell out. I recently upgraded to the 85t and while the sound quality is amazing, I feel like its not designed with the runner in mind like earlier versions. The earbuds don't feel secure when I run. I can feel them moving outwards while I run and I find myself constantly pushing them in my ear canal. They haven't fallen out yet but they always feel like they are about to fall out. On top of that I find that the semi-open design creates this wind tunnel effect and the sound of wind around me while running is very loud even with the ANC on. In general the I don't like the pass through feature because it mostly ends up amplifying wind more than any other sounds that I want to hear while I am running. Overall, I am a bit disappointment with the 85t. It seems like Jabra is moving away from making earbuds designed for use during workouts.

  • @polarisb518

    As a runner and a bike rider their IPX rating just doesn't cut it.
    Can not use them in pouring rain or in the terrain due to sand and dust, let alone during the summer and sweat pouring all over.
    With their price tag and open design they are more like buying LV or Rolex to be used in controlled environments.
    Very high quality but absolutely not suited for outdoor sports.

    I've always struggled with ear buds. I can never get them "anchored" right so they'll stay. Especially on a sweaty summer run.
    My choice for audio when running is Aftershokz. Not the "studio" audio experience but I can hear external sounds easily and they never move around when I'm running. I've got earbuds I can use on cold days when I wear a hat. The right tools for the right day I guess

I have big ears, they barely felt like they were in my ear, and fell out soooo easily, I had to twist them into the weirdest shape just to get some traction inside my ear. I sincerely hope this redesign is a better fit, I've seen a display model and they seem beefier than the 75t.

    I’ll be honest. I’m so sick of Jabra. I have the 75t active and now they come out with this but the improvements are marginal at best. I guess the biggest gripe for me is that you can only use the right ear independently for every model including this newest model. Like come on Jabra.

      GoPro 5k in harsh indoor light: pretty terrible. Although, it’s more a result of the lighting than the camera.

    Dude, where are you running like in Antarctica or something? I reckon you should move some place warm e.g. sub-saharan Africa the snow and slippery / dangerous roads are intolerable. what if you slip and break your ankle, you could freeze to death? yeah no thanks.
