bought the Devialet Gemini 2 yesterday and the sound quality is the same lol... for 400€ but the comfort is shit tested so much earbuds now and the Elite 75T is still at the top

How important are continuous updates for earbuds? I would think if the bugs have been worked out then updates shouldn't be necessary. Unless there is a security flaw?
almost every piece of software written these days are so complex that finding bugs is less likely, and more of a certainty. - software updates for a time can help mitigate these and reduce the severity of bugs as users put collectively thousands of hours of use into discovering said bugs.
The Jabra Sound+ app will be supported until December 2027. After this date, the Jabra Sound+ app will continue to function but will no longer receive updates.
When was the last time you actually needed an firmware update for your earbuds?! As long as the app and base features work fine there is no need for that. Pretty sure they will support them for 3-6 months at minimum which should fix all major things
Typically when they discontinue they will support for a short period before cutting out support entirely, I have had several Jabra earbuds in the past and only got like 1 firmware update in the life of the earbuds anyway
@@kl4224 Well them releasing a new pair of earbuds and discontinuing them immediately is not a great business practice either. Just buy something else if you don't like the price.
nice ear buds. The case is a handy feature for me. With Jabra leaving the market I wasn't sure about these. However, the Jabra Sound+ app will be supported until December 2027. After this date, the Jabra Sound+ app will continue to function but will no longer receive updates.
I have the Gen 1 Elite 10's, and absolutely love them. But from a sound perspective, I do prefer the Sony XM5's. But while I'm at work, shifting from work phone to personal phone on a dime, the Elite 10s are superior. Glad to own both, but I'm glad Jabra released a great product before ending the line.
I've been using 4 85t jabra earbuds for 3 years, one by one. The last one died yesterday. Annoying me that only right units are dead, all left units are healthy still. Well, but I loved their sound quality, ANC and most of all multi paring. I consider elite 10 as my next ear bud.
5% to 10% difference in audio quality. Tuning and hardware is way way more important. But yeah I’d have preferred lead (ok half battery life) and adaptive aptx
My Elite 7 pro's started having problems and I just bought these when trying replace mine in warranty but Jabra never got back to me so it ended up out by a few weeks when I was finally able to go to the retail store instead where I bought them but was able to get a deal with these. Picked them up for $199 AUD, that's $133 USD so not a bad price. However they don't fit in my ears very well at all and if I shake my head they fall out very easily and this is with all the silicone sizes tested. I like to run and have not tested them while running but hopefully they're able to stay in when I do...
they should look similar, it's the exact same hardware. All Jabra did for this and the Active 8 gen2 was update the firmware. But they claim an over the air firmware update is not possible and they can only do it adding a new circuit board.
The clicky earbud buttons are the only reason I buy Jabra. The touch ones suck if you have gloves or are bike riding with a beanie cap on and gloves on they're worthless!
Thats crazy they are totally discontinuing earbuds.. its like the hottest product on the market they carry. They should cut it down to 1 or 2 models.. I just ordered some 10 gen 1’s… yes retailers have them for $150 now. Best buy black Friday special.. I chiose them for the click buttons.. much better to use with work gloves
Thank god there is finally an alternative to the Bose ones, i have had 7 pair of Bose earbuds which all broke (the last pair broke today). I *_NEVER_* want any Bose product ever again. *EDIT:* Nevermind, these earbuds are so much worse than the bose earbuds that i don't even consider them a competitor, the fitment in the ear is worse, they are less comfortable, the active noise cancelling is not even half as good, the sound quality is significantly worse, and the spacial audio does not even get close to the bose earbuds. I have honestly never been as disappointed by the performance of a product as i have been with these, not because they are bad, they aren't bad, but when watching this review my expectations were something comparable to the bose quiet comfort earbuds, which these are not, even though the price is practically identical, but at least these don't break if you look at them in the wrong way I'm gonna be angry for a couple hours now about how bose can be capable enough to make a product that outperforms everything else, yet be completely incapable of making a product that doesn't break if you look at it incorrectly
Oh my God, thank you. I have had my suspicions about the ANC percormance of the Jabra 10's Gen 2 compared to the Bose. I really hope Bose makes erabuds with a Case and a METALL HINGE (is that too much to ask for? Why is Apple nearly the only one doing this?!). And pls.give me speeze controlls, nobody likes accidental Commands.
Auto connect to two devices is, in many cases, not working. The problem has existed for around 118 days (cf. Reddit), and Jabra expects to fix it in Q1 2025. Don’t buy this product if you want to use auto connect (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro and laptop). Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 won’t auto connect to the iPhone :(
@regularperson9801 and you got the 10 elite *gen 2*???? Damn..... Have you try all the different ear tips? I was really was considering buying them....
@@HasanAlKharfan yup gen2. I only tried the tips that came with it tho. the thing is it works for a couple of seconds when you turn it on and then it starts letting noise in.. it seems to self-regulate the level of ANC. I don' t think better tips can help here. it's "hybrid anc", you don't get to set high or low, it picks it itself. it sucks. I returned them today, going to try the XM5's . Maybe mine were bugged but check online before you buy, many complaints.
@regularperson9801 yeaaaah about that, i caved in and got the wf xm5 😂, got a good black friday deal on them. They seem good, but the anc depends A LOT on the passive isolation of the foam tips, Although I haven't tested them out more than a couple of hours, they are MUCH better than the galaxy buds 3 pro (I'm am knees deep in the samaung ecosystem) so i don't think you'll be disappointed with sony.
@@HasanAlKharfan the eartip is shit, just get azla sednaearfit crystal standard and you are very good to go, even reviews on reddit shows they are top alternative for elite 10 stock eartip, providing way better noise isolation = better anc and overall improve sound, go google yourself.
I really wonder how you do your tests to come to the conclusion that these Jabras are better than the Bose and Airpod Pro 2 when it comes to ANC, this is completely false in reality.
Bear in mind that these are the upgraded earbuds of generation 1, so the potential for it to be better than bose and airpods Pro 2 is very high, in my opinion. Even the first generations should definitely be able to compete with them and the best, even in the area of ANC.

They'd sell more if they open sourced their entire source code and just let us take over updates and functionality since theyre discontinued anyways.
Dumbest comment ever
I still use my Jabra Elite 75t earbuds. They're a bit dated, but the quality is so good, I haven't bought any other earbuds since.
Me too man using since its released, unfortunately i washed them out in washing machine along with my clothes so have to switch to elite 10 gen 2
bought the Devialet Gemini 2 yesterday and the sound quality is the same lol... for 400€

I have the gen 1’s and still want these lol.
are you happy with gen 1?

I prefer the Elite 10's to the Sony XM5's in sound, ANC, comfort and controls. Just better product overall. Sad to see them go.
Hi! How's the battery life please? (with/without anc). Thanks!
Hey sound guys, can you please tell me which earbuds are good when it comes to sound quality? Sennheiser momentum tws 4 or Jabra elite 10 gen 2?
How can you distinguish between gen 1 and gen 2 just by looking at it, or looking at the packaging?
The pairing buttons on the front for gen 2
The charging cable will be different as the gen 2 has that input feature
I've been using 4 85t jabra earbuds for 3 years, one by one. The last one died yesterday. Annoying me that only right units are dead, all left units are healthy still. Well, but I loved their sound quality, ANC and most of all multi paring. I consider elite 10 as my next ear bud.
Can they be used individually? Only the right or only the left?
Yes… i guess thats what they call mono mode.. that important to me too as i only wear ome at a time at work
Yes, they're GREAT! I have 4 previous buds and loved them but these are fantastic.
Why do mines ANC not seem to work? It makes no difference from when they're off.
in the app there is a slider to set which level of anc u desire. also there is anc, ambient and off function
@@tehhalia903 Is still very bad outdoors, I can hear everything. Traffic, people talking. I have Jabra Elite 7 and its better than this one.
@@user8634-o7fyou have bad ear shape
I am debating which one to buy for jogging and bike rides, 10 or 8... Which of them blocks out wind noise better?
Go with the 8 gen 1 on sale now, or grab gen2. ANC is really good on the gen 1.
Its a pity these do not have LDAC, only standard AAC and SBC.

Put a sweat band around them
Got em, very comfortable. However LC3 is not supposed unless you use the case which kinda sucks. Would prefer it over AAC with my OP12 phone
I'm waiting for my OP12 to arrive and looking to find what top of the line earbuds to get. Are you happy with the gen 2?
May i know Jabra elite 10 gen 2 released in which country?
they should look similar, it's the exact same hardware. All Jabra did for this and the Active 8 gen2 was update the firmware. But they claim an over the air firmware update is not possible and they can only do it adding a new circuit board.
Probably isn't even true, they're exact the same devices with slightly better firmware 😅
What ia the difference gen 1 and gen 2?
I would like to know that two.
Not a lot in all honesty! Check their website.
Could you test the AKG N5 Hybrid please?
The clicky earbud buttons are the only reason I buy Jabra. The touch ones suck if you have gloves or are bike riding with a beanie cap on and gloves on they're worthless!
New Bose QCE work totally fine with gloves and touch, was surprised.

Having used these now. They're definitely not as good as Airpods pro 2 on the ANC front.
What about busy places with lots of people talking?
oh no ;( i just bought jabra elite 10 today and turns out it is gen 1:(((

Still the same rubbish sound tuning with sharp highs and wobble-bobble basses, as the 1st gen was?
yes agree, i have the Gen 1 & was disappointing
Talking about the ANC without any form of comparison against gen 1 rendered the review mostly pointless to me.
🤡 there’s a review for gen 1 by sound guys it blocks 75-83 percent of sound this model is 85 percent there your CLEAR answer

Because people buy sony and apple just for the brand name.

That microphone quality was horrible. Jesus.
Wouldn't waste my money on these overpriced buds their sound tuning are trash
