Jabra Elite 4 Active
Initial Experiences Positive

Having received the Jabra Elite 4 Active in good order I was immediately presented with an opportunity to test this device on the go whilst visiting London on the train. I have experience of another manufacturer's Bluetooth earbuds (not a particularly mainstream brand at a slightly lower price point) and was disappointed, particularly in-call. Whilst I haven't specifically tested in-call yet, in every other respect my experience with the Jabra Elite 4 Active has been decent.
Right off the bat the fit was excellent - extremely comfortable; insert and a small twist sees the earbuds sit nicely in the ear. I noticed little movement or slip, even when chewing.
Jabra support these earbuds with an App which was relatively easy to follow, although I recommend activating "Find My Jabra" which seems to make them pair more readily following initial set-up. The options are just right, with both a equaliser and options in relation to noise reduction to achieve the perfect setting.
Sounds quality exceeded my expectations. The bass was deep but not over-powering and I noticed myself picking up components of tunes I'd missed using my previous device. The noise reduction obviously helped here immensely - on a noisy train I could literally here nothing else (although there is a pass-through option too).
The only negative for me was the case in which you store the earbuds and which offers a charge. Compared to my other experience I found the finish a little lacking and the hinged top somewhat flimsy. I can imagine this getting squashed out of shape in a pocket or bag.
However in general my initial impressions are very positive and I had no hesitation in offering 4/5 stars at this stage.
