Gorgeous sounding, comfortable…

The fit:
I found the fit of these earbuds to be extremely comfortable. My ears are on the smaller side, so I struggle to get other brands of earbuds to fit in my ears without having to constantly readjust them and take them out frequently to give my ears a break from the rough plastic.
The Jabra earbuds, however, have a rubberised coating, making them soft in your ears and allowing them to grip in the same position without being readjusted. These are so comfortable I had them in my ears all day and barely noticed they were there.
The sound:
As you can expect from Jabra, the sound quality is second to none. The treble is well-balanced, and the bass is punchy. You can also customise the sound profile in the app to your liking which I appreciated. I listen to a lot of film music which is complex and details can be missed with lesser sound quality but with these Jabras, the sound quality is mesmerising.
Noise Cancelling:
I was impressed with the noise-cancelling feature, it’s a big step up from my old Jabra earbuds and worked well on my commute and in the gym. It feels as though you’re listening to music on your own in a big room, the sound profile is very spacious.
I like the hear-through feature too, this is useful if you want to listen to music but don’t want to be completely shut out from the outside world e.g., you want to hear the announcements from the train conductor but don’t want to be constantly taking your buds out of your ears.
Call Quality:
This is the only area where it feels like these earbuds are lacking as they pick up a huge amount of background noise when you’re on a call such that if you’re on a noisy or windy area, the person on the other end of the line cannot hear you well at all. If you’re in a quiet room indoors, however, they pick up the sound well and it's crystal clear.
Overall
Overall, I felt the earbuds performed exceptionally. The improvements to the fit made all the difference to me and I found them so comfortable to wear. My older model Jabra earbuds and other earbuds I have worn can make my ears really itchy and I often had to take them out of my ears to relieve the pressure and give my ears a break. I did not have any issues at all with these new buds, however, they are so comfortable to wear all day long!
