Jabra Elite 8 Active
Great "Active" earbuds

Overall, I’ve been very impressed with the Jabra Elite 8 Active earbuds.
What I like:
- The fit is excellent once you choose the correct tips (I needed the middle size ones that were pre-fitted, my 18 year-old daughter needed the small ones – swapping them was very easy). I feel much more confident that they won’t fall out when exercising. There’s a noticeable resistance when taking the buds out, highlighting the good snug fit. Make sure you try out the different sizes; the small tips were noticeably too small for me as the noise cancelling wasn’t as effective.
- The noise cancellation (ANC) is great; if I have music playing I can’t hear much background noise at all. When out running or walking, the ANC does a great job of masking the noise of traffic.
- The sound quality is superb. Stereo works great, the sound is crisp and clear with decent treble and bass without the need to change settings in the app. I recommend turning the Spatial Sound on in the app for a more immersive sound.
- Battery life, especially with the case recharging them around 4 times, is superb.
- The buttons are nice and tactile; they can’t be pressed by accident like many other earbuds.
What I don’t like (not a lot!):
- The look is different to your conventional earbuds and can look a bit chunky in smaller ears.
- I’ve not yet found a way to be able to control volume using the buds; you can personalise the button actions but don’t seem to be able to set volume up/down to one.
If you want a quality pair of earbuds with great fit, sound quality, ANC and battery life, I’d thoroughly recommend these.
