    I was waiting to see how the 10’s look in the ear. And no can do. They stick out more then the 8’s. The 8’s are more flush in the ear. And this makes them look cooler and better in the ear overall. So was hoping the 10’s had the flushness of the 8’s but since they dont. Have to go with the 8’s. Plus i HATE oval shape ear tips. They never fit as good as round ear tips. So those are the 2 negatives that force me to get the 8’s. 8’s have more secure fit, more flush inside ear, and just look better in ear are the reasons i have to to get the 8’s over the 10’s. Its a no brainer. Jabra could of hit a home-run if they had the 10’s swap out the body with the 8’s so that you get the flush and securer fit and better round ear-tips. But its cool, in a way the consumer is the beneficiary because we get the better earbuds and they cost less then the 10’s. ✌️

    I have the Jabra Elite Active 7’s, and people can never hear me during calls. This is a pity as the buds are perfect in every other way.
    Has this been addressed in the new models? (You mentioned call quality is not amazing, but how does it compare to the old models..)

      He mentioned the 8 has 6 mic’s vs 4 mic’s on the 7. I would hope that means the voice quality is better.

      That’s interesting as I have Jabra Elite 7 Active as well as a couple of other wireless earbuds (mostly by SoundCore) and people say that they can hear me without any problems when I’m on Jabra Elite 7 Active as opposed to the rest.

      Good question! I have the same issue… but that’s the only one.

      I had that same problem. I took them back because of that. I have the 4 active and I love them

    The previous model was one of my Favorites. One underrated feature is they have nature sounds built in. My biggest problem is that I went through 4 pair of these because one earbud on each pair would completely lose volume. Never could figure out why.

    I have an Elite 85t and it’s amazing, I love it, but the Dolby Atmos feature is something I really want. I read in your review it doesn’t support some Android Audio formats, how would this affect listening to Apple Music Spatial Audio for example? Or Spotify whenever they release HiFi? Because I’m interested, currently I have a Moto Edge 30 Ultra and a Pro, both with Dolby Atmos.

    forgotten brand, mid unboxing experience, generic design
    all that for a very extremely high price, who does this chinese brand think they are?

    Sticking with my Jabra Elite 7 Pro and Elite Active 7.

      If you don’t mind me asking which do you like better the 7 pro or active 7 and why?

    August 31, 2023 at 9:59 am

    Jabra always make the most comfortable earbuds, but they miss out on being best sound/anc/mics etc every time. Fingers crossed for the Elite 10.

    I’ve been using the Jabra Elite 7 Pros for over a year and they’ve been very good. In fact I’m listening to this video with them.

      Me three. I’m not looking forward into buying any earbuds, I truly love the 7 pros

    I’ve been waiting for these. Very disappointing to be honest

    I really don’t understand how soundcore and even this cheap earfun earbuds figure out the mics and Jabra still behind on that !

    I bought the Elite 65t active and still use them daily. Great on vacation (on the beach, at the pool) I use these rather like my AirPods Pro 2 because I’m afraid that they are more likely to break. With the Elit I have no worries that anything breaks. If the 8s are exactly the same, I would also get me immediately, as soon as my times give up the ghost. But the things work for 4-5 years without problems. If jabra Makes a great offer then I would exchange mine.

    • regflori

      Yeah, I’ve been using the Elite 65t actives for years now and only now am I noticing that the batteries deplete much quicker

  13. brittany Cunningham

    August 31, 2023 at 11:46 am

    So you think the airprods pro 2 are better than these? Im here for the review and need new headphones for everyday/working out.

    I just got both pairs from Jabra yesterday. Honestly, the Elite 10 are even better than the Elite 7 Pro’s in so many ways. The Elite Pro’s are the best earbuds for calls I’ve ever used and I have no doubts the Elite 10’s will be better. In a coffee shop right now as I type this, I did a microphone test and it’s crazy how these are sounding like I have a headset on. Had a call with a colleague and they said they could hear very little noise in the background the decibel level is between .75-85. Love the colors too!

      You mean elite 8 pro right? How does the fit fare when you are doing exercise?

    Never trust jabra promises, you’ll be regretted

    I use the 85T, the 7 Pro, and the 7 Active. Out of the 3, I love using the 85T the most, because of the oval cushions. They have been the most comfortable earbuds up to this day. Its ambient and ANC performs better compared to the 7 pro and 7 active in my experience. The downsides of the 85T is battery life and can only use the right ear bud solo, not the left one.

    I was hoping that Jabra would update the 85T in the future, and they finally did with the Elite 10. I will buy these in the near future.

    For $200 and $249 I just think there are better options. Sure if you’re looking for really really high end work out buds this may be a great pick but those looking for great sound quality should look elsewhere and those looking for great workout buds can def save more and get a more secure fit!

    Jabra is the most useless company. Thank you.

    I have the Jabra Elite 75t for 4 years now and I am very happy with them, the quality and the fit are incredible and the case is pretty small which is a huge deal to carry daily. Also the passive noise reduction is good on them !

    Come on jabra

    You keep saying Waterproof. What you mean is Water Resistant

    Jabra’s are great except their Bluetooth range sucks! If I go to take a p*ss, they cut out behind one wall! Sony has got them beat in that respect.

  25. HDHasTe

    August 31, 2023 at 9:00 pm

    I have the 23+ and looking for a solid pair of earbuds. Would uou recommend either the airpod pros 2 or jabra elite 10s?
