thanks for this! I've bought the Jabras but after about 8 hours of testing I'm returning them. The ANC amplifies sudden loud noises like the tram door closing and this is an absolute dealbreaker(without ANC there is no painful loud amplification so it's def that). Also 30min drained 10%, 1hour 20%, so didn't seem they would even last 6 hours. Prob gonna buy the XM5s, loved the XM4s but the battery died bc of the firmware... def not gonna update the fw on the XM5s lol

​@@groundingtiming IIrc they had a few batches where they did not use the right batteries in the earbuds but adjusted in the firmware for the lower voltage But they did not do seperate updates that would keep the voltage lower so suddenly batteries with 3.7V were constantly charged to 3.85V and as we all know, thats not the best thing

I'm glad someone is finally putting out a decent competitor to the XM5s, at a lower price, and that it was Jabra.

Hopefully Jabra will improve even more with a few updates in the coming months. Oval buds always fit better for me. Thanks for the great work!

Thanks guys, for taking great efforts to make this video. It has helped me make a decision!

@DHRME great job with very interesting, important and practical points! The only thing I've missed is that usually people looks for loud and potent sound, whereas I look for low and Hi-Fi sound combined with noise cancelling, so I don't damage my hearing more as did for long years listening high volume on lower quality buds.... Would love to hear your opinion on that as it looks like the Sony has a better passive noise isolation and I'm worried Jabra won't cancel everything at lower volume

This is one of the best reviews!! I love the way you guys handle this! Great job fellas! I picked them up and I absolutely love them. Replaced all my earbuds including Bose Quiet comfort 2s and Sony XM5s. I no longer have to carry 2 Bluetooth with me and has a perfect balance between ANC and call quality on my everyday heavy use. Spot on!! Thanks guys once again!

They are both great, what pushes me towards Jabra is my experience with them being durable, reliable and long lasting. I've just upgraded from Jabra Elite Sport (V2, 2018) to Jabra Elite 10, fantastic sounding earbuds, it's like night and day compared to the old ones. IMO the AAC codec is good enough. These buds are just so comfortable and light too, it's like you're not wearing anything!

Nice video, guys! How does their call quality while biking in the wind compare to that of the Liberty 3 Pro? I've been looking for a replacement for my L3P for more than a year, but nothing seems to be as good for that scenario. Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the video. It helped me a lot in deciding between the two earbuds. I ended up buying them both from Amazon US to test them directly. I ended up sticking with the Jabra and returned the Sony. The XM5 has the better sound of the two, but with the Jabra not too far behind and with more extra features to show off - like better Bluetooth, the ability to move from a paired device to another in a more seamless way, and a significantly better call experience, the Elite 10 are a better package for my use case (plus, I have other good headphones for when I want to play the "audiophile game.") Anyway, your review was illuminating and truly helpful. Thanks for helping me find my new daily driver. Keep up the good work!

Excellent review. How does the sound quality of Jabra compare to Enco X2? Thank you

Has the overall EQ characteristics of the Jabra changed drastically compared to the predecessors Elite 7 Pro? I have the Sony XM4s and there's something in their EQ or frequency response that I don't like in the lower mids. I listen to lots of rock and metal and it makes everything just muffled and muddy. I wasn't able to fix this with EQ tweaks. Then I bought the Jabras and a loved them. Now I need to know, if it's worth upgrading for me ... thanks in advance.

My experience is: purchased Sony twice, returned twice for others like the Tozo Golden (has better sound to me but with connectivity issues) just got the Jabra and so far I like them better than the Sony XM5. Fit better, Sound Better (more Bass response but not over done) I do find the ANC isn't as good as the Sony but that isn't as important to me. Over all, I like the Jabra over the Sony You guys do an amazing job on your reviews 😊

Recently got a Jabra Elite 10 from my office and they sound amazing. It's very comforting on my ears. Enjoying it so far. ❤ I also received a Sony XM4's (headphone) from my office for regular use, but honestly I enjoy wearing Jabra more.

8:02 the sony wf-1000xm4s went the way of the jabras, where you can hold the touch sensors for 5-7 seconds to get the earbuds into pairing mode. I'm used to it

Vakman! 😂 love it! What earbuds would you recommend for exercise? Also can you tell me what type of cameras do you use for filming, such great quality!

This is, as usual, a good review. The only good review at this time. Others are just parroting Jabra marketing. Im stuck between the elite 10 vs elite 8 active. At work I use a single bud at a retail counter, and I want to know if there is a difference in "hearthrough" between the 8 and 10.

Thanks Dudes Hearing Real Mad Earbuds. Love my Jabra Elite 85ts. How do the elite 10’s compare to the oppo enco x2s or T-AZ80s?

How did you enable the Dolby on the jabra app? I can’t seem to find it anymore when I first paired it to my iPhone.

The fact that the Jabra buds performed so well with their microphones is amazing. Because with a IP57 rating they shouldn't waterproofing microphones usually effects them in a bad way. Awesome review and comparison thank you. 💯🔥🇺🇸

LOL 12:20 "the only fix is don't use the buds while on a bike when there's wind" - yet by cycling you create wind - so yeah... I don't agree though that you aren't aware of your surroundings - why not just use one bud, and keep one ear "open"? Where I cycle (this is big aspect of my purchase) I know my surroundings well enough to predict where any issue may arise, and take precautions accordingly ... luckily, the biggest potential threat would be cows or tractors -- and those you can either smell, or see from a distance... thanks for the vid!

I went with XM5s due to them having the voice detect and the voice filtering that the Jabras lacked. I also I previously had the Sony Link Buds S, so I was just use the Sony's app and sound stage, I love the Excited EQ setting. XMTs foam ear tips were a different feel, but after a day I got use them and the earbuds feel very comfortable.

I have the sony wf-1000xm3's. Replaced the varta cp1254 batteries with the zenipower z55h batteries (bigger capacity for longer endurance) a few months ago. Returned the sony wf-1000xm4's after 2 and a half years of ownership due to battery drain issues. TLDR: should I go for the jabra elite 10's, or keep using my sony wf-1000xm3's?

Hello, thanks for the reviews 😀 I wonder if all jabra in-ear have same chargers. If i have a old in-ears and can buy another modell and then juse same case? /h

Have you guys tested the Jabra headphones. I've wanted the Sony top tier over the ear headphones for a long time, however after having the Sony WF XM4 ear buds and the Jabra Elite 3 and 4, I preferred the Jabra for bass, comfort and button.

Does the Alexa assistant integration work well enough? Had problem with it on past Jabra headsets? TY.

Hey Yiannis, not yet!

Great review as always. I'm using android and iOS phones, and apple music on both (sound so much better than Spotify!). My android phone has LDAC and aptx adaptive. So, I'm wondering how much difference there is with LDAC and Sony Vs the jabra elite 10 when playing hires lossless music? Dolby Atmos is fine for watching films but I can live without it. I think you mentioned a transparency slider for the Sony? My ears pricked up at that as that is something I'd find very useful in office settings, where different levels of transparency are very handy for me (an alert for keywords could be handy at times!). I haven't used Alexa voice for ages. However, when I'm away for several days with access to a charger I use an Amazfit watch which gives me 11 days without a charge. That uses Alexa so I might give it a go (just need a phone that lasts that long without a charge). For day to day use I use an Apple watch, usually alongside my Android phone, and Siri wins hands down vs Google for voice recognition for me, and the ability to do something useful!

❤ your VIDEOS you guys have great energy.

Nice video guys, are you checking out the new version of your favorite earbuds, neobuds pro 2 are out🎉

Have you ever tried az60 technics but the new version? M2? I wonder if they are better than these ones.

Curious if others have had such a positive experience with Jabra battery life as I have. I purchased some 75t Actives in 2020 and the battery seems to last great. 3 years, it charges to 100% (case and buds), I can leave it in the drawer for a month, pop it out and it's 100%, go use them for an hour or two and the battery is hardly drained. I have had both the Sony xm4 and linkbuds s and both of them have had one earbud start to fail to hold a charge. One bud will just drop to 0% in ~ an hour of use. If you leave the case for a day or two, the charge starts to drop. While I have been really happy with the Sony's, they do feel like they are build to be disposed of after ~1 year. Whereas the Jabra seem like they are built to last for years. Does anyone know if Jabra will be releasing a Pro version of the 8?

I am using the Sony M5 for a few weeks, and I like its really small case which is easy to carry. But for its transparency mode and ANC mode, I am bit disappointed.

Hi - Samsung wf-1000xm5 v/s jabra elite 10, which one do you suggest in terms of Sound quality and noise cancelling ?And price is not a constraint for me!

Was hoping for this review.

May i ask if the jabra elite 10 or the xm5 has wider soundstage? I tested both and the xm5 seems alot closer. Jabra seems wider

I am looking for earbuds for work. I am a MacBook and iPhone user. Do either (or any) earbuds switch between devices automatically based on device used for outbound call or incoming call?

So I had the Jabra 75t back in the day and loved them hard, so I was not surprised to see the win go to Jabra here. However, I was still skeptical for all the love everyone seems to be giving the Sony pair everywhere else... so I bought both today. And after playing with them for about an hour each and getting everything set up... I agree with the guys in this video! The app is better, the comfort is better, the sound is richer and fuller, the ANC is better. Will keep the Jabras and return the Sonys back to the store tomorrow. Thanks guys; I won't doubt you again!

Hi, is it possible to let 2 people to wear 1 side earbud at the same time? My jabra 75t active always mute when I share 1 earbud with the another firends as it "detect" the distance is too far.

I got the Jabra Elite 10s refurbished off ebay for $130 straight from Jabra with a 2 year warranty. Look and work like new, I actually still have my 75ts from 4 years ago that I also got refurbished from Jabra, love them and could never justify getting rid of them despite using Momentum 3 true wireless and Beoplay EX a bunch the past year. Really I don't even know what's best these days, they all sound great and with a few EQ changes I get any premium earbud sounding fantastic to my ears. A good problem to have.

Hey! I've just bought these bad boys a week back & since then I'm testing these rigorously. I pick these just because of there call quality & being the best arounder right now. The only concern that I've is battery timings. When I've tested these they gave me. Calling: Around ~5 hours on call (not a continuous call for 5 hours, its like like ~2.5-3 hours on call, rest on music or simple anc or hear through mode without music). Music: On music on/off (with anc/hear trough) I'm getting 7 hours+ timing on single charge (which is very good)! So are these a good results according to your testing or should I go for a replacement.

Jabra has so many buds 3 through 10, pros and actives. They have huge differences in price. 3s are going for $50 USD and the 10s $250 USD. Is the difference between them that big? Are the 8 active and 10 that much better than the 3 and 4 active?

I've been in analysis paralysis forever and this video convinced me to get the Jabra Elite 10

Please review the WM5 call quality using the latest 3.2.1 firmware. I noticed a very clear improvement. In my tests, it is now one of the best for calls in noisy places.

I enjoy both but I lean more XM5 especially for music. I gotta say neither app is hard for me & I'm vision impaired 😆.

Has the Jabra Elite 10 improved at all in the past 3 months in terms of call quality while biking in the wind? (via firmware updates) Thanks

The sony WF-1000 XM5's noise cancelling is HUGELY dependent upon seal, but even with a good seal I still think the ANC is underwhelming for the money. I find I have to have my music at a fairly loud level to drown out sufficient outside noise, where as my WH-1000 XM4 over ears provide better ANC at around 20-30 % lower volume.

Hi Guys. I really y enjoy most of your reviews. Did you ever compare the Sony's Ldac mode to the sbc one? The reason I'm asking, because I had the Jabra 7Active, and the Sony wf1000xm4, and the wf1000xm5. All I can say, the Ldac makes a big difference, sound quality wise, in every possible ways. Did you ever tested the Ldac against sbc, and you did not hear the difference, or you just simple ignored it? Cheers, Tibor

Tibor, that was a great point. I have tested previous iterations of Jabra. They were always great for phone calls, not for listening to music. Sonys xm4 and xm5 (that I own) were always great for music with ldac codec enabled and hirez source of music (i.e. flac files). Now with xm5 call quality is actually much better. In the future with updates jabra may become the sound king, but... I will NEVER base my purchases on future promises and maybes... As of now the only close competitor of XM5 is Technics AZ 80.

@mithrandir4146 I very much hope that, Sony will make some serious adjustments, with their next firmware update. As you've pointed out, there are some flows, need to be fixed. Anyway, why do I have three pairs Ldac capable earbuds now, if we can't buy Ldac kind of transmitters? Sony should make them. Any idea, why they not interested in that? They refuse to implement aptx, which is widely used by other companies, yet they make us rely on our android phones. You may raise the question. I tried the Fiio bta30pro, but I hated it. Despite the fact, the sound was ok, the rest was forgettable. I know it received great reviews, but it is a disaster, when it comes to transmission. The app disconnects in transmission mode. You have to re pair every headsets, if you want to swap them. So the market is missing, a good quality Ldac Bluetooth transmitter. Keep up the good work. Cheers Guys.

@@tiborbozso1033 Well, I am not on the board of SONY, but if I had to make an educated guess, exclusion of Aptx codec has a lot to do with the bottom line, i.e. profit. APTX requires presence of Qualcomm microchip in the device, while LDAC codec is already implemented in all the sony devices. Within sony ecosystem everything works seamlessly. I have used xm4 and xm5 5with my sony music player nw a55 and also tried it with sony experia phone - the sound of music was truly magnificent! The same could be expected with apple earbuds and apple devices, Samsung phones and Samsung earbuds. Every company wants you to use only their products, or products of the company they have a contract with.- Sony has agreements with Android companies and Apple wants to be exclusive with Apple products. In the end hardware is only a part of the equation. You must have a hi fidelity , lossless music source from flac files or from streaming sevices to truly appreciate the instrument separation and wide Soundstage. Regardless of wireless earbuds you have none of them will come close to majestic sound of Shure se535 or 846 wired in ear monitors. Wireless technology is not there yet. In the end you have to decide what fits into your lifestyle. Since I am a frequent commuter, have a sony music player and an audiophile, Sony checks a lot of boxes for me. For others it might be Technics, Jabra or Bose, Apple or Sennhiser... I hope you find yours. I have tested a few different brands. XM5 seems to be more user friendly and does not require your personal data and registration for the product to use the device. I really hope you find yours. I wish you luck in that quest.

I use the Sony for when I need maximum ANC and sound quality, and the Galaxy Buds+ when I need a secure fit. From the looks of it, you're using rather large eartips on the Sonys. When I use smaller ones, the earbud itself sits more in my conch and it's more comfortable.

How about when you are running, does it drop out easily or is it a snug fit
