Another great video! I've got a suggestion, as someone who uses buds for music and calls. Though it may seem like a minor thing, the ease of getting the buds out of the case is really important to me. I usually end up dedicating a pair to phone calls, and those are always within easy reach (right now they're the Earfun AirPro 3). The Soundcore Liberty 4NC are an example of a bud that, because of the case button, are a little more fiddly to get out of the case and in my ears quickly. More often than not, buds without a stem will never become phone call buds for me, primarily because I've got to pinch them in some sort of awkward way to get them out of the case. I get that it doesn't have to be a race to get buds in my ears, but if possible, I like to do it as quickly and seamlessly as possible when I'm answering a call. Adding something like "Ease of removal from the case" as a category in your ratings and on the spreadsheet, would definitely help me make an earbud choice. Thanks!
Sound quality, names at the top don't hear many reviews on these, thanks for bringing them up. Denon, Technics mostly known for the home system. Good to know.
Another great Picky review & comparison. I'm still using my Elite 7 Active at times but might upgrade eventually. I wish Jaybird dropped the Vista 3,as they'd be a direct competitor. My Vista 2 still work & they been thru a LOT.. Lol.... Keep up the Picky work 💯💪👍
@pickyaudio agree... Jaybird got a lot of mixed reviews with the Vista 2 but I feel like they'd be able to make improvements just like other companies but not looking too good considering it's been couple years now... lol Keep up with that Picky work my man💯💪
Very interesting review. Especially because Rtings scores the jabra elite 8 gen2 as the best earbuds in many categories and especially in sound quality.
Picked up the Elite 10 gen 2 when it came out. Personally, the ANC for me was the most inconsistent on any bud I've tested out. It's like this weird "figuring out how much to cancel" feeling *if* the NC mics decide to work. I honestly wish I would have returned these in time. Great mics and software, but eh, NC was just too disappointing for the price. Other than that, great product
Same with the Elite 8 Active for me. Otherwise great earbuds but the ANC is almost unusable for me. Shame as I like the 3.5 headphone jack adapter since it makes a many of my devices now usable with earbuds.
Oh, you look different! You bought a new t-shirt, I'm sure that's it! Jokes aside, I decided to pay a little extra and buy the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for this channel and the reviews :)
Love the reviews Picky... Will you be reviewing the new Sony Linkbuds fit? Interested in this as a cheaper more active xm5 alternative with same great quality & features
I have the jabra elite 10 gen 1. They are quite good. I do not think there is much difference to upgrade. When these will no longer function, I will go for aZ80 or 90, which one will be available then. Love your videos. Best regards. 😊
I already have the 8 active but I’m a sucker for a bit of consumerism and they gen 2 are available for 160 GBP atm, do you think it’s worth upgrading? I have beats fit pro too which are great for their transparency mode and fit, but they constantly cut out when I use them in the gym which kinda defeats their whole purpose!
Had to return two pairs of the Elite 10 Gen 2 because the ANC was making a pulsing noise in both ears even when there was no noise in the room. Tried resetting each pair multiple times but issue always came back later and Jabra has not pushed any updates or fixes … other brands have had multiple updates in same time span so not sure if Jabra going to fix them
a quick suggestion: check out the xiaomi buds 5, these have the airpods style semi in ear design, but only cost 80 bucks, and have all the features. (the Touch controls are like the pro 2, with the volume Control)
I still don't understand the wind noise reduction of the 10 elite. Does it switch off ANC completely? That would make them unusable as ANC earbuds outside?
Why is the sound quality rated so low, especially on the 8’s? The description doesn’t explain why they are considered so average. Rtings rate them really high.
My biggest disappointment has been the mics in quiet rooms and rooms with some noise and crosstalk. The noise suppression is so strong my voice ends up sounding thin and hard to hear clearly. It's disappointing because I can hear the other person loud and clear with anc on. The transparency is more like a sidetone. You have to listen with intention or else it takes a moment to understand. I find myself taking them out often so I can hear what's going on around me or if someone is talking to me.

Enjoy!

Fair enough sound is subjective

Thank you for another great comparison, Picky! 👍
Thanks for watching!
I think it was nice that Jabra did a refresh before they called it quits. Thanks for the review. 💯🔥🇺🇸
Cheers! Yea sad to see them leave
Oh, you look different! You bought a new t-shirt, I'm sure that's it!
Jokes aside, I decided to pay a little extra and buy the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for this channel and the reviews :)
haha thanks! Glad you're liking them
You need to test higher end moondrop tws, especially golden ages
Loved this review mate! How does the sound of these compare to the OnePlus Buds pro 3?
Pro 3 slightly more V shaped and better customisation, I prefer them
Love the reviews Picky... Will you be reviewing the new Sony Linkbuds fit? Interested in this as a cheaper more active xm5 alternative with same great quality & features
Cheers! I do plan on it. No set date just yet

Nice! I'm glad you're enjoying the Elite 10
Hi, love your videos😇, could you do sennheiser accentum next ?

Hello metalhead 🙋♂️ Will you release B&W Pi8 review soon? 🙂
He already has one my fellow metal head 🤟🏾
Hey! I already have a review out. I do plan on releasing an update video soon though as Iv'e change my thoughts on the buds
Rip Jabra
We had a good run
For me the 8 gen 2 sounds as good as 10 gen 1 in the call quality tests overall
a quick suggestion: check out the xiaomi buds 5, these have the airpods style semi in ear design, but only cost 80 bucks, and have all the features. (the Touch controls are like the pro 2, with the volume Control)
I still don't understand the wind noise reduction of the 10 elite. Does it switch off ANC completely? That would make them unusable as ANC earbuds outside?
Yes but only when a lot of wind is picked up
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW
👊
Try the latest update for the Space A40 They sound better to me
Bro got a new look!!
Why is the sound quality rated so low, especially on the 8’s? The description doesn’t explain why they are considered so average. Rtings rate them really high.
What ear buds to buy for around 100$ jbl live pro 2 or liberty 4 nc ? I have a iphone 15
Liberty 4 NC
@@pickyaudioor maybe you have another suggestion?
@@pickyaudio i see in your raking that the best under 100 are the one plus buds 3 and i belgium i can have it for 70€

For the 10 gen 2 you need to wait between 10 and 20 seconds before full call noise cancellation kicks in
Same for 8 gen 2
What about the new Sony buds links
Sipping on Gen and juice
I'd like a pair of those Jabra earbuds considering they got out of the business
Nothing new comming from Beats?
oh picky you cut your long hair which is your symbol
