I've had a pair of Elite 3's for about 6 months. I wear them all day, every day at work. They often take a sh*t kickin, I charge them at regular intervals. Never had any problems. They sound awesome right out of the box. Best buds I've bought under 100 bucks!
I’ve had a pair of Elite 65ts since 2017 and looking for some new ear buds for work/working out. I’ve never had issues with this brand. Def taking the plunge for this one
I can attest to the performance of these buds. I work in a highly red dust enviornment using very loud equipment doing sample prep of iron ore, using these daily as my ear muffs they allow for background noise to filter in and amplify the sounds making it easier to hear co workers in noisy environments at the touch of a button. They are exetremly dusty at the end of each day, while still working perfectly after 3 months of use. Absolutely no hiss in either and still no dead buds. Sound is quality.
Thanks for this comment, I work in a laser cutting shop with lots of metallic dust in the air so dust resistance is important to me. It sounds like your environment might be similar to mine and the positive feedback is a real help.
Watched this review like 6 months ago or so, before trying to decide which ear buds to buy; now I'm here to say that I completely disagree with the reviewer, bought Jabra Elite 3, and for their price its a killer ass product. Sound quality is worse comparing to ear buds that are priced around 300, BUT it is still acceptable, they are very convenient, battery life is good, no pairing issues, basically very pleasant everyday use. Especially suitable for running, working out, as they are very comfy and don't fall out.
Are both buds Bluetooth compatible? On the 85ts only the right bud is BT on its own, the left bud is entirely completely useless with the right one. Is that the same for these?
These buds are quite good for me. I'm experiencing no hiss and the they're the first buds that actually stay in my ears. Very happy with these. My only issue is that they don't go loud enough and I wish they had a custom equalizer in the app ...

Just ordered a pair today after returning the Soundcore Liberty 2, as they are impossible to pair with Apple devices. I just need buds for home office conference calling. ANC not required. The mic on the Elite 3 is the selling point for me. Update: very happy with them.
What do you mean the Liberty 2 are impossible with apple devices?? I have them, as well as many other pairs or earbuds, but the Liberty 2 ive had no issues with on my old iphone 11 and now on my iphone 13 pro.
I returned soundcore life A2 NC and a faulty jabra elite 75t... Got the Jabra elite 3 vs now, with a full customisable EQ. The cherry on top has landed on 59€ great earbuds!
TBH I will give up w/c, n/c as long as they sound good, are light, gives me 6-7 hours of battery and are affordable Even if he recommends these, I think a lot you reviewers are looking for the perfect buds,that doesn't exist, stop comparing these other good sounding not overpriced buds, to those ridiculous looking aircraps because those things are far from perfect
I bought these earbuds two days ago, and can confirm that the hiss is noticeable at lower volume. It does drown out on the higher level of volume. Just two days into using these, but I would say that this is a pretty accurate and unbiased review.
@@shorbagy I'm using an an Android phone, Honor 10 Lite, and iPhone 13. The hiss was noticeable with both, along with unstable Bluetooth connection. I finally returned the earphones and got a refund. It was such a frustrating decision, because I liked A LOT about these earbuds. However, the hissing noise and unreliable Bluetooth connection were too much of a compromise for me.
Hey Mark, I got a good deal on these buds as my cheap and cheerful go to set. Been using for a little over a week now. I'm sure my ears aren't as well tuned as yours but I have to admit I've not been experiencing the hissing audio issue anywhere near as much as yourself. I can detect a very slight hiss up until maybe 10-15% volume and only because I started listening for it after watching this review. Paired to a Samsung S20 FE over aptX and running Jabra firmware 1.0.8. Hopefully other users can post feedback good, bad or otherwise.
Dead earbud syndrome. That might be the most important part of this review for me. I have had three separate pairs of Samsung earbuds do the same thing. Not quite as quickly. But in less than a year one of the pair will either die completely or just start dropping out at random. You just saved me some grief, thanks.
Jabra just issued me a return for the 2nd time. In both pairs, one of the headphones fades out completely after a minute of use. The bud works but then just craps out. I was hoping they’d just give me a complete refund.
I've had the same issues with sony and more expensive Jabra's - specially the Jabra 65t, 3 times/pairs Ive bought, I've had issues with very low volume or no sound at all on one of the earpieces,, sometimes temporarely recoverable by pressing a bit hard on the nonfunctional piece into the ear as if theres a loose connection in the earpiece, I was very dissapointed with the durability of the 65t ...
No hiss on mine, half the price of my old headphones but way better quality. Without doubt the most comfortable i’ve ever had and don’t fall out when i’m running. Absolutely love them.
@@Mandy_39 can confirm since I have the same ones, good sound clarity, ANC works good for surroundings and I get about 6-7hrs. Plus they fit in your ear and don’t bulge out like others
The hiss could be the hear through option, where it uses the mic to pick up on sound while your ears are blocked by the buds.. There's no hiss on mine... Dont be put off, these are sublime in ear buds, they fit perfect and dont fall out, come with different size rubber gromits, bass is immense, mids and trebles are great, and they go loud and the battery life is good.
@Matthew Feldvari there's way more than enough bass, what music you been playing, i keep thinking wow these are great buds everytime I've played Spotify and for only £80
@@Target842 the bass is plenty, but the emphasis is on the mid-bass. It's putting a lot of emphasis on the musical notes of bass but not the thump and while I personally don't see much issue I can get how some may find it flabby if they just want a tight sub-bass punch.
You know what i thought so too but after this video i payed closer attention and he is correct. The hiss dissapears after like 30 seconds once u stop the sound. Its very faint but annoying once u notice
Had my pair for well over a year now and am doing research now to see about if I want to upgrade. As for the current ones, work phenomenal with no issues. The sound quality, plastic quality, bass quality, genuinely blew me away the first time I used them. My only semi issue was having to download the jabra app to pair, but I got over it very quickly since it offers you equalizer settings that sound great. Overall, best earbuds I've ever had, I prefer them over airpods for ear comfort, and hence why I'm looking to find a new generation of earbuds from Jabra.
I recently bought a pair of the Jabra Elite 3, and my experience is completely maths with your description. Thanks a lot for a precise and honest review. Soundpeats Air 3 Deluex HS and Earfun Air Pro 3, both were much better than this Elite 3 in-earphone, however they were not as comfortable as the Elite 3.
You SHOULD highlight the ear bud failure. This is a CHRONIC hardware failing endemic in the Jabra Elite 3 line. If you go online and research this, you'll see huge numbers of LEFT ear bud failures occurring 1 week to 3 months after purchase. And it's ONLY the left ear bud, so that means this is a hardware issue. If it were merely a batch of bad batteries, then battery failures would occur equally across both LEFT & RIGHT buds.
Beyond the usual stuff which you've probably already tried (factory reset, delete BT pairing, clean contacts, etc), there's nothing u can do. It's a qlty control issue with Jabra. Hopefully you registered your earbuds inside the Sound+ app upon purchase. Jabra FORCES you to manually "register" & give consent to receive marketing spam & have your private info sold if you want your warranty period extended beyond the standard period.@@Direktors
i wish i had seen this review before. Got them 6 months ago. The left earbud is completely dead too. i dont use them a lot, only like videocalls 1 or 2 hours every now and then. There is no jabra support in my country so i don't have any guarantee so i have to buy new ones already
I bought them today and I love it. Very good for the price. I did notice the slight hissing sound but you won't even notice it while listening to music. BTW it's very very good for calls. The other person can hear your voice very clearly. Very nice ear buds.
Was looking at buying these at my Harvey Norman retail, but glad I heard your review about the dreaded hiss. Turned me off buying these and appreciate your recommendations. I have Jabra Link head phones which are awesome, which is why I looked at Jabra earbuds. What a shame. Great reviews and easy to listen to you. Cheers
I wonder if these issues have been fixed with Jabra Elite 3, since I'm not having the problem you mentioned regarding hissing or any sort of hardware failure. The sound quality is great and they have features that I can't get when pairing airBuds to my Android phone.
@@JoshuaJ61 After about a year, Had the left bud die... through the warranty I got a new set and so far so good. Only down side is the singular paring to a blue tooth device. I'm constantly unpairing from iPad to pair to phone and vise versa.
Have you experienced the same hissing noise with the Jabra Elite 7 Pro? I just returned my Elite 3s after 6 months because they failed on me. I loved the form factor so am considering the more premium product to (hopefully) resolve a lot of my gripes with the 3s.
All the jabra earbuds I have ever owned fail in the left ear after 3 to 4 months. That is 5 pairs of 65t 75t and 75t active. Great sound great features but they all die after weeks or at best months.
10:13 I saw your video that was very helpful still today I went to the croma store and purchase elite 3, before starting using I read complete user guide from Jabra Before I played the very first music I noticed that hiss sound, I thought it was because of fan and still same thing I heard. Then I realise while reading user manual they mentioned there is feature called HearThrough that is by default ON with the product. So I checked the manually and I turn it off and believe me that hiss sound has gone , same option is available in Jabra app also even i saw that in your video as well. That's the reason may be nowhere you find any article regarding this issue. It's not fault it's feature that enables surroundings.
There is no audio hiss on these, I've used it on my desktop, MacBook Pro, iPhone 13, and GalaxyBook 2 Pro on music, movies, and podcasts. I think you have the hearthrough mode on mate.
Holy crap you’re still alive!! Missed your reviews, only so many times you can watch the same vid 🤓. Quick question for ya, I know you used to sing the praises of the XM3 buds, would you still say the same today? Kinda torn between them and the Edifier Neobuds Pro.. any thoughts? Especially now the XM3s are down to £130 or less.
On my iPhone Bluetooth, I pressed "forget Jabra Elite 3", but now, I can't find it again, and can't connect it with my Bluetooth. How do I connect it with my Jabra Elite 3, because it won't find it again.
Looking for an all-round tws but more towards bassheads and still good for playing games like PUBGm, so far I'm still confused between Soundpeats H1, Jabra Elite 2, Jabra Elite 3, and Tozo T12 Pro, which one do you think is the most suitable for me? Or do you have any other tws suggestions? Thank You
The hiss could just be from enabling background sound on the app. Otherwise, press the left ear bud to get rid of that. Software is different and updated nowadays
I bought these because I wanted a cheap earbuds (I use expensive headphones, but I wanted cheap earbuds for convenience) The sound is good, but I dont recommend them at all. The hissing is absolutely terrible Edit: Turned off hear through and its fine. Im very happy with my purchase
I bought a pair. Heavy user, including overnight. Worked very well, although connection to Android phone and MacBook would drop-out fairly often. They stopped connecting completely after less than 6 months. Followed all steps recommended by Jabra including resetting, no solution.
Should have watched this video BEFORE purchasing a pair. Didn't realize that there's a hissing noise until I watched this video. As described in the video it can only be heard clearly when the volume is low and when you put them in the ears before starting to play sound. Hissing disappears ~30 seconds after playback stops, and starts again as soon as playback starts. I've updated to the latest firmware and the issue is still there. Considering for how long these have been out now, it must be a hardware issue since they have not fixed it through firmware updates. Never had a pair of earbuds where you can hear a static noise this clearly, feels like a constant ringing sound in the ears.
Same charging problem happened just after 1 month. Then contacted customer service and asked to return the device for warranty replacement. Received new one today.
I recently bought these TWS earbuds, and I didn’t experience any hissing sound like you mentioned. I think they might have fixed it with a software update. I'm really enjoying the sound quality of these TWS earbuds, but they don’t offer the best secure fit that's the only issue I'm facing.
You are not unlucky I had the same issue with my buds not charging my right bud, rendering it and the pair useless. Its well documented out there this happens to a lot of users. They should be rated down for this issue. Mine are 8 months old. im going for a new pair with the best case and longest warranty, sound quality second priority....sad reality
I received my elite 3 yesterday and I'm already facing the same issue with the dead left earbud. Update: After following the instructions given by the online support my issue was solved. Hoping it stays that way...
Hey Mark, I want to get some wireless earbuds. I have been looking at your videos and they help a lot but I am not sure what to buy. THERE ARE SO MANY! What are your thoughts? Your awesome, keep going.
How would these differ from the sound quality of the Active elite 75t? I've had those before and sound great. If these Jabra elite 3 sound almost as good as the 75t, I'm going to get a pair, sound is all I care about mostly really..
Wait, don't these have aptx? It says everywhere that they do, that's the low latency mode, isn't it?! I'm looking to buy these (2 year warranty so I'm not worried about potential dead units), and in my country they are not considered cheap, in fact I consider airpods and equivalents insanely overpriced since they cost as much as a mid range phone. If these are only good for music and podcasts, I'll save my money because I already have laggy wireless buds.
Try the new firmware available for elite 3 and now there is graphic equaliser custom settings and there is no hiss sound so give it a shot I have purchased elite 3 and none of the problem which you mention I have experience and have returned SoundCore life p3 for their worst firing design
I might consider the hear through mode hissing ... but Im not sure that's what you mean because in the basic mode, I don't hear anything I would consider a hiss. My first pair of earbuds though ... so im newbie to this.
I just got mine today and it definitely does have hiss I actually didn't notice the first time i used them though, theyre really comfortable otherwise.
I am looking for earbuds for calling. I am on calls atleast for 4-5 hours a day. I have people around me on calls too... My clients complain there is a lot of background noise (people talking on calls) Which earbuds should I go for calling and music (secondary) in budget of $100... With stem or without stem . Which one would be better?? Thank you..
Imo theyre good for this price. Ive only had mine for a week they havent died yet lol Things id like to mention 1: i think the hiss you hear is the hear through mode. The option in the ap that lets you hear the environment around you. It really sucks idk if its the poor quality mic that producing the constant hiss but i hear it too if that mode is on. 2: the sound quality for music is good and clear but the bass isnt that great for jabra tbh when it comes to the bass and tremble id give it a 6/10 if you dont try mess w ur spotify settings to make it better, and im being nice. 3: i have issues when taking calls, v poor call quality and i hear hisses it breaks off sometimes and i cant hear the person or the person cant hear me, this is constant. 4: when i first paired them i had connection issues but reseting them helped now i have no issues. EDOT: he is right abt the hiss, its very faint but its there 😭
Mark I'm starting to wonder if you have ultra sensitive ears, in the past you mentioned hiss on a pair of buds from Soundcore, I'm yet to discover the hiss with those or these...
hello, when we use the headphones one by one, is it possible to increase - decrease the volume, to switch to the next - previous song, regardless of right or left. In my second question, while I am using one of the earphones, can my brother use the other earphone on another device? Finally, do the earphones hurt because they are not woven?
thanks for letting me know about the issues you experienced.m. ill def skip these. Luckly i have never had this issue with any earbuds ive ever owned. You should have spoke about this issue way before talking for 10 mins
Hissing problem still available. I've been using it for 2 days, the hissing sound is really loud on the right earbud, even though it's low on the left earbuds. All updates available. It can be a deformed product, I will request a product replacement.
I just bought the Jabra 75t and I can confirm that the "Static Hissing" sound is annoying af!!! My last bluetooth headphones cost around $15 usd & they had no problems with bluetooth connectivity, especially when you try to lower and raise the volume.😐 Honestly, the one video I didn't watch was the one that could've saved me from a minor nuisance.
Okay. I have them and I haven't had any of your issues. I'm updating my first comment. They work great cause I use them mostly with my laptop and I move around in my house and no problem hearing what I'm listening too.

Was looking at buying these at my Harvey Norman retail, but glad I heard your review about the dreaded hiss. Turned me off buying these and appreciate your recommendations. I have Jabra Link head phones which are awesome, which is why I looked at Jabra earbuds. What a shame.
Great reviews and easy to listen to you.
Cheers
Jabra long solved that hissing problem.
Jabra elite 3s are amazing. Problem fixed. I use them almost daily and the ANC works like a charm.
@@MissleT0E They don't have ANC
Tbh its very faint i didnt even notice before this video and now its annyoing 😂
@@viktorcsanyi726not rly i just got mine n i hear it 😭
I wonder if these issues have been fixed with Jabra Elite 3, since I'm not having the problem you mentioned regarding hissing or any sort of hardware failure. The sound quality is great and they have features that I can't get when pairing airBuds to my Android phone.
Idk cause I just (literally) bought a pair and the hiss and bad audio quality is really bad in my opinion. Maybe some ppl just get lucky???
Just got mine yesterday. No hissing. Not dead yet… Love ‘em
how are they holding up?
@@JoshuaJ61 After about a year, Had the left bud die... through the warranty I got a new set and so far so good. Only down side is the singular paring to a blue tooth device. I'm constantly unpairing from iPad to pair to phone and vise versa.
@@michaelinmotion thanks
Have you experienced the same hissing noise with the Jabra Elite 7 Pro? I just returned my Elite 3s after 6 months because they failed on me. I loved the form factor so am considering the more premium product to (hopefully) resolve a lot of my gripes with the 3s.
All the jabra earbuds I have ever owned fail in the left ear after 3 to 4 months. That is 5 pairs of 65t 75t and 75t active. Great sound great features but they all die after weeks or at best months.
I totally agree, only as far as the 65t’s (got two)… but the active 75t (2 of those) have been spectacularly working well.
Дело не в наушниках. Просто ты неудачник. Прости.
10:13 I saw your video that was very helpful still today I went to the croma store and purchase elite 3, before starting using I read complete user guide from Jabra
Before I played the very first music I noticed that hiss sound, I thought it was because of fan and still same thing I heard.
Then I realise while reading user manual they mentioned there is feature called HearThrough that is by default ON with the product.
So I checked the manually and I turn it off and believe me that hiss sound has gone , same option is available in Jabra app also even i saw that in your video as well.
That's the reason may be nowhere you find any article regarding this issue.
It's not fault it's feature that enables surroundings.
kardeşim bu mikrofonlarin herhangi bir sesi kulağımıza verebilmesi için sürekli açık durmasından kaynaklanır bu mikrofon dip sesidir
There is no audio hiss on these, I've used it on my desktop, MacBook Pro, iPhone 13, and GalaxyBook 2 Pro on music, movies, and podcasts. I think you have the hearthrough mode on mate.
9:52 all you need to know.
Holy crap you’re still alive!! Missed your reviews, only so many times you can watch the same vid 🤓. Quick question for ya, I know you used to sing the praises of the XM3 buds, would you still say the same today? Kinda torn between them and the Edifier Neobuds Pro.. any thoughts? Especially now the XM3s are down to £130 or less.
I would go wiith soundcore liberty 3 pro ngl
I just bought these and I'm glad to say that there's no hiss whatsoever. Maybe newer batch? Or newer firmware? Or both? Kind regards.
I have a problem with the 2 that the left side won’t connect without the right side. I lost the right side yesterday and now I can’t even use them.
On my iPhone Bluetooth, I pressed "forget Jabra Elite 3",
but now, I can't find it again, and can't connect it with my Bluetooth.
How do I connect it with my Jabra Elite 3, because it won't find it again.
Looking for an all-round tws but more towards bassheads and still good for playing games like PUBGm, so far I'm still confused between Soundpeats H1, Jabra Elite 2, Jabra Elite 3, and Tozo T12 Pro, which one do you think is the most suitable for me? Or do you have any other tws suggestions? Thank You
The hissing noise is only there when the hearthrough feature is active.
The hiss could just be from enabling background sound on the app. Otherwise, press the left ear bud to get rid of that. Software is different and updated nowadays
I bought these because I wanted a cheap earbuds (I use expensive headphones, but I wanted cheap earbuds for convenience) The sound is good, but I dont recommend them at all. The hissing is absolutely terrible
Edit: Turned off hear through and its fine. Im very happy with my purchase
I bought a pair. Heavy user, including overnight. Worked very well, although connection to Android phone and MacBook would drop-out fairly often. They stopped connecting completely after less than 6 months. Followed all steps recommended by Jabra including resetting, no solution.
jabra seems the have that problem on ALL of their headphones. i had 75t and my friend had 65t and they both have left earbud dying on us....
Should have watched this video BEFORE purchasing a pair. Didn't realize that there's a hissing noise until I watched this video. As described in the video it can only be heard clearly when the volume is low and when you put them in the ears before starting to play sound. Hissing disappears ~30 seconds after playback stops, and starts again as soon as playback starts.
I've updated to the latest firmware and the issue is still there.
Considering for how long these have been out now, it must be a hardware issue since they have not fixed it through firmware updates.
Never had a pair of earbuds where you can hear a static noise this clearly, feels like a constant ringing sound in the ears.
I bought mine 2 days ago, and they're working fine. I must be one of the lucky ones. Do you know if they connect to multiple devices at the same time?
Just got a firmware update on these now you have an equalizer settings aswell
Hello, I'm here to ask you if the new pairs of Jabra Elite 3 work fine till this day or they broke like the first onces you got ?
can individual buds be used to make phone calls? In other words, do they have microphone in both buds? Thanks.
Yes both ear buds have a microphone, any of them can be used individually for phone calls
Same charging problem happened just after 1 month. Then contacted customer service and asked to return the device for warranty replacement. Received new one today.
My left bud did the exact same thing, I've owned them 4 months. They were elite 4 active.
i just want earbuds that have very high life battery and good sound quality for music / discord calls, what would you recommend? 😁
I recently bought these TWS earbuds, and I didn’t experience any hissing sound like you mentioned. I think they might have fixed it with a software update. I'm really enjoying the sound quality of these TWS earbuds, but they don’t offer the best secure fit that's the only issue I'm facing.
Hey Mark, your links are labeled Sony Wf1000xm4 by the way. The links are good.
You are not unlucky I had the same issue with my buds not charging my right bud, rendering it and the pair useless. Its well documented out there this happens to a lot of users. They should be rated down for this issue. Mine are 8 months old. im going for a new pair with the best case and longest warranty, sound quality second priority....sad reality
Having problems with the Jabra 75t since day 2.
I received my elite 3 yesterday and I'm already facing the same issue with the dead left earbud.
Update: After following the instructions given by the online support my issue was solved. Hoping it stays that way...
How did you get help? Asking just in case it happens to mine
how were you able to fix it? help please been having the same issue
Any chance you can provide us with the instructions here in the comment field to help others out?
I bought the plugs 5 days ago and I have the hssssss. It makes me crazy and they will go back to the store today.
Hey Mark, I want to get some wireless earbuds. I have been looking at your videos and they help a lot but I am not sure what to buy. THERE ARE SO MANY! What are your thoughts? Your awesome, keep going.
Great review I agree 100% I just bought them and this was spot on.
Great review! May I know where did you buy your glasses from? Thanks
Had the same problem left earbud went dead after two weeks with the Jabra Elite 75 t
Is this comfortable in bed? I have the Jabra elite active 65t and it's not comfortable at all. I normally listen to podcasts before sleeping
How would these differ from the sound quality of the Active elite 75t? I've had those before and sound great.
If these Jabra elite 3 sound almost as good as the 75t, I'm going to get a pair, sound is all I care about mostly really..
Wait, don't these have aptx? It says everywhere that they do, that's the low latency mode, isn't it?!
I'm looking to buy these (2 year warranty so I'm not worried about potential dead units), and in my country they are not considered cheap, in fact I consider airpods and equivalents insanely overpriced since they cost as much as a mid range phone. If these are only good for music and podcasts, I'll save my money because I already have laggy wireless buds.
No real hiss detected on mine really like these and recommend them.
Try the new firmware available for elite 3 and now there is graphic equaliser custom settings and there is no hiss sound so give it a shot I have purchased elite 3 and none of the problem which you mention I have experience and have returned SoundCore life p3 for their worst firing design
Had the same probpem with the left bud on a pair of jabra 75t elite. Loved them to death. literaly.
I might consider the hear through mode hissing ... but Im not sure that's what you mean because in the basic mode, I don't hear anything I would consider a hiss. My first pair of earbuds though ... so im newbie to this.
Would you recommend this earbuds or the anker Soundcore liberty 2?
Bro please review jabra 7 pro and review what different Sound quality for new jabra and old jabra ,,,,,,bass also 🙏🙏🙏
Haven't had any hiss and no issues with them at all. I feel like you have very isolated issues here
Ive had the same issues when taking calls
The hiss hes hearing is because hes got the hear through mode on
I've had the same hissing issue. I think your hearing is not that good anymore or yours isnt defective
Thanks for the video… sticking with my Jabra Active 75t.
U can reduce the his by double clicking one of the buds....thats the microphone
I think you got another bad pair because my pair doesn't hiss...only bad thing to me is they could be a little louder...
I just got mine today and it definitely does have hiss I actually didn't notice the first time i used them though, theyre really comfortable otherwise.
How would you rate these against the Anker p3 ? I don't care about anc . Strictly for sound quality.?
That's my exact question too. I love my music and I couldn't care less for anything except the sound quality and ear fit.
just got the jabra elite 3 for 40$ on sale. looking forward to using them
Mark, have you tested the EarFun Free Pro 2? Which one would you choose between these to models Jabra 3 or EarFun Free Pro 2?
Nice video! Can you adjust the volume of the mic. People keep telling that it's difficult to hear me over calls.
The RGB fans in the background look like Lois from family guy
I am looking for earbuds for calling. I am on calls atleast for 4-5 hours a day. I have people around me on calls too... My clients complain there is a lot of background noise (people talking on calls)
Which earbuds should I go for calling and music (secondary) in budget of $100...
With stem or without stem . Which one would be better??
Thank you..
NEW! they now have an eq, i just bought yesterday, and the hissing is minimal
I am soooooo first this time! :D Great stuff!
you win this time!
Amazing quality review!
Imo theyre good for this price. Ive only had mine for a week they havent died yet lol
Things id like to mention
1: i think the hiss you hear is the hear through mode. The option in the ap that lets you hear the environment around you. It really sucks idk if its the poor quality mic that producing the constant hiss but i hear it too if that mode is on.
2: the sound quality for music is good and clear but the bass isnt that great for jabra tbh when it comes to the bass and tremble id give it a 6/10 if you dont try mess w ur spotify settings to make it better, and im being nice.
3: i have issues when taking calls, v poor call quality and i hear hisses it breaks off sometimes and i cant hear the person or the person cant hear me, this is constant.
4: when i first paired them i had connection issues but reseting them helped now i have no issues.
EDOT: he is right abt the hiss, its very faint but its there 😭
Mark I'm starting to wonder if you have ultra sensitive ears, in the past you mentioned hiss on a pair of buds from Soundcore, I'm yet to discover the hiss with those or these...
had mine for over a year and the right earbud now has random static/white noise every few seconds
On my older jabber's, the left stop too.
What do you recommend instead of these for the same price? Hiss is just an instant no buy for me
hello, when we use the headphones one by one, is it possible to increase - decrease the volume, to switch to the next - previous song, regardless of right or left. In my second question, while I am using one of the earphones, can my brother use the other earphone on another device? Finally, do the earphones hurt because they are not woven?
Can you use this one earbud only? Does the left and the right usable at once?
My right buds is dead too just used a week….
thanks for letting me know about the issues you experienced.m. ill def skip these. Luckly i have never had this issue with any earbuds ive ever owned. You should have spoke about this issue way before talking for 10 mins
Hissing problem still available. I've been using it for 2 days, the hissing sound is really loud on the right earbud, even though it's low on the left earbuds. All updates available. It can be a deformed product, I will request a product replacement.
Which one would be better Sony WF-C500 or Jabra Elite 3?
I've got a distinct hiss on my elite 3s which I bought today. Will be exchanging them for some c500s
I just bought the Jabra 75t and I can confirm that the "Static Hissing" sound is annoying af!!!
My last bluetooth headphones cost around $15 usd & they had no problems with bluetooth connectivity, especially when you try to lower and raise the volume.😐
Honestly, the one video I didn't watch was the one that could've saved me from a minor nuisance.
Compared to soundpeats H1 which one is better in term of sound quality?
So what are you buying?
I bought the soundpeats H1 and pretty satisfied with the sound quality
Did you try for hiss on different devices?
Okay. I have them and I haven't had any of your issues. I'm updating my first comment. They work great cause I use them mostly with my laptop and I move around in my house and no problem hearing what I'm listening too.
IV had my elites 3 for a good 7 mouths still Goodin good 👍
