Jabra Elite Active 65t review

Take Alexa for a run

Alexa built-in ; Customizable sound ; Built-in accelerometer

No heartrate tracking

While it lacks the more advanced fitness tracking of the Elite Sport earbuds, the Jabra Elite Active 65t appear to strike a decent balance between features and price, while including the same great sound quality we’ve come to expect from Jabra’s true...

Jabra Elite Active 65t review

Great-sounding wireless in-ears that are all but unbeatable for exercise

Outstanding connection ; Impressively detailed audio ; Snug fit ; Completely sweat-proof

Accelerometers can play up ; Alexa integration could be better ; Quite large ; Can become uncomfortable after extended use

Great-sounding wireless buds, for in and out of the gym, but a few usability niggles keep them from being perfect

The Jabra Elite Active 65t earbuds are tough enough for the usual splashing of sweat during a workout or when you are caught in the rain.

Jabra Elite Active 65t review

Reliable connection ; Excellent noise isolation ; Focused, balanced sound ; Good battery life ; Sweatproof

Small amount of connection noise ; Fairly tight fit

With the new Elita Active 65t, Jabra makes a great thing even better. In terms of both versatility and performance, these are the best fully wireless headphones you can buy.

Jabra Elite Active 65t

The wire-free Jabra Elite Active 65t earphones are built for exercise, with secure-fitting earpieces that deliver powerful bass that can be adjusted to your liking.

Powerful bass and sculpted highs. Customizable EQ. Dust- and moisture-resistant design. Secure in-ear fit. Counts steps.

Auto-pair process can be cumbersome, with only one earpiece pairing at times. Not for purists seeking accurate audio.

You have to hand it to Jabra—the company has invested in an app that works with multiple models of its headphones, and it's the rare case in which the app actually improves the user experience to a notable degree. In the case of the Jabra Elite Active...

Jabra Elite Active 65t: Better sound than AirPods, for a bit more money

The sporty version of Jabra's already wireless earphones have a few extras that put it over the top.

The Jabra Active Elite 65t are fully sweat-resistant truly wireless earphones that fit comfortably and securely. They sound excellent, perform reliably and are great for making calls, with two microphones in each earpiece. Battery life is decent at 5...

The relatively tight, noise-isolating fit isn't for everyone. Motion sensor doesn't have much use at this point.

The Jabra Active Elite 65t truly wireless earphones are the best alternative to Apple's AirPods, but the stepdown non-Elite model will save you a bit of cash.

Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless Review

The Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless are versatile in-ears with a lightweight, breathable, and portable design. They're similarly designed to the Jabra Elit...

Sturdy, IP56-rated build. Very low leakage. Compact, lightweight design. Good companion app with graphic EQ. Great passive noise isolation. Breathable, stable fit. Multi-device pairing capability.

Not as comfortable for all users. High Bluetooth latency. Short continuous battery life. Mediocre microphone noise handling capability. Closed-off soundstage.

The Jabra Elite Active 65t are satisfactory for neutral sound. They have a slightly overemphasized bass that might sound boomy and muddy but is ultimately quite well-balanced. Their reasonably flat mid-range should result in full-bodied and clear...
