SOUND
aptX is awesome, but that does not necessarily equate to great sound
Hissing sound?
Strangely, the bass feels dull (yet prominent)
Fun with bassy lift to make music more exciting.
Especially good for workouts, but not as overpowering as the 75t buds

![[Compared] EVERY Jabra True Wireless Earbuds!](/img/tr.png)
So what do you think of these earbuds? Can they actually replace the flagships? What would new flagships need to do to keep ahead of these?
Hey
Dude keep up with those earphones content....by far the best at it
compared to galaxy buds 2, would u recommend this instead?
Can't wait to see a review of the Jabra elite 7 pro that comes out in like a week. How will they compare to Sony XM4?
still waiting for a video from someone who can make "top 5 earbuds for gaming (low latency)"
Wow, I didn't expect that outdoors microphone test to sound that good!
Pretty good, right? I am excited to see how the Elite Pro 7 sounds
@@MikeOBrienMedia bro can you help me to chose which is best in audio quality, my option is Galaxy buds+ and Jabra elite 3. I had to search for comparison about the tws but i didnt found it, can you tell me which is better.
@@megumin858 Did you find out?
@@jasontodd6248 yeah, finally buds+ is best for budget people cause it have many feature like fast charging, long battrey life, sounds quality too, and good mic quality. but if you have a lot of money I recomend buds pro for the best experience under 150$.
I was thinking the same!
Your reviews are really good. To the point, clear and covers what matters to us 👏👏👏👏 Wish you lots of success👍👍👍.
Facts
As an owner of the 65 and 75 I am actually glad they left out the proximity sensor. On the other hand the switching between devices I will miss. Thanks for the review.
Finally the mono mode!! Ear detection is an unwanted feature compared to being able to use either bud solo!!
Man!! That outdoor test was EPIC!!
I just got this and i was not expecting such a good level of quality overall for this price. I love the sound quality for audiobooks and spotify or talk radio. This is a great buy.
I just bought this, mostly for podcasts and audiobook and the hissing is especially annoying for this purpose. Doesn't it bother you?
@@JechtNH what hissing ? Mine is absolutely silent. I use it with Audible, with Art Bell classic talk radio on the coast to coast am site, spotify and youtube.
All through Ipad Pro or through my three year old Xiomi android smartphone..
Mostly i play it through my ipad pro.
I couldnt be happier with the buy. I dont get why some people mention hissing even on reviews because i sure dont get any.
I have zero issues so far and i dont plan to buy any more phones anytime soon. 😎👍😁
@@JechtNH Just received these as a gift. Mostly use for podcasts. No hissing.......or maybe my hearing is bad. Loving the Jabra Elite 3
Love your reviews, one of the best ones out there. I have been using Jabra Elite Active 75t since Jabra released them, and my experience matches it. I find other reviews wary in facts.
Thanks for mentioning the hissing sound, so many reviews just ignore it. I noticed it too, but these fit really securely and I love the physical buttons.
LOVE: great sound quality, Call quality, hear-through, fit, aesthetics, L/R independent.
AGNOSTIC: no wear detection, no ANC.
DEAL-BREAKER (when compared to other Jabra TWS): No Multi-Point pairing.
Watching/listening to this with my Jabra Elite 3. Thanks for the awesome review Mike!🙏
Thank you for this review!
Hey, Mike. How are the Elite 3 when compared with Elite 75t?
You could eliminate the HISS sound by turning off the "HearThrough" feature, it's dead quite, the hiss only exists when the the "HearThrough" is on and it's gone when the music is on. Not a big deal for me as a music lover, other features on Jabra 3 is killer like the 4 mic for online meeting is sufficient! I'm a bass player and a recording artist, I love the music sound on Jabra 3 well balanced! I'm happy with my purchase for daily use.
Thanks for the great review.
I was going for 75t, But man these just Sound much better budget wise, thanks for a great review as usual 👍
Glad you liked the video!
Finally a good review that also tells me the controls :D
great review thank you
So calm and such nice explanation
This video influenced me to buy the jabra 3s . From my experience with them there is two major take away. One is , they sound amazing, I was truly impressed with the audio quality. The white noise is there but you do get used to it after a while. The biggest drawback and the main reason why I returned them was due to the Bluetooth connectivity. When alone or in light traffic they connect and work properly but when in a crowded room with multiple BT devices turned on (ie a gym) they start to cut off and on. The only solution was holding my phone close to my chest to maintain a good connection. Other than that, these are a really good earbud but it does have some drawbacks.
I've been rocking jabras since there inception. They are hands down the best and one of the first bluetooth earliest out there. They are legit the only ones that fit my ear when working out.
Is it good? I have been thinking of bying the jabra elite 3
I really believe Jabra makes the best overall earbud. I had the Elite 3 for a little bit and I sent them back only because I'm going to get the Elite 7 Pro but the microphones were excellent. The Jabra is just the everyday get it done earbud. No thrills. No extra unnecessary features just basic get the job done.
How much they are comfortable
.. Can we wear for 3-4 hours without any discomfort or not
@@Navjotchahal55 I wear my elite 75 for 8 hours.
Even without sound I justkeep them in on heartrough setting so I can hear my suroundings.
True man, I used 75t and 85h (headphones) very good for microphones, use it Wirelessly for calls and are damn good and so the value for money is also decent and not overpriced
@@laks2804 does jabra will compete with noise cancellation with airpods pro or not
@@Navjotchahal55 in case of ANC, only the 75t and 85t has it, it has decent ANC but not equivalent to AirPods Pro but the ambient sound is quite good and the mics is the best from jabras always , but anc I would rate them slightly less than AirPods Pro as if like 70-80% of AirPods Pro anc but u need factor in the price also
whoaa mind blown on outdoor test !! Amazing !!
Best review thank you.💝
Thank you for your kind words
The bar has definitely been raised on the TWS market. From "budget" to mid-tier offerings from Soundpeats, 1More, Altec, Jlab, etc. I have tested most and I've got to tell you that it's getting harder to tell which one is best in class. I do wonder what's the next step for the big names like Sony, Bose, Yamaha, B&O, etc. in order to justify buds at premium prices.
They don't need a justification. People will always buy because they feel they can easily trust that the quality will be good
Good job Mike I bought these today because of your review
Hi Mike! Thanks for the review. I got the elite 3, but The hissing sound was a deal breaker for me so I had to return them. Do the elite 4 active hiss as well? I'm considering them as a replacement.
Thanks!
Okay, but how useful is the multi-pairing feature? I'm honestly considering getting a pair of Jabra and I'm debating if Elite 3 is a better bang for my buck than 75t or not
Hey @Mike, How do they fare compared to Jabra Elite 75t ? The prices for both are pretty much similar here in India
Call quality is just amazing in Jabra Elite 3! great 😍
I'll be curious to know what you think about the touch buttons on the Elite 7 Active vs. the physical buttons on the Elite pro. It made more sense to add the physical buttons to the work out model for people wearing gloves.
I should update this. The elite 7 active buds do have physical buttons. I'm experiencing a bunch of other issues so I'm not keeping them but the buttons are not an issue.
I've been waiting for this video. 😁
I hope you liked it
Just bought a pair, looking forward to trying them out myself!
Is there a hissing sound as he mentioned?
What is difference between Elite single digit series( Elite 3 & 7 ) and Elite double digit series (Elite 65T,75T & 85T) ?
are they made for different segments ? Please enlighten us on this
Coming from the 65t, 65t active, and 75t active, I really look forward to these.
Ive bought those as they have great ratings on most trusted review sites. Still had to send them back as they were hissing A LOT. Listening to podcasts or music on lower volume was just really bad experience with those. On reddit there are many people with same experience as i had, so is it BT technology limitation or just "sensitive ears"?
Mic test sounded amazing 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
For anyone who has these is the hissing sound a big issue or do you not have it?
Hey Mike, I just discovered your channel. Your content is top-notch. Are you planning to review the Jabra elite 4 active? I want to know if the weird sound from the elite 3s is gone.
I have a headset with APTX, and I will move on to one that only has SBC and AAC. With my current headphones (APTX) I do not feel any latency on UA-cam and Netflix, because at the beginning, you can see that the delay is fixed and the audio and video are perfectly synchronized, now my concern is that I do not know if the new ones with (SBC and AAC) have this quality. Does anyone know if the ones with SBC and AAC also fix their audio and video synchronization? Or is this feature clearly one of those that have APTX?
Bought these today for $83 NZD as a rugged alternative to be B&O EQ which are $780 NZD. Very impressed. With my EQ I was always afraid that I’d leave them somewhere or Break them at work.
What is eq?
Is there a hissing in your model like he mentioned?
Hello. May I ask if this works well with apple? I read that they don’t have AAC. Would this still be functional with apple?
So now that we know that jabra can add active noise canceling with an update like they did with their higher models, do we expect them to do the same with the elite 3? Or would that make their higher models less desirable
Probably not
Mike, is the silicone eartip the same as the 75t? Because it looks like it. I have the 75t and love the fit unlike the different 85t fit
Thanks Mike.
Waiting for the best earbuds video under $100 for sure 👍🏼👍🏼
I like wearing one earbud sometimes too. I really wish you could customize BOTH earbuds the way you wanted.
Jabra killed the bass by sharpering the earpiece. I`m returning the elite7P today to best buy. I also tried momentum 2 but neither works for me. The 75T had a great mids and clean highs.
Hope you can post a comparision video between Jabra Elite 3 and Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro.
Rocking then after good research. The case is easy to scratch, get case cover. Great sound looks and better than my skull candy Indy Evo. Made me move to Jabra and glad I picked them.
I bought these today did notice the hissing but doesn't bother me they still sound great.
Here not for the earbuds but for the jacket you’re wearing. I love the jacket in green colour. 😃
I do have hissing on 85T, but only during zoom sessions when nobody talks. Have not noticed it during musing or regular phone calls.
Hi Mike!!! Thanks for your review.
Can you suggest between 75t and elite 3. Both are in same price range in India right now.
75t has edge over Elite 3 for multiple connections and ANC.
But my question is sound quality or we can say Codec support. Elite 3 is getting Aptx support and as for as i know 75t doesn't support that.
So, how much it will make difference based on codec support I am using Android mobile.
(in simple words, which sounds better?)
Thanks!!!
P.S.: You are great in reviewing by using simple words and to the point.
Bhai, which ones did you go for eventually? I am also looking for buds z2 but they have overly sensitive proximity sensor as per customer reviews on amazon.
@@cruze7778 mere bhai try the 75t it's very good if your getting same price, if your getting the elite 3 for cheaper then they are very reliable and value filled
The issue with button controls at this price is that it gets expensive to get a high IPXX rating compared to touch controls.
did u tried turning off the hearthrough to remove the hissing sound, maybe its because of its hearthrough feature
Hello, Mike: I'm looking at reviews on Amazon and I'm reading one that leaves me concerned. It mentions a constant hissing sound - a huge amount of white noise - even when the earphones are not connected to any device, which, they say, renders the product practically unusable. They returned it and asked for a replacement, and the replacement has the exact same problem. You didn't notice issue whatsoever? Thanks! (EDIT: Nevermind, i just got to the part where you mention it! ^^')
Just got a firmware update on these now you have an equalizer settings aswell
you can use left earbudz only?
Mike which one would you choose between the Jabra 3 and EarFun Free Pro 2? Thank you!!
I've been enjoying your reviews. I am currently looking for wireless earbuds that I can listen to audiobooks outside or on the bus without reaching ear-splitting volumes just to hear it and not to fall out while walking. I do like the fact your reviews seem to cover all aspects we're looking for when getting earbuds.. including the sound using the mic for phonecalls.
I dont see any voice assistant settings in the settings page of the app. Just to make sure the Elite 3 has voice assistance right? Please help me here because I really want to get Alexa as my voice assistant and there is no place to change that.
great call quality!
how to pair this with macbook?
Jabra elite 3- can individual buds be used to make phone calls? In other words, do they have microphone in both buds? Thanks.
Bought a pair today for £49, after a few years of hearing good things about Jabra buds I was waiting for a pair to fall into a price range I'm comfortable spending.
These are OK sound is good, comfort is good and bass is OK!
Volume is average, I want them to go louder.
But for me I still prefer a good set of cans, bass is heavy and volume is higher.
Wouldn't pay full price for these but at a discount they're worth a punt.
@Mike O'Brien - am fond of buying this.. my priority is Good music with less/no bass.. especially good call quality ..most important longevity as Jabra supports 2yrs warranty.. Your reply will be helpful
The Mic sounds fantastic.
did you had any problem like hissing sound when you are not playing music in Jabra elite 3
Hi Mike, any news/review of the Jabra Elite 7 Active or 7 Pro?
Do they work separately in mono form? I can use the right one while the left is charging and vise-versa?
How does the mic quality of this compare against the older Samsung Galaxy Buds+?
Awesome vdo.....👍
Kindly do a vdo about souncore liberty pro 3.....
I generally need earbuds with hooks, like Bose has, to keep them in place. In the gym, any sort of bench exercises will have loose buds popping out. Anyone with experience can speak to that particular issue?
yes i have the same experience.. by the way I had the jabra elite active 65t and always rocking them at the gym.. when im doing bench press, or dumbel press. i feel the sound from buds getting low and about to popping outta my ear.. maybe it's because my ear doing like u know "contraction" while benching..
i think elite 3 with smaller form factor will fix that kinda problem.. lmk
With the app can u customize the sound? Add more bass
Well, I've bought them to use with my Ipad Mini 6 mainly (youtube, youtube music, netflix), but tried them with Google Pixel 4 out of curiosity as well (to evaluate the difference about aptx here)
What can I say - rather disappointed due to some reasons:
1. Sound is just decent, not gorgeous by any means, but for this price range it's perfectly fine except for the one crucial thing = maximum volume achievable!
It's just not enough at all, especially when you are in the public transport or on the noisy street....
Therefore, I tend to use this Jabra Elite 3 for music listening or even movie watching 90% of the time indoors in the relatively quiet surrounding, and only 10% of the time outdoors somewhere in the city park, but definitely not on the crowdy street with traffic!
(for calls it's ok even on the street, but not for music listening...)
And they do provide good noise isolation, but just maximum volume is still too low for serious street usage as headset for the music listening for your understanding!
2. Noticeable lags, so when you are watching netflix or youtube, there are some annoying non-synchronous latency between the video and the sound occurs, alas, it's my main complaint actually!
Yeah, and by the way, the sound quality with aptx on Android here only a little bit better by the hair than without aptx on IOS, obviously 6mm drivers just cannot provide enough benefits from aptx present I would say...
The overall conclusion - if You're really about the quality sound for music lovers, then Jabra Pro 7 or older model aka Jabra 85t would be the much much better and preferable choice for sure if You're ok with the much higher cost of course!
Otherwise, If You need these Elite 3 for phone calls mainly and music or videos just occasionally - it's ok, and even could be claimed as the best option available on the market for the money they cost and considering perfect in-ear ergonomics, good mics, battery life and decent sound quality
Great review. Thanks Mike. I'm sad Jabra droped the dual device connection. Unfortunatelly thats a deal breaker to me. I'll wait for the ANC version and hope they will have them. That is the main reason I love the 75ts. But it's time to upgrade.
Elite 7 Pro comes out in like a week
Get some Sony's. Definitely more expensive but worth it imo.
I got them 2 days ago and they are very good
Would you say these are better than the 75t for workouts?
Sound, design, comfort were good, but the constant hiss made me send them back within a few days (Sony C500s also had the same issue)
Sound excellent...
hi Mike i was watching your videos and i Heard that you wanted to do a video about the best earbuds between 80 and 120$ in a couple of weeks.
Since i want some earbuds could you suggest me the best over all (i Will only use them for walking, working and some exercise and i have an android)
the hissing cut it for me, my ears get very sensitive from the hissing, i was so convinced but as soon as i heard you say it has hissing i bottled
You really have to make a video on real budget earbuds like the Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 or the soundpeats truengine 3 SE which are fantastics
Very good review by the way
what do you think, buds live or jabra elite 3 for iphone ?
Does it work well pairing to Laptop , zoom calls ?
which one should I buy: the jabra elite 3 or soundcore A1?
Very nice review as usual. I’m waiting for the apple air pod pros 2 up date there model. Would love the apple ones in black or navy . I’ve the white nearly 2 years it’s the best I also got the liberty pro 3 from Anker they are nice but would not have the volume that apple has 😎💯🇮🇪
Finally some ear buds with only a transparency mode. I don't need ANC and don't want to pay $50 more for it
Agreed. I get lost with all these functions on one button and not really hear the difference.
How do I connect to more than one device? It connects to my s10e, but not my s7. Thanks.
I can’t wait for your review of the elite 7 pro. Please do one!!!
That video is definitely coming!
You will be disappointed! I only had them for a day because of low volume, bad bass and overall my 75 active elite are superior in almost every aspect!
Which one should I get these ones or soundpeats t2?
Excellent earphones for the price. Impressive sound.
Which ones are better the Jabra Elite 85t or these?
Thank you
Maybe you can test the call quality in busy restaurant with people chatting in the background. The problem that I always have, is that the earbuds pick up the voice at the background and it kinda annoying to the people in the call. Especially when I am in the concall meeting.
I would have liked a comparison with the Soundcore Life P3, Edifier Neo Buds Pro, Earfun Air Pro 2 and Sennheiser Cx which are all somewhat in the same price range.
On the other hand, the microphones in the phone call seem really good.
I am returning the Jabra elite 3 for the elite 75 t and which sounds much better to me although the microphone for calls works great on the elite 3 but I personally buy headphones for sound quality and if someone call I ask to hang on and I get the call through the speakerphone...
Just curious... Are you going to do the new WYZE BUDS and WYZE BUDS PRO?
Nice jacket! try to wear maroon, white or lighter colour tshirt. Layering would look great!
