*CORRECTION* The Jabra Elite 3 support SBC & AptX. Not SBC & AAC. My apologies!
is jabra elite 3 did good on ios? since they dont have aac
What is the deal between AptX and AAC? Clarity? File size?
My elite 3's just got a update it now it has a 5 band eq
Me too ,always choose sony
always sony
Your direct approach to explain things is really great. Thanks for all the information and discernment of features
The comparison I've been waiting for. Thanks!
I literally searched for it
Yup, this solidifies my choice on the Jabra. Thanks again 👊🏾
Great review, thanks for taking the time 🙏
Thank you for the thoughtful review. Very helpful when I was making a purchasing decision.
i like your review style, no non-sense, straight to the points, kudos, thanks man!
Same here. I like the example of microphone quality between the two. Other reviews don't usually do that, and that's the main thing I want to hear.
Got the Sony WF-C500, I am very very happy with them. It's actually my first high quality TWS and I would recommend them! I would like to try the Jabra Elite 3 as well since everyone here seems to to vouch for Jabras!
Sony WF c500 good or not?
Is yours still working? I got some but the right bud stopped working after 3 months. I sent the to the manufacturer and got some new ones. And the right one stopped working again after a few weeks.

@@GarfieldEnjoyer1878 try resetting
Wanna buy it too, but just too many choices. I can't decide. I don’t need super hyper bass, i just need good rock metal sound for music, that's it.
Thank you awesome comparison. I appreciate it.
new sub here from Manila. thanks for the review. I like your video and editing as well. your sound is very stable and clean.
Thanks bro!
That hear-through mode is a nice feature.
Very helpful. I watched your review of the JBL Sport and this helped me decide which one was better for my particular needs. Going with the Sony.
Thanks
Awesome match up....nice one bro💯
Both options are excellent and high quality! Highly recommended.
Thank you for this!
Good video my, brotha. I'm really leaning to getting the sony
thank you for posting every 🙌 week
hi, for the elite 3, when we use the earphones one by one, is it possible to increase - decrease the volume, switch to the next - previous song, no matter left or right. My second question is, can my brother use the other headset on another device while using one of the headphones? Finally, does it hurt the ear because the headphones are not touch?
1:22 oh man, you really help me with that info, I wasn't able to find if the jabra had that option, I had the Sennheiser TWS 2 and you can only use the right earbud and leave the left one in the case, after a couple of months the left stopped connecting with the right earbud and I wasn't able to reconnect it again, I heard that most earbuds with that technology have the same problem in most brands, that why I'm looking for earbuds like this ones, I have to buy a couple for my sisters jaja
you were right on with mpow 29 sound and midtone clarity. will jabra elite3 or others in price range compare.
I've got the WF-C500 yesterday, really seems that the Jabra has 2 or 3 better features, but I choose the Sony because of the small size and design in ear. I spent like 1 h to equalize it via app to make sound with enough bass as my old cable earbuds Senheisser CX300. Since I'm not using mocrophone at all I think I'm happy with it for now. Great and very pro production in your videos congrats.
is the eq setting remain saved on Sony, even connecting a different device?
@@ppg_forever no the setting is not saved on the device, it's saved on the app. As long as you have the app on both devices
how are they so far?
Same here. Got them just because of their size, so I can listen to some podcasts and audiobooks when I go for a walk.
Can you share your eq settings?
I've just picked up the Sony WF C500s for 45 in the sales and got to say they are superb for the price. It took a little plauing around with the EQ but Sonys sound is unmatched, imo.
Thank you so much for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info. Cheers from Spain!
Cheers!
I've seen other reviews on the jabra elite 3 and heard that they have an annoying hissing sound. What is your opinion on that?. Great video btw, +1 sub!
I have the Jabra Elite 3 and i can't hear any hissing
I'm happy with getting wf 1000 M3 and I need ipx earbuds when spring comes soon
I have got the WF C500s it's really good and the charge and sound quality is unreal. But also planning to buy the elite 3s for my mom please let me know if it's any good ?
I bought a WF-C500 in January 2023. After very little use, the left ear suddenly got very hot and stopped working. Sony did not agree to replace or repair.
Very helpful.
Thanks
Can you turn on either of these headphones without the case? Does the button act as a power button in case you leave them out of the case and do not have it with you?
I am a fan of Sony products and trust them, but that doesn't mean I won't venture off to try out competitive products. I've had many ear cans, Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Bose, and Sony included....Now I wanted to get a budget ear bud but wanted to try out something outside of Sony and man I'm glad I did. I picked up the Elite 3 for $70 and it's sweet. The music quality in mid-high are decent. The best qualities of Elite 3 for me are the snug comfort fitting design and very intuitive controls. They are button controls and works better than touch controls. The Jabra did not disappoint.
Lost my AirPods Pro and bought these Sonys. Honestly, they fit better and they’re a lot cheaper and better battery life. Only thing is that they don’t have passive sound so you’ll always have passive noise cancelation meaning you may not be as aware of your surroundings.
Thanks you for this video 🙏🌹
Thanks for watching!
Which one is better for Phone calls?
Thx for review
Hi bro. about quality sound, jabra or jbl ?
Thanks, excuse me for my english.
How do you think about phone call of jabra elite 3 vs Apple airpods?
Nice comparison bro. Would u recommend either of these if someone only had $100 or maybe something else?
I really like the Elite 3 for $80. If you're looking for absolute bang for buck then there's other options. Like the soundcore life P3
@@CEONTHEMAKING can the hissing sound be taken care of?
One thing I learned after buying a few TWS, always spend more if you plan on keeping just one pair. That said, that Sony is 👌
More expensive doesn't always mean better though!
@@Mandy_39 i mean technically it does, if u buy cheap earbuds vs more expensive ones, the more exp ones will last longer
@@Mandy_39 from my experience..
When I buy cheap stuff that as good as expensive one...
Yes they are... really good..no doubt
But the question is how long they'll last without any problem...
I have a lot of cheap but good stuff
But they fall apart very easily
Like I have phone that have high end specs but mid-range price.....
But battery die 1year of daily use, now it completely dead coz I can't open after fix
TWS I have it yes they sound good no problem as start...
After 1 year...?
No there no after for cheap stuff that have used year or so..
Now I save buy good stuff and good care of
Believe me I have learned hard way that not to cheap everything sometimes you deserve better
@@XNDEZ not necessarily true, I've been using xiaomi buds I got for 40 bucks 2 years ago and all that's decayed is their battery life, to the point where they last less than 2 hours without needing to recharge them in the case, forcing me to upgrade.
@@miweneia my point is if u bought more expensive ones same time u got the xiaomis and like used them at the same frequency, the more expensive ones would last longer
They both sound great for calls
Which one are better in sound quality??
Alexa included on both as well or just the Jabras?
Listening to this review with the Jabra elite 3
Is there a hissing sound as a lot of people are complaining?
@@Shrikanth4404 No problems with mines.
@@Ray_Entertainment how long have you had the elite 3 and how do you like it now?
I'm just about to buy either this or Sony c500. What do you think?
@@Shrikanth4404 I had them since September 9th. They are my my daily drive. As I use them every day for work. I love push button over touch since I have to were gloves.
@@Ray_Entertainment thank you so much! Ordered them. Should be here in a day. Can't wait to use them!!
I have the Jabra Elite 2s. They do all this except for the hearthrough and sidetone. and cost 65 bucks. Great equipment for the price
Any issues as of yet?
@@ibrahimzaheer6582 No issues with mine thus far. they updated the firmware and app and the passthrough works now. still real happy with them.
im also using jabra elite 2 amonth aga work perfectly well.
but it’s been drop and hit by the truck
Which one is better for laying on a pillow?
Jabra elite 3, have a hissing sound or white noise in the background. Easy to notice while listening to podcasts or songs with a volume of more than 60 percent. I have returned them.
So this is for everyone wondering about the Jabra brand ...in the span of 1 year and 3 months I've gone through 3 pairs of Jabra earbuds, two Jabra 75T and 1 pair of Jabra elite active 4. All three of the pairs gave me an issue where one earbud started to fail...low volume or no volume at all. 1st pair of 75T stopped working only after 3 months...the second pair last longer and then started to fail... unfortunately the Elite active 4 failed after 9 months. Now I picked up the Sony earbuds on sale and got myself warranty coverage...so I'm hoping these will work more than a year. I also got the warranty option for the elite active 4, and will be getting a store credit which I will buy the WFC 700s. Don't buy Jabra, regardless of the features they are doomed to fail.
Is sound and fit better or worse with Sony?
The new Jabra fit is really bad for small ear canals. They go way too deep and it is painful with every silicone tip. 65t fit really well, 75t was pretty good, 85t not great at all. These look to be the same as 85t. Their call and audio quality have always been really great though.
nice test thx
great review!
I was about to get one of this. But both have people complain about hissing noise.
thanks for the comparison 👍 I wont submerge them in the water I promise!
i listen a lot to heavy base music and i wonder which in-ear are the best for heavy base and good conversational sound?
None. Go get yourself a good headphone amp with bass boost switches, gain, and a good lossless player and wired headphones or IEMs and then you'll have good bass.
I got the Sonys and I find that none of my wireless BT phones or IEMs have tons of bass, or amp power, due to the limitations of BT and wireless per se. And the device
you might be using. Don't bother...get a wired amped setup. I use a pair of Beyerdynamic Custom Studio Pro wired phones, and they have tons and tons of bass.
Why l can't listen you tube videos ? The wf-c500 it's work with calls, music but no you tube videos, . Can you explain to me the reason???? Please
Is C500 compatible with Samsung or IPhone 5?
Jabra elite 75t problem with charging box. Arggrr new boxed and listen once, great sound and now after hard reset and other tries, still no. Luck. Need to send it back as the charging case doesn't charge : and this is not a bad luck as I've heard few complaints about 75t
Good review
How is running on Jabra elite 3 for smaller ears? And is there any hissing on them?
No hissing and the fit is great
I have the jabra elite this but after sometime left earbud is not paring, I tried everything but its not working
Had the jabra’s and i sold them after a week. I even preferred using my Anker TWS for 25$. Why? The treble is so harsh it’s impossible using them. Unless you turn down your volume very low. The EQ is very limited and even with reduced treble, it’s still very harsh.
I have them too and I disagree
@@SleezyFall do you have any problem with them ? And how long did you have them
As a woman I will aways choose the smaller / flatter profile. For Saftey, security, work and sociaI reasons NEED to hear my surroundings at ALL times. Peronally ANC is no Bueno for my lifestyle. My choice hands dowm: Sony for its smallness and simplicity of use.
where cobra headphones can be ordered Sony?
Returned both as I'm using the skullcandy grind fuel. The Sony used 360 sound, a paid feature. (no sure if I used them wrong) The jabra's nor the sony met my edm music. As the skullcandy had additional eq settings that worked well to my suprise. At a fraction of the cost through Costco.
U got a playlist bro?
Both of them have no ANC?
A word of caution…Jabra Elite 75 T Active has huge issues with connectivity (not sure about Elite 3). The left ear bud stops playing music after some time. Though both are still connected to carry out the functions (volume, ANC ETC), but no sound (gradually fades away) on the left ear buds (right one works fine), especially after you pause the music.
This is irrespective of the battery level. To make matters worse, Jabra customer support is practically non-existent.
There are UA-cam videos of this issue, but the remedies don’t work. Please research before buying Jabra.
Mine work fine. Connectivity works even better than my roomates Technics Bearbuds.
@@jond4634 thank you for replying. Mine worked flawlessly for the first 6 months or so. Love the sound and the base. However, this issue is still persistent (since the last 4 months now), even with the Samsung S22Ultra.
This exact thing happened to my pair after 6 months. Very upsetting.
Mine is Jabra Elite Active 75T, 1.5 years of used, no issues until now.
My Elite 75T left earbud stopped working after 3 years. Jabra support is non-existent. Totally a waste of money.
I choose, the sony, just because of the quality of sound......
Same. Sony has the best sound quality!
I returned them because I didn't like the sound
@Jan Kowalski Yeah you do 😏
@@Geert890 too many fanboy here lol, i have no doubt the linkbuds s and XM4 have one of the best sound quality,but budget price? It's a different story here
@@ezrapardede1921 xm4 is all bass. nothing else
Just got the Elite 3s, partly based on this comparo 😉
✌🏽
How are they keeping on?
@@_Makunyane I'm enjoying them a lot. The only downside I've experienced so far is their inability to connect to a 2nd device without unpairing first from the 1st device. I don't understand how current earbuds can't do this. I have a 4-year old pair of Tranyas that can connect to any device just by clicking it on the Bluetooth list -- no unpairing necessary.
Oh, and also the HearThrough mode isn't as effective as I'd hope it would be.
I prefer Jabra 3 since it has nicer phone call quality. :)
almost the same bro :)
@@mabast99sdkfz183 I bought jabra 3 and very satisfied 😌
@@Haley2077 i bought sony c500 yesterday in newegg , youtube reviewers says it's very comfort nice design to ear , also my little brother have jabra 65t and says very good sound quality but very uncomfort to my ear and test lot of jabras are the same to me 😗 , thats why i choose sony 🤔
Which sound better, wfc500 or regular wired apple earpods?
Good wired buds will usually sound a bit better by default, theres always slight flaws to bluetooth
Next time can you boost a little bit the sound, just a tiny bit
In many reviews people are saying that jabra elite 3 have a problem of constant hissing sound even with hear-through mode off , was this fixed or not all of them have this problem ?
Both of this have this hissing sound. I was about to get one of them . I look everywhere and both seems don't have any fix.
I choose sony over jabra because sounds Quality matters 😅 to me
How both are performing in iphones and which one is best among 2?
+1
Jabra elite 75t or sony wf-c500 which one of these preferred for base lover and call quality.
75t for bass!
Great comparo. Thanks for sharing.
Jabra elite 3 just added a music equalizer. Sweet!
The sonys will be $29.99 for black Friday at Walmart.
Would you guys get them?
Hello, I need buds just for running in the gym. I need loud and good sound quality. I dont need a good mic, i need buds that have good fit (so it wont fall from ears), and that it cancel loud music from the gym. Any suggestions? xD
Get headphones especially if that's all you really wanting to do with them, the sound will be much better and they will most likely have a better fit.
Sony WF-C500-I've been having an issue where whenever I play audio i hear an audible hissing noise coming from the pair of earbuds. It doesn't matter what volume I'm at; the hissing is consistent. When I stop playing any type of audio, whether it's from a youtube video or spotify, the hiss is present. When I stop playing audio the hissing continues for a few seconds before it stops.Anyone else experiencing this exact issue?Can it be repaired?
After updating the firmware the issue was fixed for me.
@@brainactivity737 how did you upgrade the firmware ? I am having the same hissing sound issue
@@omer412 Download their app and from there it's pretty straightforward.
@@brainactivity737 no my guy, I've tried using the Sony Headphones app, there's no option to upgrade the firmware. I've looked everywhere 😟.
@brainactivity737 yeah how did you upgrade I please tell mee🙏😭😭
I lost today my jabra elite 3’s and will get the same sony’s tomorrow and wanted to see if its atleast similar to them
How are they?
Just got the jabra and there is a constant white noise sound. I’ve seen this mentioned by others as well. I love the fit and the white noise is minimal but it’s still an annoyance
Does white noise still exist?
If you didn't already Try turning off hear-through mode on the Jabra app
Excellent comparison. The Jabra wins in call quailty by far. And they cost 20 bucks less. In my opinion, Jabra is the best brand manufacturing earbuds in the world right now. Regards from Spain!!!!
Jabra has a lot of experience making corporate telephony gear. I’ve been with a couple of companies that uses Jabra gear for corporate telephony needs, and I know a few people who are using the phone all day, and they swear by it. So, it makes sense why their voice/call quality it great by comparison to Sony - who usually sells well with customers who are consuming audio traditionally aka listening to music, and dont care to have the best call/voice quality but just good enough when they need it.
Funny, cause the video above this one had the C500 sounding MUCH better than the Jabras here.
But everyone has the same thing to say about the jabras: left earbud died in up to 6 months... That makes me scared
That's cute opinion 😂
Hi please answer me wich one the best for the sound quality the bass watching the videos
Elite 3
@@CEONTHEMAKING thank you
What about 360 audio ??
Sony C-500 is better when used for calling and zoom. Sound quality is better when adjusting the EQ
Totally agree i just love the SONY, have had them for 1 month now i just love them so gooood sound. and perfect when making calls.
This is a comparison I wanted to see. I'm glad I got the Jabra Elite 3.
Quick question.
Do you get a hissing sound on your jabra elite 3's
Coz mine has a prominent hissing sound which is really annoying
Is that when you have the Hear-Through feature on?
do you recommend the Jabra Elite 3 to us who listen a lot to heavy base music like HipHop/Rap House Trance reggaeton ?
@@45189m could someone clarify this? Can the hissing sound be taken care of?
@@lifeisastruggle5517 Within this price range I do.
Bro, can you clear me how about sound and mic quality of elite 3 vs airpods 3 ? Thanks
Two different types of earbuds. Sound Quality better on elite 3 because it has silicon eartips
Yo why do you think the mic quality of the Sony's sounds way more compressed here than on Gamesky's vid? Some iPhone vs Android thing?
Possibly!
I got the Jabra 3 and I returned them the very next day. They have a hissing sound that is very annoying is like if the mic would be open all the time probably a firmware error. Is a shame because they sound good and have a great range connection, better than jbl pro flow and the same bass for half the price, but is like listen an old LP record all the time so returned.
That's the hearthrough mode. You can turn that off.
@@majidcortez975 hehehehe im not stupid, im talking about real hissing problem in no matter what mode you just google jabra 3 hissing and you will see
Nice video
Thanks!
Sony's design looks so much better, although I need a transpareny mode. So I'm probably gonna choose the Jabras
I bought the Sony 500 and I really like the sound quality but it took a while to get used to the fit. Kept falling out of my ear at first.
Hey do you hear any hissing noise from them?
No hissing noises
@weedguys2384 thx for replying. Could you also tell me which phone you connect them with.
Moto g and a Samsung
Did you have to buy the apps or free with the purchase?
It's free. In the app stores
I have sony and sound and fits are just best
whats a better option between the c500 nd the jabra active 4 elite?? I'm getting a good deal where they are almost the same cost.....any thoughts on this
Elite 4 for sure
@@CEONTHEMAKING wouldn't care about features though, Jus bothered about the sound....in a head to head comparison only where sound quality nd bass matter, which one Wud sound better??thanks for the reply
какие наушники лучше ?
Which is better Sony C500 or Galaxy Buds 2?
Buy the Sony asap
I just paused at the voice test. Damn brother. When you were using the Sony headphones it sounded like you were talking into an open tin can. When you switched over to the Jabra. I have to say fam. The Jabra's pick up your true voice. Where as your mic for the youtube video is more on softer tones. Unless that is a trend to get more views. :) Don't want to scare the audience. lol. Great review by the way. Sony I had not reviewed and decided to go with the Jabra. I feel the elite 3 are better than the 7's based on some sound complaints I have read. Have you tested the elite 7's yet? They are a step up from the elite 75t it looks like.
Yes I have. I prefer the sound of the 75t actually over elite 7 pro. Thanks for watching!
@@CEONTHEMAKING And just so I can go full circle on this. Where does the Elite 3 fall in between the Jabra collection? Thank you for your response.
I got the Sony's but returned them in exchange for the Jabra's, they sound much better to me.
Jabra Elite 3 supports aptx and SBC
