Just got these, they are fantastic!
I have tried the best of Sony and B&O (also Bose and Jaybird), but these match them in audio quality and exceed in quality of life. No more random disconnects, uneven charging, looking for case to wake up the buds, etc.
I love the physical buttons they are nice and clicky and don't push the buds further into your canal when pressed. The buds itself are small and don't make you look like a dork, your can lie on your side on a pillow with these on with little to no discomfort. The app is clean and gives you complete control over the ear buds, the default settings makes sense. Great battery life. I would recommend.
They compete with the best for a much lower price. I'm def happy with them too. Thanks for watching! What color did you get?
You do nice reviews, no fluff and clear presentation, e.g. you displayed all the pages from the app, that was helpful, before I made the purchase. Will watch until you are big and have sold your soul to sponsors.
I got matte black.
Just grabbed these as my buds 2 pro were so uncomfortable i couldnt take it after 9 days i returned them. These buds are where its at. Not cheap but they just feel worth the price before they are even in my ears. Only "gripe" is i feel they could stay fit a little better in my ears but they dont fall out. They feel like legit comfy pillows in my ears. Very glad i got these.
I cant wait until they come in. The AirPods still only come in bright white as well. Jabra hit the color-ways out the park and they give you options without stupid cases. Plus I’ll be able to have my Samsung phone and iPad hooked up at the same time. These are a win win. Great job on the review. Im glad i preordered them. I cant wait til they ship. They look awesome. My elite 8 actives will be the gym pair and these cocoa pair elite 10’s will be used for everything else.
Exactly why I mentioned that because they're so universal! I love how Jabra came out with no color ways and was so stoked when I saw this new Cocoa color. Apple makes great phones but they have boring design choices with their AirPods. They do that on purpose so you KNOW it's the AirPods someone is wearing. Glad the review helped!
I went from AirPod Pro to Jabra 85t a year ago and found Jabra to be superior in sound quality. I have the Jabra Elite 10 arriving tomorrow.
How was it?
They are as great as the 85t but more comfortable. They fit better and the silicone texture makes them stay in my ear a lot better. It’s only been a few weeks but so far so good.
Agree with you. I have been using Elite 10 for a week. Excellent !!!
When I saw your mic test of Jabra Flex 65t, I just ordered them the same day. I never regretted! Now I'm looking for new earbuds and it looks like I know what to get :)
These earbuds are highly underrated and I still love them. They're so dang good!
These remind me more of the pixel buds pros than any other buds out there. Design wise of the earbuds is extremely similar and i imagine fitment is extremely similar as well
They do have a similar design! It's wild how many different earbuds there are. I truly can't remember them all and usually just think of what's popular in comparison and price. Thanks for the comment!
Just got these and they fit great and sound miles better than the APP's 2.. Thump bass that i love and still great clarity
Thanks for the feedback! Jabra is very underrated in the consumer world. They fit everything you need in my opinion.
Considering these vs the Jabra Elite 8 Active... Everything about the 8 Actives fits what I'm looking for (75%+ of my use is during running and physical exercise), but I keep coming back to the Elite 10s because of the alleged sound quality offered with 10 speakers instead of 6 (like the 8 Actives). Do you feel the 10s have a secure fit while running/exercising? The IP rating on the 10s, albeit lower than the Active 8s, is about double the quality of the Airpod Pro 2s and Power Beats, so I don't feel like I'm losing quality with the 10s.
This has been my question too.
you mean 10 mm speakers instead of 6mm right? because none of these buds have more than 1 single speaker.
I'm caught in the same dilemma.
Mi e fit great and stay in. But everyone's ears are different, so I buy at Best Buy with 14 day return/exchange. Trying them is only real solution.
Just got mine today in cocoa color and have fallen in love with its performance
They truly are one of a kind. Some of the best earbuds I ever tested. Jabra is incredible for me because they’re business focused as well as consumer focused. I’m always on the phone and it’s rough having bad microphones. The cocoa color is awesome!
Do they get loud?
Thanks for the review. Great job. I bought the Jabra today, great design, great ANC but unfortunately I'm really disappointed about the mic. I went to the supermarket and it was like a torture for my listener on the other side of the line. Can you please let me know what settings you are using and you have such a great call performance in such noisy environments?
I truly think Jabra needs to update their software or something because my mics sound the same 90% of the time like in the review. Every now and then they sound even better but it depends on background noise. I'm letting them know about this. I only used the voice recorder on my phone.
Hey Adam, I was about to grab the Jabra 10, but after digging into it yesterday, I found out they’re discontinuing the Elite. You think it's still worth buying, or should I start looking at other brands? Man, I’ve already bought the Bose QC II twice and the QC Ultra once-seriously, all of them were defective. I stopped searching for earbuds for a while, but I really need a pair now. Jabra’s still one of my top picks though.
Great review brother, I agree with you, they should bring back the ANC slider, or they should put an options, like adaptive ON, and if OFF, slider shoud appear. ANC is great though, love it ❤
I can't wait till they do that because Adaptive ANC has never been my thing. I can't wait till they make a software update for that! Let us have the options! I truly appreciate you watching and commenting. What color do you have them in?
If available in my place, I will get gold beige 😊
@@TechOutAdam I have my Jabra Elite 10 Titanium black, and it was really good, better than my Jabra Elite Active 75T and Elite 85T 😍, love it😍
How do they compare to Jabra Elite Pro 7.
got the jabra elite 10 and I like them, not sure if they are better then my elite 7 pro in audio quality but it up there and just different :) have not tested that much yet
It takes time to truly find out all the pros and cons, difference and overall value of a new product. I wanted to rush my review right away but I'm glad I waited. That's the problem with reviewing products is you're fighting the "algorithm", whatever that is, but at the same time I'm not going to lie to viewers about my experience.
What color did you get them in by the way? Thanks for the view and comment.
@@TechOutAdam I think the color is cream. You are right about the fact it takes time to find all the ins and outs, im back at using the 7 pro again, I just love that neutral sound.
I have the elite 7 pro as well? Are they better enough to justify $250?
I have the elite 7 pro. Are these worth the upgrade? I love the 7 pros
Just buy them, try them, and return them if not.
10:50 What are you saying? Not as good as the 7 pro? I guess it make the most sense for it to be the Airpods Pro.
Would be nice if they could have H2 chip in a released Beats Fit Pro 2.
Love these earbuds. Mostly. 🤷♂️ However, when earbuds are in it mutes my phone notifications, but also doesn't play them in my ears. Cannot for the LIFE of me figure out why? Is it not possible? 🤷♂️ Incredibly frustrating and have never owned earbuds where you couldn't get audible notifications in your ear. 😡
I just got these, only problem is that they don't fit in my ear as snug as the Elite 7 pro.
They shoulda covered LDAC
Audio codecs supported AAC, SBC but not sure why they didn’t do that. That is one thing awesome about Sony products I do love.
Exactly.
@@TechOutAdam and LC3, LC3plus with future updates which should be better and more energy efficient but we'll see
Is LDAC free to implement for all OEMs now?
LDAC is Sony's proprietary codec, they're not licencing it to anyone else unless they're paying huge royalties to Sony. 😅
Will this fall out on runs with lot of sweat (even if perfectly fit on dry) ? I really loved Elite 7 ACtive but had to return them because even after 3K in summer dei simply slip out of my ears and i did not find any aftermarket fins/wings to apply to them to improve the earbud retention on the ear :(
Dang, if the Elite 7 Active's didn't hold up I'd say go for the Elite 8 Active or better yet the Jaybird Vista 2's. Those are still one of the best active earbuds I've ever used for the fit and comfort. They have a wingtip so it's always going to be a better advantage.
9:25 I noticed this on mine as well, the silicone cover sometimes opens up if my finger slides against it to find the button.
Have you any long-term issues with the silicone opening up, in terms of water or sand getting inside?
This is making me lean toward to 8 now since they’re fully enclosed in silicone.
Would you recommend this one over the Jabra Evolve 2? i’m trying to replace my Jabra Engage 65 for work because the over the head, headset hurts my ears over time especially when i’m using my eye glasses
Hmm, that's a good question. How long are you on the phone and is your background loud, in a office?
Good review, thanks 👍🏼
How does it compare to the Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Sony XM5? How can it outperform both, considering it only has SBC and AAC codecs?
I got really tempted buying these until the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 were introduced earlier this week in Barcelona. They are coming on October 18 and boy I can't wait. I currently have the Freebuds Pro 2.
I truthfully can't imagine those being better than Jabra. But at the end of the day, we all got to pick what we like. There's so much tech available. Sky's the limit!
@@TechOutAdam Man, those buds are underrated (and probably not popular due the Huawei ban). They brought LDAC, DolbyAtmos, 11mm drivers, all the gestures and amazing sound, ANC, transparency, wireless charging, and all this over a year ago. I have no interest in promoting them, I'm just looking forward to the successor.
I'll add I've got the Freebuds Pro 3 and they are fantastic. For me the only issue with the jabra is the poor transparency mode else I would have kept them.
@@NegyedMisithey dotn have atmos with the Freebuds Pro 3
They have their on spatial audio tech that only works with Huawei devices and it's not great
@@SibTiger33 I've sent the Jabra back. Controls are complicated, no volume with 1 bud only. Also no LDAC. If they were 200 euros, probably a keeper.n
I have Elite 7 Pros' connected with the Jabra dongle from Evolve2 85 as I noticed that they were often disconnecting from my PC. Can you please add a review where you validate how these are providing voice quality when connected to a PC? I love my evolve2 85 but are bulky in travel, and I am looking for something lighter and better looking.
Yes, I can even create a UA-cam Shorts on that specifically. So far, I haven't had issues except for Slack. Idk why but when I make a call on Slack (which I normally prefer over Zoom) the microphones would mute for no reason. I told Jabra about this as I know it's a software issues. Unfortunately, these are things that may come up even after a review. It's happened twice on a Slack call so hopefully they fix it soon.
You can try jabra evolve 2 65 flex
Do these leak sound?
When a tool fan spots another tool fan! We're all pneuma!
Hell yeah! One breath, one word!
Need advice.
Bought Elite 10, and they sound muffled (not clear sounding) compared to my Elite 7 Pro.
After reset and update still muffled sounding.
Do I have a defective pair?
Unsure whether to try another pair Elite 10 or exchange for Elite 8 Active.
Muffled with the mics, sound or both? I haven't experienced any issues other than ANC but that's when I first got them and after a quick software update they've been great. I'll keep testing and looking for things to notice. I'd ask Jabra to switch them out for another pair. Sorry to hear that happened!
do these pair of elite 10s slide out your ear while looking down at your phone, watching a vid and eating?
Mine do not slide out. Retention very important, and these have not popped out. They are very comfortable, and large eargels gave me a good seal.
Yeah they are great but for me the right ear hurt (outer ear part) after like 2 hour man that is the only issue for me 😭
Wish these had apex for Android
I recently returned a pair of elite 7 pro’s due to microphone poor quality. Sorry, but Jabra isn’t quite what it used to be. With airpods you can’t go wrong
Yes you got to stick to what you like best. Nowadays there's so much consumer tech that sometimes what's just tried and true is all you need lol I love Jabra products but Airpods are popular for a reason.
Not as good mic call quality as the 7 pros?
Hopefully you're mistaken because the 7 pros have absolutely horrendous reviews on Amazon for their call quality. They couldn't sponsor Amazon reviews, unfortunately enough for them.
From your test at the end, the call quality sound was unreal (comparatively). The 7 pros would pick up literally all of that cafe/street noise. The 10s did amazing, it seemed.
I'm an owner of the 7 pros for the other great reasons Except for their horrendous microphone quality when placing calls.
Dang, this is an interesting take to consider and good feedback. For me I think I should've clarified it wasn't as good for me in how I sound with sidetone. I liked how the 7 Pro's sounded richer in picking up my voice but you're right now that I'm listening back. I made it sound like the Elite 10's were horrible when they're definitely not! Thanks for this comment and watching. Do you think you'll pick up the Elite 10's?
@@TechOutAdam cool, and great video, btw!
The only thing deterring me from the 10s is the more "open ear" type fit.
I actually quite like the rounded (as opposed to oval) tip buds that fit snugly in your ear because rounded tips provides a much more significant amount of "passive noise cancelling".
If not for that style choice, I'd have preordered them already. I still might get them, but I'm the type of person that spends way too much money on tech anyways.
Side note I also heard 7 pros are going to be discontinued relatively soon.
For people in the US at least, Jabra is not worth it if you have any problems with their products outside of warranty. There is nowhere you can send them for repairs, they will make you jump through hoops to diagnose the problem and not even tell you what might be wrong with the product, leaving you with very expensive e-waste. I suggest you buy a product from a company that will be willing and able to make repairs. They did offer me a discount code to buy something new, which I think is insulting…. If you didn’t stand behind your last gen top-of-the-line product, why would I spend any more money supporting a wasteful, polluting business model?
I’ve heard people have the same jabra earbuds for 3+ years and still work
@@lilmisery1643 I love my Jabra 85t earbuds. They are weeks from the warranty running out and they have developed problems just in the last few weeks. I would send them back on warranty but the claim process is a ridiculous hassle, and seeing as they are a discontinued model I would rather live with the problem than risk getting sent a different model replacement pair and not liking them.
My Jabra 85h headphones have a problem that people were reporting right from the beginning (loss of sound on the R side after a period of crazy intermittent static) and was supposedly fixed by a firmware update. People continued having the same problem but Jabra continued selling them and acted like they had fixed he issue.
I am genuinely happy for people who get Jabras that work for 3+ years. And anybody who has a problem that matches the documented known issue should get replacement regardless of warranty status, because Jabra continued selling something where a portion of them fail in the exact same way.
When I contacted Jabra I wasn’t even asking for a warranty claim, I just wanted to send them in for repair at my cost. No repair centers! No tech help, no documentation on how to fix it. Just a discount to buy something else from them.
Again, it’s great that the products last for some people. I wasn’t saying their stuff is garbage, I was saying that IF your product has a problem, Jabra is not going to stand behind it. And a complete lack of repair options is environmentally irresponsible. People may not want to support that kind of business model. Buying headphones and earbuds is not playing the lottery, so the rules ought to be different….
@@lilmisery1643 I had my Jabra 85h headphones for 3+ years still working, until they stopped working. That’s when I discovered the only options from Jabra were replacement under warranty, if they agreed, or e-waste because they don’t do repairs. And I was beyond warranty, so…. I will stick to companies like KEF now, who stand behind their products and have multiple repair centers in the US. [edited for spelling]
Pneuma - Tool, nice
Humph 🤔
In the end, between these Jabra Elite 10 and the Airpod Pro 2, which have the best ANC, the best transparency mode and especially the best microphone in phone call in noisy environment?
🙏🏽
11:01 Worth $249?
jabra elite 10 louder than airpods pro 2 (volume)
Yes, from other reviews they say that it is slightly louder than sony xm5 and air pods 2 pro :)
@@PepeFruit The sound quality is so dang good compared to a lot of earbuds. I still think Sennheiser as the crispiest sound of any company but Jabra competes with the heavy hitters overall. That's why I loved comparing these to the AirPods Pro because is the standard earbuds all professionals love to use.
@TechOutAdam loved the review. My cocoa pair is being delivered today! I was already excited, but after watching this I REALLY can't wait 😁
Is a bit annoying how many times you mention the Applebuds. Is like you think those are the top in sound but I did try so many better sounding. Including the poor constructed sennheiser momentum 3 and even the elite 7 and so many more
They sound so much better on android …
And Airpods also look ridiculous 😂
They just look the same year over year. I swear I wish Apple would just do different colors at least.
@@TechOutAdamyeah but you know Apple…Everything is white 😂.
Change your hair style bro, looks like U have a Brillo Pad on top of your head😂
Man I'm too lazy to change it. 😂I mean it's shorter now but it's looking like a brillo pad again.
airpod always bogus
