When was the last time you actually needed an firmware update for your earbuds?! As long as the app and base features work fine there is no need for that. Pretty sure they will support them for 3-6 months at minimum which should fix all major things
Typically when they discontinue they will support for a short period before cutting out support entirely, I have had several Jabra earbuds in the past and only got like 1 firmware update in the life of the earbuds anyway
@@kl4224 Well them releasing a new pair of earbuds and discontinuing them immediately is not a great business practice either. Just buy something else if you don't like the price.
I have the Gen 1 Elite 10's, and absolutely love them. But from a sound perspective, I do prefer the Sony XM5's. But while I'm at work, shifting from work phone to personal phone on a dime, the Elite 10s are superior. Glad to own both, but I'm glad Jabra released a great product before ending the line.
I've been using 4 85t jabra earbuds for 3 years, one by one. The last one died yesterday. Annoying me that only right units are dead, all left units are healthy still. Well, but I loved their sound quality, ANC and most of all multi paring. I consider elite 10 as my next ear bud.
How important are continuous updates for earbuds? I would think if the bugs have been worked out then updates shouldn't be necessary. Unless there is a security flaw?
almost every piece of software written these days are so complex that finding bugs is less likely, and more of a certainty. - software updates for a time can help mitigate these and reduce the severity of bugs as users put collectively thousands of hours of use into discovering said bugs.
they should look similar, it's the exact same hardware. All Jabra did for this and the Active 8 gen2 was update the firmware. But they claim an over the air firmware update is not possible and they can only do it adding a new circuit board.
Thank god there is finally an alternative to the Bose ones, i have had 7 pair of Bose earbuds which all broke (the last pair broke today). I *_NEVER_* want any Bose product ever again. *EDIT:* Nevermind, these earbuds are so much worse than the bose earbuds that i don't even consider them a competitor, the fitment in the ear is worse, they are less comfortable, the active noise cancelling is not even half as good, the sound quality is significantly worse, and the spacial audio does not even get close to the bose earbuds. I have honestly never been as disappointed by the performance of a product as i have been with these, not because they are bad, they aren't bad, but when watching this review my expectations were something comparable to the bose quiet comfort earbuds, which these are not, even though the price is practically identical, but at least these don't break if you look at them in the wrong way I'm gonna be angry for a couple hours now about how bose can be capable enough to make a product that outperforms everything else, yet be completely incapable of making a product that doesn't break if you look at it incorrectly
Oh my God, thank you. I have had my suspicions about the ANC percormance of the Jabra 10's Gen 2 compared to the Bose. I really hope Bose makes erabuds with a Case and a METALL HINGE (is that too much to ask for? Why is Apple nearly the only one doing this?!). And pls.give me speeze controlls, nobody likes accidental Commands.
I really wonder how you do your tests to come to the conclusion that these Jabras are better than the Bose and Airpod Pro 2 when it comes to ANC, this is completely false in reality.
Bear in mind that these are the upgraded earbuds of generation 1, so the potential for it to be better than bose and airpods Pro 2 is very high, in my opinion. Even the first generations should definitely be able to compete with them and the best, even in the area of ANC.
They'd sell more if they open sourced their entire source code and just let us take over updates and functionality since theyre discontinued anyways.
Jabra announced that they are going to stop making earbuds. I'm concerned about firmware updates and support

I still use my Jabra Elite 75t earbuds. They're a bit dated, but the quality is so good, I haven't bought any other earbuds since.
Me too man using since its released, unfortunately i washed them out in washing machine along with my clothes so have to switch to elite 10 gen 2

I prefer the Elite 10's to the Sony XM5's in sound, ANC, comfort and controls. Just better product overall. Sad to see them go.
I have the gen 1’s and still want these lol.
are you happy with gen 1?
@@knutlorentzen5014I am they’re really good!
Yes, they're GREAT! I have 4 previous buds and loved them but these are fantastic.

2:16 who is this guy? I feel like I'm watching a Pantene Pro-V commercial. I noticed they used him to model the device instead of the actual UA-camr😅
How can you distinguish between gen 1 and gen 2 just by looking at it, or looking at the packaging?
The pairing buttons on the front for gen 2

I am debating which one to buy for jogging and bike rides, 10 or 8... Which of them blocks out wind noise better?
Go with the 8 gen 1 on sale now, or grab gen2. ANC is really good on the gen 1.
What ia the difference gen 1 and gen 2?
I would like to know that two.
Not a lot in all honesty! Check their website.
Could you test the AKG N5 Hybrid please?
Why do mines ANC not seem to work? It makes no difference from when they're off.
in the app there is a slider to set which level of anc u desire. also there is anc, ambient and off function
@@tehhalia903 Is still very bad outdoors, I can hear everything. Traffic, people talking. I have Jabra Elite 7 and its better than this one.
@@user8634-o7fyou have bad ear shape
Lg did it earlier and bowers & wilkins did that too.
oh no ;( i just bought jabra elite 10 today and turns out it is gen 1:(((
Having used these now. They're definitely not as good as Airpods pro 2 on the ANC front.
What about busy places with lots of people talking?
Still the same rubbish sound tuning with sharp highs and wobble-bobble basses, as the 1st gen was?
yes agree, i have the Gen 1 & was disappointing
Wouldn't waste my money on these overpriced buds their sound tuning are trash
Too late I already bought them, the ANC is the worst feature.
@@user8634-o7f it's never to late I would return them immediately for a refund

That microphone quality was horrible. Jesus.
They look like hearing aides
Talking about the ANC without any form of comparison against gen 1 rendered the review mostly pointless to me.
🤡 there’s a review for gen 1 by sound guys it blocks 75-83 percent of sound this model is 85 percent there your CLEAR answer
@@deykno87Cool!
