A legend is gone but not forgotten in the true wireless earbuds realm

And Jabra is one of the companies making the most comfortable earbuds ...its sad

Phones are starting to be like this too. No new innovation and consumers just want something that works.

I hate this news.... I love my Jabras... Can't live without them.

Weve hit a plateau for consumer demand in a lot of tech products. These last 3-4 years people upgraded everything as it was fast innovation and now the differences are far less interesting for the general public

Hadn't heard this. I'm bummed but not shocked. As you said, Jabra made great earbuds for those in the know, but I felt like they were always in a weird spot where their price and quality was on par with Sony, Bose, etc, but their notoriety and market share was a lot lower. But they helped drive the TWE market forward and I'm sad they're leaving the market.

You hit everything on the head 1000%..... there's absolutely no reason why companies are gonna get away with charging an arm and a leg for earbuds when we can purchase earbuds 3x cheaper with on par quality sound/features.... the Donner Dobuds are the PERFECT example of where we are in the market 💯💯💯 to prove your point i just purchased the creative outlier air's used for just $13 on ebay.

Jabra always made the most comfortable ear buds, sad to see this competitor leaving the market

I am sad to hear this. Jabra is one of my favorites!

Gosh, I was just about to make a purchase and I see this. I'm so heartbroken.

Best earbuds I've used till this day are the Jabra Elite 75t Active. I'm actually on my third pair and I have tried others. Bought the Sony WF-1000XM4s and returned them. I use a Pixel 8 Pro so I bought the Pixel Buds Pro and returned those as well. I just love the sound foremost and it has all the features I use. I hope they continue selling them or else I might have to get myself another pair just in case.

never had any Jabra's but I always heard great things about them. I think some of the lower priced earbuds even have "everything under the sun" feature wise and while some brands are better than others ... the market is flooded. I am not sure if this news may have Jabra Elites (whatever models) more expensive or less expensive (say on ebay or just great conditioned "like new" pairs) Some of my favorite lower priced brands but ones that have great quality in my view are Tribit, Earfun, and TOZO just off the top of my head.

Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry to see Jabra leave the consumer market. Blessings on your .

Comfort airpods pro vs Jabra elite 10 gen 2? Which one you recommend? Also with beats latest buds plus

Watching with the Elite Active 75t. What do you recommend as a new alternative? Loved Jabra for ANC and for it not being too overt in appearance.

Wow its a shocker but surefire sign how much things have changed in the market. The thing to watch for is hopefully discounts as Jabra wants to clean out the remaining inventory. My current go-to's are OnePlus Buds Pro 2, Status Between 3 ANC, and 1More Evo. All 3 may not need replacing anytime soon thus lending to what's been discussed. Thx for sharing!!

I have the elite 8 active in Gray and I really love them ! I tried the elite 10 but I don't like semi open earbuds just like the air pods pro 2 etc.

As having been around since the beginning of tws earbuds and having a pair of the Jabra 65t as one of my first more expensive earbuds, it’s sad to see them moving on from a person aspect but business wise I completely get it.

I got my son some 75t's and I loved them so much when I tried his, that eventually got some Elite 7 Pros for myself. But I mainly use the Huawei FreeClips, because of comfort and being aware of my surroundings. Apart from the usual, music, watching movies etc. I also love them when I'm teaching online, as I can hear myself speaking and I don't feel like I'm shouting and of course I can hear the person I'm talking to.

Do you know if they will still do firmware updates? I guess we moving to Bose as they do not have two different divisions at least from what I see

I just ordered the new elite 10 gen2 and after reading the comments I am trying to decide if I should return them when they arrive, supposedly shipping on the 28th. I’m buying them for the LE case transmitter capability, many uses for this but maybe I should look elsewhere.

A damn shame. Love my Elite 8 Active and may upgrade to the Gen 2 as the headphone jack adapter is very creative. I can now use a pair of earbuds with my Xbox and TV now.

I’m so looking forward to the elite 10 gen 2 but now is it worth buying? I mean will they support it with firmware updates?

Jabra faced a few problems. One, earbuds have largely become interchangeable commodities at the lower end. Yes, there are slight differences here and there, but the differences are relatively minor. This leads to the second problem, which is that those low-end commodity earbuds have become really, really good so consumers now have to spend a LOT to experience a notable difference, and even then the difference doesn't match the price. The QCY Melobuds Pro (just released), for example, cost about $35. That buys you ANC, LDAC codec, in-ear sensors, full touch controls, excellent sound. You'd have to spend 5-10x that to get significantly better sound, but even then the improvement would only be slight. It's a hard business now.

Its always sad to hear news like this. It's a big L for consumers 😢

I think that what this announcement shows is not just a trend but a statement that the gap between cheaper earbuds (say sub-$100) and higher end earbuds (say over $250) is getting smaller and insignificant to consumers. I have used the Pixel Buds Pro and the LinkBuds S and in terms of features and sound quality they do not outrank cheaper earbuds like the Soundcore 4 NC. In fact I feel that the 4 NC has better ANC, transparency, and sound. This is why I have stopped looking at TWS over $120, it doesn't seem you get more for your money compared to cheaper sets; Soundcore and Earfun being great examples. It is also why, in terms of sound, I am always excited to Moondrop release a new pair of earbuds. Sure, the app is not great but even with stock tuning they sound better than other earbuds I have used or tried. I am getting off topic but my point is that the differences between cheap earbuds and higher end earbuds is getting smaller making diminishing-returns hit a lot harder.

Sad day, I started my Jabra journey with the Elite 25e had 3 of the damn things loved it still use em for working out, had a pair of 65t still work absolutely amazing, got a pair of 7 pros still use it till date my favourite pair. Sad to think once those go that's it. Even my dad loved em had a pair of 75t and 85t's

especially sad since the new Elite 10's have this unique feature with the case acting as a BT transmitter, which looks great

Watching with jabra elite 2

Awwwwwe nooooo . Im gonna get more Jabra buds before there completely out of stock.

Though I haven't bought this series of Jabra earbuds I've used the 75t and 85t series and those are amazing especially for the sale price you can find them for

Jabra was ahead of its time with Multi-point bluetooth and the ergonomics of their cases....they were pioneers to the market and will be missed.

Where’s Jaybird? We haven’t anything since the Vista 2… which are my gym pair. I like Jabra but the sucked at staying in my ears. I started with the Rox and still have my 65t but I need Stems or hooks bc I have weird ear holes.

I still plan on getting getting elite 10 thank you Jabra for many years of good products

Can review some neckband bluetooth please

Am saddened by this news. I still have the 75t’s and use them most days. Brilliant earbuds.

Sad to see that Jabra bow out on the earbud market. I know they make a good product though I couldn't get a good fit/seal on either the Elite 85t or the Elite 3 that I tried and sent back.

Wow that is crazy - as you say, Jabra has really been on the forefront of truly wireless tech for a long time. Kind of wild they're exiting the market, but business is business and they have to make the decisions they think are best. I am (was?) a HUGE fan of Jabra, owning almost ALL their various TWE starting with the 65T going with all their devices up to the Elite 8 Active. I probably have 10 diff sets of Jabra, and huh - they're going away now. In terms of others that might do this - I see Sennheiser and Jabra as very similar. Both being in Europe, both with many OTHER audio product lines and both have historically asked higher prices for their consumer products. If there are any other dominos to fall in this market, doing the same as Jabra, my money would be on Sennheiser next (and yes I have one of their sets also -- the Momentum Sport). Guess we'll have to wait and see what shakes down....

Found elite 3 on sale and bought a pair for work... while battery life and comfort were perfect, sound was decent at best and ANC was something one could only dream about... flawlesly blocking person on the other side of the line...

would you recommend the soundcore a40 over jabra elite 4? I am in need of some earbuds

I upgraded from the 85t to the 10 series last year so wasn’t planning to get the newest ones. Too bad they won’t be making more in the future.

I would really appreciate if you can help choose between jabra elite 8 active and somy linkbuds s ? Anc,sound quality,calls exc…

Have you tested Technics eah-az80?

How do you tune your Jabra game sky?

Denmark is really up there with Japan when it comes to high end audio systems. I might have to move there after my contract runs out in Sweden.

Jabra has one of the best engineering

Totally agree, I have the Soundcore A40s and they are perfect for me - for the price. I will NOT be trying out any more earbuds or headphones. I have tried more than a dozen earbuds and more than a dozen headphones. I have found the perfect earbuds and set of headphones (Sony XM4). Just repeat buys from here on in. 😊

I didn't try them so hard to say ,but maybe this is the beginning of shrinking of new products which is not good. Hope its not a trend

I will say one thing that makes them stand out is their waterproof earbuds. They are very durable. I even use them in the shower

Jabra is the only brand that stand tall in sound quality with just SBC/AAC codec. I just got the 10 while 75T still functioning even after 3.5 years. Sad to see them go

I have the elite 10 and it seems the batteries doesn't last like some say 10 hours,but yes the sound is good and they are comfortable,the anc is good,the calls are ok

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Im guessing they just couldnt keep up with the much wanted ANC in most earbuds, measurements show that their ANC does basically nothing compared to other brands

In some way, I think it's a good thing because newer companies can compete and take the mantle while pushing innovation in their own right.

Sucks that they wanna shut it down. They are the best earbuds for me and the only ones I bought over the years. Apples earbuds suck - they always fall out of my ear. Jabra were the only ones premium and the only ones that properly fit and work. Very sad!

I think some of us just have too many. I have 4 different pairs from 4 different brands and I use them based on what I'm listening for the day.

A question. Nothing ear (2024) or Jabra Elite 10 Gen 1? This might not be fair in the comparison, but which do you like better and why? I have more emphasis on the sound quality and tuning, but as someone who only has the Sony WH-1000XM5 (honorable mentioned of the Tranya T3s, amazing for years) i can't say i know much in sound quality of earbuds.

The Jabra Active Elites were the first pair of true wireless earbuds that I tried years back. They didn’t fit my ears and they kept falling out lol I remember being so pissed. Especially when they advertised how good their fit was.

Jabra is basically doing an LG but for Earbuds. Killing the product line, that made them successful in the first place, albeit jabra did see more success then LG did with their smartphones. Still the same fate in the end.

I have the elite 3,4,& 85t. I really like Jabra products

It’s my favorite earbuds of all time, sad sad news🥺

Sad 😔, cuz my Jabra Elite 75t are the best, even better than the new ones. I have the Elite 7 Pro as well. The Elite 75t has just that little extra more bass. Love the sound

It is a real shame that this is happening. Unbelievable but understandable when you see that they have Apple,Samsung,Sony,Bose to compete in the premium segment and uncountable brands in the $150 and $100 below segment. I for one would not want to spend so much on TWS since new improvements are expected in future in terms of sound,NC,and a lot of other features.

Honestly true wireless earbuds are at a point where we don't need a new version every year. I still have my lg tone free fit and even though the case is janky since i washed them with some clothes by mistake the earbuds still work flawlessly. The anc is really good, the bass response could be better, but depending on the song they can punch good. I see these easbids like the new sennheiser active buds and they dint even have ip67 while being 100 dollars more than what i have it just ain't worth it.

You said 39 times "earbuds".

i think so many companies release so many buds that feature wise it was going to have to plateau at some point. I mean i hate to pick on a brand (only have one of theirs, myself) but SoundPeats release so many they could have a market just completing with THEMSELVES .. and of course they are not the only ones. really even a few year old earbuds (I picked up a used-verry good pair of Tribit Flybuds 3 for like $16 total lately) have tons of features people like and while "earbuds from 2020" (i made that year up randomly) ... there is nothing new in "the latest models" that people have to have. Really i have more earbuds than i ever thought i would and mainly that is due to "oh that is a GREAT deal " sort of thing ... not that i have to have more than my first pair ever ... .some TOZO T6s

kinda sad cuz i have the jabra elite 65t active and the 75t and i was looking for an upgrade

I've bought five different pair of Jabra earbuds over the years because the company I work for has a discount program with them, I really like their products, and i'm sad to see them being discontinued, Keeping it real, I bought a few because sometimes I would lose the pair 😂😫😒... I still would like to get the elite tens, but I don't know if I want to spend over $120 for them ( Especially with my irresponsible self, might end up losing them)

Really too bad. I've followed Jabra from the 65T through the 85T (which are really exceptional earbuds). I also have some refurbished Jabra 7 elite Pro & Active. Great earbuds. The Jabra 7's are what I use when I'm out in the world and the Actives are great for exercise. A sad end to a really class act product line.

They will not shell over 300 plus for anc tws earbuds. Too much competition and some high end buds coming in below 200. Tozo Golden X1 comes to mind. Most of Soundcore offerings. At this time quality at a discount price is mandatory.

I am an iPhone user but I don’t own AirPods.. but an Jabra 85T… sad to see them go

Very sad. For running and working out..they have the best in my opinion.

sound like lg bye bye

Addio Jabra, Sono estremamente dispiaciuto. Ho Jabra elite 75, 85 e elite 5 , per cui parlo da felice possessore dei loro prodotti. Sono certamente tra le migliori earbuds del mercato e confermo il mio disappunto a questa notizia; spero che cambieranno idea perché è una perdita per tutti

Just bought Jabra Elite 8s. Good buds, but ANC is kind of disappointing. If new gen is significantly better, I'll send them back and try the new ones.

And here I am just recently bought my Neobuds pro 2 for just 45 bucks :)

Such a shame. Thanks for the video.

Yeah it's pretty sad because their 75ts had some of the best bass you could get in earbuds. Just wish they made more earbuds with similar bass as those

Nice one , but unfortunately sign of the times a lot of cheaper ones out now and just as good 😌

Dam

Marketing not good enough to develop brand

Premium earbuds won’t make a difference for the average consumer but it will for audiophiles who by buying these pieces compromise a lot of their needs. I’d understand why these companies suffer from these products, but this is the normal result of following Apple in dropping a lot of feature so early in an immature market. Total failure and shameful.

For me, I owned alot and alot of earbuds ... Over hundred maybe Guess what ... Jabra wasn't among these earbuds Why ?! I don't know 😂🤷 Maybe they were expensive ?! Maybe they are not the best in market ?! Maybe they don't marketing there products as strong as the other brands ?! RIP jabra

So many bots.. Anyway this is honeslty just sad. I've recently really considered buying a pair of Elite 10s but now... i don't know.

I personally think Jabra makes some of the best sports/durable earbuds on the market and the decision to do this is a very unfortunate one. Now I really hope JayBird gives us a updated Vistas

The fall of Jabra in the TWS segment is normal, and many other brands will have the same fate. Everyone has fallen into the trap of wanting to sell at the same price as Apple, without having Apple's ultra-loyal customer base 🤷🏽‍♂️ The only ones who will be able to hold out are brands like Samsung, Huawei, Oppo..., which contrary to the prices displayed for their TWS, most often sell them at half price, or attach them to pre-orders/bundle, or even brands like Soundcore, Earfun, Tozo..., who have understood that they are not Apple, and that $100-$150 for TWS is already quite expensive considering the current market.

I love jabra its makes me sad

Jabra elite 10 is great

Finally, I`m tired with my Elite 7 Pro, laggy shit! Never buy again. 65T were fantastic, but their new tws are shit.

I have never used this brand and l cannot say they were good or otherwise. Sadly their name and some of their brand names especially the Jawbone just rubbed me up the wrong way. l do get it it was about the bone conduction technology but just the name instead of making me curious made me avoid them at all costs. I know this is probably very shallow of me as well as not being fair on them but sometimes companies should not put any impediments on their products real or imagined. Anyway l guess this is probably just unique to me.

★★★★★★

The crappy 7 series killed them

F jabra for the last 7 yrs worst customer service I've ever experienced haven't bought anything since

sad

Very sad info.

since the 65t -- the early days of TWE -- i've never been without my Jabras. hate to see them go. hope to catch some great closing sales, too. jabra over airpods anyday. /Bklyn👑
