Jabra Sound+

Of all the Bluetooth headphone apps I’ve used over the years (or the Samsung Buds I got that didn’t even have an iOS app) the Jabra app is the first one I’ve ever used nearly every time I use my headphones. Which, because I’m in the car for work a lot and driving the 4 kids to a million activities a week after work, I use my 65T Active Elites about 6 hours a day on average. Love the app. The EQ is respectable. Iit can always get better, but for today’s tech, it’s definitely respectable. The fine tuning is surprisingly responsive. I have EQ presets for podcasts, and the many different genre’s of music I listen to. The Hear Through feature is a life saver. You feel a little like you have a hearing aid on, but, again, for current tech it’s solid. The find my buds needs some work and what they really need is a find my charging case. 😂🤨 I lose my case way more. I can’t give it 5 stars, but it is a solid 4.5 Stars.

The Jabra Elite 75t checks all the boxes. First and foremost the audio quality is superb. You have the ability to tailor the music to your liking with the various presets available via the app (default, bass boost, treble boost, speech, smooth). Not all of the wireless earbuds have this capability. As I mentioned the app is where you can do this as well as for firmware updates which didn’t take a long time. The app also contains a user manual. Let me reiterate...not all wireless earbuds have this capability. Now for the comfort and look - this is where in my opinion Jabra shines. Many of the wireless earbuds on the market today don’t particularly look great in the ear. They are either too big (like the Bose Soundsport Free), too dorky (Apple AirPods), or just odd looking. Creative thought was put into these, for they look and feel just right. I don’t ever feel that they are going to fall out of my ear. If you have that fear then how can you really enjoy them? So from an audio, comfort, and app standpoint they are superb. As for cons I really don’t have any so if you are looking for top quality wireless earbuds that provide what I just discussed then look no further...Jabra Elite 75t!

The Elite 65t earbuds worked fine prior to the latest, October 2019, update. To be honest, my phone's battery is suffering the most due to the latest updates, which I have mentioned above. The left earbud had a horrible time syncing with the update but now it works. However, my iPhone battery is draining so rapidly that I deleted the Jabra Sound+ app just to have enough battery life to make it through the day. But get this, this happens even when the earbuds are not being used!!! Prior to the update, my phone's battery would drop to 78% every day!!! Since the update was installed, my phone's battery drops to 39% by 5:00PM; this NEVER happened, as stated above, before the update was installed. I will now try to re-download the app. I hope this corrects the problem. Regarding sound: I wish they had more depth: the treble levels are stronger than the bass levels. Therefore, melodic music and classical music have strong highs but the depth of the bass, when EQ'ed, becomes a muffled distorted addition to the track. Overall, I enjoy the product but I truly miss the Klipsch and Bose sound I enjoyed when my phone accepted headphones; now I can only use Bluetooth headphones with my new iPhone.

The new app (ver 2.0.1.6 released April 2018) is better in some ways, but worse in others. The good (at least in theory): now there are several profiles for different listening environments. The bad: only one profile is customizable – which is the only one that’s really useful to me anyway due to the lack of customization on the others, and worse, it now makes you go through more steps to reach the equalizer and HearThrough options. Frustrating, since I have to change the EQ twice daily, once for normal daytime listening and once at night to fully lower all frequencies to reduce overall volume as much as possible. (Even with volume set to 1% on iPhone via Siri, the Elite 65t is still too loud for nighttime listening.) The other improvement is that the app now recognizes instantly when you turn HearThrough (ambient sound) on or off via your headset. This wasn’t working before. The app retains its clean, simple, appealing look. Just needs quicker access to options, and more options. Doesn’t seem hard to fix.

Headphone: Elite 85h. App is ok, I mostly like the customizations for voice calls. A couple of issues that need to be worked out though. Connectivity issues happen often where the app does not recognize the headphone as connected, even though it is connected (possibly the Bluetooth LE part). Please add ability to manage Bluetooth connections (similar to Bose and Cortana apps). The Elite 85h is able to connect to 8 devices, but with many devices previously connected laying around the office or at home, it’s difficult to know which ones are connected. The headphone only says “two devices connected” so at the minimum please make it say the names of the devices. If I want to connect another device, I have to disconnect one of the two already connect, then connect the other. It won’t connect to a new device and automatically drop and replace one of the connections. Sometimes I have to go device hunting to see what it’s connected to (iMac, surface, iPhone, iPad)
