JabraElite Active 45e Wireless Sports Earbuds, Mint – Alexa Built-in Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds, Around-The-Neck Style with a Secure Fit and Superior Sound, Long Battery Life, Ideal for Running

I've had my pair for 8 months, use them almost daily, and am very pleased with them. I'm pretty surprised by the mixed reviews, because these are the best wireless earbuds I've owned and far exceeded the comparable Jaybird X2s I had before.- Battery of 6-8 hours, and they recharge very quickly.- Great balance of of audio and exterior noise. This is the reason they're my go-to audio device. I can hear my wife or kids ask me a question or a car coming up on me during a run. But the audio still sounds really good. I mostly do audiobooks, and am not any kind of audiophile, so I will just say music sounds good to me!- They're comfortable. Because of the short connecting cable and ear clips, they never fall out or get lost, and they never need pushed into the ear (ouch!) or finagled with.- The previous 2 reasons mean I can wear these all day and not feel guilty about ignoring my surroundings or my ears getting uncomfortable. I forget I have them in all the time, and that's a good thing.- The mic works great with the supporting mobile app. I do calls outside with cars going by and birds chirping, and all of that gets filtered out effectively.Strongly recommend. 5/5 stars.

Honestly, at first, I really wasn’t sure I liked these. I couldn’t figure them out for awhile. However, after getting the hang of them, I love, love, love them!! The battery power is amazing. They fit so well in my ear that my sound quality is definitely improved. I hate ear buds that constantly fall out—that has never happened once with these. The app offers some very, very cool options (and that was another thing that I didn’t catch onto immediately); so I can hear in a human’s voice how much power remains when I first put them on (or I can use the default tone and look at the battery power indicator on my devices). My only disappointment is that the connecting cord seems just a little bit short? I’m used to being able to hang ear buds over my shoulder when not in use. That’s just my personal bug-a-boo. They are so good, I plan to buy another set soon.

Bought these 11 months ago to listen to podcasts while hiking, used several times a week and also daily during summer travel. Pros: sound good, can hear environmental sounds for situation awareness, long battery life, waterproof enough for rain, wire helps prevent losing buds in vegetation. Cons: wires too stiff, causing right earpiece to constantly wriggle out due to the motion conveyed to it. If I find it unpaired at the trail head can be hard to remember how to repair it without instructions. And now, 11 months later rubber wire sheath is splitting open, exposing the internal wires. Debating about whether to buy another pair knowing the hassles and they will only last a year.

Others have noted that the cord is too short, so add me to the list. Tried as I might, I could not get the earpieces to stay in, and having extra length would help.The app worked fine, and I selected Alexa as my PA. But I could not get Alexa to do what I wanted. "Play X on TuneIn (or) IHeart" resulted in "I cannot play from (that app) on that device". Fairness: I cannot tell if that is a Jabra issue or my fault.

I was so happy with these initially. The sound is wonderful. I also experienced good battery life, unlike some of the other reviewers. However, look carefully at the design and you'll see they are much bulkier than most similarly targeted headphones. And there is the problem. The larger, bulkier design seems to give the earphone momentum when you move and it shifts position and then will fall. At first, the problem was less, likely because the silicone was new, but with some use, they simply won't stay in my ear for any length of time during exercise activity such as jogging, running or jumping. I tried to adjust them somehow to stay in better, but there is no real way to do this. Other earphones I have are much better in this area. So while the sound is great, and I love the clarity and volume, these need a redesign to actually stay in the ear while the person is moving. If they did that they'd be a 10 out of 10. But since they don't, they are a fail for use as exercise earphones. It isn't practical to keep stopping exercise to pick up your earphones.

I've been looking for a solid pair of outdoor bluetooth headphones for months, and after trying several found this to be the best one. Once you get used to how they sit over your ear and the buds need to be turned slightly up in the front in each ear for them to really grab hold, they're a perfect fit. No previous earbuds would stay in comfortably when running or at the gym.The app associated with the headphones allowed me to boost the low end enough to where I was happy with the sound balance. I can still hear the outside world when running (which is what you want). Really clear mid and highs, and no problems connecting to iPhones. Would definitely buy again.

I have been using the Jabra Elite 45 for a few months now and I have been very pleased with it. I tried a few more expensive brands, most either quit working or came of my ear while working out. I wanted something that clipped around my ear because I sweat a lot while working out and in the ear clips kept falling out. The Jabra has never came out. The clip can be adjusted to fit your ear, and is comfortable. At first it seemed as if i had to charge it frequently, but now I only charge it once a week after 4 days of use. Sound quality is good, not great, but those earphones stopped working or came out.
