Great headphone, comfortable fit, easy to charge, long battery life
Positives
-The headphones are really great at noise cancelling. You do not hear the outside world when you are wearing them.
-Once you get the hang of fitting them in your ear they stay in quite well
-The way they charge in the case is quite clever and easy to charge
-The sound quality is great
-The battery life seems to be quite long, I have only charged them once since getting them and have no idea how many hours I have used them. Feels like at least 20.
-Pairing is super easy. The moment I take them out of the case they immediately pair with my phone
Cons
-Expensive...Read more

Terrible Earbuds
Was hyped to get these earbuds after all the positive reviews I've read about but I am so disappointed.
They fit ok and seem well made but the sound is thin flat and lifeless.
I tweaked them with the Jabra app and tried the different size buds supplied but this made little difference to the sound.
I recently had a set of Bose Soundsport Wireless and they destroyed the Jabras. Even wired Apple EarPods sounds much fuller and richer.
If you just need earpods to make calls they would be adequate but if you listen to music I would look elsewhere.

Hands down best earphones I've ever owned
After owning and using Airpods and Bose Soundsport, I can say these are the highest sound quality, most solid bluetooth connection, and most robust headphones I've ever owned. I don't usually write reviews, but the other day I accidentally left them in the pocket of my jeans and put them in the wash. I was sure they were ruined, but after drying out for a few hours they worked perfectly again. Thoroughly impressed. They've been dropped many times too and they just keep going with fantastic sound quality, great battery life, and perfect sound sync (when you watch a video with them on there is no lag - almost every other brand of wireless headphone has lag, including Bose).

Fantastic when they work, but some minor issues
These have been fantastic, connect really quickly, sound quality is good and hardly any drop offs. Battery life is good and the fit is reasonably comfortable and snug.
Annoyances are that the volume isn't super loud. I listen to a lot of podcasts and even at full volume, it's sometimes only just loud enough (amongst city noises). Also have had some issues with one ear working and the other not. And after about 10 months of use, the bluetooth connection started to drop off and not connect automatically. Thankfully this was within the 12 month warranty, so I was able to get them replaced without too much hassle. Replacements have come and been great so far - hopefully they last this time!

Poor design, quality and connectivity despite flashy extras and high price
These headphones were bought for the intention of using around the house and in the office. They are relatively comfortable to wear for extended periods though could benefit from having rubberised sleeves included in the box as the hard plastic can feel uncomfortable pressed up against my ears.
My son has the JBL Free X and after using both, the Jabra’s seem lacking in a quite a few areas compared to the JBL Free X which were bought for $160 (reduced on sale from $200) compared to the Jabra Elite 65t which were bought for $250 (reduced on sal...Read more
e from $300). As this was our first experience with true wireless earbuds, the JBL served as a reference point to compare to the Jabra even at a $90-$100 cheaper price point. Overall the sound quality and electronic aspects of the earbuds were good while the physical design and ease of use is poor. Positives: - The overall sound quality is good and it is relatively comfortable to wear - There was a dedicated app that could be used when the headphones were paired via Bluetooth to the device. - It showed an accurate percentage remaining of the battery (which seemingly would be more accurate than say the default iOS battery widget which estimates this) - It also allowed for software updates to the earbuds as well as have diagrams to remind the user of how to use the controls. - It also featured Moments. This was a feature that allowed for multiple “Moments” which meant a specific set of settings can be applied for different situations such as “Focus” or “Commute”. The settings that can be adjusted include: HearThrough which plays back outside noise so that you are more aware of your surroundings, an equaliser, settings to have the audio pause when the earbuds are moved away from each other as well as settings controlling how calls through the earbuds sound.Purchased in March 2021 at JB Hi-Fi for A$249.00.

Best truly wireless earbuds
Bought this a week ago and absolutely love it. The app on iOS is really polished and setup was a breeze. I never encountered any issues. blutooth connectivity is fantastic. The case needs some getting used to in opening and closing and once you figure it out you will stop damaging your nails.
They auto pause music when you take them out of your ear and the hear-through functionality is awesome.
The music quality is pretty solid, I mainly bought this as I like mid-ranges, this does not produce thumping bass (I really don't care about thumping bass) the music is overall balanced.

Flat sound, please don't buy.
Flat sound, bad app, bad customer support. High price product and poor performance. Despite following reset instructions no change in poor sound quality. For similar pricing there are better products in market.

Left earbud issues
As another mentioned. The left earbud works for a few minutes out of the case and then drops sound....
It seems to be a connection issue between the left and right but regardless not what you'd expect of a 300 + set of ear buds.

Not worth it.
I bought it specifically because reviews of the product said it is good for calls. I really needed that. It is not. I connected it to my iPhone X. People complain that they can’t hear me clearly and the background noise is awful. I also struggle continuously to connect it to my laptops with Windows 10. Really disappointed that I paid so much for something that does not deliver. Q, Perth.

Excellent!! Best performer. However.......
I'm on my 3rd pair this year as of yesterday.
The first 2 (elite 65t not active) had a fault with the left bud not playing sound, but with buttons still working ie volume and skip tracks etc. Some research and discovered prob pretty common. BUT best buds for me so under warranty so I pick up a new set.
Upped to the actives this time round to break the cycle. 2 year warranty so no worries.
Best in class. Even with problem.
So comfortable I've nearly walked into the shower with them on forgetting I'm still wearing them as they are so light n comfortable.
I've dropped them on concrete and hard floors with no scratches or damage.
Out of work they are always with me. Wallet phone buds.

Great earbuds, however could do with some improvement to connectivity
Had to change the ear tips to bigger ones but once you get a perfect seal on the earbuds, the audio sounds amazing. Connection is mostly fine but sometimes does drop out for half a second and then resumes. Decent product for the amount paid for it.

Waste of money
At first, I thought these wireless EarPods were terrific. That didn't last long, less then a year. Now, they are totally unreliable. I think that they're fully charged and the green lights indicate that they are - but within a short time, I get a warning message saying "Battery low" and then they switch themselves off. So much for charging them up in preparation for use the next day. Phoned Jabra Support and was told to restore default settings and they should be good to go. Made no difference.I think there's something wrong with the design of the charging cradles. My partner bought me Bose ones and there's no comparison. I wish I'd bought these ones first. Don't waste your money.

Can't live without them on my commute, great value for wireless earbuds
Initially did a lot of research into the highest quality product in the market and came upon these. Have always been into Bose for all sound products however after doing a lot of research into the wireless earbuds range, the Jabra 65T Elite was the clear winner. They looked sleeker, fit better and provided the better overall value for money. Battery life isn't too bad, if you're using them consistently you'll find yourself having to charge them every 2 days.
After 3 months of using these for the daily commute, I can honestly say it's been a dr...Read more
eam to use. The only slightly negative is that when you're using them to speak over the phone, the receiver takes a lot of background noise. Maybe not the best to frequently use for important phone calls/phone meetings. Normal phone call use is fine.Purchased in February 2021 at JB Hi-Fi for A$229.00.

Great little ear buds
I bought these to use for overseas trips and when I go walking and it's been perfect! The sound quality is good for what I use it for but if I was really picky, it could be a bit better for listening to music. The only downside is the long term comfort. They start to cause a bit of soreness after wearing them for hours so as long as I take a break in between, they're fine.

Love Them
Was a bit uncomfortable at the start but that's coming from a headphone user. Now I don't even notice I'm wearing them. Great sound and you
can play around with the equaliser with the app. Only issue is the left bud suffers from magnetic interference and can cut out. Which can get annoying.

Shocking sound quality
Poor sound quality, white noise clearly audible when they ‘connect’. Left ear has a rattle sound. Limited bass, limited volume.
I was shocked how bad these were. Not a touch on wife’s air pods.
Luckily I was able to exchange for Bose soundsport free which have excellent acoustics similar to the air pods.
If you want these for quality music listening, avoid!

Pretty much all round awesome but there's one major flaw.
Before I bought these, I researched a lot of the wireless earphones on the market… Jaybird, Samsung, Sony, Bose, Blueant and Cygnet… and the Jabra Elite Active 65t won my own personal scoring system. So, I bought these and used them for around three months and they were perfect. Sound was brilliant, connectivity great, using the app was a breeze and calls were clear. The first time I made a call it was super windy and the person on the other end of the phone call said that they had no problem at all hearing me.
Listening time was around 5 ho...Read more
urs per charge as advertised and the charging box was small and sleek. They fit in the ear comfortably and no fatigue was experienced. The choice of three different-sized ear buds was an expected feature and as always, medium fits me best. Occasionally, I could feel a bud getting loose but all I needed to do was just give it a little push and twist to comfortably lock it into my canal. However, recently I was walking along the sidewalk and suddenly the bud popped out without warning. Unfortunately, it bounced onto the road and unluckily, a car ran over it and busted it open. The worst thing is that it was the bud that has the Bluetooth connectivity so now, I can’t even use the opposite bud to listen to music with one ear ☹ So, these truly great wireless earbuds are not so great when you can’t use them because they are broken. On a positive note, I would 100% recommend these for people to use around the house or office. These buds were so close but oh so far. I will go back to the Bluetooth earphones that have a thick and sturdy cord around the back of the neck.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Listening Freedom
Recent Christmas present and proving an excellent buy. Really good at the gym to work out without wires or hot over ear headphones. Sound quality is perfect with good base. Easy controls and battery better than Bose. Haven't really mastered the app yet however but will soon. Worth considering if you're in the market.

Excellent
Excellent! Have gone through a few headphones and wireless ones too. They don't always have the best sound quality. By far the best one yet. Easy on the ears - great fit. Doesn't hurt like some have. Or fall out very easily. Perfect during exercise. Excellent sound quality. Simple to use and recharge. Nice case for storage and travel. Love the colour, too.

After returning these I purchased Samsung Galaxy Buds. My son had charging issues with the JBL and with my recommendation he got Galaxy Buds too. We both find the Galaxy Buds much better than both our previous models in many ways.
