This makes sense considering the Elite 8 Active arrive with upgrades.
They may be more expensive, but for the money youre getting superior sound.
I completely agree it adds a more grippy quality.
I doubt theyll suit everyone although I have notoriously tiny ear canals and the small fit was perfect.
A simple twist back in saw them sit securely through the rest of the class.
Theyll also withstand dust clouds and drops of water from more than a meter high.
Its a little bigger than the case that accompanies the Jabra Elite 7 Active and weighs 46.4g.
If you do need to hear sounds around you, the Elite 8 Active buds feature a HearThrough mode.
Note that you might also adjust levels within the app.
Call quality isnt exceptional, but its good, blocking out most exterior sounds.
Unless you need buds for multiple, important calls all-day-long, the Elite 8 Active will suffice.
The Beats PowerBeats Pro offer 9 hours from the buds and only 24 hours in total with the case.
They work well, allowing you to change tracks and adjust the volume.
Another notable feature includes multipoint pairing of up to 10 different devices.
They deliver a super-clear, powerful sound that works across all genres, and a particularly powerful bass.
I wasnt convinced that as much attention had been paid to the mids.
Theres no head-tracking sound here, which might yo some people.

You wont go wrong with the latest from Jabras Active range.
Ideal if youre looking for an all-weather pair of buds.
