Jabra Elite 85t
Sometimes the book was getting so good I would spend an extra hour meandering around before returning home.Worth a shot. Also, bluetooth headphones are a must (I use Jabra Elites). Accidentally karate-chopping some wired headphones out of your ears makes them insufferable during exercise
Sound Quality
Corsair Void RGB Elite
I am returning these and going for the Sennheiser set and hopefully the sound quality, setup and design will be better with those, even though the reviews are kind of terrible too. Also, they took forever to get here. I ordered them on the 9th and they got here on the 14th. Not as quick as advertised when buying
Jabra Elite 85t
There's an equalizer you can play around with in Jabra's Sound Plus app for iOS and Android that allows you to tweak the sound profile. I mainly stuck with the default neutral setting because I didn't think the sound was improved by changing to any of the preset EQ offerings or creating a custom setting on my own. But maybe you'll have a different opinion.
Battery Life
Corsair Void RGB Elite
This is the third Corsair product I've encountered issues with, either within a very short amount of time using or out of the box. The wireless function of the headset is nice and convenient, the headset is comfortable, and the audio quality is good AFTER installing iCUE and setting your preferences. The battery life is abysmal. My product had issues out of the box, where it will not charge beyond 78% regardless of how long it is charging, and the battery drains at what seems like a very quick pace (two hours and half that 78% charge is gone)
Jabra Elite 85t
Not to smash on the Air-pods, but these 75t's stay in my ears, I don't have a fear of them falling out during workouts, and they fit just as snugly (heck if not better) as the 65t's. I'm excited to use these in the warmer months on my longer bike rides. I think just the extra battery life these things pack to last me the work day and not need to do a mid day charge is a huge win and a reason to purchase and or upgrade.
Durability
Corsair Void RGB Elite
I can unplug them in the morning and be absolutely certain they will get me through a full work day. If I forget to charge them at night, they will still be fine for at least a few hours the next morning. Their connectivity has been rock solid - never disconnected unless I disconnect them by walking too far away, and then reconnecting instantly. I also love the flip-up micr acting as a mute switch not visible to others on a Zoom call
Jabra Elite 85t
Hello u/JoinMyFamily, At this time, we do not recommend using your phone to charge your Jabra Elite 85t if that is how you charge your device. You can charge the Jabra Elite 85t using a wall adapter with a voltage of 5v +- 0.25v and the cable we provide or a wireless charging pad with the following requirements: 5V +0.25/-0
Price Point
Corsair Void RGB Elite
These are not worth the price at all. I typically buy headphones that I can switch between gaming and recording audio on, and I can already tell that trying to record music with these is going to be useless. I am returning these and going for the Sennheiser set and hopefully the sound quality, setup and design will be better with those, even though the reviews are kind of terrible too. Also, they took forever to get here
Jabra Elite 85t
At this time - for me - I found the 85t's checked off all the right boxes - AND the price is excellent for what you get (Mine were $179)
Fit
Corsair Void RGB Elite
Comfortable headset for larger head, falls off of smaller heads. The ear cuffs rotate so you can lay the headset flat on the table. The ear cuffs are comfortable and not hot. Decent quality audio and mic
Jabra Elite 85t
Over time, as their price comes down a bit, the Elite 85t's appeal will grow. They're a very good set of true-wireless earbuds. However, they don't have quite enough wow factor to make me tell you to go run out and buy them without hesitation over other competitors in this price class. But keep them on your radar

Jabra Elite 85t
Hello u/Affectionate_Ad3164, Once you have found an eargel for your Jabra Elite 85t earbud that fits snuggly without being too tight, you will need to make sure you have the right adjustment with the earbud. We recommend angling the microphones on your earbuds downward when putting your earbuds in your ears. When your earbuds are in your ears, twist them counterclockwise, so the microphones are flush against your tragus. Keep in mind you may need to mix and match the size of your eargels per earbud
Noise Cancellation
Corsair Void RGB Elite
Love this headset! I have a newborn at home and these are perfect for work calls since I am working from home. it is noise cancelling enough and I love that the microphone mutes automatically when you lift it up so if i need to yell something out at home, no one on the call can hear. Would highly recommend
Jabra Elite 85t
What I didn't anticipate, however, was that it would also add noise cancellation to the earlier Elite 75t and Elite Active 75t via a firmware upgrade. This gives you two Jabra noise-canceling options, one significantly less expensive than the other, which might leave you wondering which one to get. The answer isn't totally clear, though the 85t sounds better.
