Noise Cancellation

Great for desk. Not great for activities.

It happens on every level of noise cancelling, between 'hear-through', 'ANC', and 'off'. They Won't Always Stay In. Again, I bought these to replace my gym earbuds, and am disappointed that they don't stay put as well as my previous pair, despite being marketed as 'active'. The worst part is that I can't even feel them falling out until they do

Skullcandy Indy ANC Review

Available in black, the Indy ANC earpieces are stems that dock into a rather bulky charging case. The earpieces have a secure fit, thanks largely to the combination of included eartips (there are three pairs in S, M, and L) and sleeves (two pairs are included) that add stability. Internally, each earpiece houses a 12mm driver delivering a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz.

Sound Quality

First Impressions of the Jabra Elite Active 75t

I can't wait until I get to go on a 12-14 hour plane ride and not have my ears ache. * Buttons can be painful to press -- feels like you're jamming the buds into your ear. Active 75t: Seems that it's a bit easier to press but I still have this issue. * Base seems to be lacking but you can modify it via the music equalizer in the app

i spend way too much time thinking about headphones

that's me! I absolutely love my Skullcandy Crusher ANC. Clear and defined mids and highs and a ponderous BASS that shakes your brain!

Battery Life

Not as great as I expected

I didn’t notice a change with ANC on but hear-through is effective. The battery lasts a while. My ears start to ache after a few hours so I don’t ever have them in long enough to drain the battery. The case is sturdy and the material coating the buds and case feels soft and sleek

They’re so-so…just say no.

Along with the poor battery life and glitchy pairing, it’s not worth the hassle, pain, or risk of loss. I bought these from the open-box discount Amazon listing. I did a thorough cleaning of them and also found they still has the previous customer hearing profile stored when I sync’d them with the app. The set was missing one of the large size in-ear gels

Fit

fall out of ears

annoying. Desired: I wish they would stay in the ears better--I think the silicone ear pieces could be designed a bit longer and more form fitting maybe or maybe the unit could be brought closer to the head. I wish they had deeper base

These are a solid OK!

I also get a static sound pretty frequently which requires me to pause and restart playing music. In the end, I do not think I would buy these again unless they come out w/a better version. If they could make earbuds with this fit and work like some others, they would be perfect. Until then I'll use these until they die and probably not replace them w/more SkullCandy earbuds unless some improvements are made

Durability

Nice headphones hobbled by bugs

The previous model, the 65t, were just slightly too big and made my ears hurt after just 5–15 minutes. Same with other Bluetooth headphones. The 75t are comfortable enough for me to wear for hours. * The small charging case is pretty great

Skullcandy Indy Truly Wireless Earbuds review: Inexpensive true wireless headphones that don't quite stand out

When you take a reference headphone design out of a factory in China like Skullcandy has done (it happens to be a reference design I like), it needs to perform better than other models that look like it and cost the same or less. Skullcandy Indy features, according to Skullcandy: Bluetooth 5.0 Up to 16 total hours of battery life Up to 4 hours of battery in earbuds IP55 sweat-, water- and dirt-resistant Removable Stability Gel Noise-isolating fit Call, track, volume control via Touch Control Microphone

Comfort

Great Overall User Experience

* Fairly comfortable for hours of daily usage. My inner ears do get a bit itchy now and then, but it's not painful to wear for extended usage. * User controls on the buttons -- including volume control. Once you learn the controls they are very helpful

Great , but slight irritation after a while .

Even tho I loose the higher amplification in the ambient to where I could hear threw walls but these are more comfortable .

Bluetooth Connectivity

Are anyone of the Active 75t users feeling a crackling or hissing sound in left earbuds after the update ?

So I replaced my previous Jabra Elite Active 75t sports for a new one since the other one had the said issue on the left earbud and it's ANC was working poorly. Today I got my replacement and I was careful enough to use it first without updating to observe the sound quality and ANC improvement (wrt to previous one I had). After the update I saw that ANC has improved but the crackling sound started appearing in the left earbud. Hey u/jabrasupport , has Jabra acknowledged this issue assuming it is widespread and will there be a firmware update in the upcoming days ?

Great packaging & noise cancellation; Bad pairing & functionality

THE GOOD: Sound: The sound is WAY better than any other bluetooth earbuds I’ve tried, hands down. The noise cancellation is awesome - I’ve been on the phone with someone while breaking down boxes and (later) starting the washing machine, and they could not tell at all. Packaging: The packaging is really sleek - it feels very refined, expensive, and high-end. It almost reminds me of Apple packaging in the sleekness

Warranty

Rant :jabra india service partner is pathetic!!!

After umpteen emails exchanged over a period of 1 month .I finally got a confirmation mail for warranty replacement for my 75 t elite active earbuds(various issues with anc on calls and unwanted sounds emanating out of them).Now they tell me that I ve to travel 1300km from my hometown in kochi to pune to get them replaced!!! !Are you kidding me!. And to think of it it took them a month to tell me this

Do not buy these

They were not willing to take into consideration the fact that these are perhaps defective from the manufacture because of the fact that either the left or the right going out is a very common issue. I contacted the manufacturer to see if I can make a warranty claim. I can because they are covered for two years with manufacturers warranty. That’s also a pain in the ass
