Run and Talk

The Jabra Elite Active 65t is an accumulation of the long service and in-depth expertise Jabra is famous for. While I did look forward to trying out these sporty in-ears after the Editor called to confirm the assignment, the device looks and feels a little too simple. For something that is supposedly premium, it doesn’t go beyond offering the basics in the package. Even so, the overall design and personal functions have gone all-out to impress. Beyond responsive controls, the ‘Active’ aspect promises IP56 protection.

Easy and Intuitive

Before going into the role of the Jabra Elite Active 65t, let’s focus on the intuitive controls first – on the left is the volume control button, while the power/call/music playback controls are on the right. Personally, they are easy to engage. Just as easy to manage is the Bluetooth pairing as all one needs is the Jabra App. This sort of intuitiveness is also present in the user experience these in-ears offer. Solid sound stage delivery aside, it also sports an embedded integrated motion sensor for enhanced activity tracking.

Functional and Reliable

With just a glance, the Jabra Elite Active 65t is obviously an outstanding device. This review confirms this fact; in fact, the in-ears are comfortable to wear and produces a crispy audio field. It’s a huge bonus that the batteries last a fair bit – five hours of non-stop use with one charge. With the case around, it can go up to 15-hours on paper. The most favoured aspect, personally, is the Jabra HearThrough. This feature allows ambient sound to filter through via external mics for constant user awareness.
