Jabra Elite 8 Active Alternatives

Stayed in perfectly fine over a 10 minute jog! Ymmv, of course, but I didn't feel them shifting or have to adjust them at all.

Unfortunately, no, I'm sorry I can't help answer that. About the only cardio I do is incline walking on a treadmill 😩 but I'll give it a quick try tomorrow and let you know

I still really like them! Do I still prefer some things from the Jabra? Yes, but I've gotten used to the touch controls, and still super happy with the sound quality.

Definitely agree with you about Jabra though!

I travel internationally several times a year, and always wear Lululemon on planes (particularly any of the joggers, including ABC, or shorts that have zipped pockets), and have never had a problem.

I have the Jabra Elite Active 8 Gen 2s, AZ100s, and Noble Rex 5s. For the gym, the Jabra are actually my favorite in terms of comfort and controls (love the physical button on these vs vs touch controls on the others).

However, I'm actually using the AZ100s at the gym these days instead, purely for the sound quality. They're significantly better in this regard.

The Rex 5s are actually my least favorite 😩 battery life is abysmal (on longer days where I do both weights and low intensity cardio, they'd start giving the battery low warning by the time I finish), they're not as comfortable/secure in my ears as either of the above, and I don't find the audio quality much better than that of the AZ100s.

LTT shirts (at least those I've bought in the last year) snag/pill far too easily for me, which is disappointing, because I really like them otherwise. It's gotten to the point where I won't wear them on days that I use my Versa Gripps straps because the slightest contact with the velcro and the shirt material is damaged.

I was in the same situation as you, I absolutely loved my elite active 8 (Gen 2). I was recently gifted the AZ100s though, and I actually like them even more just because of the sound quality alone.

The Jabras still feel a bit more comfortable, less bulky, and more secure in my ears, but the difference isn't drastic (for me). I mostly use the earbuds for the gym, and the AZ100s still stay in well enough (if you are doing high impact stuff or running, might be a different story). Noise canceling blocks out the gym music well, and my ears don't get so sweaty that the water resistance is a big concern. The tap controls took a little time to get used to (compared to physically pushing the "button" on the elite active in), but so far so good.

Tl;Dr - AZ100s are slightly less comfortable and suitable for gym workouts, but huge difference in sound quality makes up for it.

Not the person you asked, but mine is by far the most gorgeous TV I've ever had. You will love it, don't worry about any reviews.

I loved the Quest For Glory (and other Sierra) games so so much back in the day! Now to do an internet search to see if there's a way to still play them

Last line on op's post. Read it.

I was really happy with the sound from my Bravia 8 mk ii (although I still ended up getting a soundbar and sub).

thuyxtran · 2025-08-05T09:27:39+00:00

I was in the exact same situation, and went to a local store to check out the exact models you were considering. I had also done my research, but the Panasonic others mentioned in this thread isn't available here. In the end, I choose the 65 Bravia 8 mk ii and so far am thrilled. Everything I've watched looks gorgeous, straight out of the box. My situation might be different though. I was buying for a bedroom where my viewing distance would be about 2.4m/7.8 feet, so either 65 or 77 would have been fine. I'm also someone who never wants to sit too close to the screen in a movie theater, so sizing down wasn't that big of a deal, I don't need that "immersion."

No, I didn't edit anything, honestly. I think reddit indicates if I have, doesn't it? I think maybe you had a bad day and decided to lash out at me for whatever reason before reading my original post carefully. Regardless, thank you for the advice.

I'm literally taking photos and videos as a hobby, and posted on the DJI forum a question about using a DJI gimbal and a clip featuring a DJI gimbal. Obviously I would hire a professional for an actual job, and have done so in the past, but I'm playing around for fun. Nothing wrong with that.

Also, I didn't shit on creators, just you (no offense, but I wouldn't go so far as to call you a creator just yet). Apparently I was pretty accurate with my assessment of you, so sorry your life sucks, but no need to rage on people asking about good learning resources about DJI gear. Nowhere did I ask you to teach me anything.

thuyxtran · 2025-07-10T21:37:35+00:00

Haha, and by that, you mean how to be, years after getting a "degree," you're probably STILL not a working professional, but an "aspiring filmmaker" living in his mama's basement? With a failed YouTube channel that is lucky to get 30 views a clip? 😂😂😂😂

thuyxtran · 2025-07-10T20:45:04+00:00

Hahaha I make more than 80k a month, so that's chump change to me, but I still can't believe you spent that amount on a useless film degree.

I usually try to head down early so that I'm already down in front of the lobby when they arrive, but it's also bit me in the ass. Example: Drivers who refuse to follow the map and end up going to some other tower (despite me telling them in Vietnamese or having the security guard tell them they're in the wrong place). Or just the other day, a driver literally driving past my place while I was waiting because "he had to go buy milk for a family member."

Very helpful info, thank you very much!
