I was looking for earphones with two specific properties.
After in-depth research and reading almost all the reviews, I decided on these earphones. I was a bit skeptical at first because I had tried Jabra (65T) years ago but was not at all satisfied with the sound quality. My last earphones were from Sony, sound ok but impossible to make calls in noisy places.
Anyway, we're going to give it a chance, I thought, and I'm really very satisfied in all areas, they really are phenomenal earphones. The fact that they are IP68 (completely dustproof, sweatproof and waterproof) provides peace of mind. The case is not too big and can easily be slipped into your pocket.
*Great fit, *Very light *Great sound quality and highly efficient ANC. *The microphone...what clear quality! Does its job in all circumstances. I was even subjected to the 'torture test' by calling next to a lawn mower... on the other hand they could still hear me perfectly.
The price is steep but definitely worth it. I don't know whether the price difference compared to gen1 can be justified.

I've had several other brands but these Jabra earphones are clearly better in my experience. ANC works perfectly and the controls are very easy for everything.

I have been able to try out these earphones in recent weeks and I am very pleased with them. It starts with the packaging, which looks nice and compact and sleek. You are immediately referred to the app, which helps you through the pairing process and shows you all the customizability options during use. I was very surprised by that and it felt like customer service was sitting next to me on the couch without being annoying. The connectivity is very stable and I was able to walk through my entire house without any problems without having connection problems. I do experience that with my other earphones and headphones.
I was always afraid that these types of earphones would easily fall out of my ears, especially because I have a vagus nerve piercing (also known as a daith piercing). That has only happened once in the past few weeks, but that was because I brushed past them with my arm. As long as you don't do that, they sit firmly in your ears. Various eargels are included with the advice to try different sizes. I can also highly recommend the latter because the wearing comfort and sound quality can vary, for example I find them wonderfully light to wear in size S but I experience better sound in size M. I can also imagine that I would change size if, for example, the noise canceling is going to be important.
The battery life of the earphones and the case are great. I have listened a lot in the past week and have only had to charge the case once. The earphones can also be charged in such a short time that you can go on for another hour. If you really can't do without them, you can use the earphones separately when they are about to run out.
The app is a more than valuable addition. They also work fine without them, but with the app the possibilities are endless. I am really surprised by the choices you can make. You can set them completely to your own preference. This applies to both the sound using the equalizer and when using the earphones in terms of actions. With the actions you can set per earphone what happens with which actions. I have never seen such an enormous variety in adjustability before. While using the earphones, you regularly receive specific tips that I found very useful.
What I think is a fantastic option is that you can hang the case on the TV and the sound comes through your earphones. This way you can get lost in gaming or a movie without disturbing your housemates.
The most important thing is of course the sound and that is perfect. This is partly due to the adjustability in the app. The basis is already good, but in the app you can completely adjust it to your own wishes. Or you can use the presets. It is also easy to switch presets so that I can quickly switch between listening to a book or to music with the best settings.
All in all, I highly recommend these earphones. They may be expensive, but you get so much in return that they are more than worth the investment!
