What reviewers liked
The Jabra Elite 65t is the first set of true wireless earbuds that we actually love because they sound great, they’re comfortable, and they give you all the experience you expect from standard Bluetooth earbuds, with the bonus of no wires. Unlike many other true wireless earbuds, this pair has both volume and track controls as well as the ability to trigger your digital assistant. The four-microphone array works well to keep your voice sounding crystal clear over phone calls. The Elite 65t earbuds block out most outside noise but have a transparency mode so you can choose to hear your surroundings. Their five-hour battery life per charge is at the higher end of listening time between charges for this category—but still far shorter than the life of standard Bluetooth earbuds.
Great sound quality, secure fit, great for working out
This sports-oriented model from Jabra has a "true wireless" design, which means the earpieces are totally untethered. It delivers very good sound quality and is a good choice for the more critical listener for both music and movie soundtrack playback. The battery life is fairly typical for true wireless earphones at up to 5 hours. The charging/carrying case is rated for two additional charges, and a quick charge function will boost your listening time. Aside from more typical features, it has a few novel additions like the ability to operate with just the right ear piece.
The Jabra Elite 65t are smaller and fit more comfortably than their predecessors. They sound excellent for truly wireless headphones, perform reliably and are great for making calls, with two microphones in each earpiece. Battery life is decent at 5 hours and the included charging case delivers two extra charges.

What reviewers didn't like
Expensive, relatively short battery life
The relatively tight, noise-isolating fit isn't for everyone. You have to step up to the more expensive Elite Active 65t to get a true sports model that offers enhanced sweat-resistance.
Sometimes get uncomfortable during extended listening. No foam tips included. You’ll need a recent phone for best performance. Possible QA issues with some units
Slippery earbuds and case. Limited eartip selection. Limited water resistance
A bit heavy. Lacks Find My Buds functionality
Auto-pair process can be cumbersome, with only one earpiece pairing at times. Not for purists seeking accurate audio.
Somewhat tight fit. Slight connection noise
Call quality suffers in noisy environments. Extended wear gets uncomfortable. On-board controls can be awkward
- Engadget
Not as comfortable for everyone. Mediocre build quality for the case.
