Jabra's sweat-resistant Elite Active 65t is a practically perfect, completely cord-free headset.

The IP56 rating, secure fit, and nifty activity-related features also make these earphones a solid option for fitness enthusiasts. Those not interested in the fitness features can take a look at the Jabra Elite 65t, which costs around Rs. 1,000 less and also delivers great sound quality.

Great-sounding wireless buds, for in and out of the gym, but a few usability niggles keep them from being perfect.

By RTings on August 01, 2018 70

The Jabra Elite Active 65t are decent mixed usage truly wireless in-ears and a slight improvement to the Jabra Elite 65t's design. They are a bit more sweat resistant and the matte finish and cool blue color scheme look slightly more premium. They also have a more reliable case that will better protect the earbuds and will not open at the slightest impact. They're easy to use, portable and a good option for sports. They also block enough noise passively to be suitable for commuting and the office.

If you like to listen to music when you workout and want to enjoy a cord-free setup, then it is tough to beat the Jabra Elite Active 65t. If you don't need the advanced fitness analysis provided in the Elite Sport and want to save some money then you can't go wrong with the Elite Active 65t.

The Jabra Active Elite 65t truly wireless earphones are the best alternative to Apple's AirPods, but the stepdown non-Elite model will save you a bit of cash.

By TheMasterSwitch on February 04, 2019

We think the Jabra Elite Active 65t are best earbuds currently available. They aren't perfect, but they do so many things so well that it would be crazy to put anything else above them.

By TechBuzzIreland on December 11, 2018

Overall I think these are a worthy purchase especially in this colourway if you want something different and that stands out. Some might say at the higher end of the scale when it comes to pricing but what you get is a good solid product that is ideal for those on the go and who workout or jog, Jabra are a long time in this business and deliver on all aspects.

By Forbes on November 02, 2018

If you’re looking for premium looking sports headphones and don’t want a wire that gets in your way, go with the truly wireless Jabra Elite Active 65t. They are very portable, and their case should easily fit in most pockets. Their sound reproduction is good and they passively isolate noise very well. They are as good for your daily commute and crowded gym as well as being a decent option to use at the office or just for listening to music.
