Jabra Elite 7 Active Review

If you're looking for a pair of workout-focused earbuds, the Jabra Elite 7 Active are worth checking out. They're a big update over the standard Elite 7 and offer more personalization options, better fit through ShakeGrip coating and improved call performance.

You'll also get plenty of customization via the Sound+ app, including an equalizer with 5 preset sounds and nature or sleep sounds (each can be disabled in the app). ANC and HearThrough are adjustable, as well.

Sound quality

The Elite 7 Active Review is a good choice for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in music while exercising. They're designed for sport and fitness, so you'll appreciate the 6mm drivers that push hard when playing bass-heavy music.

The earbuds can be paired with up to two devices at once, making it easy to switch between them while you're in the gym or on the go. The four microphones, covered with a SAATI Acoustex mesh to protect them from wind noise, are great for taking calls.

They're also compatible with Alexa, so you can ask her to play or pause the music as you work out. In addition, the MySound feature in the Jabra Sound+ app personalizes your music to your hearing.

Noise cancellation

Jabra's Elite series has become some of the most popular True Wireless headsets on the market. The Elite 7 Pro comes with active noise cancelling (ANC), MultiSensor Voice for clear calls and a custom driver, while the water-resistant Elite 7 Active features a 'ShakeGrip' coating on top to keep them secure during workouts.

ANC is one of the main reasons that these 'double' buds serve a good purpose, as it stops unwanted background sounds from intruding on your music or workout. It's adjustable, too, allowing you to choose between five expertly-optimised settings that can be tailored to your own hearing profile.

Another advantage of the Elite 7 Active is the IP57 water and dust resistance, which means it can be used in a variety of different environments. Additionally, it supports Bluetooth 4.2 and works with the Jabra Sound+ app for audio calibration and HearThrough, which uses microphones to relay sounds around you.

Comfort

Jabra's latest 'double' buds serve a good purpose: These exercise-focused headphones are designed to keep you comfortable and secure in the gym, and they're also very durable with IP57 waterproofing. They're covered in a special liquid silicone rubber coating that will keep them in your ears even if you sweat a lot.

The earbuds also come with a "ShakeGrip" coating on top to make them more secure in your ear during workouts. The earbuds feature a microphone mesh that's claimed to reduce wind noise in calls.

They also feature an excellent sound quality with plenty of bass and powerful midrange, as well as a strong airy top end. They're comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time, thanks to the secure fit and adjustable HearThrough.

Call quality

Call quality is one of the best things about Jabra earbuds. The company's latest aces include multiple microphones that let you talk and listen in the same ear, something no other brand can claim. The Elite 7 Active's multipoint acoustic teleconferencing feature is also a winner, as is the impressive battery life and wireless charging.

The Elite 7 Active is a well-made earphone that feels like it was made for you. The ear pads and earmuffs are made from anodized aluminum for durability. The earphones are designed with comfort in mind and come with three sets of ear cushions in different sizes. The earbuds themselves are also a cinch to clean, so they're good to go after a workout. The earbuds may not be the best rated in our testing, but they're still a worthwhile investment.

The most impressive earbuds on the market are probably the ones with the best design and build quality, but they're also likely to have the lowest price. It's worth a closer look to see which model will tickle your fancy, and then make an informed decision.
