Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been using this product for over 6 months now while working the shipping department at a Distribution Center. Lifting boxes for 12 hours straight. Connection to my cell phone is quick and easy right out of the box. As soon as you pull the right bus out of the case thereafter, it will connect automatically. Sound quality is excellent. Easily on par with my V-moda M100 headphones, though not as nice as my Sennheiser 85s. There is a bit of audio delay, unfortunately, so they can't be used with apps like Smule. They fit nicely, and I haven't had them fall out except for when I tried to wear them under my Shoei motorcycle helmet. Even then, they were comfortable, and only popped out because my helmet is very snug, so it gripped the buds when taking it off. Though, to be honest, it took some time to get accustomed to the things. The same design that keeps them locked in place can cause a bit of pain until either they get broken in or your ears do. The battery life is fantastic! As I said, I wear at least the right earbud at work, typically for at least 4 hours at a time, and they charge enough during my 20 minute break window to keep going for another 4 hours. It's absolutely brilliant. The only time they've ever died on me was when I forgot I was wearing them and didn't put them in the charging case. Even then, it was a quick 30 minutes in my pocket, then back to death metal. The hear-through technology is great when I'm walking around Walmart or something, and at times is even better than natural acoustics. However, if you work near machinery like I do, you'll want to turn it off unless you can dance to the sound of screeching and distortion. But, it's really easy to turn off in the app. Voice communication is crystal clear coming through the JE65's as well. I can't comment on what the other party can hear, but I haven't had any issues at all except people sometimes ask if I'm okay because I look like I'm talking to myself (I have shoulder length hair, so these things are invisible to onlookers when I wear them). Alright, so here's my biggest selling point. That's right, not the audio, not the battery, not the secure fit, but rather the unbelievable durability. I've used them for 6 months in a warehouse. I once dropped the case (with the left earbud inside) and the right earbud (which I had popped out to concentrate for a moment) from my pocket onto a concrete floor from 15ft scaffolding. The right earbud looks good as new. The case has some scuff-marks but opens, closed, and charges just like it's supposed to. I didn't find the right earbud until I had clocked out and used my phone's disconnection radius to triangulate the signal. Any audio device that can survive the kind of abuse my earbuds have taken deserves a 5-star rating. A word to the wise, place your JE65s in the top of the case, aligned with the mold, then close the bottom. Perfect charging connection every time. So, why should you buy the Jabra Elite 65s? - Long lasting - Tough and durable - Very loud when appropriate - Can be painful at first, but never falls out Coincidentally, the same list my wife gave me after our honeymoon.
