Jabra Elite 65t Active or AirPods 2

[dotzero123]

What are everyone's thoughts on the best true wireless bluetooth?

I currently use Bose Soundsport for running and love them. I'd like to try a true wireless set for use with my Mac and also for running. I've heard great things about the Jabra Elite 65t, like the low-profile and the fact that they are waterproof. I'm also a bit hesitant to purchase AirPods now because the technology is a bit long in the tooth and also because Apple will not warranty them past 1 year. Should I try the Jabra or wait to see what Apple will do with the next AirPods? Is everyone expecting a March release for AirPods 2?

For sound the Master & Dynamic MW07 or Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless.

They look amazing/1 I'll have to see if they are sweat proof. The Bose sport wireless look good too but they are huge!

Think they are both IPX 4 (splash proof).

Not a fan of Bose to be honest or the sound.

I can definitely vouch for the Jabra's. I bought the elite 65t's when they were released and I absolutely love them. My ears are really small so the airpods don't really fit properly, they get loose and eventually slide off when I move, even walking..... so that wasn't an option.
I went with the Jabra's and the fit is great, they feel so comfortable and seal out any outside noise wonderfully. I am able to go jogging, even play sports with them on and they don't budge...
Sound is really loud and connection is solid with an iPhone X and apple watch. I am not an audiophile so not really picky about sound quality, but to me they sound really good, crisp sound, very clear and base comes through nicely... Also the Jabra app allows you to tweak it to your liking either manually or with some pre-sets.
They are really light and I could wear them for hours without bothering my ears, plus have a nice low profile that sits flush with your ear so it looks nice..... and battery life is phenomenal, about 15 hours total with the charging case. I usually go over a week without even thinking of charging them so they hold charge really well when standing by. They turn on and pair instantly when you remove them from the case, and disconnect when you place them in....

If I have one complaint it would be that the case is just slightly bulky when placing them in jean pockets but aside from the airpods I think they are all like this...... and that the headphones don't snap in magnetically on the charger, but again not a big deal, there is a nice groove to place them in so its ok.

Thanks for your recommendations! Is there a real world difference between IPX rating of 4, 5 and 6? I'm not a massive sweat person but curious as to what the appreciable difference would be.

Had all 3 of them .. between the 3

Bose Soundsport Free -> best sound / worst calls as only 1 earbud and weak if any noise cancelation /great fit / video lag /
Airpods -> worst sound / best for calls / good fit (depends on your ears, wouldn't run with them) / no video lag /
Jabra 65T Elite active -> 2nd place sound / 2nd place calls / great fit / no video lag

The Jabra also can connect to more devices at the same time ...

They are the Allrounder
