Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 Review: An almost flawless conclusion of the brand’s ear headphones

The Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 review is a sweet experience and a large extent, as you see that it will become some wireless earphones that Jabra produces at all. If it turns out that it is not big, do not worry, but if it is excellent, we will never know how future repetitions may exceed. On paper, Elite 8 Gen 2 is marketed as high -end ear hearing with modern features; In addition, it is waterproof and characterized by a military degree. After the test, I can say a firm belief that it is a shame that this is the last – but what is a high outfit.

What is useful in Jabra Elite 8 Gen 2?

All they claim is

The Gen 2 Active Earphone has a rugged design that makes it prominently stand out. The IP68 classification of the buds is impressive in itself, as 6 means full protection from entering solid materials such as sand and dust, while 8 mean that they are completely waterproof, rather than the most common “water resistance” that most devices are classified.

Elite 8 Active Gen 2 can be immersed depth like a meter underwater for up to 30 minutes and remains safe. The case of charging is classified only IP54, which means that it is resistant to dust and spots, but you don’t want to overcome it. However, this is better than many other ear headphones charging that has no water -resistant classification at all.

If the waterproofing is the only positive, then it will be good but not really terrible. What sends these earphones on the top in the promotion section is that they were also tested to resist extremist temperatures, as well as drop, crush and abuse in general to obtain a MIL-810H certificate.

During my weekly with Elite 8 Active Gen 2, earphones and charging status survived in the rain and on a sandy beach, as well as harsh and inevitable working conditions associated with agricultural work, making annihilation, and digging a 150 -foot channel trench. Despite all this, they still look and work like new.

Of course, the strong headphones without good sound quality are not good, so I am pleased to inform you that Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 offers an excellent sound. It features a balanced audio definition file, with a dedicated EQ of EQ appropriate to the application. I usually assemble the middle and reinforce Treble/Bass, and I was happy to discover that the pre -preparation for activation did so completely. I listened to a set of songs from a new album physicalWith the earphones with an excellent job in presenting heavy rock songs such as If he is not hurt and Free fall.

Elite 8 Active Gen 2 works well through the wide music spectrum; They played 2Cello cover from stunnedAnd that I used for a long time as a standard to compare different sound devices, well. They are great in serving pop tones, such as Backer amazingAnd classic music.

I used the LE-AUDIO charging status, and included USB-C to AUX AUX to connect Elite 8 Active Gen 2 to the old Sony Walkman to listen to Tchaikovsky on Cassett tape. This ability to listen to any AUX output on wireless ear headphones has a lot of possible applications, such as airlines, television or gym equipment. Election 8 active GEN 2 makes ancient technology. But the quality of the call is good, if there is nothing especially special.

These are relatively large earphones, and while I tend to prefer the lower designs, Elite 8 Active Gen 2 is very comfortable, with several options of alternative ear tip sizes listed in the box. I managed to wear it for hours at one time without disturbing. Buds are controlled by large buttons, by touch, which is the best capacity control control. They do not need much pressure to activate, but I also did not press her by mistake.

Jabra Sound+ includes some great additional functions, including the above tie. Excellent abolition of the active noise in these buds, as with heart attack. I have found that heartburn is particularly impressive due to its natural delivery of the external sound with the relative minimum noise. I often do household chores on the farm while inserting only one buds, and listening to audio books. With the empowerment of Hearthrough, I almost forgot that I was wearing permission sometimes. In fact, I ended up using a hyracthrough virtual mode, which is not something I have previously done with headphones.

Cute Dolby Spacial. Although it does not significantly affect, I appreciate the additional depth that it adds to Soundstage ‘Earbuds, and I used it for most of my time in the earphones test. It is also a good idea to be the vocal parts, such as waterfalls, caves, white noise, the ideal storm, etc., in the application. Listening to a waterfall while writing this review was soothing and helped me focus on the task.

The charging tray features a fairly unusual design in which the top of the cap is flat and a USB-C port on the opposite curved side, making it normal to put the box upside down on flat surfaces. Case Slim design allows to fit well in my pocket, and though, it features a large battery and wireless charging capacity. You can get up to 56 hours of operation time with ELITE 8 Active Gen 2 (including case), and buds can save up to 14 hours of operation without the need to issue it in the case.

What is bad in Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2?

The truth is that there is nothing really wrong with these earphones. They lack some additional features that you may find in competing headphones, such as Dolby Head tracking, and some people can not care about the control scheme.

Although I love the big physical button, you should press it for activation, which also means you press your ear. I did not find this annoying, which is much better than the same button on Beats Solo, but it may bother you.

Otherwise, the only negative side to Jabra Elite 8 Gen 2 is that there will never be Gen 3, although there is not much that can be improved. I could have seen a switch to a capacity -pressing control system such as Noteing Ear (A), and perhaps threw some new features such as the dolby head followed above, and perhaps moving to the largest engines in Elite 10. However, at the end of the day, Elite 8 Active Gen 2 is largely closer.

Should you buy it?

If you are looking for solid wireless earphones and fully water resistant to also offer excellent sound quality, Jabra Elite 8 Gen 2 completes it completely, along with some really great features. I found that I had no real complaints, and I was struggled to include anything negative. The bottom line is that I strongly recommend Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2. It is a great conclusion to a legendary line of earphones.
