All You Need to Know About the Jabra Elite 75t:
The Elite 75t earbuds are sleeker, more comfortable, and deliver more entertaining sound than the Jabra Elite 65t
They have an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance, so are suitable for exercising
The earbuds' app has a selection of ambient sounds, so you can get help focusing or relaxing while on the go
Jabra ditched the ancient microUSB port of the Elite 65t for a decidedly more futureproof USB-C connector in the charging case
Sound (8/10)
The Jabra Elite 75t deliver concert-worthy sound, thanks to a powerful bass delivery. I found the latter to be incredibly fun while rocking out to my favorite Massive Attack tracks, but a tad unnecessary when I wanted to enjoy a Miles Davis jazz album. But that brings us to a great feature: If heavy bass isn't for you, simply adjust the headset’s sound to your exact liking via Jabra’s mobile app.
In addition to giving you full control over the equalizer settings, the Jabra app allows you to boost the bass, the treble, or the speech in your sound with a simple tap on your phone’s touchscreen.
The audio performance of the Elite 75t during calls is nothing short of outstanding. With four built-in microphones, the earbuds all but guarantee that your voice will be heard loud and clear regardless of your surroundings.
The earbuds also have a HearThrough mode, which will let ambient noise in to help you be better aware of what's around you. I found the feature to be helpful during my New York City commutes.
Comfort (9/10)
The Jabra Elite 75t earbuds are compact and lightweight (each bud weighs less than 6 grams, which is comparable to the Airpods Pro at 5.4 grams), ensuring a comfort level that few buds can match. Since they come bundled with several sets of ear tips, you're insured a seamless fit.
Design (9/10)
Just like the previous generation, the new buds have plenty of high-tech touches to convince anyone they're top-notch. My favorite bit about the new buds is that thanks to their noticeably more compact size, they look even more understated than the already minimalist-looking Elite 65t. You can order the 75t in two colors: black and titanium.
Rather impressively, despite their minuscule size, the new buds have even better controls than the previous iteration. In addition to being able to fully control the audio playback and phone calls, you can now adjust the volume to your liking by long-pressing the button on the left (volume down) or right (volume up) earbud. During my testing, I found this feature to be insanely convenient.
Battery Performance (9/10)
The Elite 75t wireless earbuds can deliver up to 7.5 hours of audio playback between battery charges. That’s a 50% improvement over the Jabra Elite 65t and in line with the today’s best products in this category. The buds’ charging case holds almost three additional full charges, for a total of 28 hours’ worth of wireless freedom.
During my testing, I found the buds’ battery endurance to be in line with Jabra’s claims. The buds juice up quickly, too — it took just 15 minutes in the charging case to get a full hour of battery life.
Overall (9/10)
The Jabra Elite 75t deliver everything you’d expect from an excellent pair of completely wireless earbuds. They're sleek, durable, comfy, entertaining, reliable during phone calls, and reasonably priced (they cost well $200).
And I'm not the only one who thinks so. David Carnoy from CNET noted that the Jabra Elite 75t are an “all-around excellent set of true wireless earbuds.” A PCMag editor, on the other hand, gave the earbuds a high review score and an Editor’s Choice award.
