INTRODUCTION

   Working out while listening to music has always been a serious issue for many people (myself included) especially for those who also like to run large distances and although stability may be the most crucial factor audio quality and resistance to sweat are two things many have been looking for. I realize that many people don't think that sweat is sufficient to render any headset inoperable (must have had that discussion with friends over a dozen times) but over the years I’ve had several models fail because of that (including some far from what anyone would call affordable) so my experience says otherwise. Unfortunately there aren't that many sweat/water resistant wireless headsets out in the market that also feature good audio quality and stability so the Elite Sport by Jabra have been the best solution to date for me ever since i first got my hands on them in August of last year. This may however change since today's review is about the latest Elite Active 65t True Wireless Earbuds again by Jabra.

   If our review of the in-ear Elite 65t didn't fly under your radar then it shouldn't be a surprise to you that the Elite Active 65t is basically identical to the Elite 65t with the addition of IP56 rating which renders it water and dust resistant. Granted this is not as "impressive" as the IP67 rating of the older Elite Sport model but it's something we felt was missing from the regular Elite 65t model. So once again inside the Elite Active 65t Jabra has squeezed two 6mm dynamic drivers (20Hz-20KHz frequency response with 16Ohm impedance, 103dB sensitivity and 8mW max input), 4 digital MEMS microphones (100Hz-10KHz frequency range with -38dB sensitivity - microelectrical-mechanical system microphones offer advanced noise cancellation with hearthrough and sidetone controls), motion sensor (accelerometer), lithium-ion rechargeable battery packs (power the earphones with up to 5 hours of continuous use) and Bluetooth v5.0 connectivity (10 meters range/ 2 simultenously connected devices/ up to 8 paired devices in total) complete with all the latest profiles (A2DP v1.3/ AVRCP v1.6/ HFP v1.7/ HP v1.2/ PBAP v1.1). Of course just like both the Elite 65t and the Elite Sport before that the Elite Active 65t is bundled with a compact charging case which can provide both earphones with 10 extra hours of battery life.
