The Jabra Elite 75t Truly Wireless are a decent pair of truly wireless in-ears that are a good upgrade to the popular Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless. They have a similarly well-built design, although the Elite 75t's earbuds are noticeably smaller, which makes them more comfortable. Their case is also smaller, easier to open, and provides three additional charges, giving them a total of 27 hours of battery life. They deliver boomier bass than previous models, but unfortunately, they don't isolate sound nearly as well. Overall, they're a well-rounded pair of truly wireless in-ears that should be good for most uses.
Our Verdict
The Jabra Elite 75t are decent for mixed usage. They're comfortable, and their 6.8-hour battery life can last through most of your 9-5 workday. While they struggle to cut down noise like bus or plane engines, they do a better job of reducing ambient office chatter. They also feel quite stable and can be a good choice to use while working out. Their sound profile, while versatile for most genres, should especially please fans of bass, but you can tweak it using its graphic EQ or presets.

Mediocre passive noise isolation is a downgrade from previous versions.

Unremarkable microphone performance.
The Jabra Eilte 75t are satisfactory for neutral listening. While they're decently well-balanced, most of their bass-range is overemphasized, and there's a small peak in the mid-treble. Since they have a closed-back, in-ear design, their soundstage isn't very open either. Luckily, if you prefer to tweak their sound, their companion app offers a 5-band graphic EQ plus presets.

The Jabra Elite 75t are good for commuting and travel. They're very comfortable and last just under seven hours on a single charge, which is well-suited for longer commutes or continental flights. They also fully charge up in just over an hour if you run out of battery life. However, they have mediocre noise isolation and really struggle to block out bus or plane engine noise.

The Jabra Elite 75t are great for sports. They're stable, comfortable, lightweight, and shouldn't cause you to sweat more than usual. They also have an easy-to-use control scheme that allows you to adjust your music and volume without needing to take out your phone.

The Jabra Elite 75t are decent for office use. They're comfortable enough for long work sessions, and you shouldn't feel too much fatigue or discomfort using them. While they require a battery top-up before the end of the workday, their case offers three additional charges.

Test Results
The Jabra Elite Elite 75t Earbuds look like a shrunken down version of the Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless, but without a small stem sticking down the ear. Their black finish looks quite nondescript, and they don't protrude too much out of the ear. They're also smaller than most truly wireless in-ears.
The Jabra Elite 75t are comfortable headphones. They're more comfortable than the Sennheiser CX 400BT True Wireless as don't put too much pressure on the ear. They also come with three differently-sized ear-tips so you can find a fit that's best for you. However, they fit deeply into the ear canal, and some users may find the fit produces a plunger-like feeling.
These headphones have decent physical controls that are a step up from previous models. They're easy-to-use and have clicky feedback. There's even a voice prompt for the HearThrough feature, which allows you to hear ambient sound around you. However, these buttons aren't the most intuitive. The left earbud controls everything related to music while the right earbud offers call controls. However, if you want to lower the volume, that control is on the left ear, while raising the volume is found on the right ear.
Like most other truly wireless in-ears, the Jabra Elite 75t are very breathable, making them suitable for more intense sports. They don't cover the outer ear, and you shouldn't sweat more than usual while wearing these earbuds.
The Jabra Elite 75t are very portable truly wireless in-ears that can easily slide into most pockets, and they're noticeably smaller than the Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless. These earbuds have magnets, allowing them to stick to each other, making it harder to lose one if you toss them both in a pocket quickly. Their case is also smaller than previous models and can easily fit in most pockets.
The Jabra Elite 75t come with a better case than the Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless. It's noticeably shorter and has a flat bottom, so it can now stand up on a desk without falling over. It's also much easier to open and can be opened with one hand, though it still stays shut very well when closed and shouldn't open accidentally in a bag. The case now charges via USB-C instead of micro-USB, which is nice.
The Jabra Elite 75t have a great build quality. The earbuds and carrying case are both made from dense plastic and feel like they should survive a few accidental bumps or drops. There are magnets to help keep the earbuds from spilling out of the case too. The earbuds also have an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, although we don't currently test for it. If you're looking for a pair of similar in-ears with a higher IP rating, consider the Jabra Elite Active 75t Truly Wireless, which are rated IP57.
These headphones have good stability. They come with three different kinds of tip sizes to help you find a suitable fit. Even though they don't have stability fins, they stay put in your ear and should be stable enough for moderate physical activity. However, if you're looking for even more stable truly wireless headphones, consider the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless, which use ear hooks, or the Jaybird Vista Truly Wireless, which use stability fins.

The Jabra Elite 75t have a fairly well-balanced sound profile that should be suitable for a wide variety of genres. These headphones have a very thumpy bass, which should please fans of EDM or hip-hop. That said, if you prefer a more neutral sound or if you like to customize its sound, there's a graphic EQ available via the Jabra Sound+ companion app.
The frequency response consistency of the Jabra Elite 75t is exceptional. Once you achieve a good, airtight seal with the supplied tips, you should be able to get good bass and treble response every time you use the headphones.
The Jabra Elite 75t have decent bass accuracy. Their overemphasized low-bass provides some extra thump to bass-heavy tracks like dubstep or EDM, while their dip into high-bass may nudge back the bass guitar and kick drum.
The Jabra Elite 75t have outstanding bass accuracy. They stay well-balanced throughout the range, so lead instruments and vocals should be fairly present in the mix.
The treble accuracy of the Jabra Elite 75t is good. While vocals are present, they slightly lack detail. There's also a spike in the mid-treble, making sibilants (like S and T sounds) sound a bit sharper, although it may not be noticeable to all users.
The Jabra Elite 75t have good peaks and dips performance. There's a peak in the low-bass that adds thump and rumble while the dip in the high-bass makes them sound thin and lacking warmth. The dip in the low-treble hurts the detail and presence of lead instruments and vocals. There's also a peak in the mid-treble, which makes your mix overly bright and piercing.
The imaging performance of the Jabra Elite 75t is excellent. Most of the group delay is below the audibility threshold, which should result in tight and accurate bass and treble. The L/R drivers of our unit are also well-matched, and you shouldn't notice any gaps in the stereo image. Note that these results are only valid for our unit, and yours may perform differently.
Like most in-ears, the soundstage of the Jabra Elite 75t is bad. One of the key factors in creating a speaker-like and out-of-head soundstage is activating the resonances of the pinna (outer-ear). However, their in-ear design bypasses the pinna completely. Also, because of their closed-back design, their soundstage is less open than that of open-back headphones.
These headphones don't have any virtual soundstage features.
The Jabra Elite 75t's weighted harmonic distortion performance is fair. While higher frequencies all fall within acceptable limits, the significant bump in mid-bass at higher volumes may cause those frequencies to sound harsh and impure if you blast your music.
These results are only valid for these test settings.
The Jabra Elite 75t have mediocre noise isolation. They barely block out bass-range noise like bus or plane engines. They do a better job of cutting down background speech and high-pitched humming from an A/C unit though.
The Jabra Elite 75t leak almost no audio, making them an excellent pick if you like to crank up your music and not disturb others around you. While there's a small amount of leakage in the treble range, it sounds very thin and consists of sibilants like S and T sounds. However, the overall volume of leakage is below the noise floor of most offices.
The Jabra Elite 75t have an integrated microphone.
The recording quality of the Jabra Elite 75t's microphone is mediocre. Your voice sounds clear and understandable but still thin and a bit unnatural. If you're looking for a Jabra headset with better recording quality, check out the Jabra Steel Bluetooth Headset, which uses a boom microphone.
These headphones have just passable noise handling. The integrated mic struggles to separate your voice from background noise, even in moderately loud environments. However, if you're talking in quieter places, you should be heard clearly.
These headphones have an alright battery performance. They last just under seven hours on a single charge, which is good for a long commute. That said, they have a longer total battery life than the Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless since they come with three additional charges in the case. If you're looking for truly wireless in-ears that last longer off of a single charge, see the Sony WF-XB700 Truly Wireless.
The Jabra Elite 75t are compatible with Jabra's Sound+, which is a well-made iOS and Android app that offers a good amount of customization options. You get a 5-band graphic equalizer, HearThrough mode options, as well as battery data and location-based triggers that change your settings if you're at work or home. It also allows you to set the headphones' auto-off timer to help you save battery. However, unlike the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2's companion app, you won't be able to button-map.
The Jabra Elite 75t have great Bluetooth connectivity. While they don't support NFC pairing, you can connect them with up to two devices at a time, making it easy to switch your audio source between your phone and computer. They have decently low audio latency when streaming video on Android, and it's even lower on iOS, but it still may not be ideal for watching a lot of videos. Latency is also higher on PC. That said, some apps and devices compensate for latency differently, so your mileage may vary.
These headphones are Bluetooth-only.
These are Bluetooth headphones and cannot be used wired. They come with a USB-C cable for charging their case.
These headphones aren't compatible with PS4. While they work with PCs that are Bluetooth-compatible, due to their high latency, they aren't recommended for gaming.
These headphones aren't compatible with Xbox One.
The Jabra Elite 75t have a charging case that delivers an additional 20 hours of battery life. It charges via USB-C but, like all truly wireless headphones, has no inputs.
