Jabra Elite 75t Truly Wireless  Headphones Review

The Jabra Elite Elite 75t Earbuds look like a smaller version of the Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless, without the small stem that points down from your ear. Each bud has a round, flat outside surface, and they don't stick too far out of your ears. Ηowever, they have an all-black color scheme and don't come in any other colors.

The Jabra Elite 75t are comfortable headphones. They're more comfortable than the Sennheiser CX 400BT True Wireless as they 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.

Update 06/09/2021: Jabra has made button mapping available in firmware update 1.31.0 via their companion app. You can now also map microphone mute/unmute onto the controls without losing other functions. However, this feature is only available during a call. We've updated our results to better reflect this change, and the scoring of this box has changed from 7.6 to 8.0.

The Jabra Elite 75t Truly Wireless have great controls. The buttons are clicky and easy to use, although it may take some time to get used to the different commands. Fortunately, there's a voice prompt for the HearThrough feature, which allows you to hear ambient sound around you without turning off your audio. You can also use the headphones' companion app to remap the controls to suit your needs.

On the left earbud:

• One press: Cycles between HearThrough mode, ANC on, and both modes off. When you're on a call, mutes or unmutes the mic.
• Double press: Skips to the next track. When you're on a call, toggles sidetone on or off.
• Triple press: Restarts the track (repeat this command to skip to the previous track).
• Press and hold: Turns the volume down.

On the right earbud:

• One press: Plays/pauses audio or answers/ends a call.
• Double press: Rejects a call. When you're already on a call, holds/resumes a call.
• Press and hold: Turns the volume up.

Like most other truly wireless in-ears like the Jabra Elite 3 True Wireless, 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 good case. It's smaller than the one that comes with the Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless and has a flat bottom, meaning you can set it upright on a desk. You can open it with one hand, and it closes securely, so it shouldn't pop open accidentally in your bag. It also charges with USΒ-C instead of micro-USΒ, which is nice.

The Jabra Elite 75t have great build quality. The earbuds and carrying case are 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 have an IP55 rating, so they can withstand contact with dust and being sprayed with water. 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 differently-sized pairs of ear tips to help you find the best fit and shouldn't fall out of your ears if you use them for workouts. However, they aren't as stable as some sports-oriented headphones, like the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless, which have ear hooks, or the Jaybird Vista Truly Wireless, which use stability fins.

The Jabra Elite 75t have an excited, v-shaped sound profile that delivers intense thump and rumble. While this sound is well-suited for genres like EDM and hip-hop, some users may find it overwhelming. If you prefer a more neutral sound or if you like to customize their sound, there's a graphic EQ available via the Jabra Sound+ companion app.

The Jabra Elite 75t's frequency response consistency is excellent. Their treble delivery can slightly vary across users and is sensitive to fit and positioning. However, 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 alright bass accuracy. The low-bass and mid-bass are overemphasized, so your mixes have extra thump, rumble, and punch. The high-bass is underemphasized, so they shouldn't sound muddy, but instruments may lack warmth and fullness.

The Jabra Elite 75t have excellent mid accuracy. They're well-balanced throughout the low to mid-mid, so vocals and lead instruments are present in your mix. However, overemphasis in the high-mid makes vocals and lead instruments sound somewhat honky and harsh.

The Jabra Elite 75t's treble accuracy is impressive. Vocals and lead instruments are present and accurate. There's some overemphasis in the mid-treble range, which makes sibilants like cymbals sound a bit sharp, although it may not be noticeable to all listeners.

The Jabra Elite 75t have satisfactory peaks and dips performance. The peak in the low-bass adds thump and rumble, while the dip in the high-bass makes mixes sound thin and lacking in warmth. The peak in the high-mid range makes vocals and lead instruments sound a bit harsh, while the dip in the low-treble weakens their detail and presence. There's also a peak in the mid-treble, which makes sibilants like cymbals overly piercing.

The Jabra Elite 75t's imaging performance is great. The group delay falls below the audibility threshold for most of the range. There's a peak at the end of the high-treble, but it shouldn't be too noticeable, resulting in tight bass and transparent treble reproduction. The L/R drivers of our unit are also well-matched in amplitude, frequency, and phase response, so objects like instruments and voices should be accurately placed 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 most open-back headphones.

The Jabra Elite 75t's weighted harmonic distortion performance is very good. While there's a small peak in the mid-treble range at normal volumes, all frequencies otherwise fall within acceptable limits, which should result in clean and pure audio reproduction.

These are the settings used to test the Jabra Elite 75t Truly Wireless. Our results are only valid when used in this configuration.

The Jabra Elite 75t have a decent noise isolation performance. An active noise cancelling (ANC) feature was added with firmware update 2.00, but it only performs a bit better than their passive noise isolation capabilities. With the ANC on, they still struggle to block out bass-range noise like bus or plane engines. They do a much better job of cutting down background speech and high-pitched humming from an A/C unit, though. For in-ears with better noise isolation, check out the Anker SoundCore Life P3 Truly Wireless.

The Jabra Elite 75t leak almost no audio, making them an excellent pick if you like to crank up your music and don't want to disturb others. 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 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.

The mic has a passable noise handling performance. 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 for about seven hours of continuous use off a single charge, longer than the Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless. They also store about three additional charges in their case instead of two. They have an auto-off timer that you can set in the companion app too. If you're looking for truly wireless in-ears that last longer off of a single charge, see the Sony WF-XB700 Truly Wireless. Battery performance can vary with real-life usage, so your experience may vary.

The Jabra Elite 75t are compatible with Jabra's Sound+, a well-made iOS and Android app that offers a good amount of customization options. You get a 5-band graphic EQ, can switch between ANC, TalkThrough, and both modes off, see the battery data, and set location-based triggers that change your settings if you're at work or home. It also allows you to personalize the ANC feature as well as set up the headphones' auto-off timer to help save battery. Like the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2's companion app, you can also remap the controls to your liking.

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 low latency with iOS and Android devices, so you shouldn't notice any delay if you use them to watch videos on your phone. Unfortunately, they have high latency with PCs. That said, some apps and devices compensate for latency differently, so your mileage may vary.

These are Bluetooth headphones, and you can't use them wired. They come with a USB-C cable for charging their case.

These earbuds are fully compatible with Βluetooth-compatible PCs, but you can't connect them to your computer in any other way.

The Jabra Elite 75t have a case that stores about three extra charges. It charges via USΒ-C but doesn't have any other inputs.
