Hi guys, I'm kinda on a lookout for a pair of TWS to replace my Jabra Elite 75T, any good alternatives besides the XM4? I tweaked the EQ on the jabra app for personal preference, so the default sound out of the box is good for me. Just that the battery's getting weaker, hence the lookout for replacement
Best Buy has great sales on Jabra often.
I picked up the 85t's for under $100..
I probable have 2 dozen good TWS now, and can't think of one similar to my Jabra's. Maybe soundsore liberty pro 3.
I'm looking at the Elite 7's now.. I'll wait for a good sale..no hurry..

Alright, here's my opinion: there's nothing like the Elite 75t. There, I said it.

I think they're some of the best truly wireless headphones ever made. There's something about the size of that case, about their shape, about the haptic feedback when pressing the buttons (no touch surface, no - it's buttons!), about the way you can customize them up via the app... I haven't found a real replacement.

I went for the obvious successor, the Elite 7 Pro, but ended up selling them after a couple of weeks. The case is not as good and feels flimsy, their shape is somewhat weird, the buttons aren't as enjoyable to press. They do appear to be the logical next design step after the 75ts, but I didn't enjoy them.

For a year or so I've been rather happy with my Technics EAH-AZ60 as a replacement, but I keep going back to refurbished stores to look at the Elite 75t. Don't know why.

Nice find. The Beats Studio are decent enough. These look fine-ish, sorta ok, decent, not bad. Kinda like every apple product lately. “Fine”.
Nothing seems to thrill me lately either. Been mostly using my PI7 S2, AirPods Pro and Oppo Enco X2. Everything else is in a drawer, waiting... Sad but true. Could be because I'm slowly segueing out of WFH.

Hey guys,

Do you know of any waterproof TWS that can be used for swimming laps?

JBL has Reflect Aero with IP68 waterproof standard, but I have no idea how these work in practice, thanks!
