I've been strongly contemplating to get a pair of Jabra Elite 75t but they didn't launch an 'Active' version that's meant for exercises and workouts. The 75t had almost all features I needed (USB-C fast charging, voice assistant capability, compact form factor) other than at par audio/calling capability of course. But it lacked sweat resistance. I now see that there is an active version out there! It was launched in March this year and goes for 17k on Amazon. Product page here: https://www.jabra.in/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-elite-active-75t##100-99091000-40
Any Jabra Elite users on this channel? Would love to know first hand experiences.
P.S.: I'm a non-competing triathlete. I cycle 30k, swim 2.5k in open waters, and run 4k when I'm feeling the happiest. ;)

05/24/2020, 1:03 PMThese look good! I see theek on Amazon for 16k. I've been contemplating Klipsch T5 but heard there are some connection issues with it.
Bose TW are also an option, not sure how they compare with Jabra Active 75T in terms of noise cancellation.
Samsung Buds Plus is a decent option at 11k but then again, no noise cancellation.
Buying truly wireless earbuds has been the most difficult purchase decision ever!

05/25/2020, 4:28 AM@gorgeous-lunch-25580 be wary of the 75T Active, here's a review-
"FYI UPDATE: I did end up returning these due to hissing in the left earbuds, less than advertised battery (only 3 hours on a single charge for the buds, around 10 total including case), and poor connection."

05/27/2020, 10:00 AMHave tested over 5 cheap airpods (<5k inr) and decided to bite the bullet and buy a premium one.
Don't waste time in small ones, if you have budget, just buy a solid one.
My friend is using jabra sport for last 2 years, no issuies

05/28/2020, 3:45 PM@thankful-tailor-43626 But I see that Buds+ aren't waterproof or sweatproof. Are you sure you'd be able to use them during your running sessions?

06/03/2020, 2:53 AM@gorgeous-lunch-25580 they are okay with normal sweating. People have done a 10k with it without a problem, they won't stand in rain though.
Been using it for 3 days now, battery life is good, have never felt like they'll fall off taking away the worry of them falling off. Noise cancellation is surprisingly better than I expected. Don't have any regrets until now.
