These earbuds didn’t fit me well at all. The reviews saying the fit is very individual dependent were right! I was skeptical of the no wing design (advertised as and improvement to fit?) and had trouble getting them to stay in while doing exercises like mountain climbers or burpees with all 3 ear tip sizes. The shake grip coating didn’t do much good for me (must have odd ear shape?). Likely related to the poor fit; I couldn’t get past the bone conduction sound unbearable. My footsteps and breathing sounded so loud, on ANC, hear through and off modes. It was too distracting for me to even listen to these working at my desk.Too bad the fit wasn’t good, I was impressed by: qi wireless charging case, rock solid Bluetooth device detection, multipoint Bluetooth ... MoreThese earbuds didn’t fit me well at all.

I found it artificially bassy but probably could have eq-ed it out.

The Jabra Elite 7 Active in-ear headphones are a welcome addition to their lineup and feature a new ShakeGrip coating that helps the headphones stay in your ear without the need of some kind of wing or whatever protrusion to prevent them from falling out while you’re running around. This is the biggest issue I had with their older “active” models that sounded fantastic, but heavily relied on using a tight cushion fit to stay in place. The ShakeGrip coating solves that problem with a subtle coating that somehow comfortably grips your inner ears. I don’t know if it’s a change in the tip or body material, but it works great at keeping the ear bud in place without needing to change the low profile shape that Jabra’s traditionally come in.

This is the biggest issue I had with their older “active” models that sounded fantastic, but heavily relied on using a tight cushion fit to stay in place. The ShakeGrip coating solves that problem with a subtle coating that somehow comfortably grips your inner ears. I don’t know if it’s a change in the tip or body material, but it works great at keeping the ear bud in place without needing to change the low profile shape that Jabra’s traditionally come in. I can actually run and be aggressive in these, and it even passes my headbanging head shake test! Big ups to Jabra for recognizing and fixing an issue while keeping it low profile.Soundwise, you still get the great Jabra sound, but you’ll need to manipulate it with the EQ as it’s flat out of the box. I was actually a bit disappointed when I first put them on, but after adjusting the EQ and using the Jabra tuning program in their app, I got it to offer that excellent “Jabra sound” that I’ve become accustomed to. It doesn’t sound as “natural” as the 75t Active, but it’s not far off, providing clean vocals with good bass response. What sets the Jabra headphones apart though is their Sound+ app, which is the most useful app I’ve ever experienced from a headphone company.The Sound+ app lets you adjust and save EQ settings, adjust the “hear through” and “noise cancelling” mix, custom program device controls, and even includes sound frequency tests to tailor the sound specifically to your ears. This not only helps prevent hearing loss, but also provides a superior audio experience as well. Jabra’s “hear through” mode is notably the best I’ve heard of any other brand. It does a great job of passing through most sounds and actually lets you listen to things around you without being totally drowned out by the music mix. It’s how ANC “hear through” or “pass through” modes should work, but Jabra seems to do it better than most.Not everything is an improvement though, but at least one is fixable with a firmware update. I prefer the other case design where the door is higher up and easier to flip open than this one which is right down the middle. Sometimes I have trouble opening the door unless I really grip it, vs the other design where I can flip it open with one finger. It’s a small thing and not at all a deal breaker, just something I immediately noticed. The other thing, which a software update can fix, is that when playing media and switching between noise cancelling modes, the sound cuts out and offers some static for about 1 second before coming back on. This only happens while media is playing and isn’t a big problem, but it’s something that doesn’t happen with other Jabra ANC headphones I’ve used and I hope it gets fixed here.Overall, the Jabra Elite 7 Active are excellent in-ear headphones and a solid choice if you like Jabra ear buds that will actually stay in your ear. The ShakeGrip technology works and you get that outstanding Jabra sound quality and “hear through” mode. Much like the 75t Active model, these are the most practical headphones I’ve used and confidently staying in my ears makes the Elite 7 Active even better in that regard. With 8 hours of charge time, 30 hours of recharge in the case, IP57 water rating, a useful app, and a fantastic microphone for phone calls, I highly recommend these earbuds.
