Jabra Elite Active 45e review

These won’t win any awards for sound quality, but they’re great for athletes who need to remain aware of their surroundings. The IP67 rating means you can exercise worry-free and spend more time focusing on your workout.

I don’t recommend these based on the fit, but if you like ear hooks on your in-ear headphones and like the open design, you may enjoy them.

While the Jabra Elite Active 45e won’t be winning any awards for sound quality, they keep athletes aware of their surroundings. The ear hook design is stable while the proprietary ear tips keep listeners vigilant. The IP67 rating means you can exercise worry-free and spend more time focusing on your workout.

Simple to use, these are a comfortable and secure pair of in-ear headphones that are good for exercise. Sweat and water resistant, the sound won't blow you away but they get the job done.

The Jabra Elite 45e are decently mixed usage earbuds, good for most activities with a flexible neckband design that some will prefer over traditional around-the-neck headphones.

They are comfortable headphones and have a good build quality. Unfortunately, they isolate less noise than the other headphones in the Elite series. The sound quality is also average-at-best. On the upside, they are compatible with the Jabra Sound+ app for customization options.
