You could eliminate the HISS sound by turning off the "HearThrough" feature, it's dead quite, the hiss only exists when the the "HearThrough" is on and it's gone when the music is on. Not a big deal for me as a music lover, other features on Jabra 3 is killer like the 4 mic for online meeting is sufficient! I'm a bass player and a recording artist, I love the music sound on Jabra 3 well balanced! I'm happy with my purchase for daily use.

@TheBebogarza Год назад

This video influenced me to buy the jabra 3s . From my experience with them there is two major take away. One is , they sound amazing, I was truly impressed with the audio quality. The white noise is there but you do get used to it after a while. The biggest drawback and the main reason why I returned them was due to the Bluetooth connectivity. When alone or in light traffic they connect and work properly but when in a crowded room with multiple BT devices turned on (ie a gym) they start to cut off and on. The only solution was holding my phone close to my chest to maintain a good connection. Other than that, these are a really good earbud but it does have some drawbacks.

The Jabra is just the everyday get it done earbud. No thrills. No extra unnecessary features just basic get the job done.

The bar has definitely been raised on the TWS market. From "budget" to mid-tier offerings from Soundpeats, 1More, Altec, Jlab, etc. I have tested most and I've got to tell you that it's getting harder to tell which one is best in class. I do wonder what's the next step for the big names like Sony, Bose, Yamaha, B&O, etc. in order to justify buds at premium prices.

I have a headset with APTX, and I will move on to one that only has SBC and AAC. With my current headphones (APTX) I do not feel any latency on RU-vid and Netflix, because at the beginning, you can see that the delay is fixed and the audio and video are perfectly synchronized, now my concern is that I do not know if the new ones with (SBC and AAC) have this quality. Does anyone know if the ones with SBC and AAC also fix their audio and video synchronization? Or is this feature clearly one of those that have APTX?

Hello, Mike: I'm looking at reviews on Amazon and I'm reading one that leaves me concerned. It mentions a constant hissing sound - a huge amount of white noise - even when the earphones are not connected to any device, which, they say, renders the product practically unusable. They returned it and asked for a replacement, and the replacement has the exact same problem. You didn't notice issue whatsoever? Thanks! (EDIT: Nevermind, i just got to the part where you mention it! ^^')

Ive bought those as they have great ratings on most trusted review sites. Still had to send them back as they were hissing A LOT.

@yurytarasinsky627 2 года назад

Well, I've bought them to use with my Ipad Mini 6 mainly (youtube, youtube music, netflix), but tried them with Google Pixel 4 out of curiosity as well (to evaluate the difference about aptx here) What can I say - rather disappointed due to some reasons: 1. Sound is just decent, not gorgeous by any means, but for this price range it's perfectly fine except for the one crucial thing = maximum volume achievable! It's just not enough at all, especially when you are in the public transport or on the noisy street.... Therefore, I tend to use this Jabra Elite 3 for music listening or even movie watching 90% of the time indoors in the relatively quiet surrounding, and only 10% of the time outdoors somewhere in the city park, but definitely not on the crowdy street with traffic! (for calls it's ok even on the street, but not for music listening...) And they do provide good noise isolation, but just maximum volume is still too low for serious street usage as headset for the music listening for your understanding! 2. Noticeable lags, so when you are watching netflix or youtube, there are some annoying non-synchronous latency between the video and the sound occurs, alas, it's my main complaint actually! Yeah, and by the way, the sound quality with aptx on Android here only a little bit better by the hair than without aptx on IOS, obviously 6mm drivers just cannot provide enough benefits from aptx present I would say... The overall conclusion - if You're really about the quality sound for music lovers, then Jabra Pro 7 or older model aka Jabra 85t would be the much much better and preferable choice for sure if You're ok with the much higher cost of course! Otherwise, If You need these Elite 3 for phone calls mainly and music or videos just occasionally - it's ok, and even could be claimed as the best option available on the market for the money they cost and considering perfect in-ear ergonomics, good mics, battery life and decent sound quality

But my question is sound quality or we can say Codec support. Elite 3 is getting Aptx support and as for as i know 75t doesn't support that. So, how much it will make difference based on codec support I am using Android mobile. (in simple words, which sounds better?) Thanks!!! P.S.: You are great in reviewing by using simple words and to the point.
