r/Jabra on Reddit: Jabra to EXIT consumer space in 2024 (No more Elite wireless earbuds and headphones)

Ironically I just lost my Jabra Elite75t and went to use the location/tracking feature only for it to be 4 months old and said it was in a city 5 hours away... when I had it that morning and it was somewhere in the vehicle. Yikes
I vouched to never buy such dumb software implementation like this... and voila, they validated my thought process

NOOOO!!! Their earbuds are the best for Teams calls. They're the only set of earbuds that don't make me sound like I'm broadcasting from the moon to other people. This includes AirPods: if you use AirPods for Teams/Zoom calls, please stop. You sound horrible to everyone else on the call.

This really stinks. It's by far my favorite brand for earbuds. I used to be a Bose fanboi, but Jabra convinced me otherwise. I've had 65t, 75t, Elite 7 and Elite 10. Wife has Elite 4 and Elite 7. I was very tempted to get the Elite 8 active simply for durability purposes. The ruggedness is not worth much without the confidence that they stand behind their statements. They say gradual wind-down, but that is hard to interpret. As it stands now, gradual wind-down could be to ship the already produced Gen 2s, and then cover the warranty claims according to regulation. With the generic statement they've made, and factoring in EU warranty laws, this interpretation is consistent with "support for multiple years" If there was some sort of roadmap I might be more convinced to get the Elite 8 gen 2. E.g. we guarantee sales for another X years, and fw-upgrades, warranty, repairs and replacement for an additional Y years after end of sales in X years.

That's disappointing to hear. Been a Jabra user since the 65. Hopefully the evolve buds get the improvements that the elite series has gotten. I'd shell out a bit more for "enterprise" level buds. No one else has their battery life, fit and small form. The new elite 8 Gen 2 without ANC is rated for 14hrs! No one I know uses or has heard of Jabra. I try recommending them as much as I can but they still prefer Apple for high end or random Amazon brands for the cost savings. If anyone has any other recs please share. Running my elite 8 Gen 1 into the ground until a better option comes up and even then I hope some stockpiles gen 2s in a warehouse somewhere collecting dust😂

It's so strange to me that they announced this at pretty much the same time they announced the Gen 2 Elite 10 and Elite 8 Active. The Gen 2 thing on it's own was weird, then to top it off they say that's it folks, we are discontinuing this product line. All this happened the day after I ordered Elite 8 Active (gen 1). I wouldn't had made the purchase after these announcements. Probably would have chose Bose or some other brand. I just can't imagine that telling folks you are going to cancel a product right after releasing a new version is a good idea (on top of naming the new version Gen 2).

closing consumer business only, I expect to see excellent True-Wireless In-Ear Buds in their more vital Enterprise Business with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet certification soon. Jabra Evolve2 Buds need an update with technologies like Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2.
