Oh man, I loved the 65t! I remember Jabra making great true wireless headphones. They were small, sounded ok, had actual buttons but operating them didn't push the earbud against the brain. Miss that a lot. Nowadays it's all touch and I hate it so much because for some reason I have a problem spatially locating them and always end up touching it the wrong way (and yes, I know... ;)

Honestly, I don't care about the problem itself that much. I mean, I'm used to constant problems with pretty much all audio-devices on my linux laptop (even when they work fine on Windows, which seriously makes me angry — when it was supposed to be the fucking year of linux on desktop?), my Elite 65t's are no better nor worse, I did use them on the laptop a couple of times and they worked somehow . But the response is infuriating. I wouldn't really expect anything else from something like Xiaomi, but Jabra? Don't they care about their reputation at all? I mean, they could at least pretend they care. Refunding a single customer is cheap as fuck, even if he is not really in the right. Well, I don't know, but I suspect this thread may already cost them more than fucking $150 or whatever it is Jabra Elite 85t costs now. However, to be completely honest, I'm not sure what my next wireless earbuds manufacturer should be. I bought 65t's a long time ago (obviously), and I'm pretty sure nothing could really compete back then, all things considered. I don't know about now.

I highly recommend Jabra bluetooth earbuds as a replacement for AirPods. They stay in your ears well, they're comfy, have pretty decent audio quality, good connectivity, good battery life, ANC, wireless charging. If you watch their website, they sell refurbished units for pretty huge discounts. The Elite 65t's may be old but they're still really good and super cheap now: https://www.jabra.com/deals#?pfs=discountedprice-desc&pff=2f...

Use cases, 200k miles of international flights/year, light gaming, listening to music/podcasts around the house. For long haul air travel; Bose qc, no contest. You get on a plane, and all the serious business travelers are using the same headphones for a reason. They aren't the best (but are good enough) at weight, sound quality, comfort, but they are the best at drowning out engine noise. On a 7-12 hour flight that's pretty much the only thing that matters. I prefer the version with a AAA battery and a cord for the instant battery swap recharge vs the version that's wireless Bluetooth but has an internal rechargable battery. Edit Important note about the QC and other noise canceling headphones -some people feel a weird "pressure" or stuffy feeling from what I assume is all the work the active noise canceling mics/speakers are doing. It can be uncomfortable. I feel it a little when im using them, but for me it's a non issue if im playing music or sound through them. I do avoid using them without an audio input. Even when I sleep on the plane with them I play soft music. If you read the comments below, it sounds like some people experience it worse than others. I strongly suggest trying before you buy at a local Bose store. End Edit For everything else, jawbra elite 65t. Decent sound quality, I can choose to only wear the right ear if I want better awareness of my surroundings(say walking the dog), good noise reduction b/c of the in ear seal and noise canceling (keeps the m

That's too bad, because they got very good products. I love my jabra elite 65 t, they are the first ones that allowed me to make peace with the dreaded wireless ear plugs. I basically live with them, I can't recall the last time I put my phone on my ear or put the music on speakers. But yes, I can't make them work with my Ubuntu laptop. This sucks, especially for a 180 euros product.
