![]() What I do like about the case is that it provides five different charges. But you shouldn't have to fight for the right to rock out. On the one hand, that means you don't have to worry about the buds falling out when you put them in the case. I later discovered that you have to squeeze the sides while lifting the lid to access your precious buds. It took a Herculean effort to actually open the seamingly simple case. Made from matte-black plastic, the Jabra logo is the only flourish. Unlike the actual buds, the Elite Active's 2.4-ounce, 2.8 x 2 x 1-inch charging case is rather unassuming. But in case you need to top off the charge, there's a quick-charge feature that adds 1.7 hours of play time after 15 minutes of charging. Since the Buds have an estimated 6-hour battery life, that's only one additional charge with an hour left over. The plastic chassis looks nice enough and is easy to open, but it can only deliver 7 hours of additional charge. The Galaxy Buds come in a pill-shaped case that weighs 1.4 ounces and measures 2.8 x 1.5 x 1 inches. Winner: Jabra Elite Active 65t Charging Case You can make calls and hear well enough, but it's painfully obvious that you're using something other than the headset to talk through. My callers reported the same audio quality on their end. Although I could hear the people that I called and they could hear me, they all sounded like they were underwater. The Galaxy Buds didn't fare nearly as well. The ability to adjust the volume of my voice in the call meant that I could talk normally. When I called my mother and then my boyfriend, neither could tell that I was talking to them via a pair of earbuds, and they didn't sound muffled. The company outfitted the buds with four microphones, which work simultaneously to boost your voice while blocking out outside sound. Thanks to Jabra's experience creating award-winning mono Bluetooth headsets and conferencing speakers, the Elite Active buds offer unparalleled call audio quality. It was really close on Chris Stapleton's "Tennessee Whiskey," with both buds providing full, rich harmonies in concert with the gentle strums of the acoustic guitar and the robust bass guitar. Bose SoundSport Free: Wireless Earbuds Face-off I lost some of the percussion on the Galaxy Buds, due to the slightly bloated performance of the bass guitar. Plus, the soundscape was wide enough to let the vocalist's lovely soprano breathe. I heard the timbre of the piano strings and the clear twang of the guitar along with the distinct sound of a drumstick hitting a cymbal. The Jabras got the upper hand on Alicia Meyer's "I Want To Thank You," delivering crisp detail. However, the Galaxy Buds had a cleaner presentation that allowed me to appreciate more of the finer details in the track. The buds produced crisp percussion with a deep low end, with good separation that allowed the synthesized portions of the track to play nice with the keyboard. I felt like I was at an old-school red party listening to Cardi B and Bruno Mars' "Please Me" on the Elite Active. Surprisingly, these two sets of earbuds were pretty close in terms of sound quality, especially when I switched both to their most neutral equalizer setting. In short, the Elite Active buds are bursting with features. And, you have a Find My Buds feature to easily track down missing buds. There's also a feature to hear notifications and Caller ID announcements as well as enable/disable auto pause. The app also lets you adjust in-call volume, including how loud your voice will sound. It's a nice feature, but we were disappointed to learn we couldn't disable the feature when using the earbuds in Active mode. In case you'll be using the buds outdoors, there's the HearThrough feature for ambient noise. It's nice, but we wish Jabra had added more info, like heart rate and calories burned. The buds have an integrated accelerometer, which turns them into a reliable fitness tracker that monitors steps per minute and the time elapsed. Jabra didn't skimp on the features in the Elite Active. You can choose between volume, quick ambient sound or voice assistant. Lastly, the app gives you the ability to configure what launches during a long press. You can also toggle how much outside noise can get in via Ambient Sound. Offering five presets (Bass boost, Soft, Dynamic, Clear and Treble boost), the Galaxy Buds' equalizer can be tuned to your specific listening tastes. ![]() You access even more functions in the Galaxy Wearable app, including a Find My Earbuds feature and an equalizer.
