How does the Jabra Elite Active 75t sound?
Compared to our ideal curve, this kind of bass sub-boost can make it hard to hear relatively quiet sounds like the male vocals. This frequency response makes sense for workout earbuds, because most of us prefer bass-heavy music for exercise. Suffice to say, the default sound of the Elite Active 75t isn’t great for analytical listening but served me well during cardio sessions at the gym.
Lows, mids, and highs
Fun’s song Take Your Time (Coming Home) clearly demonstrates the Elite Active 75t’s bass emphasis within the first few beats of the song. Nate Ruess’ vocals are hard to hear above the low impact sound of the kick drum at 0:06. This is especially noticeable at 1:14 when Reuss sings, “Take your time…” This moment lacks any instrumental underscoring, leaving the exposed vocal nuances easy to register. However, at 1:16, the band rejoins and renders the rest of the line, “…coming home,” much quieter.
Again, this sound is fine for exercising and something I prefer when running or using my stationary bike. When it comes to casual listening, I take the time to adjust the EQ in Jabra’s mobile app to mitigate the low-end response.
