Jabra Sound‪+‬ 4+

シンプルで使い勝手がいい

操作がわかりやすく使い勝手は非常に良いと思う。ただ少し残念な部分もある。

elite 7 activeからelite 8 activeに買い換えて、ちょっと気になる点が

1.聴力を測定して自分の耳に合ったバランスにする機能がない。
2.耳にきちんとフィットしているか確認出来る項目がない。

購入して1回、2回しか使わない機能だけど、以前は出来ていた事が出来ないと物足りなく感じる。

あと、地味に気になるのが音楽を聴きながらヒヤスルーor ANCにイヤホンの物理ボタンで変更した際の音声音量がelite 8 activeは小さすぎ、音楽を聴いていてもelite 7 activeはきちんと「ヒヤスルー」とか「ANC」って聞き取れたのにelite 8 activeは、あれ？鳴ったってくらい聞き取れない。アップデートで対応出来るのなら対応して欲しい。

Hello shunichi_hira- Thank you for your feedback about the Jabra Sound+ app and your experience with the Jabra Elite 7 Active and Elite 8 Active. We are delighted that you find Jabra Sound+ easy to use and understand. We will certainly pass on your feedback about the Jabra Elite 8 Active not supporting MyFit or MySound like the Jabra Elite 7 Active to our App team so they can consider adding those functionalities to the Elite 8 Active. 

About your concern about the Jabra Elite 8 Active's ANC functionality, we encourage you to see if Wind Noise Reduction is active on your device. When Wind Noise Reduction is on, your Jabra Elite 8 Active will detect and reduce wind noise to improve your call and audio experience. However, users may notice lower levels of ANC or HearThrough when wind noise is reduced. To turn off Wind Noise Reduction, connect your Jabra Elite 8 Active to the Sound+ app and navigate to the app's settings menu. Then, select Personalize your headset>  Wind Noise Reduction. 

For your comment about the Jabra Elite 8 Active audio volume being low, we suggest first trying the earbuds with another size eargel or even mixing and matching eargel sizes on your earbuds. You will want to find a fit that feels snug and secure. Having the right fit with your earbuds can make all the difference in the volume perception.

If trying other accessories does not help, there is an iPhone setting that can limit the maximum volume output to protect your hearing. Follow these steps to adjust this setting to increase loudness:
- Go to "Settings" on your iPhone.
- Select "Sounds & Haptics."
- Tap on "Headphone Safety."
- Disable the "Reduce loud sounds" option.

Please contact us if we can do anything else to help you make the most of your Jabra Elite 8 Active: https://bit.ly/46mqP7m. Our Suppor team is always happy to help.

Always "configuring" for the first few minutes upon opening

Headset is connected already... Already listening to music. Open the app > "Configuring headset". Eventually this will stop and I get the settings and options I expect. Also can't control the multipoint connection from the app. It would be nice to be able to tell the headset to disconnect from other devices.

Update as response to the developer:
Issues with "Configuring headset" should have nothing to do with Wi-fi or Cellular. This is a Bluetooth headset, the phone is in my hand and the 85t pods are less than 1m away in my ears. I have a strong LTE connection and WiFi 6 with a 1Gbps fibre internet connection anyway.

Also, I'm only connecting to one Jabra device (Elite 85t). But the 85t has multi-point. It can connect to two devices simultaneously. If the 85t is already connected to two other devices, the app is not able to get it to disconnect and reconnect to the device in my hand. Please look at how the "Bose Connect" app works as an example. That app can control a Bose headset's connections with other devices and allow a user to disconnect and connect at will. That way you don't need to hunt for the other device that your headset is connected to and turn off Bluetooth.

Hello Shimojimatto- Thanks for your feedback about the Jabra Sound+ app; we appreciate it. We expect the Sound+ app to recognize and connect to your Jabra device within a few seconds of being open. The strength of your connection to WiFi or cellular data is relevant to the speed of the app connecting to your product. A stronger connection to WiFi or data will result in a faster connection time between Sound+ and your device. Furthermore, the Jabra Sound+ app is only able to connect to one Jabra device at a time. For this reason, you cannot switch the app from one connected Jabra device to another from inside the app. To switch Jabra devices, you will need to force-quit the Sound+ app and start using the other Jabra device. Then, open the Sound+ app again. Jabra Sound+ should now recognize the secondary Jabra device.

素晴らしいの一言に尽きる。

Elite75tを使用していますが、音も素晴らしい防音性にも優れていて快適に使ってます。

イヤホンのホールド性が良いので、日常でアクティブに自転車を乗ったりランニングをする時にも外れて落ちるという不安は全くありません。

さすが、元々補聴器などを製造していた老舗だけあって凄い技術力です。

音はアプリを使いイコライザーで好みに変えれるので色んな方々の好みにマッチ出来ると思います。
自分は重低音の効くR&BやHip-hopを聴きますが、とても満足しています。
高音のクリアさも綺麗に出ていますしね。

何より、今回のANC機能の追加です。
買い換える事無く無償のアップデートするだけで追加されました。
それはもうアフターフォローの域を超えたサービスだと思います。
案内に書かれている様に、
「ラボで膨大な時間を費やし開発した」
と書かれていますが…確かに、この小さなイヤホンの中で部品を追加する事なく素晴らしい機能の追加をするのは大変な作業だと思います。
それを無償でって凄いですよね。

これからも大切に使いたいと思いますし、次も御社の製品を使いたいと思います。

このレビューが開発者の方々に届く事を祈りながら投稿させていただきます。
