Jabra Sound+ 4+

Really good app but some improvements would make it great

Using the Jabra 8 Elite Active and find this app an important benefit to using them. The app is fairly intuitive and useful. I love the equalizer presets as a fast way to get close to the sound I want, with the graph allowing me to tweak it. There are a few things that would make this app even better. 1. Add a toggle that turns off “device connected” alerts. With 2 devices connected, moving in an out of range of one keeps triggering the audio alert, which is distracting. One ends up turning off the Bluetooth for the one that’s not moving with you (in my case, iPhone on me and iPad at desk), which is not always what you want to do. 2. Add the option to tongle between having different settings in different devices, or automatically have settings synch. There are times when both are desirable. 3. Probably MOST important, an iPad version is badly needed. When watching media on iPad, you use landscape orientation (and probably most other things you do in iPad), but this app only works in portrait orientation. That’s a pain in the neck because you have to keep turning things while you tweak the settings. Orientation agile apps are everywhere — why not here?

This App works extremely well!

This App works extremely well, and is much more feature heavy than you could imagine or possibly need.

With the Jabra Sound+ app not only can you optimize the headphones but you get pass through sound amplification that you can use while listening to music, on a call, or just with the headphones in your ears. This feature makes the 65ts and Active 75ts low grade hearing aids on top of being amazing headphones. With any variety of 75t or 85t earbuds you also get active noise cancellation as an added bonus if you’re one of those people that thinks you need it. Call quality on both ends is five stars all around, and the presets and equalizer controls allow you to customize your soundstage exactly how you've always wanted. The white noise feature along with its 12 different presets makes the any compatible pair of Jabras optimal for naps on a plane, or during your daily commute. I wouldn't use the feature over night only because I'm prone to ear infections. The ONLY downsides I could mention is the quick battery depletion when fiddling with the Jabra Sound+ app on the 65ts in particular. The 75ts did not have this battery drain issue when utilizing the Sound+ App.

Headset BOOM! - App limits capabilities but easy to use

I am an audio freak! In the last year I have grooves with Bose, Beats, Sony, AKG, Denon, multiple custom European sets, Apple and finally Jabra. The Jabra headset is quite impressive for its price and quite frankly not the best appealing look and sometimes feel. The seal between your ear and the outdoors is so good sometimes it takes adjusting back to the real world when you take them out. I mean this in a great way! Really allows you to get lost in the music. Sound quality is quite amazing and to the average consumer this will be a buy that could give you close to a higher quality headset.

The downfall of the headset unfortunately does come in the app. It is extremely limited for having similar features to say the Sony headsets. Sony has and epic app for their headset when it comes to true customization. The Jabra has so much potential!!!! Please pour development into the app!

Another issue I noticed is that when the headset is paired with multiple phones the volume is not the same between them. Very odd, tried all the basic reset and reconnect, redownloaded app still same prob.
