Choose one of three "EarGels" to make the tip fit your ear best and they feel pretty secure with a nice sound-deadening seal. The two designs are very similar and the seal with the ear canal is almost exactly the same.

When it comes to Zwift performance, that's where the Elite 7 Active marks a change from the previous generation Elite 75t. If you get off the trainer, they should be usable outside on a bike if you decide to and they should work well for phone calls or listening to music. The mic should handle the fan pointed at my face in that same scenario. From my perspective that means they will feel secure when I'm absolutely dripping sweat while racing on Zwift. With the pricing at £169.99 / $179.99 it's likely that you are going to expect these to perform in a variety of situations. Nearly every aspect of the Jabra Elite 7 Active headphones is customizable (Image credit: Josh Ross) Performance Everything the buttons do is configurable through the app. At all times you can summon a voice assistant, change the volume, or switch between ANC, HearThrough, or off. If a call comes in, those same controls switch to call controls. If you are listening to music then you have options for music control. The area that this material covers is mostly the flat top section and it contains a hidden button. Holding the earbuds between your fingers and you'll notice the soft-touch plastic that Jabra uses. The drone of an aeroplane or the constant hum of motorway traffic drops to inaudible but constantly changing noise doesn't change much. As for the ANC mode keep in mind that ANC works best for continuous noises. It's worth noting that these are not hearing aids, so don't expect amplification with this feature. If you were to ride outside with these, HearThrough uses the microphones to pipe outside sounds through into the sealed environment behind the earbuds. The sound modes include both HearThrough and Active Noise Cancellation or Off. In the app you can see the battery status of the earbuds or case, access the extensive customization features, and select sound modes.
