According to our earbuds expert
Thanks to the ShakeGrip technology, these earplugs stay in place better than the normal Elite 7.
Active noise canceling dampens disturbing ambient sounds and noise.
With the Jabra Sound+ app, you can personalize the sound reproduction via an equalizer.
The noise canceling on the earbuds mutes noise less well than the noise canceling on headphones.
The earbuds are less suitable to use for calls.
Note: Jabra does include a charging cable, but no charger. Use your current accessories, or purchase them separately.

In addition to the Jabra Elite 7 Pro, there is the Jabra Elite 7 Active. This Jabra model is mainly aimed at athletes. Thanks to the ShakeGrip technology, this model is slightly sturdier than the Elite 7 Pro. Only the controls on the earbuds take some getting used to at the beginning.
firm fit To fit the earbuds properly in my ears, I twist them in. This way they are securely fastened and I cycle to the gym without any problems. In the gym I do an intensive strength training, in which the earplugs remain in place continuously. This allows me to enjoy my favorite music while exercising without any problems.
Noise canceling dampens a lot In the Jabra Sound+ app I choose from 3 different modes. Noise canceling on, noise canceling off or HearThrough. With the latter option, ambient noise is amplified, instead of muffled. During exercise I alternate the 3 positions and I immediately notice how strong the noise canceling is. With HearThrough and noise canceling off I can still hear voices through the music. With the noise canceling on, I don't hear anything from my surroundings, so I focus on my workout.
Easy equalizer Not only do I adjust the noise cancelling, I also adjust the sound. I do this via the equalizer in the app. I myself like a powerful bass, so I opt for the preset Bass Boost equalizer. I immediately notice that the low tones are heavier, without sacrificing too much on the other tones.
Fully customizable settings When I listen to music on the bike, I am not allowed to have a phone in my hands. That's why I use the controls on the earbuds to skip to the next or previous track. At the beginning I found the controls a bit awkward, because it was not immediately clear how often I have to press to listen to the next song. Fortunately, the controls in the app are fully customizable. This way I can completely adjust the earplugs to my own hands, which is nice.

The sound is great and the app is nice.
I assumed that these earplugs would have the 'Spotify Tap' function, just like the Elite 3, 4 and 5. This allows you to skip forward to another playlist (shuffle) without having to grab your phone (so it's not the usual functionality of skipping within the same playlist). To my surprise, these Elite 7 caps DO NOT support this functionality. Contacted Jabra (via Twitter): They have decided not to add this functionality to the Elite 7 and do not plan to do so with a firmware update in the future. Personally I find this strange as this is the top model/flagship of the Elite earplugs. Maybe it's a 'unique selling point' for the cheaper models or the like.
About the ANC: This one is decent but not top notch. With some models such as this Elite 7 and with other brands it is better to speak of Noise Reduction than of Noise Cancellation.
Pressing the buttons is more difficult than with the Elite Active 75t, because of the rubber layer that is over it. With the Elite 4 Active, this is even worse. It just hurts my ears. With the Elite Active 75t I can just press the buttons without it hurting.
In short: I should have orientated myself better because for me personally they add nothing to the Elite Active 75t that I already had. For this reason I returned them.

The earplugs themselves are good. Due to the good fit, they well dampen the sound of the wind on the bike (even without music on). The earplugs stay in place during exercise. I like that you have to press the earphones to do something and that the dot is not a touch control, although you do have to press a little harder than, for example, with the 75t series. The case and earbuds themselves look nice due to the matte black finish, but there is a small recess missing in the case to make it easier to open. Battery life is also excellent!
