Jabra Elite Active 65t vs 1MORE Quad Driver

Short answer: the 1MORE Quad Driver, if you are buying new, though neither ranks well in its class. The Jabra Elite Active 65t ranks higher than it (#60 vs #66 of 68 in-ear headphones, 2.7/5 vs 1.7/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the 1MORE Quad Driver is still sold new at $119.69. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 68 in-ear headphones, and the Truthear Nova, ranked #1 at $169.99, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.

The Jabra Elite Active 65t is the better-sounding option. A true wireless design with an IP56 rating gives dust and sweat resistance suited to workouts. The tradeoff: Only the SBC codec is supported, so there is no higher quality Bluetooth option.

The case for the 1MORE Quad Driver: The hybrid design combines one dynamic driver with three balanced armatures, and the 32 ohm impedance and 99 dB sensitivity let it run easily from a phone. Watch for: Treble from 6 to 10 kHz sits about 6 dB under target and a 10.5 dB dip near 8.8 kHz dulls cymbals and detail, while the air region is boosted by 4.2 dB, which makes the top end uneven.

Buy the 1MORE Quad Driver if you want one new; the Jabra Elite Active 65t is discontinued, so only look for it used.

The Two Headphones In Full

Jabra Elite Active 65t: $156.45 Discontinued Amazon eBay

Pros: A true wireless design with an IP56 rating gives dust and sweat resistance suited to workouts. Battery life is 5 hours per charge and 15 hours with the case, and the earbuds weigh only 6.5 g each. Bluetooth 5.0 and a built-in microphone cover calls and everyday listening.

Cons: Only the SBC codec is supported, so there is no higher quality Bluetooth option. There is no active noise cancelling, and Crinacle’s measurement gives a preference score of 58 with a 3.41 dB deviation from target, so the tuning is uneven. The Shure SE215 and FiiO FH3 are rated higher and cheaper, though both are wired. Discontinued.

1MORE Quad Driver: $119.69 Amazon eBay

Pros: The hybrid design combines one dynamic driver with three balanced armatures, and the 32 ohm impedance and 99 dB sensitivity let it run easily from a phone. It includes a built-in microphone for calls. The tuning leans warm, with bass about 4.3 dB above target, which suits listeners who like a thick low end.

Cons: Treble from 6 to 10 kHz sits about 6 dB under target and a 10.5 dB dip near 8.8 kHz dulls cymbals and detail, while the air region is boosted by 4.2 dB, which makes the top end uneven. Low mids run about 3.9 dB hot, adding bloat to male vocals and bass guitar, and sub-bass is down 4.5 dB so the deepest rumble is thin. The preference score of 45 and a rating below the BASN Bmaster show the tuning is a poor match for most tastes.
