Right now, on Amazon US, they’re sitting pretty at $163. It looks like this is a new retail price rather than a discount – so it’s not a great deal, but a decrease from the previous RRP of $199. But over on Amazon UK, you can grab the Jabra Elite 8 Active wireless buds for £100 – a 50% discount from the normal price of £200.

That’s a really rather tasty discount in the UK. It bags you £100 of savings from the full retail price that you can put towards some other top running gear, and is basically as cheap as these buds have ever been on the site.

These true wireless in-ears from Jabra redefine the concept of tough tech. And they aren’t just aimed at fitness fanatics who spend every waking hour at the gym. With IP68 water, sweat and dust resistance, plus a MIL-STD-810H rating for extreme thermals, shocks and drops, they’ll do a lot more than survive a sweaty workout. They’ve since been replaced by a second-gen version, but this OG pair remains an excellent choice for exercise nuts.

Jabra’s gone all out for what it’s calling “the world’s toughest earbuds.” They come with adaptive noise-cancelling, multiple microphones for crystal clear calls, and spatial sound powered by Dolby. They should have enough juice for up to eight hours of listening, with the charging case supplying an extra 24 hours. 

We score them a perfect five stars in our review. Our reviewer said they are “a fantastic choice for rain-or-shine runners that deliver punchy sound and decent noise-cancelling.”
