Our Verdict

Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless

Jabra Evolve 65t Truly Wireless

The Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless and Jabra Evolve 65t Truly Wireless are very similar headphones. The biggest difference between these two is the fact that the Evolve come with a USB dongle for PC that offers a slightly better microphone performance. They also have slightly better battery life and noticeably better wireless range. However, if you aren’t looking for business-oriented truly wireless earbuds, then the Elite Active 65t and have a higher IP56 rating, though we don't currently test for that.
