I would suggest reaching out to Jabra, as the symptoms suggest a faulty pair. Furthermore, these buds came with an extended 3-year warranty, albeit it was for failure as a direct result of perspiration.
I use mine the with an iPhone, and also tested them with an older Android phone with Bluetooth 4.0. The firmware is on release 5.6.0 (6th November 2019). Although, my pair doesn't suffer from the same issues as yours. However, I have had some issues with the battery life e.g. Jabra Sport app and real world usage does not tally and the battery life of the buds also deteriorates by 10% or more, by just sitting in the charging case, if not used daily.
