For exceptional sound quality with detailed audio reproduction, the 7hz Timeless would be the better choice, albeit at a higher price. However, if you're into an active lifestyle and require earbuds that are sweat-resistant and suited for physical activity or if you often take calls and need reliable microphone quality, the Jabra Elite Active 75t may serve you well, plus they come with the benefit of being more affordable. The Jabra earbuds also provide convenience with touch controls and a secure fit which may make them more practical for day-to-day use. Give Feedback

The Jabra Elite Active 75t has excellent build quality, while the 7hz Timeless has very good build quality.
"7Hz picked a bold name for the Timeless and frankly, got very close to justifying their word choice. Most importantly, the Timeless are good to go in stock form, so you don’t have to worry about source-matching and such. I can recommend the 7Hz Timeless to those who do not mind a dash of brightness up top, want a taste of planar in IEM form, and want one of the most resolving pair of earphones in the $150 - $300 price range."
"Audio is spacious and warm, delivering just the right amount of boom to kickstart your workouts without compromising the mids and highs. Battery life (both on a single charge and the charging case) is superior to all AirPods models. The extremely durable shell also reassures you that it’s going to take more than some severe environmental conditions to damage these buds."
