The Antlion Kimura Duo, being wired with a boom mic and excellent build quality, is great for gaming with its very good sound quality and low latency but lacks in portability and isn't sweatproof, making them less suitable for exercise. On the other hand, Jabra Elite 4 is wireless, has active noise cancelling, and is sweatproof, making it versatile for exercise, travel, and casual use despite not being optimized for gaming due to potential latency and having a shorter battery life without a boom mic. If budget allows and gaming is a priority, Antlion Kimura Duo may suit you; for an all-rounder with the convenience of wireless, consider Jabra Elite 4. Give Feedback

Peter Susic | February 2023
"Antlion Kimura Duo aren’t packed with features, but the ones they offer, work incredibly well. Especially the boom mic delivers very clean call quality with no distortion. If you explicitly look for gaming in-ear monitors with a reliable microphone, Antlion Kimura Duo are your best option."

"The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap"
