If the higher cost is a significant factor for you, the Jabra Elite Active 75t offers good quality and is durable, suitable for workouts with a secure fit and water resistance. On the other hand, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 provides active noise cancellation, a more seamless experience with Apple devices, and potentially better sound quality. If you're looking for earbuds for general use with an emphasis on noise cancellation and you have other Apple devices, the AirPods Pro 2 could be worth the extra investment. However, if you prioritize value for money, a good fit for physical activity, and a lower price, then the Jabra Elite Active 75t might be the better choice for you. Give Feedback

"Apple's upgraded H2 chip begets better active noise canceling (ANC) and battery life, while the case's U1 chip and integrated speaker lets you precisely locate it from the Find My app. If you own an iPhone, the new AirPods Pro is an obvious choice."
"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."
