The Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 earbuds offer very good overall sound quality, excellent call quality, and have a low latency mode suitable for gaming and TV. They also support LDAC codec for higher quality audio and have active noise cancelling, but they aren't sweatproof certified, which may be a consideration if you plan to use them during heavy exercise. On the other hand, the Jabra Elite Active 75t are slightly less expensive, offer the best exercise score due to their sweat and dustproof certification, and have longer battery life with wireless charging, making them ideal for active users and travelers. However, the Jabra's sound quality scores lower compared to the Audio Technica's, and they do not support a high-quality codec like LDAC or feature active noise cancelling. Give Feedback

"There’s plenty to like about the ATH-TWX7. A robust set of features brings a lot of convenience to your day. But a few of those tools could still use some fine-tuning and the lack of automatic pausing in 2024 is a head scratcher. Still, the audio is mostly good, and transparency mode is better than most. Add in the solid call quality and the in-app voice test and the ATH-TWX7 are a worthy consideration, especially at this price. Too bad it falls short of being a more complete package some of the competition offers for a slightly larger investment."
"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."
