If you prioritize superior sound quality for music listening and don't mind spending more, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EX could be your choice; they excel in soundstage and are suited for TV and video as well. However, Jabra Elite Active 75t, being less expensive, are the go-to for exercise with their sportier design, sweatproof certification, and strong durability. The Jabra also has a slightly longer battery life, which is practical for extended use, and is optimized for both Android and Apple devices for seamless integration. Both have active noise cancelling, but the Bang and Olufsen have aptX Adaptive codec, potentially delivering better sound in compatible devices. If phone calls and meetings are a primary use, neither of these earbuds are ideal, as they both have only a 'poor' rating in that use case. Give Feedback

"If you’ve wanted truly wireless headphones, but couldn’t pick them up because they sound terrible, these will be the headphones that win you over. If you’re the kind of person who would consider spending $400 on headphones, these are the right truly wireless headphones for you."

Alex Bracetti | November 2022
"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."
