stemless earbuds suitable for different needs. If you own an Apple device and appreciate higher quality adaptive sound and noise handling with some spatial audio capabilities for music, the Beats Fit Pro may be the better choice, especially since they offer virtual surround sound but only for Apple devices. On the other hand, if you prioritize longer battery life, reliable performance in exercise conditions, and wireless charging, the Jabra Elite Active 75t would suit you better, with its added dust and sweat resistance making them particularly well-suited for an active lifestyle or frequent use during workouts. Both have good noise isolation, but neither is ideal for gaming or watching TV due to poor soundstage. The Jabra has a slightly longer battery life, can be wirelessly charged, and has an app equalizer for sound customization which the Beats lack. The decision ultimately hinges on whether you value specific Apple device integration and audio features over battery life and fitness-oriented durability. Give Feedback

The Jabra Elite Active 75t has excellent build quality, while the Beats Fit Pro has very good build quality.
"The Beats Fit Pro is just as easy to use with an Android device as it is with an iPhone. It seems Apple-owned Beats is trying to appeal to a wider market, and it works. The Fit Pro fits like a pro with the ear tip fit test and multiple ear tips. Sound quality is sure to please most athletes, but the Fit Pro is just at home in the office as it is in the gym. The main factor holding the Beats Fit Pro back from gold is the price."
"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."
