When choosing between the Beats Powerbeats Pro and the Jabra Elite Active 75t, if you prioritize sound quality and built-in controls during your workouts or physical activities, the Powerbeats Pro may be your better choice as they provide a secure fit with ear hooks and are rated higher for use during exercise. However, they are somewhat bulkier and have a lower mic quality. The Jabra Elite Active 75t offers superior noise isolation and is dustproof, making them a good option for noisy environments and more rugged conditions. They also have a smaller form factor for portability, a longer battery life, as well as wireless charging capabilities, which Powerbeats Pro lack. If cost is also a consideration, the Jabra 75t is often less expensive. Give Feedback

"Sweat resistance, actual noise isolation, and a secure fit in your ears make these the true wireless earphones you want in Apple-land. Android users may find other options they like better, as these only support AAC."

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."
