If you prioritize sound quality for music, the Beats Studiobuds may be a better choice as they offer higher overall sound quality. However, the Jabra Elite Active 75t excels in use during exercise, with higher sweat and dust resistance and a more secure fit, making it suitable for active users. Additionally, the Jabra has slightly better build quality and superior microphone quality, which is advantageous for calls and meetings. If battery life is critical, both offer similar usage times, but the Jabra has the benefit of wireless charging. Lastly, if you desire an app for customization, the Jabra provides this feature, while the Beats do not. Give Feedback

How the Beats Studiobuds and the Jabra Elite Active 75t compare to other earbuds and headphones
"For less than the price of the AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds delivers a good fit, great sound, and active noise cancellation. This is also the first set of Apple-owned Beats earbuds to feature quick pairing with Android devices, albeit at the expense of some key features for Apple users."
"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."
