The Creative Labs Outlier Pro would be a budget-friendly choice and offers longer battery life, active noise cancelling, and good call quality, which makes it suitable for work environments and travel. However, the Jabra Elite Active 75t, while more expensive, provides superior fit for exercising, better dust and sweat resistance, and optimization for both Android and Apple devices. The choice depends on your priorities: if you favor longer listening sessions with noise cancellation and saving money, go for the Outlier Pro; if you need earbuds for active use and device compatibility, consider the Elite Active 75t.

Tom's Guide

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."
