If you prioritize call quality and regular music listening in quieter environments, the Google Pixel Buds A Series offers excellent mic and overall sound quality, is optimized for Android devices, and has a useful low latency mode for video content. However, they provide less noise isolation which might not be ideal in noisy settings. The Jabra Elite Active 75t, on the other hand, are better suited for active lifestyles due to their higher score in use during exercise, dust, and sweat resistance, and active noise cancelling, making them a great choice for noisy environments and workouts, albeit at a higher price point.

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."
