The HifiMan Arya Stealth headphones are high-end, offering superb overall sound quality and a wide soundstage, ideal for an immersive music listening experience. They are over-ear, open-back headphones that need a wired connection, putting them on the less portable side, not suitable for exercise, and have no built-in microphone for calls. On the other hand, the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds are mid-range priced, provide good sound quality, and are wireless with a charging case, making them highly portable and excellent for exercise or travel. They have a built-in mic, active noise cancelling and are sweatproof, which Arya lacks. So, if you prioritize high-fidelity audio and don't mind the price or lack of mobility, Arya may be your choice. However, if you need versatility, portability, and features like a microphone and active noise cancellation at a lower price, the Jabra earbuds are more suitable. Give Feedback

"The Arya can easily be end-game headphones for 99% of consumers, satisfying most audio desires. Priced well above USD$1000, the Arya are obviously and gloriously not for the mass market consumer; they are designed and built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts – especially those who view their expenses on this level of gear as investments."
"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."
