The HifiMan Sundara headphones offer high sound quality with an open design for an expansive soundstage, making them excellent for music in quiet environments. They’re wired with a premium price tag and are not intended for use during exercise or situations requiring portability. In contrast, the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds are more affordable, wireless, and boast features such as sweat and dust resistance, active noise cancelling, and a secure fit for exercise. They provide good sound quality and are versatile for calls, travel, and general use. Choose the Sundara for high-fidelity listening at home or the Elite Active 75t for a durable, on-the-go audio solution. Give Feedback

"The HiFiMan Sundara is the set of headphones to get if you want high-end audio, but don't want to shell out a king's ransom for it. These planar magnetic headphones are comfortable, straightforward, and excellent performers."

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."
