If price is a major factor and you want a pair that's often somewhat less expensive, the Jabra Elite 4 could be appealing, offering very good overall sound quality and microphone quality for calls, as well as good comfort and stability for use during exercise. They have active noise cancellation, which the Elite Active 75t lacks, and offer good noise isolation for air travel. However, the Elite 4 does not support a lossless or AAC codec and is rated to have poor gaming and TV performance, so it is not the best for those activities. The Elite Active 75t, while generally a bit more expensive, has a longer battery life, a shorter charging time, and supports wireless charging, features that the Elite 4 lacks. If you need the best performance during vigorous workouts with a dustproof and sweatproof certification and a secure fit, the Elite Active 75t excels in this area. Consider your primary activities and decide which features are most important to your lifestyle. Give Feedback

"The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap"

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."
