If you frequently make calls and need a portable option that handles exercise well, the Jabra Elite 4 would be the better choice due to its excellent mic quality and good performance during exercise, along with being sweat and dustproof. However, if budget is a concern and you prefer an immersive listening experience with longer battery life for extended periods without charging, the JBL Tune 710BT's 50-hour battery life and over-ear design may suit you better, although they are less convenient to carry around due to their size. Neither is ideal for gaming or TV due to poor scores in those areas. If active noise canceling is a priority for you, the Jabra Elite 4 has that feature, whereas the JBL Tune 710BT does not.
