If you prioritize call quality and active noise cancelling for a quieter listening experience, especially during air travel, the Jabra Elite 4 may be worth the extra cost. They also offer more premium build quality and are dust and sweatproof certified, making them suitable for exercise. However, if battery life is crucial and you're on a budget, the Jlab Go Air Sport offers longer usage time and ear hooks for secure fit during intense workouts. Keep in mind the Jlab has relatively poor sound quality, so if you value listening to music or need better sound for TV and video, Jabra Elite 4 is the better option. Give Feedback

Jasper Lastoria | September 2023
"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"

PC Mag

Tim Gideon | April 2022
"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
