If you prioritize noise isolation for a concentration boost and frequent calls, the Jabra Elite 4 earbuds excel with good isolation and very good mic quality; they're also sweat and dustproof, making them versatile for exercise and travel. However, for extended wear comfort and battery life, the JLab Go Work Wireless headphones have very good comfort scores, an exceptional 47-hour battery life, and an excellent build for a typically much less expensive price. The JLab's are suited for office use with their boom mic and removability, though they aren't the best for exercise or noise-heavy environments. 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"

Maike Paeßens | 2021
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
