The Jabra Elite 4 earbuds are wireless with active noise cancelling, providing better calls and meetings performance and are suited for exercise with sweat and dustproof certification. They are geared towards modern conveniences with an app equalizer and serve well for air travel due to their good noise isolation. On the other hand, the KZ ZSN Pro, while being wired and without noise cancellation, are budget-friendly and have a detachable cable, which can be beneficial for durability. Their sound quality is considered good for their price, but they may not be as suitable for calls, meetings, or exercise. 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"

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
