If wireless earbuds with active noise cancelling and a sweatproof design are important for your exercise routines or commuting, the Jabra Elite 4 is the better choice. However, if budget is a concern and you're looking for a wired connection for gaming or TV with lesser delay, and you can forego wireless convenience and noise cancellation, the KZ ZSN Pro with a detachable cable and emphasis on sound quality for music might be more suitable. Keep in mind that the Jabra has an advantage in calls and meetings due to better microphone quality, and additional features such as an app equalizer for sound customization. Give Feedback

SoundGuys

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"

David Becker | 2019
"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."
