The Jabra Elite 4 earbuds would suit you if portability, sweat and dust resistance, and active noise cancelling are priorities, making them a great choice for exercise and travel. They also have a superior microphone for calls and meetings, and offer better battery life during typical use. However, if you prioritize sound quality for music listening at home and prefer the comfort of over-ear headphones, the Soundcore Space One is the better option, also featuring an LDAC codec for high-quality audio and longer battery life on a single charge. The Space One headphones are also foldable for easier storage. Keep in mind that neither are optimal for gaming or TV due to their sound latency. 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"

Tim Gideon | September 2023
"The Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
