If you prioritize a secure fit and high durability for heavy exercise, the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds are well-suited with their sweat and dustproof design, and excellent in-use scores for exercising. They are also more portable and offer very good noise isolation without active noise cancelling. In contrast, the JBL Live 670NC headphones may be better if comfort over long periods and virtual surround for an immersive experience are more important to you. They also have the advantage with a significantly longer battery life and a lower price point, but they are less portable and not sweatproof. Choose the Jabra for active use and the JBL for comfort and battery life during longer listening sessions, like travel or work. Give Feedback

Tom's Guide

Alex Bracetti | November 2022
"Audio is spacious and warm, delivering just the right amount of boom to kickstart your workouts without compromising the mids and highs. Battery life (both on a single charge and the charging case) is superior to all AirPods models. The extremely durable shell also reassures you that it’s going to take more than some severe environmental conditions to damage these buds."
