If you prioritize exercising with your earbuds, the Jabra Elite Active 75t, with its sweatproof certification and excellent score for use during exercise, would suit you better. They are very portable, have good noise isolation, and support wireless charging. Conversely, if you prefer comfort over long periods and immersive experience for home use, the JBL Live 770NC headphones offer better overall sound quality, active noise cancelling, and virtual surround, which could enhance your TV and gaming experiences despite their low latency not being optimal for these activities. They also have a longer battery life and a detachable cable, which can be convenient. 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."
