The Jabra Elite Active 75t are wireless, highly portable earbuds that offer good noise isolation, sweatproof and dustproof design, and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices. They are a solid choice for exercise, travel, and listening to books or podcasts due to their secure fit and long battery life, including a charging case. In comparison, the JBL Quantum 100 headphones provide a better immersive gaming experience and higher microphone quality, making them suitable for gamers and call-intensive use. However, they lack wireless capabilities and are not as portable or exercise-friendly as the Jabra earbuds. If you're willing to invest more for versatility and wireless convenience, the Jabra is the way to go, but for a focus on gaming and budget-friendliness, the JBL headphones should be your pick.

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."

CNN Underscored

Wes Davis | July 2023
"I appreciate a functional piece of tech as much as I do gear on the bleeding edge, and the JBL Quantum 100 certainly falls in the former category. The sound is reasonably good, the built-in microphone is surprisingly reliable and it has a thoughtful design for the price. It lacks the convenience of Bluetooth, sure, but sometimes it’s nice not to have to worry about the finicky nature of wireless communication and go with good old hard-wired tech."
