If you prioritize call and meeting quality, the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless with a higher mic quality score would be a better choice. For frequent exercise or active use, the Jabra Elite Active 75t are designed to be secure and sweatproof, making them more suitable. While the JBL has a higher overall sound quality score, which might be more appealing for music aficionados, the Jabra offers better sound isolation if you're often in noisy environments. Both offer similar battery life; however, the Jabra provides wireless charging and a longer battery life with the case, which could be convenient. Consider the Jabra Elite Active 75t if active noise cancelling and sweatproof features are critical and worth the higher price; if not, the JBL Vibe Beam presents a budget-friendly option with commendable sound and mic quality.

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."

"The Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."
