If you're seeking earbuds for an active lifestyle, particularly for exercise and outdoor activities, the Jabra Elite Active 75t would be the better choice since they are both sweatproof and have a higher durability rating, ensuring they can withstand rigorous use. However, if budget is a significant concern, the JLab Go Air Pop offers good basic functionality for casual use at a typically much lower price point. For those who prioritize battery life, the JLab Go Air Pop has a slightly longer battery life for typical use and comes with a case providing additional charges. Both have a stable wireless connection but the Jabra has the edge with better overall sound quality and noise isolation, which could be important if you are in noisier environments or are particular about audio fidelity. Neither is ideal for gaming or TV due to their latency, but for everyday calls, music, and active use the Jabra could justify its higher price with its additional features like active noise cancelling and superior build quality.

"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 JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."
