If you're active and need earbuds that securely fit during exercise, are sweatproof, have excellent built-in controls, and are very portable, the Jabra Elite Active 75t would serve you well. However, if you're looking for over-ear headphones for air travel with active noise cancelling, longer battery life, and the ability to connect via both wireless and wired modes, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC might be better despite a lower build quality. The Jabra has an edge with a better enclosure type for use during workouts, while the JLab offers a more suitable choice for long-duration usage like flights, despite its generally lower price point.
