The Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds are a suitable choice for exercise due to sweat and dust resistance, and high portability; they also feature active noise canceling which is beneficial for travel and noisy environments. However, the JLab JBuds Work Wireless headphones have better mic quality which might be preferable for calls and meetings, and significantly longer battery life that is ideal for extended use. If you prioritize comfort and use during long work sessions, with the benefit of being able to use them wired, the JLab JBuds could be the better option, while the Jabra earbuds are optimized for active lifestyles and have a higher score for use during exercise.

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."

PC Magazine
Tim Gideon | February 2022
"The JLab JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
