The Jabra Elite Active 75t are earbuds designed for exercise with high comfort, portability, sweatproof and dustproof certification, and good noise isolation; they are well-suited for calls, meetings, and use during exercise. They offer wireless charging, app-based equalizer customization, and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices with a decent battery life. On the other hand, the Marshall Major IV headphones have superior overall sound quality, a more durable build, and exceptionally long battery life but are bulkier and not sweatproof, which makes them less ideal for exercise. They also lack app customization and are not optimized for use with specific smartphone OS platforms. If sound quality and battery life are your top priorities, and you don't need the exercise features, go for the Marshall Major IV, but if you need earbuds for active use with customizable features, the Jabra Elite Active 75t would be the better option, despite being more expensive.

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."

Sound Guys
Jasper Lastoria | September 2023
"The Marshall Major IV shares quite a bit in common with its predecessor, but a key upgrade appears to be softer ear cushions. They make upgrading worth it. As a set of basic wired or wireless headphones the Major IV ticks most boxes by remaining easy to use, and fairly comfortable (at least, as on-ear headphones go)."
