The Jabra Elite Active 75t boasts wireless convenience and is designed for an active lifestyle with features like sweatproof and dustproof certifications, making them a great choice for exercise, with a secure fit and high portability. They also offer active noise cancelling for quieter environments and better immersion. However, the Moondrop Chu has superior overall sound quality and mic quality, which could be preferable for music enthusiasts and calls. The Moondrops are wired and come with cable ear hooks for a secure fit, but they lack the Jabra's exercise-optimized features. Consider your primary activities: if exercise and convenience are key, Jabra might suit you best, but for sound quality and value, Moondrop could be the better choice. Give Feedback

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 2022
"These budget buds put the pressure on those premium priced in-ear monitors to really justify the cost disparity. Offering excellent sound quality at any price, the Moondrop Chu is both a perfect entry into the audio enthusiast hobby, and an all around good pick for music fans."
