If you prioritize exercise use and need earbuds with higher sweat resistance and durability, the Jabra Elite Active 75t would be the better option since they are specifically designed to be sweatproof and dustproof, making them ideal for rigorous workouts. On the other hand, if budget is a significant consideration and you are looking for decent sound quality without the premium price, the Moondrop Nekocake offers a good balance of sound and features for a lower cost. Both offer good sound quality for everyday use, but the Jabra has slightly better noise isolation and is more suited for calls and meetings due to better microphone quality, whereas the Moondrop offers a slightly better soundstage. Keep in mind the Jabra also supports wireless charging, which can be a convenient feature, but they are considerably more expensive. 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."

Jarvin | January 2022
"What sets the Nekocake apart from its competition at this price point is the Moondrop Link app that allows the user to change the tonal balance of the Nekocake. This makes sure that it’s versatile enough to suit different sonic preferences while allowing some customization of controls."
