If you lead an active lifestyle and need earbuds that are portable and sweat-resistant, the Jabra Elite Active 75t would be a good choice despite the higher cost. They're designed for movement and have secure fit, making them suitable for workouts. On the other hand, if you prefer gaming or long listening sessions at home and require over-ear comfort and possibly better sound stage, the Razer Kraken would suit you better, even if they lack the portability and water-resistance of the Jabra earbuds. Also, the Kraken's microphone is a plus for gaming and online communication. Give Feedback

The Jabra Elite Active 75t has excellent build quality, while the Razer Kraken has very good build quality.
"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."
"Generally the Kraken is a very comfortable headset and there’s nothing that really identifies it as anything else. All in, the Kraken performed exactly as I’d expect a premium, designated gaming headset to perform: performing well in game audio, though not quite with the same quality of those headsets further up the price scale."
