If you're active and need earbuds for exercise, the Jabra Elite Active 75t, with its sweatproof certification and secure fit, is an excellent choice, plus they're more affordable and offer very good noise isolation for travel. However, if you prioritize sound quality, especially for gaming, TV, and video where latency is a concern, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus may be worth the extra cost, featuring aptX Adaptive codec for lower latency and virtual surround sound, although they're bulkier and not sweatproof. For calls and professional meetings, Sennheiser’s mic quality and battery life are superior. Both have good apps for equalizer settings but if you need a detachable cable for wired use, that's a point for Sennheiser. Give Feedback
