If you're looking for durability, wireless convenience, and the ability to use earbuds during exercise, the Jabra Elite Active 75t would be a good choice, as they are sweatproof and offer a secure fit suitable for physical activities. They also provide good noise isolation and are significantly more portable, thanks to their earbud form factor, making them handy for travel and commuting. On the other hand, if you prioritize outstanding sound quality and a wide soundstage for a truly immersive listening experience, especially for music at home, the Sennheiser HD600 headphones are superior. However, they are bulkier, have an open-back design that doesn't isolate noise well, are not suitable for exercise, and require a wired connection, which might limit mobility and convenience.

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."
