The Jabra Elite Active 75t excels in exercise use with superior fit and sweat resistance, better portability, and higher build quality, which justifies its higher price. Meanwhile, the Shokz OpenMove offers an open design allowing situational awareness, which is safer for outdoor activities, and they are less expensive. The Jabra has a better overall sound and better noise isolation, essential for noisy environments or focused listening, whereas the Shokz, with bone conduction technology, may be more comfortable for people who dislike earbuds in their ear canal and need to be aware of their surrounding sounds. If phone calls are a priority, the Shokz have a higher microphone quality. The Jabra also offers longer battery life and wireless charging, beneficial for long hours of use without access to power outlets. Choose the Jabra for a high-quality, private listening experience, especially in active and noise-filled environments, or the Shokz for more situational awareness and cost savings. 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."

Lily Katz | May 2023
"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
