The Jabra Elite Active 75t offers a sweatproof and dustproof design with active noise cancelling, making them ideal for exercise and travel. They also have wireless charging and longer battery life which is beneficial for extended use. On the other hand, Skullcandy Dime is more affordable, but lacks active noise cancelling and has a shorter battery life, which might be less convenient for frequent travelers or those using them for long periods. If budget is a constraint and noise cancellation isn't a priority, consider the Dime. For more robust features and better suitability for active lifestyles, the Jabra might be worth the investment.

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."
