If you prioritize wireless convenience and exercise use, the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds are sweatproof, offer excellent noise isolation, and are ideal for active lifestyles with their secure fit. However, they have a higher cost. On the other hand, the Sony MDR-ZX110 headphones are a budget-friendly option with a wired connection, which means you won't have to worry about battery life, but they lack features such as noise cancellation and are not tailored for sports or exercise. The Jabra offers a more modern feature set including app controls and optimized performance for both Android and Apple devices, but if you're looking for a more affordable and straightforward listening experience without the need for wireless technology, the Sony could suffice.

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."

Audio.org | December 2022
"My opinion about Sony MDR ZX110 is they are the best budget headphones of Sony with top-class sound. Clear vocals, great bass, and balanced sound with low sound distortion. The treble could be sharper, but it's ok. 30 mm neodymium dynamic drivers give clear and precise audio, and an inline remote with a mic give decent call quality. Closed-Back Design also helps to improve sound performance."
