If you prioritize durability, exercise use, and are willing to pay more for a midrange option with higher build quality and a reliable brand reputation, the Jabra Elite Active 75t would be the better choice. They're optimized for both Android and Apple devices, feature a notably secure fit during exercise, and have active noise cancelling which is suitable for travel and noisy environments. However, the Soundcore Life P3, being significantly less expensive, offers similar sound quality and comfort, with excellent noise isolation, longer battery life in the charging case, and slightly better soundstage. They also have active noise cancelling and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices but lack a sports certification for sweat resistance, making them slightly less ideal for intense workouts.

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."

Alex Bracetti | July 2021
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
