If exercise and portability are your priorities, the Jabra Elite Active 75t is superior with a high exercise score and full waterproofing. For everyday listening, both earbuds offer decent sound, but the Jabra has a slight edge in overall sound quality and noise isolation. If you often take calls or have online meetings, both models score comparably on microphone quality. For battery life, the Soundcore P20i outperforms the Jabra by a small margin. However, the Soundcore also offers better performance for gaming and watching TV and videos due to lower latency. Both models support app customization, but if budget is a concern, the less expensive Soundcore P20i still delivers good value and versatile functionality. Give Feedback

The extremely durable shell also reassures you that it’s going to take more than some severe environmental conditions to damage these buds."
