If you prioritize sound quality and listen to a lot of music, the Soundcore Space A40 provides better performance. However, for sports and exercise, the Jabra Elite Active 75t is the more suitable option with better sweat and dust resistance, along with a more secure fit. The Jabra also offers slightly longer battery life in the earbuds themselves, while the Soundcore has an extended total battery life when including its charging case. Additionally, if an equalizer to customize sound is important to you, both options offer app support, but only the Soundcore has app controls customization. Considering these factors alongside the price difference will guide your choice. 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."

"The Anker Soundcore Space A40 is an excellent deal if you want affordable noise canceling earbuds with great sound. The baseline frequency response is enjoyable, and the many EQ presets to choose from plus the ability to customize your sound profile makes it good for pretty much anyone. The noise canceling is quite good, and the many ear tips to choose from ensure a good fit for the noise canceling and isolation to do its job."
