The Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds may fit you better if you're active and need something sweat and dustproof, with a secure fit for exercise, and a more compact form for portability. They also provide a higher score for use during exercise, air travel, and their portability. However, they offer less immersive sound quality compared to the Soundcore Space Q45 headphones, which excel with a better soundstage and higher overall sound quality. The Q45s are also suitable for longer listening sessions with a significantly longer battery life, and they feature active noise canceling which is a major plus if you're often in noisy environments. The Soundcore Space Q45 headphones also support LDAC for higher-quality audio over Bluetooth and offer a foldable design, making them easier to transport despite their larger size. If calls are a priority, the Jabra earbuds have a better mic quality. Price aside, your choice should reflect whether portability, exercise readiness, and calling capability (Jabra) or sound quality, noise cancellation, and longer battery life (Soundcore) are more important for your needs.

"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 Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
