Jabra Elite Active 75t review: Top-notch wireless sports earbuds
As it did with its last-generation true wireless headphones, Jabra has once again released a very slight upgrade to its newer Elite 75t model. The new Elite Active 75t arrives about three months or so after the standard Elite 75t (sans Active) debuted. That model was downright excellent, earning a CNET Editors' Choice award. This "active lifestyle edition" costs $200 (£190; $AU329) or $20 more than the standard version and has some small design upgrades. Is it worth the extra dough? The short answer is that for most people, probably not. But if you're looking for a sports headphone for running and other athletic pursuits -- and you sweat a lot -- spending a little more on the Elite Active 75t may give you some added peace of mind that your headphones may hold up better over time.
They cost $20 more than the standard Elite 75t, but sports enthusiasts looking for more durability will appreciate what the Active has to offer.
Better fit and smaller than previous model; Added coating for dust and sweat resistance; Sound better than the AirPods Pro, with better clarity and tighter bass; Good for making calls; IP57 water-resistance rating (fully waterproof); HearThrough transparency mode (lets ambient noise in); 7.5-hour battery life between charges; USB-C charging;
No active noise canceling; No wireless charging; AirPods Pro are slightly better for making calls;
