What should you get instead of the Elite Active 75t?
Sometimes a standard fit just won’t cut it for workout earbuds. Athletes whose training regiments are particularly vigorous may need an ear hook design for added security. In that case, we often recommend the Beats Powerbeats Pro especially for iPhone users, since these buds house Apple’s H1 chip and use Class 1 Bluetooth. It will cost you $179.95 at Amazon.
The Bose Sport Earbuds isn’t quite as durable as the Jabra Elite Active 75t, but this is still made for athletes. Bose’s IPX4 earbuds operate via Bluetooth 5.1, and support the same Bluetooth codecs as Jabra’s earbuds. Unlike the Elite Active 75t, the Bose Sport Earbuds feature wing tips that secure themselves to your ears. This is a smart design, and less cumbersome than a full-fledged ear hook build. If you’re willing to part with certain features like dust- and superior water resistance, the Sport Earbuds may be a better buy ($129 at Amazon).
The Jabra Elite Active 75t is often compared to the Jaybird Vista 2: both are great workout earbuds for a wide variety of athletes. When it comes to comfort, though, Jabra has Jaybird beat. However, there are good reasons to get the Vista over the Elite Active 75t: for one, the onboard buttons are sturdier, making accidental playback adjustments a non-issue. You’ll pay $144.99 at Amazon for the Vista 2.
If you want to stick to the Jabra sphere but like the earhook design, the Jabra Elite Active 45e is an affordable choice ($98.98 at Amazon). This pair of wireless neckband earbuds supports Bluetooth multipoint, allows you to remain aware of your surroundings by letting ambient noise filter through, and is IP67 certified.
