Our Verdict
Anker SoundCore Spirit X Wireless
Jaybird Tarah Pro Wireless
The Jaybird Tarah Pro Wireless are better headphones than the Anker Soundcore Spirit X Wireless. The Jaybird are better-made, and you can also customize their sound to your liking thanks to their companion app. The Jaybird's amazing wireless range is also better, and you get better default sound quality, even before EQ'ing them. On the other hand, the Anker are very comfortable in-ears and come with plenty of fit options. They also come with a nice hard case and have good sound quality for their price point, which might offer better value for most users.
