Our Verdict

Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless

Jabra Elite 8 Active True Wireless

The Beats PowerBeats Pro Truly Wireless and the Jabra Elite 8 Active are both great sports earbuds, and you might prefer either. The Beats have ear hooks to keep them in place, giving you an extra sense of security when you're running outside. They offer a longer, continuous battery life. However, the Jabra have an equally stable fit and a higher IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, which is nice for dusty or rainy runs. They're more customizable since they have a companion app that lets you remap the controls and adjust the sound profile.
