Our Verdict
Beats Solo Pro Wireless
Jabra Elite 4 Active True Wireless
The Jabra Elite 4 Active True Wireless and the Beats Solo Pro Wireless have different strengths, and you may prefer either, depending on what you're looking for. The Jabra headphones' in-ear design makes them much more portable and stable. They're also more customizable since their app includes a graphic EQ and presets. On the other hand, the Beats are on-ear headphones with a significantly better noise isolation performance and much longer continuous battery life.
