Our Verdict
Jabra Elite 65t Truly Wireless
Samsung Galaxy Buds
The Samsung Galaxy Buds are slightly better truly wireless headphones than the Jabra Elite 65t Truly Wireless. The Samsung are more comfortable and their wireless Qi charging case is nice. They have a more balanced and neutral sound profile that some users may prefer too. On the other hand, the Jabra are better-suited for isolation low-frequency noises and are a better option for commuting. Also, they have a graphic preset that the Samsung lack. They can be connected to two devices, which you can’t do with these Samsung headphones. The Samsung have a touch-sensitive control scheme while the Jabra have physical buttons that offer volume controls without the need for an app.
