Our Verdict
Jabra Elite Active 75t Truly Wireless
Jabra Elite 85t Truly Wireless
The Jabra Elite 85t Truly Wireless and the Jabra Elite Active 75t Truly Wireless are very similarly performing earbuds, but people who prefer a bass-rich sound profile, like fans of EDM or hip-hop, may prefer the Active 75t. The Active 75t also have a higher rating for water and dust resistance, although we don't test for it currently. However, the 85t have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and they recharge more quickly.
