Our Verdict

Jabra Elite Sport Truly Wireless

JBL UA True Wireless Flash

The JBL UA True Wireless Flash are better sports headphones than the Jabra Elite Sport Truly Wireless. They are more comfortable and more stable for most sports. They also have a better audio reproduction and are also more versatile for different uses, thanks to their better isolation performance. On the other hand, they don’t have volume controls like the Jabra do, which may be a deal-breaker for some. The Jabra also have a companion app, although the options and controls are limited. Also, our Jabra unit had a noticeable mismatch between the drivers.
