Our Verdict
Jaybird Run Truly Wireless
Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless
The Jabra Elite Active 65t Truly Wireless are slightly better than the Jaybird Run Truly Wireless, although not by much. The Jaybird have a more comfortable in-ear fit and come with a few stability fin options, which makes them a bit more stable for running and for different ear shapes and sizes. On the other hand, the Elite 65t have a more stable Bluetooth connection and can pair to multiple devices at once. The Jabra also have a longer continuous battery life than the Jaybird.
