Our Verdict
Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless
Jabra Elite 7 Pro True Wireless
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro True Wireless are better than the Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless for most purposes. The Jabra have a much more comfortable, stable fit, a significantly better control scheme, and a longer continuous battery life. Their default sound profile is more neutral, which some may prefer. Their mic also has a much better recording quality, although the Sony’s has a better noise handling performance. The Sony are also better built and support NFC pairing.
