Our Verdict

Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless

Jabra Elite 10

The Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless and Jabra Elite 10 are both top-of-the-line headphones. In many ways, they offer similar overall performance with customizable sound. You can even expect high levels of noise isolation from both buds, though the Jabra have the slight edge in this regard. The Sony support LDAC, which is great if you like to stream hi-res audio content.
