I like this list a lot. I feel like in the mid range it would be worth adding jabra elite 3 active’s. I actually prefer them slightly over my soundcore liberty pro 3’s

I use jabra elite noise cancelling earbuds and they've worked great for me! I like that I can press the button on the earbud to turn on hear through and it amplifies the sound in the event I need to hear someone speak, and then another press and I'm back into noise cancelling mode! These are my first noise cancelling headphones so forgive me if that's a common thing in those.

I’ve got Jabra Actives and never had an issue with them.

Jabra Elite maybe? I have the active ones for working out, I think they are solid! Jabra is Danish.

Jabra Elite Active have been perfect for me for years. Also have small ears, so buds with loops don't quite fit me properly. My Jabras have stood up to years of running. They also have a hear-through mode where you can hear ambient sounds through your music.

Oh damn, you're right! That sucks, they are really good. Might have to try find an extra pair. Thanks for the heads-up!

These are really two different types of buds. Gym is relatively low sweat where ANC and sound quality are a big factor. Running, especially outside, should focus more on IPX rating and maintaining awareness. I use the Beats Pro for the gym, and Jabra Elite Actives for running. I’ve had too many earbuds that were supposedly for running that absolutely shit the bed when the rain starts, or excessive sweat. That’s where that IPX rating really comes into play. IPX4 won’t get it done. Unfortunately, there is a correlation between High IPX and poor’ish sound quality. Also unfortunately, Jabra no longer makes the active earbuds. I have not found a good substitute yet. The Jabras will perform in a tsunami.
