Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.

251CaneElite 7 Actives for me. Now that Jabra doesn’t make earbuds anyone I don’t know what I’ll do when the battery dies
Brilliant-Hand6132Jabra elite 7 active or sony link buds, both great mics and all rounder daily use.
Bry_ZalIt used to be very easy. Jabra Elite Active 7. For literally any purpose. Now that they broke I have no idea what to replace them with since everything else feels inferior.
charlemagne_74For gym use, try looking into the Soundcore Sport X10 or the Jabra Elite 7 Active, both have secure fits and solid sweat resistance. The Jabra has better noise isolation, while the Soundcore usually hits harder on bass. If you want to check them out in real time, [Whatnot](https://whatnot.com/invite/dineritoreferido) has live audio gear streams where verified sellers test earbuds on camera and compare sound profiles before you buy. It’s great if you want to see fit and mic tests instead of relying only on reviews.
cutegreenshyguyWent from the Elite 7 Active to the Pixel Buds Pro. Provided a similar set of on-bud controls, though I still prefer buttons over capacitive
Diligent_Squirrel752Alongside my XM3, a nice pair of Jabra Elite 7 Actives supplement them and I must say that it is sublime.
