Apple AirPods Pro vs Jabra Elite 75t - Which is better?

With Apple's AirPods Pro and the Jabra Elite 75t, we have two extremely good True Wireless in-ear headphones from 2019. Where are the differences? Which headphones are the better ones? Let's compare the two.

Comparison table

Differences AirPods Pro and Jabra Elite 75t

We're talking about the AirPods Pro. Not the AirPods 2. The Pro version is the slightly larger version of the AirPods. You can find more about this in the comparison of AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro.

Battery life

We have an enormous difference in battery life. The AirPods Pro only offer a battery life of up to 4.5 hours. Jabra has a battery life of up to 7.5 hours. That's a fat number more.

Apple offers an additional 24 hours of battery via the case. But here, too, Jabra can outperform with 28 hours.

In terms of battery life, Jabra is definitely ahead with the Elite 75t*. This is also true in comparison to the AirPods 2, which have a battery life of 5 hours.

Wireless charging is possible with the Apple AirPods Pro. For a small surcharge this is also possible with the AirPods 2. Jabra, however, doesn't offer this. Whereby the manufacturer has planned and announced this for the Elite 75t. In my opinion, however, no enormous advantage with headphones.

Waterproof

Apple AirPods Pro finally have IP certification. They are IPX4 certified. The Elite 75t from Jabra have IP55 certification. Now you're probably right to ask yourself what the difference is.
 

• IPX4: Water and sweat resistant (Not suitable for water sports!)
• IP55: Dust and water (Not suitable for water sports!)

Although the Elite 75 offers theoretically more here. But in practice this is not really relevant. Both headphones can be used without problems during sports. Both headphones are not suitable for water sports, such as swimming.

Fit and attachments

Compared to AirPods 2, AirPods Pro has one advantage. You get 3 different attachments for a better fit. That's progress. But Jabra has more to offer here. The manufacturer has long been known for the many attachments on its headphones. Basically, Jabra has the right fit for everyone.

Voice control

The AirPods Pro have voice control. Of course this is Siri with an Apple product. I don't think it's the best voice control, but it doesn't belong here. With Jabra you have to do without voice control completely. So you don't get any Alexa or Google Assistant. 

Active Noise Cancelling

The Apple AirPods Pro can trump with the point of ANC (Actice Noise Cancelling). Jabra doesn't offer that. Here there is only passive noise suppression. In my opinion, this is already quite good with Jabra, but no comparison to ANC.

Which one is better?

In general, both headphones are good models. In general, however, none is better than the other. Which headphones are better for you depends on your needs.

If you need a long battery life, buy the Jabra Elite 75t*.

If you want Active Noise Cancelling, Apple AirPods Pro* is your choice. There you can also get voice control (Siri) and very easy handling with Apple products. By the way, AirPods are not only usable with Apple products. You can use the headphones with any Bluetooth enabled device.

In comparison between Jabra Elite 75t and Apple AirPods 2 it looks a bit different. Here I would recommend the Jabra Elite 75t*.
