Our Verdict
Beats Fit Pro True Wireless
Jabra Elite 8 Active
The Jabra Elite 8 Active and the Beats Fit Pro True Wireless are both sporty earbuds, but the Jabra are more well-rounded. The Jabra are more comfortable, better built, and have a longer continuous playback time. Their companion app also offers a graphic EQ if you want to adjust their sound to your liking, and they support multi-device pairing, so you can stay connected to your PC and smartphone simultaneously. That said, the Beats have better noise cancelling.
