Our Verdict

Jabra Elite 65t Truly Wireless

Sony WF-XB700 Truly Wireless

The Jabra Elite 65t Truly Wireless are somewhat better overall headphones than the Sony WF-XB700 Truly Wireless. The Jabra have a more stable in-ear fit. The Jabra also have better noise isolation and leakage performance, as well as a better-performing integrated mic that makes them better for phone calls. They work with a companion app that gives you access to lots of customization features including a graphic EQ, so you can tweak their sound to your liking. On the other hand, the Sony are more comfortable and have longer battery life.
