Our Verdict
Jaybird Run Truly Wireless
Jabra Elite Sport Truly Wireless
The Jaybird Run Truly Wireless are slightly better headphones overall when compared to the Jabra Elite Sport Truly Wireless. The Jabra have a more rugged, durable design with better controls. They also have a better case that's sturdier and a lot more compact than that of the Jaybirds. The Jabra also have more sports-oriented features with their app, a longer battery life, and better controls than the Jaybirds. On the other hand, the Run have a more comfortable in-ear fit that most will prefer over that of the Jabra. They also have a better default sound quality and come with a more streamlined app that delivers a good EQ, so you can better adjust them to sound the way you like.
