True wireless earbuds have come a long way in a short amount of time. As someone who loudly rejected the mobile phone trend of jettisoning the 3.5mm headphone jack, I’ve come to appreciate and in many ways prefer Bluetooth wireless earbuds like the Jabra Elite 75t when comfort and all around performance are my top priorities. Some wireless earphones like the Sennheiser True Wireless 2 even satisfy perhaps the most important metric to an audiophile, sound fidelity. Some simply offer incredibly useful features like hands-free Assistant on the Pixel Buds, which I find indispensable for fast-forwarding through podcasts while I’m on a run.

After recently enjoying time with the new Jabra Elite 85t earbuds and Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds Pro, I was struck by a number of feature similarities along with some key differences in design and price. Both are solid choices for most people, with some distinct differences that set them apart from each other.

The design of the Jabra Elite 85t is, at this point, rather predictable considering it looks nearly the same as it has since the Jabra Elite 65t three years…
