The Full Story

LoveBar's deep-dive, written for humans ๐Ÿ’•

Jabra and Sony come at the earbud game from completely different directions, and the result is a comparison where your daily routine picks the winner for you. Jabra's Elite 10 Gen 2 are secretly the best work earbuds on the market, with microphone quality that makes your voice sound clear and natural on calls, even in noisy coffee shops. The fit is also exceptional, with an ergonomic shape that sits in your ears without creating pressure, so those three-hour meeting marathons do not leave your ears sore. Sony's WF-1000XM5 counter with sound quality that is honestly hard to beat in the wireless world, delivering music with a richness and depth that makes everything else feel slightly flat. They also last longer on a single charge, which is a real advantage for heavy users. The noise cancelling is so close between these two that calling a winner would be splitting hairs, both are excellent at making the world go quiet. If your earbuds are a work tool first and a music player second, Jabra makes your day better. If music is the main event and calls are a side quest, Sony is the clear choice.
