Where are the differences?

There are a few differences between the two True-Wireless Headphones. Let's take a closer look at the points in comparison between the Elite Sport from Jabra and the Soundcore Liberty 2.

Which headphones have the better battery life?

A crucial point for headphones without cables is always the battery life. Here many headphones differ and the capacity grows from year to year. The battery life of the Soundcore Liberty 2 is longer here with 8,0 hours, which is of course better. With a lower battery life of up to 4,5 hours, the Jabra Elite Sport scores worse at this point. Depending on the settings, the battery life turns out significantly lower. The specifications always refer to the ideal case.

For true-wireless headphones, an additional battery in the case has become popular. This way the headphones gain more battery life and can be conveniently charged on the go. Here the Soundcore Liberty 2* offers more power overall. With Case, the headphones have a battery life of up to 32,0 hours. With the Jabra Elite Sport, the battery life is up to 13,5 hours.

Wie werden die Kopfhörer geladen?

Die Ladeanschlüsse der Kopfhöhrer unterscheiden sich. Der Jabra Elite Sport wird per MicroUSB geladen. Der Soundcore Liberty 2 hat einen USB-C Anschluss.

Ein höhrer Standard ist hier immer besser. Die Ladedauer wird verkürzt und du kannst, wenn alle Geräte aktuell sind, die gleichen Kabel nutzen.

Noise Cancelling: ANC

Practical, but not always available: Atkive Noise Cancelling. Both headphones come without Active Noise Cancelling (short: ANC). Thus, you have to do without active noise cancellation with the Jabra Elite Sport and the Soundcore Liberty 2.

How many microphones are there?

Let's move on to the topic of microphones, which also have an impact on voice quality and noise cancellation. Most headphones no longer relied on just one microphone, but several. Here, with 4 microphones per earbud, there is no difference.

Welche Bluetooth Version ist verbaut?

Die beiden TWS-Kopfhörer aus dem Vergleich laufen über Bluetooth. Eine höhere Version ist hier immer besser und wirkt sich auf die Übertragung wie auch den Energieverbrauch aus. Vergleichn wir hier den Jabra Elite Sport und Soundcore Liberty 2, sehen wir Unterschiede:

  • Jabra Elite Sport: Bluetooth 4.2
  • Soundcore Liberty 2: Bluetooth 5.0

Can the earbuds be used separately?

The right earbud can be used independently of the left earbud on almost any True-Wireless headphone. This is also the case with both devices from this comparison. Rarely, the left headphone can be used separately, because they work in dependency of the right ear plug. Mostly the right headphone is the so called master. Only with the Soundcore Liberty 2 you get this handy function.

Are there changeable attachments?

For better carrying comfort, both wireless headphones from the comparison offer interchangeable attachments. The number of pieces is also identical with . Thus, we have no winner and no loser at this point.

Are the headphones waterproof?

Both headphones from the comparison have IP certification. However, the degree of protection is different. The Jabra Elite Sport is certified with IP67. With the Soundcore Liberty 2, you get IPX4 certification. However, an IP certification does not directly mean waterproof. Depending on the certification, the headphones are only water- or sweat-resistant. However, a higher number in the certification is generally better.
