Bluetooth Connectivity

Jabra Elite 7 Active
They stay put (even my Bose soundsports would bounce a little when I got really sweaty) Cons: the biggest… Bluetooth connection. It connects fine and fast but if you use them with more than one device you need to “forget device” and re-add it every time you alternate. The controls aren’t great but I can’t think of a better way to do it in a wireless earbud so I’ll get used to it. Finicky… occasionally when trying to connect the Bluetooth and working the controls I’ll hold the button down too long on one bud so I’ll only get sound in the other… so then I have to restart the whole process again
Noise Cancellation
Corsair Void RGB Elite
Love this headset! I have a newborn at home and these are perfect for work calls since I am working from home. it is noise cancelling enough and I love that the microphone mutes automatically when you lift it up so if i need to yell something out at home, no one on the call can hear. Would highly recommend
Jabra Elite 7 Active
You get slightly better mic performance for phone calls with the Elite 7 Pro, while if you're looking for the best noise cancellation, Sony's $279.99 WF-1000XM4 earphones are our top pick. But if want the most durable, exercise-friendly pair that does everything pretty well, it's worth checking out the Elite 7 Active.
Fit
Corsair Void RGB Elite
Comfortable headset for larger head, falls off of smaller heads. The ear cuffs rotate so you can lay the headset flat on the table. The ear cuffs are comfortable and not hot. Decent quality audio and mic
Jabra Elite 7 Active
Pros: 1. Comfortable perfect deep fit and noise isolation is very good. 2. Battery life is great, I have not been able to fully drain them yet

Jabra Elite 7 Active
Best of all they are comfortable for the hour plus workout time. I have not been able to put them to the battery torcher test as my work outs are too short. The noise canceling worked well enough to block out consistent noise or hum of the gym but you will still hear a cars honk (thankfully). They are light weight/compact and you won't notice them in the workout bag
Sound Quality
Corsair Void RGB Elite
I am returning these and going for the Sennheiser set and hopefully the sound quality, setup and design will be better with those, even though the reviews are kind of terrible too. Also, they took forever to get here. I ordered them on the 9th and they got here on the 14th. Not as quick as advertised when buying

We also like how clearly you can hear your own voice while speaking—this volume level is also adjustable in the app. In practice, this feature lets you speak more softly even in loud environments; the mics focus on you and reject environmental noise. Aside from not using bone conduction technology like the Elite 7 Pro's mics, another key difference is that a SAATI Acoustex mesh material used here, which helps improve communication in windy environments.
Battery Life
Corsair Void RGB Elite
This is the third Corsair product I've encountered issues with, either within a very short amount of time using or out of the box. The wireless function of the headset is nice and convenient, the headset is comfortable, and the audio quality is good AFTER installing iCUE and setting your preferences. The battery life is abysmal. My product had issues out of the box, where it will not charge beyond 78% regardless of how long it is charging, and the battery drains at what seems like a very quick pace (two hours and half that 78% charge is gone)
Jabra Elite 7 Active
The downloadable instructions says the battery lasts 11 hours, or 9 hours with ANC enabled. Quick charge 5 minutes in the case increases the life 1.2 hours. 3
Durability
Corsair Void RGB Elite
I can unplug them in the morning and be absolutely certain they will get me through a full work day. If I forget to charge them at night, they will still be fine for at least a few hours the next morning. Their connectivity has been rock solid - never disconnected unless I disconnect them by walking too far away, and then reconnecting instantly. I also love the flip-up micr acting as a mute switch not visible to others on a Zoom call
