I bought the Jabra Elite 4 Active after being a long time user of the Jabra 75t. I also heavily use the Google Pixel Buds version 2 and the A series Pixel Buds. This review though will be comparing the Jabra Elite 4 to the Jabra 75t since that's what they replaced for me.
*AUDIO - I'm most definitely not an audiophile. I stuck with my Sony Walkman long after CD players came out. With that said I think these sound a bit better then the 75t. There isn't a huge difference but they sound fuller to me.
*ANC - At first I though the ANC on these was going to be worse. When I did the setup I just couldn't tell much of a difference when I adjusted the slider to configure it. However now that I've used it in situations like a noisy cafeteria...It's definitely better then the 75t. With the 75t the ANC had problems drowning out the coffee machine that is used in the cafeteria. The Jabra Elite 4 do a much better job muting that noise. The one downside is that it seems like the ANC has more of a hiss/hum on the Jabra Elite 4 when ANC is on in a quiet environment. I don't notice it if I'm playing music but if it's silent then I can hear it.
*FEEL - The 75t fit really well for me. The Jabra Elite 4 feel to me to be a bit "bulkier" but they don't slip or move around so overall not much of a change.
*MIC - I used by the 75t and the Jabra Elite 4 to call my mom and both got used in non-ideal situations. For instance I'd be walking outside with a scarf/mask over my mouth and a wool/knit cap over my head, ears, and earbuds. I'd also be walking along a noisy road sometimes. My mom actually said the Jabra Elite 4 sounded better. It's funny on what noise they pick up and don't pick up. Neither earbuds picked up my hat moving or rustling against them. They also both do a good job of blocking wind noise. But my mom could tell if I was walking on a stone path by the noise of my shoes on the stones. The Jabra Elite 4 seemed to do a better job blocking out the road/car noise though.
BUTTONS - The buttons on the 75t were much easier to press. But I think that's the tradeoff to having the Jabra Elite 4's have better water resistance. The other benefit is that the harder buttons mean my wool cap isn't accidentally pressing buttons. But for some it might be painful to apply the additional force on the buttons which forces the earbuds into the ear a bit more.
CONNECTIVITY - I bring this category up mainly to say I really didn't have any problems with the 75t and I don't with the Jabra Elite 4. No technology is foolproof so there are the occasional times where things "just don't connect" but usually that's fixed by just restarted my phone or reseating earbuds in the case. It doesn't happen very often though.
CONS - I have two cons. The first is the notification sounds. The 75ts had actual spoken words. You hit the mode button and it would say "ANC" or "HearThrough". You knew clearly what mode you were using. With the Jabra Elite 4 it uses just a distinct tone. I can never remember what tone goes to what. Luckily it's pretty easy to tell what mode you are in by how things sound (muted or clear to hear). I'm sure this change was made so that a separate firmware for each language didn't have to be maintained but still annoying. The second con is button function mapping. For some reason the button controls on the 75t and the Jabra elite 4 are different. They are similar but not completely the same. For instance to skip to the next song on the 75t you hit the left earbud button twice. To do that on the Jabra Elite 4 you hit the RIGHT earbud button twice. I don't know why they would change things around since both have the same number of buttons.

Reviews with images
definitely worth it/ survived the wash
Bought these months ago, they are 100% worth it. I wasn't planning on writing one of these but I just accidentally ran one of my earbuds through the wash and it still works so I figured that was a worthy test to tell others planning to buy them about. My favorite part is that you can use either ear without the other, so just do one at a time and you've got double the charged time on them, 3x if you count the case.
