The Antlion Kimura Duo earbuds are significantly less expensive, have a superb comfort score, and excellent build quality. They perform best for gaming and are wired, offering a boom mic, making them a strong choice for voice communication. However, they're not ideal for exercise or air travel as they provide only moderate noise isolation and are not sweatproof. Give Feedback
