If you prioritize sound quality for music and gaming, and prefer a wired connection with the versatility of a replaceable boom mic, the Antlion Kimura Duo may be better for you, despite its higher price. However, the Jlab Go Air Sport is more affordable, offers a wireless experience with a longer battery life, and is sweatproof, making it suitable for exercise and outdoor use. The Jlab earbuds also come with integrated ear hooks for a secure fit, but they compromise on sound quality across various content types. If you often travel or are active, and need a budget-friendly option with decent mic quality, the Jlab Go Air Sport could be suitable. For gaming and music listening in a stationary setting, the Antlion Kimura Duo might be the preferable choice. Give Feedback

"Antlion Kimura Duo aren’t packed with features, but the ones they offer, work incredibly well. Especially the boom mic delivers very clean call quality with no distortion. If you explicitly look for gaming in-ear monitors with a reliable microphone, Antlion Kimura Duo are your best option."

Tim Gideon | April 2022
"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
