If budget is a concern and you prefer wired earbuds with very good mic quality for gaming, the Antlion Kimura Duo could suit your needs; however, its suitability for exercise and noise isolation is limited. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest in premium wireless headphones with excellent call quality, active noise cancelling for travel, and low latency for TV and gaming, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus is a better option, albeit at a higher price. The Sennheisers also have an app equalizer for sound customization and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices. Give Feedback
