If you value overall sound quality and making calls, the Antlion Kimura Duo may be the better choice with higher sound and microphone quality, but they won't suit you well for exercise due to a lower score in that use case. On the other hand, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones, while they have lower sound and mic quality, are better for use during exercise, being sweatproof and dustproof. Additionally, bone conduction headphones allow you to remain aware of your surroundings, making them a safer choice for outdoor activities. However, without active noise canceling, they might not be ideal for travel where you want to isolate yourself from noise. Give Feedback
