The Apple AirPods Pro offer superior noise isolation, better optimization for Apple devices, active noise cancelling, and a higher build quality, making them a better choice for noisy environments and seamless integration with Apple products. However, they come at a higher price. The Raycon Everyday Earbuds have a better durability rating, are more comfortable, have a longer battery life for the buds themselves, and are sweatproof, which might suit active lifestyles better and at a lower cost. Neither is particularly suited for gaming or TV due to audio latency considerations. Choose AirPods Pro for noise cancellation and Apple ecosystem integration or Raycon for comfort, exercise suitability, and affordability. Give Feedback

Sound Guys

Adam Molina | January 2023
"For just $50 USD more than the original model with the wireless charging case, this is definitely the pair of buds to get. The AirPods Pro (1st generation) sounds better than the originals and has a way better fit and active noise canceling to boot. If you have an iOS device, just get this."

Wired

Parker Hall | January 2023
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
