Choose the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 earbuds if you prioritize sound and call quality, as they offer very good overall audio with excellent call performance. They have multiple codec support including LDAC and AAC, active noise cancelling, a low latency mode, and a 6.5-hour battery life with 20 hours in the case, which is suitable for travel or exercise. However, for a budget-friendly choice that allows you to remain aware of your surroundings due to its open design, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction headphones might be suitable, especially if you engage in outdoor activities or need dust and sweatproof features. They have a longer battery life for uninterrupted use but provide a lower sound quality without noise cancellation. Give Feedback

"There’s plenty to like about the ATH-TWX7. A robust set of features brings a lot of convenience to your day. But a few of those tools could still use some fine-tuning and the lack of automatic pausing in 2024 is a head scratcher. Still, the audio is mostly good, and transparency mode is better than most. Add in the solid call quality and the in-app voice test and the ATH-TWX7 are a worthy consideration, especially at this price. Too bad it falls short of being a more complete package some of the competition offers for a slightly larger investment."
"If you're looking for a pair of headphones that can be worn while running or cycling, these Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are a great alternative to more expensive models. They're lightweight and compact, so they won't get in the way when wearing them while exercising. Plus, they have a built-in microphone so you can take calls during your workout without having to stop and fumble with your phone. The sound quality is great for this style of headphones, and it has many other cool features."
