If you prioritize high-quality sound and noise isolation for commuting or traveling, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EQ offers better build quality and active noise cancelling, making them suitable for noisy environments. However, they are considerably more expensive. On the other hand, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are more affordable, very comfortable for long listening sessions, and have a longer battery life in the earbuds themselves for extended use. They lack active noise cancellation, which may be a downside if you frequently find yourself in noisy surroundings. Neither have low latency features, which could be a drawback for gaming or watching videos. Give Feedback

How the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EQ and the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds compare to other earbuds and headphones
"Bang & Olufsen’s audio products prioritize style and function just as much as sound quality. The company’s latest Beoplay EQ noise-cancelling true wireless earphones combine strong, accurate-leaning audio with solid noise cancellation in an exceedingly classy design."
"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."
