If the best sound quality and build are top priorities and you're willing to pay a premium price, Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EX would be your choice, excelling in music and TV use, with features like active noise cancelling, lossless codec support, and an app equalizer. For budget-conscious users prioritizing exercise and durability, the Jlab Go Air Sport offers very good fit with sweatproof and dustproof qualities at a much lower cost, but with lower sound quality and no active noise cancelling, which might not be ideal for immersive listening experiences.

"If you’ve wanted truly wireless headphones, but couldn’t pick them up because they sound terrible, these will be the headphones that win you over. If you’re the kind of person who would consider spending $400 on headphones, these are the right truly wireless headphones for you."

Tim Gideon | April 2022
"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
