If you prioritize high-quality sound and build, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EX offers excellent sound, premium build quality, active noise cancelling, and sweatproof certification, suitable for a luxurious listening experience including air travel and exercise. However, they come at a premium price. On the other hand, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are much less expensive and provide good sound and comfort, but with poorer microphone quality and without active noise cancellation. They are a budget-friendly choice great for casual listening and everyday use, without the high-end features of the Beoplay EX. Both are true wireless earbuds with similar battery life and wireless charging features. Consider your budget and how much you value sound quality and additional features when making your choice.

The Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EX has best in class build quality, while the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds has excellent build quality.
"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."
"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."
