If maximum comfort, sound quality, and luxury are your priority and you're willing to pay a premium, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 headphones offer an excellent, immersive listening experience with great noise isolation and active noise cancelling, suitable for air travel and focused listening sessions. They're versatile for music, calls, gaming, and TV, with wireless capabilities and a long battery life. However, if budget is a concern and you prefer something simple for everyday use, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS earbuds are much less expensive and provide good comfort and sound quality for listening to music, podcasts, and making calls without the added features such as noise-cancelling or wireless connectivity. They are more portable and can be suitable for light exercise but not as feature-rich for varied activities. Give Feedback

"The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 offers a near bespoke level of build quality and design with impeccable materials, intuitive controls, and great sound. From an industrial design perspective, they are one of the best wireless headphones we have tested so far."
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."
