If you prioritize premium sound quality and active noise cancelling for immersive music and air travel, go for the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95; they also have a long battery life and are foldable for portability. However, these are heavier and come at a high-end price. On the other hand, if you need something for exercise and don't want to spend much, the Jlab Go Air Sport are sweatproof, more lightweight, and budget-friendly, but they have poor sound quality and no noise cancelling, which makes them less ideal for critical listening or noise-filled environments.

The Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 has excellent build quality, while the Jlab Go Air Sport has very good build quality.
"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."
"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."
