If you prioritize wireless connectivity and exercise use, the Baseus Bowie MA10 offers Bluetooth support and is sweatproof, ideal for workouts. Despite the higher price, it also provides better microphone quality for calls. However, if you prefer wired earbuds, are mindful of budget, and want superior build quality, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS is a less expensive option and has a cable for a reliable, lossless connection. The Creative Labs model also features a dynamic driver which can offer a rich sound experience, but lacks the modern features like app equalization and optimized support for Android/Apple devices that the Baseus model provides. Choose Baseus for modern wireless features and fitness use, or Creative Labs for classic wired listening with stronger build quality at a lower cost. Give Feedback

"Even if the Bowie MA10 only had some of the features and performance they offer at double the price, they’d be a helluva good value. But given that they far exceed any other earbuds at this price, if you’re looking for an ultra-affordable set of wireless earbuds and you don’t mind their big charging case, you just can’t go wrong."

Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"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."
