If you're on a budget and looking for earbuds suited for exercise and air travel with a simpler user interface, the Baseus Bowie MA10 could be a good choice, especially considering their lower price point. However, their overall sound quality is fair, and they may not perform well for music or calls. Conversely, the Creative Labs Outlier Pro offers better overall sound and very good noise isolation, which could make them more suitable for calls and listening to various types of audio content, but they are often somewhat more expensive. Additionally, the Outlier Pro has a slightly longer battery life and supports wireless charging, which might be more convenient. Both models are sweatproof and have active noise canceling, but if call quality and a more immersive listening experience are important to you, the additional cost for the Outlier Pro may be justified.

"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."
