If you're on a budget and mainly listen to music or podcasts during exercise or travel, the Baseus Bowie MA10 could be suitable, providing good comfort and very good battery life without the need for wireless charging. However, for better overall sound quality, durability, and an option that is optimized for both Android and Apple devices, the Jaybird Vista 2 is preferable, though at a higher price. The Vista 2 also offers active noise cancelling and sweatproof and dustproof certification, making them ideal for outdoor and fitness activities, along with a better calls and meetings experience. If you prioritize sound isolation and plan to use earbuds in noisy environments, consider the Vista's advantage in noise isolation and active noise cancelling. 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."

"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
