If you prioritize call quality, sweatproof certification, and longer battery life within the earbuds themselves for extended use during workouts or on the go, the Baseus Bowie MA10 would suit you well. However, if you prefer better overall sound quality, a more comfortable fit during calls, or meetings, and a longer total battery life when including the charging case, the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless would be a better choice. For those frequently on calls or in meetings and looking for a snug fit, the JBL offers good performance as well. Neither model is the best for music, gaming, or TV, but the JBL's slightly higher overall sound quality could make it more pleasurable for casual listening. 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."

"The Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."
