If you prefer earbuds that are wireless and have modern features like a microphone for calls, sweatproof certification, and an app for customization, the Baseus Bowie MA10 would suit you. They are also more suited for exercise and have active noise cancelling, which can be beneficial during air travel. However, for a richer audio experience with very good overall sound quality and an open design, which is preferable for a natural soundstage, the Koss KSC75 headphones may be a better option, especially if you're on a tight budget. Keep in mind, the Koss KSC75 need to be connected with a cable and lack a microphone 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."

"Let’s not insult the KSC75 by saying that it’s simply good for the price… because it’s far more than that. It basically has a monopoly at its asking price, and could still give modern budget headphones a run for their money 15 years after its release. The KSC75 is the world’s best not-headphone."
