If you're on a budget and prefer wired listening, the KZ ZSN Pro is the more affordable pick with excellent build quality and good overall sound. It's suitable for home use and if you enjoy customizable cables for balanced audio. However, for active lifestyles or frequent calls, the Baseus Bowie MA10 provides wireless convenience, very good microphone quality, and is sweatproof, which makes them suitable for exercise. They also have a longer battery life for extended use and feature active noise cancelling for better noise isolation, advantages you won't find in the KZ ZSN Pro, but at a higher price. 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."

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
