If you prefer wireless convenience with a stemless design and active noise cancelling, the Baseus Bowie MA10 might be suitable, especially for exercise or air travel due to its sweatproof certification and better comfort for long durations. However, they are more expensive and not ideal for immersive gaming or TV due to lower sound quality. On the other hand, KZ ZSN Pro offers superior build quality and sound for music and gaming at a lower price, with a detachable cable and balanced armature driver type, but lacks wireless capability, app-based customization, and active noise cancelling, making them less versatile for on-the-go activities.

"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."
