If you prefer wireless convenience and use your earbuds for exercise or travel, the Baseus Bowie MA10 would be a better choice, as they are sweatproof and have active noise cancelling which helps reduce ambient noise. They are also optimized for both Android and Apple devices and offer integrated mic quality which could be beneficial for calls. On the other hand, if you are looking for earbuds mainly for music listening at home or if you're on a tighter budget, the wired KZ ZSN Pro X may suit you better. They offer good sound quality and their cable is detachable, which can be handy if it needs replacing. However, they lack wireless capabilities, sweatproof certification, and active noise cancelling.

Simon Cohen | August 2023
"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."

Jasper Lastoria | April 2023
"The KZ ZSN PRO X offers superb sound for very little money, like under $30 USD. It has some rough edges with a plastic seam on the cable that can rub on your ear, and the bud is a bit large. The tech isn't cutting edge, but new doesn't always equal better. You should try it."
