If you're on a tight budget and primarily need earbuds for exercise or travel, the Baseus Bowie MA10 would be a sensible choice, as they offer good comfort, are sweatproof, and provide fair noise isolation. However, their overall sound and call quality are not as good. On the other hand, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds, while more expensive, provide better overall sound quality and a longer battery life, which is beneficial for extended use, and they come with wireless charging, adding convenience. Both options have good build quality, but if mic quality for calls is important, neither may be suitable as they both score low in that aspect. 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."
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
