If you're on a budget and looking for earbuds suitable for exercise with satisfactory microphone quality, the Baseus Bowie MA10 might be for you, though the sound quality for music and media is not as strong. Conversely, if you're willing to invest in a premium audio experience with excellent sound and active noise cancelling for different contexts like commuting and office work, and don't mind spending more, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus headphones would be a better choice. The Sennheiser's over-ear design provides better comfort for longer sessions, though it might not be as suitable for high-intensity workouts as the Baseus. 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."
