If you exercise frequently or travel often, the Baseus Bowie MA10 might suit you as they're sweatproof and offer good portability and noise isolation for air travel. Despite being the lighter option on the wallet, they might not offer the best sound experience for music or calls. Conversely, the Soundcore Life P3 provides better overall sound quality, excellent noise isolation, and has a feature for wireless charging, which the Baseus lacks. However, although slightly more expensive, they're not as well-suited for exercise since they're not sweatproof and their battery case provides less additional charge compared to the Baseus.

"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."

"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
