If you prioritize sound quality and traditional earbud design for music, the Baseus Bowie MA10 may be better for you despite a slightly higher price; they provide dynamic drivers and AAC codec support which improve audio reproduction. However, their noise isolation and call quality are just fair and use during exercise is rated very good. In contrast, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones provide an open design with bone conduction technology which might be less immersive in sound but allows for situational awareness, making them suitable for outdoor activities, although they're not the best for air travel or noise isolation. They are optimized for use during exercise and are sweat and dustproof certified. Choose the Baseus Bowie MA10 for better music experience and call quality, or the Youthwhisper for awareness and activity use. 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."

"If you're looking for a pair of headphones that can be worn while running or cycling, these Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are a great alternative to more expensive models. They're lightweight and compact, so they won't get in the way when wearing them while exercising.
