If you prioritize comfort and the convenience of wireless connectivity, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds might be the better choice as they are known for a comfortable fit and are truly wireless. They are also more suitable for exercise due to their sweatproof certification and their in-ear design, which tends to be more secure during physical activities. However, if you're looking for a more robust sound quality for music listening and a sturdy build, the Beats EP may be preferable, although they are wired headphones and not as portable as earbuds. Neither have active noise cancelling, so if that's a feature you need for commuting or air travel, you may want to consider other options. The Beats EP, being on-ear headphones, might provide a better soundstage for an immersive listening experience but could become uncomfortable over long periods. Keep in mind that the Beats EP may not be as suitable for extended calls or gaming due to their lower scores in those areas. Give Feedback

Parker Hall | January 2023
"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."
