The Powerbeats Pro also have a higher score for built-in controls, which might be important if you like to adjust settings on the go. For exercise use, both score similarly well, but the Powerbeats Pro have ear hooks for a secure fit during intense workouts. However, if battery life is crucial, both provide similar performance.

How the Beats Powerbeats Pro and the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds compare to other earbuds and headphones
"Sweat resistance, actual noise isolation, and a secure fit in your ears make these the true wireless earphones you want in Apple-land. Android users may find other options they like better, as these only support AAC."
"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."
