If you prioritize noise isolation and a more immersive audio experience, consider the Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds, known for their superior sound quality and active noise cancelling, which is especially beneficial for air travel. However, they're bulkier and more expensive, and they have a shorter battery life compared to the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds. The Raycons, on the other hand, are more affordable, offer longer battery life, and include wireless charging, but they don't have active noise cancelling and their overall sound quality isn't as high as the Bose. If you're looking for an everyday use pair that's easy on the wallet, with decent sound and great battery life, the Raycon could be for you. Give Feedback

Sound Guys

Lily Katz | March 2023
"The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds is a great do-it-all option for anyone, so long as you can afford it. This is a great alternative to the Apple AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM4. You can choose the degree of noise canceling, and enjoy premium features like automatic ear-detection. These earbuds merit an IPX4 rating, making them a fine workout companion."

Wired

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."
