If you prioritize superior call and mic quality, as well as higher durability, the Bowers and Wilkins PI7 would be a better choice, and they also offer active noise cancelling that significantly reduces ambient noise. They support a variety of high-quality Bluetooth codecs including AptX Adaptive and AptX Low Latency, which ensures better sound quality and synchronization for video content and gaming. However, if budget is a concern and you're looking for something with a longer battery life and a comfortable fit, as well as sweat resistance for exercise, Raycon's The Everyday Earbuds are more affordable and may suit your everyday use better, although they lack active noise cancellation and the advanced codecs for higher sound quality and low latency.

How the Bowers and Wilkins PI7 and the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds compare to other earbuds and headphones
"The primary selling point of the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 is the charging case that can transmit audio from any analog source to the earbuds. If you have a very specific and clear need for that feature, then the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 is for you."
"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."
