If you prioritize audio quality and active noise cancelling for a quieter listening experience, Bowers and Wilkins Pi7 S2 would be a better choice despite the higher price. However, if you're looking for something more affordable with a longer battery life that also offers decent sound and comfort, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds could be a suitable option. The Pi7 S2 features lossless codec support for higher-quality audio and is optimized for both Android and Apple devices, whereas the Raycon earbuds provide a more basic feature set without these enhancements. Keep in mind that the Pi7 S2 may be more suited for travel and has a higher build quality, which might justify the cost difference for some users. Give Feedback

How the Bowers and Wilkins Pi7 S2 and the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds compare to other earbuds and headphones
"While the overall sound quality is great, these earbuds fall short in terms of battery life, customization and ANC performance. Bowers & Wilkins’ ability to consistently deliver pristine sound isn’t enough to make up for what the Pi7 S2 lacks, which is unfortunately quite a bit."
"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."
