If you're on a budget and need wired earbuds with a focus on durability and good microphone quality for calls, the Aurvana Trio LS could be a fit. They're suited for TV and gaming as well but don't expect superior sound isolation. However, if you can stretch your budget, the Outlier Pro offers wireless convenience, better noise isolation for air travel, a longer battery life, and features like sweat-proof certification and wireless charging, making them more versatile for exercise and daily commute. The sound quality is also better in the Outlier Pro, especially for music and calls. Give Feedback

"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."
