If you're on a budget and primarily need earbuds for wired listening with fair sound quality, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS may be a suitable choice, particularly if you want durable build quality and don't need wireless capabilities. However, if wireless convenience is important to you, along with better mic quality for calls and meetings, a more secure fit for exercising, and added features like sweatproof certification, active noise canceling, and an app for equalizer and controls customization, the Jabra Elite 4 is preferable despite its higher price. The Jabra Elite 4 also offers very good sound quality which is an advantage for a variety of audio content, but it falls short for gaming due to latency issues. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"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."

"The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap"
