If you're on a budget and prioritize wired connectivity with a fair sound quality for music and calls, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS is suitable, especially if you prefer a light, in-ear form with a detachable cable, and don't need advanced features like an equalizer app or sweatproof certification. However, if you can invest a bit more, desire very good sound quality, the convenience of wireless technology, and features such as sweat and dustproofing for exercise, active noise canceling for travel, an app to customize controls, and a secure fit with silicone fins, the Jaybird Vista 2 might be the better choice despite lacking low latency for gaming and a longer battery life for extended use without charging.

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."

Chase Bernath | September 2022
"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
