If you prioritize wired connection and sound quality for a mix of uses including music, calls, and gaming, consider the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS. They offer good comfort, excellent build quality but lack wireless capability, active noise cancelling, and features like sweatproof certification, making them less ideal for exercise or air travel. Conversely, if wireless convenience, exercise suitability, and call quality are more important to you, Jlab Go Air Sport may be the better choice; they're sweatproof, have ear hooks for secure fit, but provide poorer sound quality, which might not be as satisfying for music enthusiasts.

"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."
"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
