If you're on a budget and prefer a wired connection with good mic and sound quality for casual music listening and calls, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS is suitable. However, if you're willing to spend more for wireless functionality with longer battery life, very good comfort, and excellent mic quality that's beneficial for frequent calls and meetings, opt for the JLab JBuds Work Wireless. The JLab's over-ear design and active noise canceling make them fit for office work and traveling, despite their larger size and poorer portability. Neither supports low-latency applications, so they may not be optimal for gaming or watching TV. Give Feedback

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 JLab JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
