If price is a significant factor for you, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS would be a cost-effective choice and still offers good comfort, sound for music and TV, and good built quality. However, if you're looking for the best sound quality for a premium experience, the Sennheiser IE600 stands out, particularly with its superior performance for music and a very comfortable fit. Both earbuds are wired and suitable for stationary use, but if having a detachable cable and the potential for customization matters to you, the Sennheiser has these features. Neither have noise cancelling or wireless capabilities, so if you exercise, travel, or need to block out noise, they may not be the best fit. The Creative Labs earbuds have integrated controls, while the Sennheisers do not, yet the Sennheisers are lighter, which could be a factor for comfort during extended use. 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."
