If you prioritize saving money and prefer a wired connection for listening to music and calls, choose the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS as they are budget-friendly and offer good comfort, mic, and build quality. However, if you are willing to spend more for wireless versatility, active noise cancelling, and significantly better battery life, go for the Soundcore Space One. The Soundcore also supports LDAC for higher-quality audio over Bluetooth and has an app equalizer, but they fall short on call quality and are not recommended for gaming or TV watching due to poor performance in that area.

"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 Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
