If affordability is a priority and you prefer a wired connection with a focus on music and calls, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS would be suitable. It offers better overall sound quality, good comfort, and excellent build quality, but lacks wireless capability and active noise cancelling. Alternatively, if you engage in outdoor activities or exercise, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones would be better with their sweatproof, dustproof certification, and open design allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings, although they compromise on sound quality and noise isolation. They're also wireless, which is convenient during movement but means you'll have to manage battery life. Give Feedback

"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."
