If you prioritize sound quality and use during exercise, the Creative Labs Outlier Air V3 would suit you well, plus it's more budget-friendly. However, if you value comfort and are planning to use your earbuds for calls and meetings, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds could be a better pick despite being more expensive. The Outlier Air V3 has better build quality and is sweatproof, which is ideal for workouts, but the Everyday Earbuds have a slight edge in gaming and TV/video watching due to better latency performance. Neither option supports active noise cancelling, so both provide the same level of noise isolation. Give Feedback

Trusted Reviews
Kob Monney | July 2022
"The V3 present the best version of the Outlier Air series yet. The new features such as Active Noise Reduction and Ambient mode are integrated well; the performance of both is as good as you’ll get below £100. The design is less bulky and more comfortable thanks to being smaller and lighter, and the Outlier Air V3 eke out more clarity, detail and definition from music."

"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
