If you prioritize sound quality and noise isolation for diverse environments, and don't mind spending more, the Creative Labs Outlier Pro could be the better choice. They offer very good mic quality, which is important for calls and meetings. However, they are not optimized for gaming or TV due to poor scores in those areas. On the other hand, if budget is a concern, and you need earbuds that are sweatproof with a secure fit for exercise, the Jlab Go Air Sport could suit you despite their overall lower sound quality and noise isolation. Keep in mind though, they offer less battery life and no wireless charging compared to the Outlier Pro. Give Feedback

Tim Gideon | April 2022
"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
