If you're seeking superior sound quality and are willing to invest more, the Focal Bathys should be your choice, boasting better overall sound and excellent scores for listening to music, TV, and video. They also feature active noise cancelling for a more immersive experience and offer both wired and wireless connectivity. However, they are less portable due to their size, and not ideal for exercise. On the other hand, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are much less expensive and offer good comfort, decent sound for music, and are more suitable for use during exercise given their smaller size, sweatproof feature, and wireless design. They are more portable, though they lack active noise cancelling and have lower overall sound quality compared to the Focal Bathys. If budget and versatility for active use are your priorities, Raycon may be the better option. Give Feedback

"As much as I hesitate to recommend a headphone that sells for $800 USD, if you’re looking for the best sound quality you can find in the ANC space: it’s the Focal Bathys."

Parker Hall | January 2023
"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."
