The Grado GT220 is higher in price, offering superior sound quality and comfort which might appeal to audiophiles or those who prioritize audio fidelity in music listening. However, they lack gaming features and have delayed audio when used for watching TV or playing games. On the other hand, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds offer good sound and call quality with a comfortable fit at a more affordable price, but they also do not specialize in gaming and may have a slightly less robust sound compared to the Grado GT220. If cost is a significant factor and you need a general-use earbud, Raycon could be the ideal choice, but if you desire top-notch audio quality and can invest more, consider the Grado GT220.

Wired
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."
