If you prioritize having very good call quality, active noise canceling, and are okay with paying a bit more, the Jabra Elite 4 would suit you better. However, if you prefer earbuds optimized for a more active lifestyle with sweatproof certification, at a lower price, and don't mind sacrificing some sound quality, then the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds might be the better choice for you. Keep in mind that while the Jabra has an app with equalizer and customization features, the Raycon does not offer this, and the Jabra's longer battery life might be beneficial if you're often away from a charger.

How the Jabra Elite 4 and the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds compare to other earbuds and headphones
"The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap"
"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."
