If durability, exercise readiness, and a secure fit are high priorities for you and you're willing to invest more, the Jaybird Vista 2 would be a better choice as they are sweatproof, dustproof, and come with silicone fins for added stability. They also have active noise cancelling for a more isolated listening experience and an integrated mic that performs well for calls. On the other hand, if budget is a major concern and you're looking for decent performance for daily tasks, the JLab Go Air Pop might serve you well at a fraction of the cost, although they compromise on some premium features like sweat resistance and active noise cancellation.

"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."

"The JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."
