If you prioritize a high-quality sound experience and need earbuds suitable for exercise with features like sweat and dust resistance and active noise canceling, the Jaybird Vista 2 is suited for you, despite their higher price. However, if you're looking for comfortable, budget-friendly headphones with a superior microphone for calls and long battery life, and you don't mind some trade-off in noise isolation and the lack of sweat resistance or active noise canceling, then the JLab Go Work Wireless would be a better fit. Keep in mind, the JLab also offers the versatility of a wired connection, which the Jaybird does not. Give Feedback

Chase Bernath | September 2022
"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."

"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
