If you prioritize versatility and use during exercise, the Jaybird Vista 2 are a suitable choice for a lower price, boasting a secure fit with higher scores for exercise use. They have better build quality, which can be beneficial for durability. On the other hand, the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) has an edge in sound quality and features such as low latency mode, which improves the experience for gaming and watching TV or videos. Additionally, the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) offers longer battery life in the case and supports LHDC codec for potentially better audio quality if you have compatible devices. Both are sweat and dustproof with active noise cancelling, but you should consider the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) for generally better sound and low latency, against the Jaybird Vista 2 for a better price and suitability for physical activities.

"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."

"For the price the Nothing Ear (2) is pretty good. It fits well, and the IP54 rating (and IP55 with case) is durable enough for daily life. Most of its unique features are found in the Nothing X app, such as personalized frequency responses, and personalized, adjustable ANC."
