For exercise or outdoor use, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are sweatproof and lightweight, making them a better choice; however, if you're looking for something to wear during long travel sessions, the JBL 510BT headphones with active noise cancelling and a longer battery life could be more suitable. In terms of sound, the JBL 510BT has a better soundstage, while the Raycons provide a very comfortable fit. For those who prioritize call quality and durability, the Raycons excel, but keep in mind the JBLs are reportedly better built for controlling music playback. Lastly, consider the JBLs if you want on-ear convenience with a foldable design, which the Raycons lack, but expect a less secure fit during high-movement activities compared to the more secure fit of the Raycons.

"The JBL Tune 510BT is affordable and compact, making it a great companion for a commute, so long as you don't need active noise canceling. If you wear glasses or have ear piercings, the on-ear design might not be comfortable, since the ear cups will squish your ears."
"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."
