If you prioritize active noise cancelling for quiet listening environments like air travel, and prefer over-ear headphones that generally provide better comfort for extended periods, the JBL Live 770NC would be suitable. They also offer a built-in microphone, virtual surround sound, and a more robust build quality, but they are heavier and not as portable as earbuds. However, if you're looking for something more budget-friendly, with a sweatproof design for exercising, and more portable for on-the-go usage, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds would be a better fit. The Raycons also provide a good fit for gaming and TV, thanks to their lower latency. Keep in mind that the Raycons lack active noise cancelling and are not optimized for calls and meetings.

Wired

Parker Hall | January 2023
"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."
