If you prioritize sound quality and features like active noise cancelling (ANC), wireless charging, and a smart charging case with an integrated touch display, the JBL Live Beam 3 may be worth the higher price. They're also suitable for exercise and air travel, with sweatproof and dustproof certifications. However, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are more affordable and still offer good comfort, decent sound for TV and gaming, as well as water resistance and a smaller form factor for portability. If budget is a constraint and you don't need the extra features, Raycon might be the better choice for you. Give Feedback

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."
