If price is a significant factor, the JBL Tune Buds are less expensive and offer very good noise isolation for air travel, along with a larger battery life in both the earbuds and the charging case. However, if comfort is a priority, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds score higher in that category and also have the convenience of wireless charging. For sound quality, both perform well for their price, but take into account that Raycons are not recommended for calls, meetings, or exercise. JBLs are not suited for gaming or TV either due to sound latency. Additionally, both lack an app equalizer for sound customization and virtual surround features. Give Feedback

"JBL’s Tune Buds stick with the company’s signature bass-heavy sound by default, but a quality in-app EQ lets you sculpt the audio to taste. These noise-cancelling true wireless earphones also mitigate environmental distractions fairly well for the price and offer good battery life. If you're specifically seeking bold, bass-tuned audio out of the box, the Tune Buds are worth a listen."
"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."
