If superior sound quality for music and gaming is your priority, the JBL Tune Flex would be your choice, with better performance in these areas. They also offer a Low Latency Mode, which is useful for gaming and watching videos, and have active noise cancelling for a quieter listening environment, especially during air travel or in noisy locations. However, they lack wireless charging and their microphone quality is not as robust. The Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are more compact, with a better comfort rating, longer battery life, and they include wireless charging. They might not deliver as immersive an experience for music or gaming but could be more convenient for everyday use with extended time away from chargers. Both options are sweatproof and have similar app equalizer features for sound customization. Give Feedback

"JBL is offering a similar design and arguably better resolution than the more expensive AirPods 3rd Generation. Add to that a comfortable and versatile fit, an equalizer and pretty decent ANC, and you’ve got a quality wireless earphone. I would have loved longer battery life and more crystal calls, but for the price, you can’t complain. A solid deal overall."
"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."
