If you are looking for an immersive audio experience and do not mind an in-ear design, the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless may be a good fit for you, and they are generally less expensive. However, if you prefer to remain aware of your surroundings, such as while exercising outdoors, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones can provide you with music while keeping your ears open. Bone conduction headphones typically have less bass response compared to traditional earbuds, but they offer a unique advantage in situational awareness. If a built-in microphone is crucial for calls or virtual meetings, ensure the model you choose has this feature. Give Feedback

"The Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."
