If you're looking for wireless convenience and use your earbuds primarily for casual music listening, commuting, or exercise, the JLab Go Air Pop would be suitable as they offer good music quality, are sweatproof, and have an excellent portability score due to their small size and stemless design. They also provide very good noise isolation and a superior battery life which is beneficial for travel. However, if you're interested in wired earbuds with a focus on sound quality for activities like gaming and watching TV, where a wider soundstage and low latency are important, the KZ ZSN Pro with a mic is a better option, as they provide very good gaming and TV scores, and include a detachable cable and dynamic driver for a more immersive experience. Keep in mind that the KZ ZSN Pro might not be as convenient for exercise due to the lack of sweatproof certification and their larger size. Give Feedback

"The JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
