For daily casual use and exercising with a tight budget, the JLab Go Air Pop may suffice as they're budget-friendly, have a longer battery life, are sweatproof, and very portable. However, if you're looking for higher overall sound and build quality, better comfort, advanced features like active noise cancelling and app support with customizable controls, and don't mind spending more, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 would be a better fit. Keep in mind, the Sennheisers are optimized for both Android and Apple, and offer ear detection features which JLab lacks, providing a more seamless user experience. 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."
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
