If you're looking for the utmost portability and the ability to exercise with your audio gear, the JLab Go Air Pop earbuds are better as they are small, sweatproof, and deliver very good portability and use during exercise scores. They also offer a significantly lower price. However, if you're interested in better noise isolation and active noise cancelling for environments like air travel, and you don't mind a bulkier over-ear format, the Soundcore Space One headphones provide these features along with a foldable design and longer battery life, albeit at a higher price. The Soundcore also supports LDAC for higher-quality audio over Bluetooth which could enhance your listening experience if you have compatible devices. 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."

"The Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
