If budget is a key concern and you're looking for earbuds well-suited for exercise and outdoor activities, the Jlab Go Air Sport may be the right choice; they are sweatproof and come with ear hooks for stability. However, if you prioritize noise cancellation for air travel or better build quality, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC headphones are preferable, despite being more expensive. They also offer a much longer battery life. Both options are not ideal for high-quality music listening or for gaming and TV due to low sound quality and performance in those areas. Give Feedback

PC Mag
Tim Gideon | April 2022
"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
