If your primary use is for workouts or anything involving a lot of movement, the Jlab Go Air Sport earbuds would be a better fit due to their sweatproof certification and secure fit with ear hooks. However, for an emphasis on sound quality, particularly music listening at home or on the go, the Koss KSC75 headphones may offer a more satisfying experience, although they lack the modern convenience of wireless connectivity and have an open design that doesn't isolate noise well. The Jlab earbuds are better for calls given their higher mic quality and are suitably portable with decent battery life, while the Koss headphones are a lightweight and potentially more comfortable option for longer listening sessions. If active noise canceling and wireless features are less critical and you're looking for a budget-friendly option with very good sound, Koss KSC75 might be the choice, despite being not as robust in build quality as the Jlabs.

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."

"Let’s not insult the KSC75 by saying that it’s simply good for the price… because it’s far more than that. It basically has a monopoly at its asking price, and could still give modern budget headphones a run for their money 15 years after its release. The KSC75 is the world’s best not-headphone."
