If you prefer wireless freedom for exercising or traveling, the Jlab Go Air Sport with its sweat and dustproof features along with very good comfort and build quality is suitable. However, they provide poor sound quality and may not be optimal for music lovers or gaming. In contrast, the KZ ZSN Pro offers a wired connection with better sound quality and is excellent for music listening. While less suitable for exercise due to the cable, they do feature detachable cables and can provide a more balanced audio experience with the purchase of additional cables. Choose the Jlab Go Air Sport for convenience in active contexts or the KZ ZSN Pro for a better listening experience in stationary settings. Give Feedback

"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."
"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."
