If you prioritize wireless convenience and activities like exercise or travel, the Jlab Go Air Sport earbuds are sweatproof and come with ear hooks for secure fit, making them better suited for movement. They also have active noise cancelling to reduce background noises. However, if sound quality, especially for gaming and music, is important, then the KZ ZSN Pro with its excellent build and very good sound quality might be more appealing, plus they have a detachable cable which is great for durability. The Jlab has a better battery life, but the KZ ZSN Pro, being wired, does not rely on battery at all. The Jlab earbuds are slightly heavier, so for long listening sessions, the KZ might be more comfortable. Choose Jlab if you need wireless features and frequently move around, or KZ if audio fidelity and stationary use are your priorities. Give Feedback

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."

"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."
