If you prioritize wireless convenience and use during exercise, consider the Jlab Go Air Sport as they are sweatproof, have ear hooks for secure fit, and offer very good portability with decent battery life. On the other hand, if sound quality for music and a wired connection are more important to you, and you don't mind having a cable, the KZ ZSN Pro X could be a better choice, as they generally offer good sound quality and come with a detachable cable, but they lack wireless functionality and are not optimized for exercise. Neither are ideal for high-quality calls or gaming due to their poor microphone quality and lack of low latency features. 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."

"The KZ ZSN PRO X offers superb sound for very little money, like under $30 USD. It has some rough edges with a plastic seam on the cable that can rub on your ear, and the bud is a bit large. The tech isn't cutting edge, but new doesn't always equal better. You should try it."
