and may be a suitable choice if you're on a tight budget. The Go Air Sport is designed for exercise with features like sweatproof certification and ear hooks for a secure fit, making it ideal for active users. It has a very good build and mic quality and is also great for air travel due to its portability. However, for overall sound quality, the Marshall Major IV stands out with an excellent rating, meaning if you prioritize listening experience, the Marshall might be your choice. The Major IV also has a much longer battery life and supports wireless charging, which can be convenient. It's important to note that the Marshall headphones may be more comfortable for extended periods, given their on-ear design and good comfort score, whereas earbuds could become uncomfortable over time. Neither option is ideal for gaming or watching TV due to poor scores in those areas. If you often make calls, the Marshall's excellent mic quality could be a significant advantage. The lack of sweatproof and dustproof features in the Marshall Major IV, however, would make them less suited for workouts compared to the Jlab Go Air Sport. 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 Marshall Major IV shares quite a bit in common with its predecessor, but a key upgrade appears to be softer ear cushions. They make upgrading worth it. As a set of basic wired or wireless headphones the Major IV ticks most boxes by remaining easy to use, and fairly comfortable (at least, as on-ear headphones go)."
