If budget is a primary concern and you need earbuds more for exercise and outdoor activities, the Jlab Go Air Sport may suit you better, as they're less expensive and have features like sweatproof certification and secure ear hooks. However, for a better overall sound quality and build, and if you need wireless charging, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds would be preferable, albeit at a higher cost. Keep in mind that the Jlab's microphone and durability scores are higher, which may be important if you take a lot of calls or are tough on your gear. The Raycon earbuds have a smaller size which might be more comfortable for daily wear, and they support virtual surround sound, enhancing your listening experience for TV and gaming. 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."
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
