If you're looking for a budget-friendly option for exercising or travel, the Jlab Go Air Sport earbuds are wireless, sweatproof, and offer good comfort with secure ear hooks, making them suitable for movement-intensive activities. They also have a very good mic quality which is convenient for calls. However, they have poor overall sound quality, which might not be ideal for high-fidelity music listening or immersive gaming. In contrast, the Razer Kraken V3 headphones provide better sound quality and are equipped with a boom mic and virtual surround sound, enhancing gaming and TV experiences. They're wired, which may limit mobility but offers a stable connection, and while they're not optimized for exercise or outdoor use, they excel in home entertainment. They are more expensive than the Jlab Go Air Sport, so your choice should balance cost against your primary use case. 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."

"This Razer Kraken V3 is a great headset for gamers who want comfort, surround sound, and software customization for a reasonable price. It's primarily a headset for PC gamers since THX Spatial audio is only supported on Windows. If you want something more multifaceted for multiple systems, this won't be an ideal headset for you. Luckily, there are plenty of competent Kraken V3 alternatives available to you."
