If you're on a budget, the Jlab Go Air Sport earbuds are less expensive and offer very good comfort, mic quality, and are suited for exercise and air travel due to their sweatproof and dustproof features. However, overall sound quality is poor, and they may not be the best for immersive listening or gaming. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, while pricier, provide very good to excellent ratings in sound quality, noise isolation, build quality, and have additional features such as a supporting app with equalizer, wireless charging, and virtual surround sound, enhancing music, calls, gaming, and TV experiences. If you prioritize audio performance and additional smart features and can afford them, the Samsung option might serve you better. 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."

"Consider the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro as your next pair of buds for its excellent active noise canceling (ANC) of low frequencies and comfortable fit. For Samsung users, the integration with your devices is handy and good for productivity."
