If you're on a budget and prefer a less expensive option, Skullcandy Dime could be suitable, but you'll compromise on battery life and comfort. Jlab Go Air Sport, although more expensive, offers better comfort, battery life, and is sweatproof, which makes it a better choice for exercise and outdoor activities. Both have similar audio qualities, but if microphone quality is a priority for you during calls or meetings, the Jlab might be the better bet despite the higher cost. Neither is particularly well-suited for immersive music listening, gaming, or TV due to their poor soundstage and overall sound quality. 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."

"For $25, the Skullcandy Dime True Wireless Earbuds deliver a powerful, balanced, rich, and bright sound signature. There’s really not much else to talk about, but the audio is better than you would expect for the price."
