Considering your options, if you are on a tight budget and looking for the most affordable choice, the Jlab Go Air Sport may appeal to you. However, if you can stretch your budget slightly, the Soundcore Life P3 offers notable advantages such as better overall sound quality and excellent noise isolation, which might be worthwhile for a more immersive audio experience. The P3 also features an app equalizer and controls customization for a more personalized listening experience, as well as active noise canceling for minimizing ambient noise. Both are suitable for exercise and have similar battery life, but the Soundcore Life P3 supports wireless charging, making it more convenient to power up. If call quality is important to you, note that the Jlab has a higher mic quality score. Choose the Jlab Go Air Sport if cost and call quality are your primary concerns, or opt for the Soundcore Life P3 if you prioritize sound and customizable features. 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."
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
