Considering your two options, if you're on a tight budget and need earbuds for activities like exercising or frequent travel where portability and sweat resistance are important, the Jlab Go Air Sport would suit you. They are stemless, have a secure fit with ear hooks, and are rated good for use during exercise and air travel. However, they tend to have a poorer overall sound quality. On the other hand, if you prioritize better sound quality, comfort, and active noise cancelling for an immersive experience, especially in noisy environments, and don't mind spending a bit more, then the Soundcore Space One might be the right choice. The Soundcore also has the advantage of longer battery life, app customization options, and is foldable, making them still pretty portable, despite being larger over-ear headphones. Both products have their strengths, so your choice should align with what's more critical for your use: the better sound and noise cancellation of Soundcore Space One or the workout-friendly features and lower price of the Jlab Go Air Sport.

"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."

"The Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
