If you're on a budget and need earbuds for activities like exercising or traveling, Jlab Go Air Sport's sweat and dust resistance, secure ear hooks, and very good comfort may suit you. However, for a more immersive audio experience, especially during air travel due to their excellent noise isolation, and longer battery life, consider the Soundcore Space Q45 headphones. The Soundcore also offers better overall sound quality, an app equalizer for sound customization, and active noise cancelling, but they're more expensive and may not be as easy to carry around due to their size.

PC Mag
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."

"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
