If affordability and exercise are your top priorities, the Jlab Go Air Sport earbuds might be better because they are slightly less expensive and have a good score for use during exercise, along with being sweat and dustproof. They also have a slightly longer battery life. However, if you prefer open-type headphones that allow you to remain aware of your surroundings, which can be crucial for outdoor activities, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are suitable, though they may not isolate sound as well. Neither model excels in sound quality, so if you're looking for high-quality audio for music and video, you may want to consider other options. 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."
"If you're looking for a pair of headphones that can be worn while running or cycling, these Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are a great alternative to more expensive models. They're lightweight and compact, so they won't get in the way when wearing them while exercising. Plus, they have a built-in microphone so you can take calls during your workout without having to stop and fumble with your phone. The sound quality is great for this style of headphones, and it has many other cool features."
