If you're considering price and still want good quality sound, the Koss KSC75 can be a great value. They are wired clip-on style headphones with a reputation for exceptional sound performance relative to their cost; however, they do not offer the convenience of wireless connectivity. On the other hand, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are wireless, providing ease of use and freedom of movement, but this comes at a higher price point. For those who prioritize cable-free listening and features such as in-ear comfort and portability, Raycon may be preferable, but if audio quality per dollar is your priority and you don't mind the wire, Koss KSC75 could be the better choice.

"Let’s not insult the KSC75 by saying that it’s simply good for the price… because it’s far more than that. It basically has a monopoly at its asking price, and could still give modern budget headphones a run for their money 15 years after its release. The KSC75 is the world’s best not-headphone."
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
