If you prioritize portability, wireless convenience, and exercise use, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds may be more appealing since they are truly wireless earbuds with good sweat resistance, suitable for active lifestyles, and they have a longer battery life, even supporting wireless charging. However, if you value sound quality over wireless convenience, prefer headphones over earbuds, and don't mind a wired connection, the Koss Porta Pro headphones offer a higher sound quality and an open design for a more spacious sound. They are significantly less expensive but are not as suitable for exercise and have no microphone, so they're less ideal for calls. Give Feedback

"It’s clear to see why these have been such a popular choice amongst listeners for nearly four decades. It’s a charming pair of headphones that delivers a truly enjoyable listening experience and one that I think punches well above its weight."

Parker Hall | January 2023
"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."
