If you prefer a classic design and tend to use your headphones in quiet environments, the Koss Porta Pro, with its on-ear open-back design, can provide better sound quality and a more natural soundstage but offers poor isolation from external noise. On the other hand, if you prioritize portability, battery life for wireless use, and noise isolation while commuting or in noisy settings, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds, which are closed-earbuds, would be a better choice. However, remember that while Raycon offers a more modern wireless experience and is suitable for exercise, Koss Porta Pro delivers a better experience for gaming and listening to music at home.

"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."
