If budget is your primary concern, the KZ ZSN Pro X would save you money while still offering good overall sound quality, especially in music listening. They are also a more portable choice, suitable for travel or exercise, with a detachable cable adding to their durability. However, if you prefer headphones over earbuds, desire active noise cancelling for better focus and audio experience in noisy environments, or appreciate wireless convenience and longer battery life, the Soundcore Space Q45 may be worth the extra cost. Additionally, the Q45's app allows for equalizer and audio control customization, which is absent in the ZSN Pro X. Keep in mind, while the ZSN Pro X earbuds perform well for music, their lack of certain wireless features and poorer mic quality might not be ideal for gaming or calls. Give Feedback

"The KZ ZSN PRO X offers superb sound for very little money, like under $30 USD. It has some rough edges with a plastic seam on the cable that can rub on your ear, and the bud is a bit large. The tech isn't cutting edge, but new doesn't always equal better. You should try it."

"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."
