The Marshall Major IV headphones provide a better overall sound quality and are suitable for long listening sessions, as they score high on comfort and have a significantly longer battery life. They also feature a detachable cable, making them versatile for both wireless and wired listening. On the other hand, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are more compact and portable, offer better exercise suitability and have wireless charging, which may be more convenient. The Raycons are also sweatproof, making them a better choice for active users, although they do not match the sound quality of the Marshalls. Give Feedback

"The Marshall Major IV shares quite a bit in common with its predecessor, but a key upgrade appears to be softer ear cushions. They make upgrading worth it. As a set of basic wired or wireless headphones the Major IV ticks most boxes by remaining easy to use, and fairly comfortable (at least, as on-ear headphones go)."
"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."
