If you're looking for better comfort, longer battery life including the case, and a focus on calls and meetings, then the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds might be more suitable, and they also offer wireless charging. However, if budget is a significant factor, the Moondrop Nekocake is considerably less expensive, offering good build quality and sound for the price, along with higher portability and noise isolation. The Nekocake is a sensible choice for listening to music and for use during air travel, while the Everyday Earbuds have an edge for gaming and watching TV due to better soundstage and lower latency.

"What sets the Nekocake apart from its competition at this price point is the Moondrop Link app that allows the user to change the tonal balance of the Nekocake. This makes sure that it’s versatile enough to suit different sonic preferences while allowing some customization of controls."

"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."
