The "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) offers higher sound quality, a better soundstage, and low latency mode which makes it more suitable for gaming and watching TV. They also come with active noise canceling, which is great for air travel and environments with lots of background noise. The Raycon The Everyday Earbuds, on the other hand, are more comfortable and significantly less expensive while still offering good build quality and built-in controls. If budget is a concern and you mostly listen to music or make calls, the Raycons are a good choice. For a premium audio experience and noise cancellation, consider the "Nothing" Ear (2) despite the higher price. Give Feedback

Jasper Lastoria | March 2023
"For the price the Nothing Ear (2) is pretty good. It fits well, and the IP54 rating (and IP55 with case) is durable enough for daily life. Most of its unique features are found in the Nothing X app, such as personalized frequency responses, and personalized, adjustable ANC."

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."
