The "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick has a stemmed design which some find more comfortable and it has a slightly higher overall sound quality, featuring a low latency mode which is desirable if you like watching videos or gaming. The downside is it offers less battery life. In contrast, The Raycon Everyday Earbuds feature a longer battery life and a closed design which can provide better noise isolation. However, the absence of low latency mode might not make them ideal for watching videos or gaming. They are stemless, which some prefer for aesthetics or comfort. Choose based on your prioritization of sound experience, battery life, and design preference. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Jasper Lastoria | December 2022
"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."

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."
