If you prioritize portability and the ability to use them during exercise, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are wireless and sweatproof, suitable for an active lifestyle. However, for gaming and calls, the Razer Kraken, with its higher microphone quality, might be better if you don't mind the larger over-ear form and wired connection. Both offer similar overall sound quality for music, but if you often watch TV or videos, the Kraken's superior soundstage could be more immersive. Neither offers active noise cancelling, so take into account if you need to block out ambient noise when choosing. Give Feedback

"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."
"Generally the Kraken is a very comfortable headset and there’s nothing that really identifies it as anything else. All in, the Kraken performed exactly as I’d expect a premium, designated gaming headset to perform: performing well in game audio, though not quite with the same quality of those headsets further up the price scale."
