The Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are more budget-friendly, making them a solid choice for casual listening and use during exercise due to their wireless design and sweatproof feature. However, their sound quality and noise isolation are just average, and they may not be the best for focused listening sessions, like during air travel. On the other hand, the Rode NTH-100M headphones offer superior sound and mic quality, making them excellent for calls, meetings, and professional work, but they are wired and less portable. If budget is a concern and convenience is key, the Raycons serve well; for top-notch audio and mic performance, consider the Rodes despite the higher cost. 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."
"The NTH-100M is a closed-back headset aimed at professional audiophiles—streamers, podcasters and content creators included—looking for masterful audio and a detachable 'broadcast-grade' microphone."
