The Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are a more affordable, wireless option suitable for exercise and have a decent sound for music and calls, though they may not match the superior sound quality of the Sennheiser 560S, which are better for an immersive music experience due to their open-back design but come at a higher cost and require a wire connection. If portability and wireless convenience are priorities, or if you frequently use earbuds for calls or workouts, the Raycons are a practical choice at a lower price point. However, for the best listening experience at home or in quiet environments where you can appreciate detailed audio, the Sennheisers are the better option despite their higher cost and lack of wireless capability.

How the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds and the Sennheiser 560S compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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."
"Sennheiser made a near perfect pair of studio monitors with the HD 560S. Flat bass response? Check. Neutral and uncolored midrange? Check. Extended treble with a bit of lower-treble emphasis to highlight mastering flaws? Check. Fairly easy to drive? Check. Good soundstage and imaging? Check, and check."
