If you prioritize wireless convenience and a secure fit during exercise, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds may suit you better, as they are built for activity and have wireless charging. However, if sound quality, especially in terms of soundstage, is more important to you and you don't mind a wired connection, the Sennheiser CX300S could be a better choice. Keep in mind, though, neither has active noise canceling, so if isolation from ambient noise is critical for you, you might want to consider other options. Additionally, the Sennheisers are generally less expensive, so if budget is a concern, they offer good value for their price point. Give Feedback

How the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds and the Sennheiser CX300S 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 offers impressive bang for your buck when it comes to the CX 300S. Built like a tank and sounding surprisingly good for such a budget-minded earphone, the CX 300S out-classes many of its would-be competitors. Functional but beautiful, it’s the perfect in-ear listening solution for anyone who wants to hear everything and look good doing it."
