For a wireless experience with earbuds suitable for exercise, the Raycon Everyday Earbuds offer sweatproof features and a convenient form factor. They have a decent battery life and offer wireless charging, making them good for users on the go. However, if you prioritize sound quality, especially while gaming or attending calls, and comfort for long listening sessions, the Sennheiser HD 400S headphones may be the preferable choice. They also come with a detachable cable which can be useful for wired connectivity. Do note, though, the Sennheisers are less portable and not suited for exercising or sweat-inducing activities. Consider what scenarios you'll most often use them in when making your decision. 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."
"Sennheiser has done it again. The HD 400S performs well beyond its price range and is one of the better budget model headphones I’ve tried. It has very few bells and whistles and offers a simple means of listening that still delivers amazing clarity and quality. If you need a good first pair of headphones or need something that you can take out of the house, then the HD 400S is definitely for you."
