Consider the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds if you prioritize comfort and portability; these are also suitable for exercise due to being sweatproof. They have a slightly better overall sound quality, which contributes to a more satisfying music listening experience. However, if you often attend calls or have meetings, you may appreciate the Shokz OpenMove's higher microphone quality. Shokz OpenMove headphones also offer an open design through bone conduction, making them safer for outdoor activities as you can remain aware of your surroundings. If noise isolation is important, Raycon would be the better choice, but for air travel or environments where ambient sound may be intrusive, the noise isolation of the Shokz OpenMove may not suffice.

"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 Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
