If sound quality is your top priority, the Skullcandy Dime 2 tends to perform better and is also more budget-friendly. However, if you prefer longer battery life and the convenience of wireless charging, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds might be the right pick for you, despite being pricier. Both are similar in comfort and have built-in microphones, but neither supports virtual surround sound. The Raycon earbuds are sweatproof, making them a potential option for exercise, while the Skullcandy earbuds are not only sweatproof but also dustproof. Keep in mind, neither has active noise cancelling. Give Feedback

Wired

Parker Hall | January 2023
"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."

Sound Guys

Jasper Lastoria | March 2022
"With the low price, it’s a low-risk investment. The Dime 2 is a decent set of backup buds for those times when you don’t want to risk your more upscale buds. If it weren’t for the lackluster battery life, I’d say everyone should have a pair as a spare for music."
