If you prioritize convenience and use during exercise, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are sweatproof and have a compact size, which is great for mobility and fitness activities. However, if you’re looking for better sound quality and noise isolation, especially for air travel or busy environments, the Skullcandy Hesh ANC headphones offer superior noise cancellation and a more immersive audio experience. The Earbuds are more affordable, but the Skullcandy has added benefits like over-ear comfort, higher overall sound quality, and a detachable cable for versatile use. Keep in mind that Skullcandy's bulkier design may not be as easy to carry around. Both options have built-in controls and microphones, but the Skullcandy has a slightly better mic, which might be useful for calls. 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."
"Skullcandy’s Hesh ANC are compact, wireless over-ears for everyday use that are tuned for bass and designed to suppress or amplify ambient noise as required. In addition to Bluetooth 5.0, optional tracking via the Tile app is supported so that these headphones can be found if they get lost."
