If you prioritize wireless convenience and are willing to pay a bit more, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds offer a good level of comfort, a sweatproof design suitable for exercise, and a portable form factor with a charging case that supports wireless charging. They also have integrated controls, and a built-in microphone, although the mic and noise isolation are only of fair quality. On the other hand, the Sony MDR-ZX110 headphones are a budget-friendly wired option with no frills — no microphone or built-in controls — and with poorer comfort. They are foldable for easy transport, but don't come with the portability and ease of use that wireless earbuds offer. If you're looking for something to use primarily for gaming or TV, neither option is optimal due to latency issues. 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."

"My opinion about Sony MDR ZX110 is they are the best budget headphones of Sony with top-class sound. Clear vocals, great bass, and balanced sound with low sound distortion. The treble could be sharper, but it's ok. 30 mm neodymium dynamic drivers give clear and precise audio, and an inline remote with a mic give decent call quality. Closed-Back Design also helps to improve sound performance."
