For a better audio experience, especially for music, Raycon The Everyday Earbuds would be the preferred choice as they usually offer better sound quality and comfort. However, if budget is a concern, Steelseries TUSQ, while less expensive, may suit your needs for basic listening and gaming, as they often have decent sound and a design tailored for gaming with a built-in microphone. If you're gaming or on a call, that microphone feature is something to consider. Remember that the higher price of Raycon might be due to brand prestige or additional features like longer battery life or a more sleek design. Consider what aspects—sound quality, comfort, price, or gaming features—are most important to you. 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."

"The SteelSeries Arctis Tusq is a great headset for those on a more modest budget. You can use it for gaming or music, and I daresay it's also great for Zoom meetings when you don't want to be wearing on-ear or over-ear headphones."
