If you prefer wireless convenience and portability with a more discreet earbud design, suitable for exercise and casual use, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds would suit you. However, if you prioritize better overall sound quality and microphone performance perfect for calls, meetings, and gaming, as well as a more comfortable over-ear fit, the Turtle Beach Recon 70 is a better option, and it comes at a lower price. Keep in mind, the Raycon earbuds are suitable for travel and have a sweatproof feature, but the Turtle Beach headphones offer superior performance for critical listening and voice communication needs.

"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."
"There aren’t many considerations to make here. The Turtle Beach Recon 70 sounds decent, offers solid chat audio, feels good to wear over long periods, and it works everywhere. If you’re in the market for a simple plug-and-play option, you could do a whole lot worse (and spend a whole lot more money). Regardless, if getting something cheap that works well is the only thing you care about, this is a great option."
