If you prioritize affordability and use during exercise or air travel with modest battery life, the Baseus Bowie MA10 earbuds are suitable as they are sweatproof, have a secure fit, and possess active noise canceling. However, their overall sound quality is only fair, and they may not be the best for calls, music, or gaming. On the other hand, the JLab Go Work Wireless headphones offer excellent mic and build quality, making them better for calls and meetings. These are wired and wireless, with a detachable cable, which provides flexibility, but they have poor soundstage and are less portable, making them less ideal for travel or exercise. Give Feedback

Simon Cohen | August 2023
"Even if the Bowie MA10 only had some of the features and performance they offer at double the price, they’d be a helluva good value. But given that they far exceed any other earbuds at this price, if you’re looking for an ultra-affordable set of wireless earbuds and you don’t mind their big charging case, you just can’t go wrong."

Maike Paeßens | 2021
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
