Philips USB-C Earbuds
Score: 76/100
JLab Go Air Pop+
Score: 73/100Rankings
Philips USB-C Earbuds Wired with Microphone deliver a wide 7-40 kHz Hi-Res audio range, built-in DAC and convenient in-line controls in a lightweight package. They miss Bluetooth connectivity, active noise cancellation, and strong water-resistance, which may limit use for modern smartphones and intense workouts. Best suited for budget-conscious listeners who need high-resolution wired audio on devices with a 3.5 mm jack.
JLab Go Air Pop+ earbuds provide ultra-budget true-wireless convenience with up to 35 hours of total battery life, IPX4 resistance, and dual-device pairing. Absence of active noise cancellation and a thin sound signature are drawbacks. Best for casual listeners who prioritize endurance and price.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Even though no formal user reviews were found, product pages highlight praise for the comfortable multi-size ear tips and the convenient built-in mic and controls, while recurring complaints focus on the short cable length and the lack of robust water-resistance for active use.
Professional reviewers praise the Go Air Pop+ for its outstanding battery endurance, clear mids, and feature set that includes dual-device pairing, a companion EQ app, and reliable touch controls-all at a budget price. However, they criticize the earbuds for a hard-edged, limited sound signature, inconsistent bass, sharp or dull treble, poor call quality, and discomfort after extended wear, noting the lack of active noise cancellation as a drawback for noisy environments.
Everyday users appreciate the long battery life, secure fit for workouts, low price, and the ability to tweak sound via the app. Common complaints revolve around ear fatigue after two hours, thin or unbalanced sound, subpar call performance, and the absence of ANC.
