Samsung EO-IC100
Score: 83/100
JLab Go Air Pop Lilac
Score: 52/100Rankings
The Samsung EO-IC100B USB-C earphones deliver clear, balanced sound with a built-in DAC and premium build, but lack ANC and a protective case. Suitable for users who need high-quality wired audio on USB-C devices.
The JLab GO Air Pop delivers impressive total battery life, a lightweight fit, IPX4 resistance and dual-connect capability at a budget price. It lacks USB-C charging, an app, and active noise cancellation, and its latency is high for gaming or video.
