Sadly don’t have any experience with either.

I used to be fairly big into the audio space, took me awhile but I worked out what sort of sound signature suited me best and went and experiments with a ton of headphones and stuff.

What are you looking for in a pair of earbuds/pieces or headphones?

Headphones I can wear all day at work. Noise blocking is fine (it isn't that noisy in the office). I need to take video calls a couple of times a day, so the mic quality is crucial. I don't want to be raising my voice to be heard by other parties as that'll annoy people in my area.

I love my Jabra in-ear headphones for running, but they're not awesome for calls and they'll go flat after about 4-5 hours of constant use. In fairness, they're probably ok for wearing all day with a couple of charges in their case but the mic quality isn't good enough.
