Sony WF-SP800N vs Monster iSport Victory Wireless (2017)

The Sony WF-SP800N is a great Earphone for its $198 asking price.

The Monster iSport Victory Wireless (2017), on the other hand, is not worth its $19 price tag and should be avoided by most people. We strongly suggest that you take a look at some better alternatives if you're considering spending around $11 on a Earphone.

Any product that's held in high regard by such reliable sources should be considered by anyone that's looking for a Earphone at this price point.
