The sound quality is clear in busy outdoor areas? (It doesn’t have to be full HD)

I know reviews are somewhat subjective, but I just don't think these earbuds are worth the asking price. With the lack of water resistance, ANC, a battery in the case, or even a USB cable for charging, I think you'd struggle to justify spending more than $20 for these. You mentioned JLab, but there's also Soundcore, TOZO, and EarFun. IMO, if you pay $80 for these, $60 of that is just paying for the brand name.

Are you guys journalists paid to write reviews?
