Which is better for running and gym use?

The HD65. Its IPX7 rating means it handles sweat and rain, while the 48H earbuds carry no water resistance rating.

Which has longer battery life?

The 48H earbuds claim 48 hours total. The HD65 claims 15 hours per charge and 75 with the case, though its own description says 24, so the real figure is uncertain.

Is the HD65 worth stepping up to over the 48H earbuds?

Yes if you need waterproofing, bass-heavy sound or low-latency gaming. If you just want casual listening with Siri, the 48H set covers that.

Which works better with an iPhone?

The 48H earbuds list Siri support and iOS compatibility. The HD65 pairs over Bluetooth with any phone but names no assistant.

Do either have active noise cancellation?

Both list active noise cancellation, but at this tier expect it to soften steady background noise rather than silence it.

Which has better range from the phone?

The 48H earbuds are rated to 100 ft; the HD65 to about 33 ft. In practice walls cut both down.

HD65 ANC Wireless Earbuds vs Wireless Ear Buds 48H Playtime

The HD65 is the stronger pick for workouts and gaming: IPX7 waterproofing, a 14.2mm driver for deep bass, a low-latency mode and Bluetooth 5.4. The 48H earbuds are a simpler casual-listening set with a longer rated range and Siri support. Build quality on both is budget plastic, and the HD65's own listing contradicts itself on playtime and Bluetooth version, so treat its figures loosely. Owners of either should expect fine sound for the money rather than premium noise cancellation.

Choose the HD65 if you want sweat-proof earbuds for the gym, a bass-forward sound and a low-latency mode for mobile gaming.
Choose the 48H earbuds if you mainly listen casually, use an iPhone with Siri, and want a set rated for a longer connection range.
