Which is better for iPhone calls?

Both have a mic and inline remote. The Apple EarPods are the safer pick because of Apple's build and support; the CJBZLCPCOO pair works but has a thin review base.

Do both work with iPhone 14 and older Lightning models?

Yes. Both use a Lightning connector and are listed for Lightning iPhones. Neither works with USB-C iPhones like the iPhone 15 without an adapter.

Is the Apple pair worth the extra money?

If the price gap is small, yes, for brand support and consistency. If the CJBZLCPCOO pair is much cheaper and you only need basic listening, it can be enough.

Apple EarPods generally hold up better and are easier to service. The CJBZLCPCOO pair has no stated warranty, so treat it as a short-life buy.

Are either noise canceling?

No. Both are wired earbuds with no active noise cancellation. The in-ear seal gives only mild passive isolation.

Can I use them for sports?

They are wired and will tug on the cable during running. For gym use, a wireless pair fits better.

Buy the Apple EarPods for iPhone if you want a known brand with a reliable Lightning connector and remote. Buy the CJBZLCPCOO pair only if the price gap is large and you accept a no-name brand with a thin track record. No current prices were given for either, so compare live store prices before deciding.
