If you value superior overall sound and music-listening experience, then the 7hz Timeless earbuds offer high-quality audio, but they're less convenient for mobile use and lack features like wireless connectivity and active noise cancelling, unlike the JBL Tune 760NC headphones. The JBL headphones may be a better choice if you require active noise cancellation for air travel, longer battery life for extended use, and wireless convenience. They also provide decent noise isolation and are more suitable for exercise due to their form and functionality. Keep in mind the 7hz Timeless has a premium price, reflecting its sound quality, while the JBL is typically less expensive, making it a more budget-friendly option. Give Feedback

"7Hz picked a bold name for the Timeless and frankly, got very close to justifying their word choice. Most importantly, the Timeless are good to go in stock form, so you don’t have to worry about source-matching and such. I can recommend the 7Hz Timeless to those who do not mind a dash of brightness up top, want a taste of planar in IEM form, and want one of the most resolving pair of earphones in the $150 - $300 price range."

"The JBL 760NC offers quite a solid and moderately-above-average sonic performance for wireless headphones in this price tier. As usual, JBL outperforms more conventional big names like Apple or Beats. Listeners are given a clean, detailed, and mostly neutral sound that, typical to Harman, holds a universal appeal that seems unlikely to offend."
