The 7hz Timeless earbuds offer superior overall sound quality and are excellent for music; however, they are not wireless and might not be as comfortable for long-term wear compared to the JLab Go Work Wireless. The JLab headphones, while more affordable, have a boom microphone which is great for calls and meetings, and offer more comfort and better battery life. If sound quality for music is your priority and you're okay with a wired connection, go for the 7hz Timeless. But if you need wireless convenience, long-wear comfort, and a good mic for calls, the JLab Go Work Wireless would be more suitable. Give Feedback

The JLab Go Work Wireless has excellent build quality, while the 7hz Timeless has very good build quality.
"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."
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
