If you prioritize a high-quality build, better overall sound, and a detachable cable with an option to switch from a boom mic to a regular cable, Antlion Kimura Duo may be worth the extra cost, despite being more expensive and lacking wireless functionality. For active noise cancelling and the convenience of both wired and wireless use, with a longer battery life, the JBL Tune 660NC could suit you better, at a lower price point. The JBLs also fold for easier portability, but do not offer the same sound quality or build as the Antlions. Give Feedback

"Antlion Kimura Duo aren’t packed with features, but the ones they offer, work incredibly well. Especially the boom mic delivers very clean call quality with no distortion. If you explicitly look for gaming in-ear monitors with a reliable microphone, Antlion Kimura Duo are your best option."

"The JBL Tune 660NC is the best value you can get from a set of on-ear headphones. There's no companion app so you don't get many additional features, but everything the JBL Tune 660NC sets out to do, it does well. At this price, the JBL Tune 660NC is an easy recommendation for on-ear headphone lovers"
