If you prioritize calls and meetings, or want better noise isolation, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 earbuds, with excellent call quality and very good noise isolation, would be the better choice, plus they support a high-quality LDAC codec for great music listening and have a low latency mode for gaming. However, they are more expensive and not as suitable for use during exercise. On the other hand, the JBL Tune 710BT headphones offer a longer battery life, and the option for wired use with a detachable cable, at a much lower price. But they don't provide active noise cancelling, have lower call and gaming performance, and are bulkier, making them less portable. Choose the ATH-TWX7 for higher-end features and sound quality or the JBL Tune 710BT for budget-friendly, long-lasting headphones suitable for casual use. Give Feedback

Billy Steele | January 2024
"There’s plenty to like about the ATH-TWX7. A robust set of features brings a lot of convenience to your day. But a few of those tools could still use some fine-tuning and the lack of automatic pausing in 2024 is a head scratcher. Still, the audio is mostly good, and transparency mode is better than most. Add in the solid call quality and the in-app voice test and the ATH-TWX7 are a worthy consideration, especially at this price. Too bad it falls short of being a more complete package some of the competition offers for a slightly larger investment."

"We are facing headphones that are comfortable to use with a foldable and lightweight design, which is combined with 40mm dynamic drivers and a multipoint Bluetooth connection, which makes them versatile and a good option for day-to-day use, whether for listening music, podcasts, audiobooks, or videos."
