If you prioritize high-fidelity sound while on calls or meetings and prefer the convenience of earbuds with advanced features like an app equalizer, low latency mode for gaming, and support for AAC and LDAC codecs, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 would be an excellent choice, though at a higher price. However, if extended battery life and over-ear comfort for long periods, such as during air travel, matter more to you, and you need something more budget-friendly, the JBL Tune 760NC headphones could better meet your needs despite lacking some of the advanced tech features of the Audio Technicas.

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."

"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."
