If you prioritize call quality and extended wear during work with the convenience of a boom mic, choose the JLab Go Work Wireless; they're more affordable and offer excellent comfort and build quality. However, if you desire high-fidelity sound during diverse activities such as music listening, calls, gaming, and travel, with advanced features like active noise canceling and wireless charging, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 may be worth the extra cost. The Audio Technica also supports LDAC for better sound quality over Bluetooth, is optimized for both Android and Apple devices, and has a low latency mode suitable for videos and gaming.

"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."
"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."
