If you prioritize top-notch noise isolation, superior build quality, and a more immersive audio experience for music, TV, and video, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 headphones are an excellent choice, but they come at a higher cost. They offer the versatility of wireless and wired connectivity, active noise cancelling, and are highly comfortable, making them ideal for air travel and focused listening sessions. However, if you're looking for a more affordable option that still delivers very good sound quality for music and is suitable for exercise due to its sweatproof certification, the JBL Tune Flex earbuds might be the way to go. They also feature a low latency mode which can be beneficial for gaming and video viewing, but they lack the active noise cancelling and the overall build and comfort level of the Beoplay H95.

"JBL is offering a similar design and arguably better resolution than the more expensive AirPods 3rd Generation. Add to that a comfortable and versatile fit, an equalizer and pretty decent ANC, and you’ve got a quality wireless earphone. I would have loved longer battery life and more crystal calls, but for the price, you can’t complain. A solid deal overall."
