If you prioritize portability and the ability to use earbuds during exercise, the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 would serve you well, as they're sweatproof and have a convenient stem design. However, if you're looking for something more affordable that you can wear over your ears for better comfort during long periods, such as air travel, the JBL Tune 760NC headphones might be a better fit. For those who need active noise cancelling for noisy environments, both offer this feature, but the JBL's over-ear design may provide better passive noise isolation. The Aurvana Ace 2 boasts higher-quality sound for music and comes with advanced features like an integrated mic, aptX Lossless codec for better sound quality, and wireless charging, but if you occasionally need to go wired or have a longer battery life, the JBL Tune 760NC offers these features.

"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."
