If you're seeking affordable, portable earbuds for use during exercise with good noise isolation and sweat resistance, the Earfun Air Pro 2 would suit you well. For longer battery life, more comfort during extended sessions, better overall sound, and active noise cancelling, the JBL Live 770NC headphones are preferable. These over-ear headphones also fold for transport and offer wireless charging, but they are heavier and may be less convenient for active use. Note the JBLs have a slight edge in mic quality, useful if you make calls often. Choose Earfun if budget and exercise are priorities, and JBL Live 770NC for superior sound and comfort. Give Feedback

"There’s a lot to like about EarFun Air Pro 2. The best thing about them is the active noise cancellation, which works almost as well as the best true wireless earbuds out there. The audio quality is funky but enjoyable. Good dynamics and a wider soundstage save its presentation. Everyone, apart from the most diehard audiophiles, should be happy with it."
