If price is a major concern for you, the Earfun Wave Pro is the more budget-friendly option. For longer use, the Earfun offers exceptional battery life, which outperforms the JBL's; it also includes a feature for low latency listening, which might be handy for gaming and watching videos. On the other hand, the JBL Live 670NC includes active noise cancelling, which can be a critical feature if you're looking to reduce background noise, especially during travel. While both offer wireless and wired capabilities, the JBL has a shorter cable, which could be a factor depending on how you plan to use them. The Earfun's comfort and call quality are rated higher than JBL's, which might be important if you're wearing them for long periods or often on calls. If you need an equalizer app and onboard controls customization, these are available with the JBL but not with the Earfun. Consider how these factors align with your preferences and intended use to make your decision. Give Feedback
