The Earfun Wave Pro offers better value if you are looking for versatility and an overall good performance across various content, such as music, calls, and TV with features like Active Noise Cancelling and a Low Latency Mode for reduced audio lag. They also have a longer battery life and are good for air travel and outdoor activities due to their sweatproof feature and secure fit with ear hooks. Alternatively, the JBL Live 770NC could be a better pick if you prioritize sound customization through an app equalizer and app controls customization. The JBLs are optimized for both Android and Apple devices and have a faster charging time. However, they lack a low latency mode, which may be a disadvantage for gaming or watching TV. Consider what's most important for your usage – feature set, price, or specific use scenarios. Give Feedback
