The Earfun Wave Pro may be a better choice if you're looking for overall versatility, as they offer very good sound quality, are excellent for calls and meetings, and have active noise cancelling to help in noisy environments. They also provide a very long battery life and support a lossless codec (LDAC) for high-quality audio streaming. However, they are on the heavier side and not optimized for exercise due to their lack of sweatproof certification.
On the other hand, the JBL Tune 660NC are more portable with a smaller carry size and lighter weight. They also have active noise cancelling and a detachable cable, which is convenient. However, they may not be the best choice for long calls or gaming, as their microphone and overall sound quality are rated lower. They do not support a lossless codec and have a shorter battery life compared to the Earfun Wave Pro. If portability and a compact form factor are your main concerns, the JBL Tune 660NC might suit you better. Give Feedback

"The JBL Tune 660NC is the best value you can get from a set of on-ear headphones. There's no companion app so you don't get many additional features, but everything the JBL Tune 660NC sets out to do, it does well. At this price, the JBL Tune 660NC is an easy recommendation for on-ear headphone lovers"
