If you prioritize call quality and gaming, the Earfun Wave Pro is superior, with excellent performance in those areas, plus it offers longer battery life and additional features like sweatproof certification and ear hooks for a secure fit, which may benefit active users or during workouts. Despite being slightly less expensive, it also includes the LDAC codec for high-quality audio streaming, but no active noise cancelling. Conversely, the JBL Tune 760NC includes active noise cancelling which is great for air travel or noisy environments but has poorer performance for calls, gaming, and other media. The JBL is suitable if you require noise cancellation and a brand with a longer market presence. Give Feedback

"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."
