If you prioritize sound quality during music listening and need headphones for calls and meetings with a great microphone, the Earfun Wave Pro is a compelling choice, offering very good overall audio and excellent mic quality. They are also suitable for TV and gaming due to their low latency mode. On the other hand, if budget is a concern and you're looking for a more affordable option that's still comfortable and has excellent build quality, the JLab Go Work Wireless could be suitable. They have a boom mic that can be useful for clear communication, although they may fall short in sound quality for music and entertainment. The JLab is also lighter, which might be a factor if comfort over long periods is key. However, neither is sweatproof or dustproof, so take caution if using them during exercise or outdoor activities. Give Feedback

Maike Paeßens | 2021
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
