If sound quality for music and immersive gaming are priorities, the HyperX Cloud II offers a superior experience with better comfort and mic quality, which is ideal for long gaming sessions or calls; however, they are not wireless and lack features like active noise cancelling and are less suitable for air travel compared to the JBL Tune 760NC. Conversely, the JBL Tune 760NC offers active noise cancelling and longer battery life, making them more suitable for air travel and environments with more ambient noise, but they have a slightly less impressive sound experience for music and gaming.

"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."
