If you are on a budget and do most of your listening in quiet environments, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are a unique choice, allowing you to maintain awareness of your surroundings due to their open design. They're also sweatproof and dustproof, making them suitable for exercise, but they have a poor overall sound quality. Conversely, the JBL 510BT offers a closed enclosure design, providing better noise isolation and bass response, with a fair sound quality suitable for casual music listening, but they are not ideal for a noise-filled environment such as air travel or exercising due to poor comfort and noise isolation. The JBL 510BT also has a more extended battery life for longer use. Give Feedback

"The JBL Tune 510BT is affordable and compact, making it a great companion for a commute, so long as you don't need active noise canceling. If you wear glasses or have ear piercings, the on-ear design might not be comfortable, since the ear cups will squish your ears."

"If you're looking for a pair of headphones that can be worn while running or cycling, these Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are a great alternative to more expensive models. They're lightweight and compact, so they won't get in the way when wearing them while exercising. Plus, they have a built-in microphone so you can take calls during your workout without having to stop and fumble with your phone. The sound quality is great for this style of headphones, and it has many other cool features."
