If active noise cancelling is a priority for you, go for the JBL Live 670NC; it will be more effective for air travel and noisy environments. However, if you're on a budget and can forgo noise cancellation, the JBL Tune 710BT offers good sound quality for less money. The Live 670NC also provides a better overall experience for calls and meetings, and has a built-in app for equalizer and controls customization. On the other hand, the Tune 710BT, while lacking these app features, may offer a more comfortable fit with their over-ear design compared to the on-ear Live 670NC. Both are versatile for wired and wireless use and offer long battery life, but keep in mind the Live 670NC has more modern features, which reflect its higher price point. Give Feedback
