If you value noise cancellation and are willing to invest more, consider the JBL Live 670NC, which also offers better build quality, a foldable design, and a longer battery life for extended listening sessions. In contrast, the JLab Go Air Pop is a budget-friendly option with excellent durability, very good portability, and are sweatproof, making them suitable for exercise. However, the JBL's may not be optimal for gaming or TV due to their sound latency, while the JLab lacks features like active noise cancelling and wireless charging, which could enhance your listening experience.

"The JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."
