If active noise cancelling is a priority and you plan to use your headphones during air travel or in noisy environments, the JBL Live 670NC would be the better choice as they offer this feature. However, they have a lower sound quality compared to other options. For longer calls and meetings, the JLab Go Work Wireless would be advantageous with its excellent mic quality and being more budget-friendly. Bear in mind the JBLs have virtual surround, which may enhance your TV and gaming experience, despite their lower scores in these categories, while the JLab lacks this feature. The JBLs are more portable and better suited for exercise, thanks to their foldable design and weight, but neither are sweatproof. If customization is important, the JBLs offer app equalizer and controls customization, but if you're looking to save money and prioritize comfort and mic quality for work-related use, the JLab Go Work Wireless might be the way to go.

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."
