If you prioritize portability and noise cancellation for travel, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC might serve you well with its excellent noise isolation and foldable design. However, if you prefer higher audio quality for enjoying music and podcasts and need better call quality, the JBL Live 670NC would be the better option despite its higher cost, offering very good build quality and controls, alongside fair music performance. Both have active noise cancelling, but for TV and gaming, neither is ideal due to poor scores in those categories. Choose the JBL if you want a more versatile experience, or the JLab for focused noise isolation during travel at a slightly lower price. Give Feedback
