If active noise cancelling is important for you or if you often engage in air travel where noise reduction is critical, the JBL Live 670NC would be the better choice, despite being more expensive. The JBLs are on-ear headphones with better noise isolation and a long battery life, suitable for extended listening sessions. However, for more portability, sweat resistance during exercise, and wireless charging convenience, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds could be more suited to your needs, especially if you are looking to save some money. The Raycons are also a good fit for gaming and TV due to their lower latency. The JBLs, on the other hand, offer built-in virtual surround, which might enhance your listening experience, but they are not the best for gaming or watching TV. Give Feedback

"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
