If you prioritize active noise cancelling and better build quality, the JBL Live 670NC is the superior choice; they're also more suitable for air travel and making calls due to superior microphone quality. However, they may not be the best for gaming or watching TV because of lower performance in those areas. On the other hand, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are budget-friendly and good for exercise due to their sweatproof and dustproof features, but they lack noise isolation and aren't the best for immersive listening experiences. The bone conduction design allows you to remain aware of your surroundings, which might be a plus for outdoor activities. Give Feedback
