If you value cutting-edge features and better overall sound quality, the JBL Live 770NC would be the better choice; they are optimized for both Android and Apple devices and offer app customization which could enhance your listening experience. However, they do come at a higher price point than the JBL Tune 760NC. On the other hand, if budget is a primary concern and you still want decent sound and comfort with active noise cancelling, the JBL Tune 760NC could meet your needs for less money. Both options have a similar battery life and build quality, but the JBL Tune 760NC lacks the app equalizer, customization, and is not optimized for any specific operating system. Neither model is recommended for gaming or watching TV due to poor performance in those areas, but they are suitable for music and air travel. Give Feedback

"The JBL 760NC offers quite a solid and moderately-above-average sonic performance for wireless headphones in this price tier. As usual, JBL outperforms more conventional big names like Apple or Beats. Listeners are given a clean, detailed, and mostly neutral sound that, typical to Harman, holds a universal appeal that seems unlikely to offend."
