If budget is a key concern, JLab Jbuds Lux ANC offers good value and active noise cancelling for a significantly lower price. For frequent travelers, both models provide excellent noise isolation and are foldable for portability, but if you often take calls or attend virtual meetings, neither of these headphones excel in that area. JBL Live 770NC has a slight edge in overall sound quality and comes with integrated virtual surround, which might enhance your listening experience for music and movies, although it might not suit gaming or TV due to higher latency. Both are closed-back over-ear designs with detachable cables, but the JBL has slightly longer battery life. Consider the JBL if sound quality and additional features like app customization and integrated virtual surround are worth the increased cost; otherwise, the JLab is a more budget-friendly choice with many similar features.
