If you prioritize a portable and discrete option for activities like exercise or commuting and value features like sweatproof certification and a compact earbud design, go for the JBL Live Pro 2; they also offer better noise isolation and include wireless charging. However, if long battery life and the versatility of using a wired connection are more important, plus you want a more immersive sound experience especially for music and TV, the over-ear JBL Tune 710BT might be better, despite lacking active noise cancellation and sweat resistance. Consider also that the Tune 710BT might be more comfortable for longer wear due to its over-ear design. Give Feedback

"The JBL Live Pro 2 TWS occupy an interesting space in the wireless earbuds market. They’re a step up from cheap wireless earbuds and allow you to access better sound quality without having to make the jump to more premium options from the likes of Bose, Sony and Sennheiser. They’re an entertaining listen, easy to use and manage to pack in a lot of useful features. We think they’re well worth a listen."
