Choosing between the JBL Live Pro 2 and the JBL Tune 760NC depends on where and how you'll use them. If you're active and need earbuds for exercise, the Live Pro 2 is lightweight, sports a secure fit, and is sweatproof, making it more suitable. They also have a better noise isolation, making them great for travel and in noisy environments. However, if you prefer over-ear comfort and a longer battery life for extended sessions, the Tune 760NC is a better fit; they also include a detachable cable for wired listening. Both models have similar sound quality and mic performance, so for calls and casual listening, either would suffice. Keep in mind, the Live Pro 2 is more portable with its smaller charging case, while the 760NC is foldable but bulkier. Give Feedback

What HiFi? | February 2023
"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."

"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."
