If you're on a budget, JBL Live Pro 2 earbuds are significantly less costly and suitable for exercise and travel with excellent noise isolation and very good comfort. However, they may not perform well for music, calls, gaming, TV, and video. The Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro headphones, more expensive, provide very good to excellent performance across various content types, including music, calls, and gaming, with additional features like active noise cancelling and an app equalizer. They are not ideal for exercise due to their size but offer advanced technology for focus and mental health care. Choose JBL for affordability and portability, or Master & Dynamic for premium sound and tech features. 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."
