The JBL Tune 760NC headphones offer better overall sound quality, more comfort, and superior noise isolation compared to the JBL Tune 660NC, making them a better choice for longer listening sessions and travel. They also have longer battery life for extended use without charging. However, the Tune 660NC is lighter, can be considered more portable due to its smaller size when folded, and costs less. Both models have built-in controls and are suitable for casual music listening, but neither is particularly optimized for calls, meetings, gaming, or TV. If you're on a tighter budget and need something more compact, the Tune 660NC would be the way to go, but if sound quality, comfort, and noise isolation are more important and worth the extra cost, choose the Tune 760NC.

"The JBL Tune 660NC is the best value you can get from a set of on-ear headphones. There's no companion app so you don't get many additional features, but everything the JBL Tune 660NC sets out to do, it does well. At this price, the JBL Tune 660NC is an easy recommendation for on-ear headphone lovers"

"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."
