If you often use headphones in noisy environments and prioritize the ability to isolate from outside noise, the JBL Tune 660NC with active noise cancelling might serve you better. However, for more active uses such as exercise, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds being sweatproof and lighter could be advantageous. The Everyday Earbuds also offer a better battery life and come with wireless charging which the JBLs lack, making them convenient if you're on-the-go. For video and gaming, the JBL headphones could be less suitable due to the potential latency issues. If phone calls are frequent, neither are ideal given their mic quality but the JBL may fare slightly better in noisy situations. When deciding, also consider comfort and portability; the JBLs are on-ear which some may find less comfortable over long periods, and they are foldable hence more portable than the Raycon's earbuds.

"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"
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
