If you prioritize a tighter budget and on-ear comfort, the JBL Tune 660NC might be suitable, especially for air travel and with active noise cancelling to reduce background noise. However, if you prefer true wireless convenience and use earbuds for gaming or exercise, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless with low latency and sweatproof features would be better. The Razer also has a better mic, which is important for calls. For portability, the JBL is foldable but the Razer, being smaller, is more portable. Both have good build quality, but different form factors cater to different preferences in fit and wearing style. Give Feedback

Chase Bernath | April 2023
"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"

Chris Welch | August 2019
"This latest set is more “Pro” than not in both looks and features: they offer active noise cancellation, a low-latency gaming mode, and have switched to a in-ear design with silicone tips. Just like many of the company’s laptops and gaming accessories, the 2021 Hammerhead True Wireless include Razer’s full Chroma RGB system. It makes for what Razer calls “the ultimate wireless earbud flex.”"
