If you often commute or fly, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 offers superior noise isolation and active noise cancelling, providing a better experience in noisy environments, plus they have a higher sound quality for music and videos. They also come with an app that allows for equalizer and controls customization; however, they are typically more expensive. On the other hand, the JBL Tune 660NC headphones are more affordable and could be more comfortable for long listening sessions due to their on-ear design. They have a longer battery life too, yet they might not offer the same sound quality and noise isolation as the Sennheisers. Additionally, they lack low latency features, making them less suited for gaming or watching videos. Both are suitable for exercise, but neither is sweatproof or dustproof certified. Consider how you plan to use them, such as for music, calls, gaming, or travel, and whether customization and noise cancellation are worth the extra cost. 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"
