If you prefer over-ear comfort and longer battery life for extended sessions, the JBL Tune 710BT is suitable. These headphones are good for air travel and have active noise cancelling for a more immersive experience, but they're less portable. On the other hand, the JBL Tune Buds are more portable and come with additional features like sweat and dustproof certification, making them a better choice for exercise. Both have good overall sound quality, but keep in mind that neither are ideal for gaming or TV due to poor scores in those areas. If app equalizer customization is important to you, the Tune Buds provide this option. Give Feedback

"JBL’s Tune Buds stick with the company’s signature bass-heavy sound by default, but a quality in-app EQ lets you sculpt the audio to taste. These noise-cancelling true wireless earphones also mitigate environmental distractions fairly well for the price and offer good battery life. If you're specifically seeking bold, bass-tuned audio out of the box, the Tune Buds are worth a listen."
