If you're frequently on the go, prefer the convenience of wireless audio, and need longer battery life, the JBL Tune 710BT headphones would be the better choice, offering wireless connectivity, a foldable design for easier transport, and up to 50 hours of battery life. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and don't mind using a cable, the KZ ZSN Pro X earbuds are much less expensive and provide a very good build quality for their price. The KZ earbuds might suit you if you prefer a more discreet, in-ear option with a detachable cable and hybrid drivers for a potentially balanced audio experience. Keep in mind, though, they lack wireless functionality and have no active noise cancelling, unlike the JBL headphones, which may be a drawback for noisy environments or if you dislike cords.

"We are facing headphones that are comfortable to use with a foldable and lightweight design, which is combined with 40mm dynamic drivers and a multipoint Bluetooth connection, which makes them versatile and a good option for day-to-day use, whether for listening music, podcasts, audiobooks, or videos."
"The KZ ZSN PRO X offers superb sound for very little money, like under $30 USD. It has some rough edges with a plastic seam on the cable that can rub on your ear, and the bud is a bit large. The tech isn't cutting edge, but new doesn't always equal better. You should try it."
