The JBL Tune 710BT headphones feature an over-ear design, which generally provides better sound quality and comfier fit for longer periods but is less portable compared to the Moondrop Nekocake's stemmed earbud design, which is more compact and exercise-friendly. The Tune 710BT offers superior build quality and integrated controls, making them robust and user-friendly, but their larger size and weight may not suit everyone. Meanwhile, the Nekocake offers slightly better noise isolation and has an app for equalizer and controls customization, which appeals to those who like to personalize their listening experience. If you make many calls, the JBL's mic quality is notably better. Importantly, only the Moondrop Nekocake features active noise cancelling, providing a quieter listening experience in noisy environments. The JBL has longer battery life, which is great for extended use without recharging. Neither supports low latency, making them less optimal for gaming or watching videos. Therefore, your choice should consider your priority between superior sound and build quality with less portability (JBL Tune 710BT) and compactness with customization plus active noise cancelling (Moondrop Nekocake).

"What sets the Nekocake apart from its competition at this price point is the Moondrop Link app that allows the user to change the tonal balance of the Nekocake. This makes sure that it’s versatile enough to suit different sonic preferences while allowing some customization of controls."
