The JBL Tune 710BT are over-ear headphones that provide a comfortable fit and closed enclosure for better passive noise isolation. They are versatile for various uses, including a decent performance for watching TV and gaming due to their low latency. If you're looking for earbuds that are lighter and more portable with good microphone quality for calls and a stylish stemmed design, the "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick might be the better choice. Both offer good sound quality for music. The JBL has a longer battery life, whereas the Ear Stick offers unique features such as sweat resistance and compatibility with AAC codec for Apple users.

"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."

Jasper Lastoria | December 2022
"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."
