If you prioritize wireless convenience and longer battery life for activities like air travel or general music listening, the JBL Tune 710BT may suit you, as they also have a slightly better overall sound quality and are foldable for easier transport. However, for gaming and TV where low latency is crucial, and if you require virtual surround sound, the Razer Kraken V3 would be more suitable despite not being wireless or as portable. The Kraken has a better gaming score and includes virtual surround capability, which the JBL lacks, enhancing your immersive experience in those environments. Both are over-ear, closed-back headphones with their own strengths, so choose based on whether you value portability and wireless features (JBL) or gaming and surround sound features (Razer).

"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."
"This Razer Kraken V3 is a great headset for gamers who want comfort, surround sound, and software customization for a reasonable price. It's primarily a headset for PC gamers since THX Spatial audio is only supported on Windows. If you want something more multifaceted for multiple systems, this won't be an ideal headset for you. Luckily, there are plenty of competent Kraken V3 alternatives available to you."
