If budget is a concern, the JBL Tune 710BT offers a more affordable option with good sound quality, wireless capabilities, and built-in controls, making it suitable for casual music listening, calls, and air travel due to its very good battery life. However, if you prioritize top-notch sound quality for an immersive music experience, the Sennheiser IE600 may be worth the investment; they boast the best audio quality and excellent build, but lack wireless connectivity and active noise cancelling, and are not ideal for calls due to poor mic quality.
