The JBL Tune 710BT headphones offer good overall sound and robust build quality, suitable for air travel and casual listening, with the convenience of both wired and wireless use; however, they may not be the most comfortable for long periods. In contrast, the Skullcandy Dime 2 earbuds are much smaller, more portable, and more comfortable with better sound quality, making them ideal for exercise, frequent travelers, and those who prioritize a compact form factor. The Dime 2 also offers a higher convenience for calls and meetings owing to its stem design. If cost is a major concern and you're looking for something more lightweight and versatile for on-the-go use, the Skullcandy Dime 2 would be a smart pick, while the JBL Tune 710BT is better for those who prefer over-ear headphones with longer battery life for extended sessions.

"With the low price, it’s a low-risk investment. The Dime 2 is a decent set of backup buds for those times when you don’t want to risk your more upscale buds. If it weren’t for the lackluster battery life, I’d say everyone should have a pair as a spare for music."
