If price is a crucial factor, the JBL Tune 710BT is the more economical option. However, the Skullcandy Hesh ANC offers better overall sound quality, soundstage, and comfort, which can significantly enhance listening experiences. Also, the Skullcandy Hesh ANC has active noise cancelling, making it preferable for noisy environments like air travel. On the other hand, if battery life is essential for you, JBL offers a more extended battery life for typical use. Both have a built-in microphone, but Skullcandy's is rated higher in quality, making it better suited for calls and meetings. Give Feedback
