If you prioritize comfort for long listening sessions and you prefer over-ear headphones, the JBL Tune 710BT might suit you better; however, if you're interested in earbuds that offer a higher degree of noise isolation, active noise cancelling, and a more secure fit during exercise, then the Soundcore Life P3 would be a preferable choice. The Life P3 also comes with app customization options, wireless charging, and is better for air travel due to their smaller size and longer battery life with the case, but it may cost slightly more than the JBL headphones. Both models have a similar build quality and sound good, but neither is ideal for gaming due to latency. Also, note that the JBL has a wired option if that's important to you. Give Feedback

"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."

"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
