If noise cancellation and over-ear comfort for longer travel are priorities, consider the JBL Tune 760NC, but remember it's bulkier and requires a longer charging time. The Jlab Go Air Sport is better for physical activities with its ear hooks and sweatproof design, plus they're significantly lighter. Sound quality in JBL is higher, but Jlab is more budget-friendly. If you use earbuds briefly and casually, especially during workouts, Jlab might suffice. For dedicated, noise-free listening, particularly during commutes or flights, the JBL would be a better investment despite the higher cost. Give Feedback

"The JBL 760NC offers quite a solid and moderately-above-average sonic performance for wireless headphones in this price tier. As usual, JBL outperforms more conventional big names like Apple or Beats. Listeners are given a clean, detailed, and mostly neutral sound that, typical to Harman, holds a universal appeal that seems unlikely to offend."
"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
