The JBL Tune 760NC offers a higher overall sound quality, active noise canceling, and is suitable for air travel, providing a more immersive listening experience. Meanwhile, the JLab Go Work Wireless has superior microphone quality, suited for calls and meetings, higher comfort, and longer battery life, making it a more fitting choice if you spend a lot of time on calls or prefer comfort over extended periods. Given that the JLab is also less expensive, they might be the better option if budget is a primary concern and you don't require active noise canceling. 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 are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
