If you prioritize comfort and call quality during work meetings, the JLab JBuds Work Wireless with a higher comfort and microphone score would be a good choice, plus they have longer battery life. However, for air travel and noise isolation, the JBL Tune 760NC would be better as they have active noise cancelling and a better score for these scenarios. Bear in mind, the JBL has a slightly better overall sound quality which might be desired for music listening but lacks the low latency performance of the JLab, making the JLab more appropriate for gaming and TV. Both have a detachable cable and are similarly portable. Give Feedback

Major HiFi
Staff | May 2023
"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."

Tim Gideon | February 2022
"The JLab JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
