If you prioritize active noise cancelling for use during air travel or noisy environments, the JBL Tune 760NC are the better choice; however, they are bulkier and may not be as convenient for everyday portability. The Moondrop Chu earbuds offer excellent sound quality and mic performance especially for calls and meetings, and are more comfortable for exercise due to their lighter weight, but they lack wireless connectivity and active noise cancelling. Choose JBL for noise cancellation and wireless convenience at a higher price, or go for Moondrop Chu for superior sound and mic quality in a more portable form at a lower cost. 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."

Jasper Lastoria | September 2022
"These budget buds put the pressure on those premium priced in-ear monitors to really justify the cost disparity. Offering excellent sound quality at any price, the Moondrop Chu is both a perfect entry into the audio enthusiast hobby, and an all around good pick for music fans."
