The JBL Tune 760NC headphones are a more budget-friendly choice and are suitable for air travel due to better noise cancellation. They are heavier and larger, making them less portable but potentially more comfortable for over-ear fit preference. In contrast, the "Nothing" Ear (2) earbuds are more expensive but offer higher call and gaming performance, greater portability, sweat and dust resistance, and longer battery life with a case that supports wireless charging. They also provide an equalizer and customization through their app, which could enhance your listening experience if tailored sound is important to you. 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."

"For the price the Nothing Ear (2) is pretty good. It fits well, and the IP54 rating (and IP55 with case) is durable enough for daily life. Most of its unique features are found in the Nothing X app, such as personalized frequency responses, and personalized, adjustable ANC."
