If active noise cancellation is important for you, the JBL Tune 760NC would be a better fit as they likely offer this feature, enhancing your listening experience in noisier environments at the expense of the Nothing Ear Stick. The JBLs are also a good choice if you prefer over-ear comfort and longer battery life for extended listening sessions. In contrast, if you prioritize a more discreet, lightweight design for convenience and portability, such as for commuting or exercising, the Nothing Ear Stick could be more appealing, plus they might come with a more unique aesthetic. However, keep in mind that true wireless earbuds like the Ear Stick usually have shorter battery life and may not isolate sound as effectively as over-ear headphones. 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."

Sound Guys

Jasper Lastoria | December 2022
"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."
