If your focus is on sound quality with a bit more emphasis on calls and meetings, then the Sennheiser HD 250BT could be the better value, particularly as they are cheaper and have a reputation for robust build quality. The JBL Tune 760NC, while more expensive, offers active noise cancelling, which is great for air travel and better noise isolation, but they may not excel in terms of microphone quality or gaming suitability. The Sennheiser also supports low-latency codecs which makes them more suitable for gaming and watching videos. Both offer wireless connectivity, but the Sennheiser's longer battery life may be more convenient if you don't want to charge them as often. 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."

"As a lightweight, robust audio provider with a long battery life, the Sennheiser HD 250BT offer a lot for their price: very good Bluetooth codecs, an app connection and an extremely understated design. These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion."
