The JBL Tune 760NC offers better overall sound quality and noise isolation, which makes them great for air travel and environments with a lot of background noise. Additionally, they can be used wirelessly or with a cable and have active noise cancelling, making them versatile for various listening environments. On the other hand, the Shokz OpenMove features bone conduction technology, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings, making them safer for outdoor activities like running. They are lighter, have a better microphone, and are sweatproof, which also suits exercise use. However, they have a lower overall sound quality and less effective noise isolation, which could be less engaging for immersive listening experiences. Give Feedback

"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."
"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
