The JBL Tune 760NC headphones offer good overall sound quality, comfort, and noise isolation, with active noise cancelling and the option to use them wired, which is great for long travel. They have a longer battery life for extended listening sessions but are less portable. Conversely, the Soundcore Life P3 earbuds are smaller, offer more portability, and come with sweatproof certification – making them suitable for exercising. They also support wireless charging and have an app equalizer for sound customization. However, they offer slightly lesser overall sound quality and noise isolation compared to the JBLs.

The Soundcore Life P3 and JBL Tune 760NC both have very good build quality, though the Soundcore Life P3 has somewhat better build quality.
"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."
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
