If you're looking for affordability and good performance during exercise or travel, the JBL Tune Buds provide wireless convenience and sweatproof certification, suitable for active use. However, their sound quality and features like active noise cancelling and virtual surround are outdone by the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro. Going for the MW75-Neuro, you get superior sound, noise cancellation, and cutting-edge AI technology that helps manage focus and mental health, but at a significantly higher price. These are over-ear headphones and not as portable or exercise-friendly as the JBL Tune Buds. Your choice should consider your budget, need for premium sound and features versus portability and exercise suitability. Give Feedback

"JBL’s Tune Buds stick with the company’s signature bass-heavy sound by default, but a quality in-app EQ lets you sculpt the audio to taste. These noise-cancelling true wireless earphones also mitigate environmental distractions fairly well for the price and offer good battery life. If you're specifically seeking bold, bass-tuned audio out of the box, the Tune Buds are worth a listen."
