If sound quality for music is your priority, the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless earbuds are comparable to JLab Go Work Wireless headphones, with a slight edge in bass and mid accuracy. The JLab offers superior comfort and mic quality, ideal for extended use and calls or meetings, with over-ear design providing better sound isolation and a long battery life of 47 hours. However, the JBL has a higher exercise and air travel score, indicating better portability and convenience for on-the-go use. Both are budget-friendly and share similar soundstage scores. If wireless convenience for mobile use is your need, the JBL could suit you better, but for office work with the best call quality, the JLab is the stronger choice. Give Feedback

"The Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."

"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
