If budget is a concern, the JLab Go Work Wireless is more affordable and offers a boom mic that's excellent for calls and meetings, making it suitable for office work. Despite its affordability, it has good overall sound and build quality, but falls short for music and TV/video due to lower scores in those areas. For active noise cancelling and longer battery life, consider the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC which may be a bit more expensive. It also offers good noise isolation, making it a better choice for air travel and noisy environments. However, keep in mind its sound scores are fair, possibly affecting enjoyment of music and other media. Give Feedback

Maike Paeßens | 2021
"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."
