If you need headphones for frequent calls and meetings, the JLab Go Work Wireless with a boom mic provides superior voice clarity over the KZ ZSN Pro. However, the KZ earbuds perform better for gaming due to lower latency. While the Go Work has the edge in comfort and is wireless offering you more freedom of movement, the ZSN Pro's earbuds offer better noise isolation and are lighter, making them a good fit for portable use and travel but they do have a wire. The Go Work is much more expensive, so if budget is a concern, consider the ZSN Pro's competitive performance at a lower cost. 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."

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
