If noise isolation and comfort during long flights are your top priorities, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC would suit you better as they have active noise cancelling and are rated excellent for air travel. They also come with a foldable design and built-in controls for convenience. However, if you're focused on a budget-friendly option for gaming and watching TV with a very good score, and don't mind the lack of wireless connectivity, the KZ ZSN Pro (with Mic) could be the better choice. Keep in mind that the KZ ZSN Pro may not offer the same level of active noise cancellation and sound isolation for noisy environments as the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC. Give Feedback

"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."
