Our Verdict

AKG N700NC M2 Wireless

JBL Tour One Wireless

The AKG N700NC M2 Wireless are better over-ears than the JBL Tour One Wireless. While both headphones are equally comfortable and well-built, the AKG have a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer, are less prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, and have a significantly better noise isolation performance. However, the JBL have much longer continuous battery life.
