Our Verdict

JBL CLUB ONE Wireless

JBL CLUB 950NC Wireless

The JBL CLUB 950NC Wireless and the JBL CLUB ONE Wireless are very similar headphones in terms of performance and looks. However, the 950NC have a bit more balanced sound profile, a slightly better noise cancelling (ANC) feature, and their battery charges quicker. However, the CLUB ONE have a slightly better performing integrated mic, they come with a coiled audio cable for DJing, and they have a Silent Now feature that allows you to only use their ANC without listening to music, to help limit audio distractions.
