Our Verdict

JBL E65BTNC Wireless

Anker SoundCore Space NC Wireless

The JBL E65BTNC Wireless are better-sounding headphones than the Anker SoundCore Space NC Wireless but don’t isolate noise as well. The JBL sound profile is suitable for many music genres but will still be better suited for bass-heavy genres. You can connect the JBL to two devices simultaneously, and you can use them while charging, which can be very useful at the office. However, the Anker block out more noise, especially in the bass range, making them a better option for commuting.
