Our Verdict

JBL Everest 710 Wireless

JBL Live 650 BTNC Wireless

The JBL Live 650 BTNC will be more versatile than the JBL Everest 710 Wireless thanks to their ANC feature. However, the Everest model will be more comfortable for most and sound more neutral. They also have a unique music sharing feature that lets you sync any other Bluetooth headphones to listen to the same content. They also have amazing battery life, but aren't compatible with the JBL Headphones app, meaning the Live 650BTNC will be more customizable with a great parametric EQ.
