Our Verdict

JBL Live 660NC

Sony WH-CH720N Wireless

The Sony WH-CH720N Wireless and JBL Live 660NC Wireless rely on different strengths. Both sets of over-ears have similar noise isolation performance. The Sony headphones have a longer continuous battery life, and their app includes virtual surround sound. While both headphones include apps with EQ, the JBL sound much less excited by default. If you play mobile games or often watch videos, the JBL headphones have a much lower latency between the two when using the different modes in the app.
