Our Verdict
JBL Live 670NC
JBL Live 770NC
The JBL Live 670NC Wireless and JBL Live 770NC Wireless are from the same generation with more in common than not. They share the same app, nearly identical controls, and almost the same frame. The Live 670NC Wireless boast a longer battery life. Because they're on-ears, their noise isolation isn't quite as good as the Live 770NC over-ears' noise isolation. However, the on-ears deliver a bit more consistent sound. Meanwhile, the Live 770NC are more stable fitting and cut out more environmental noise overall.
