Our Verdict

JBL Live 670NC

Beats Solo 4

The JBL Live 670NC offer more customization and extra features than the Beats Solo 4. While both on-ears are similarly comfortable and well-built, the JBL have companion app support, including a parametric EQ and presets, and they have ANC. While it does a mediocre job of blocking out background noise, it's still better than the Beats' passive capabilities. They also support multi-device pairing and have a significantly longer continuous playback time. However, the Beats have a more balanced sound profile, which some users may prefer, and can also be used via wired USB.
