Our Verdict

JBL Tune 760NC

Sony WH-CH720N Wireless

The Sony WH-CH720N Wireless offer similar performance to the JBL Tune 760NC Wireless, and you might prefer one over the other depending on personal sound preference. Both headphones offer similar battery life performance, with bassy sound profiles. However, the Sony's companion app allows you to customize the sound further via a graphic EQ, presets, and spatial audio controls.
