Our Verdict
Marshall MID ANC Wireless
JBL CLUB 700BT Wireless
The Marshall MID ANC Wireless are slightly better Bluetooth on-ear headphones for mixed usage than the JBL CLUB 700BT. The Marshall have a better hard carrying case, much better controls, and an iconic retro design that some people may love. They also have a slightly better-balanced sound profile that's much more consistent among various users and better noise isolation thanks to their ANC feature, though it still works only decently well. The JBL have a much longer 55-hour battery life and a dedicated companion app that lets you customize their sound via a parametric EQ.
