Our Verdict

Mpow CH9 Wireless

JBL JR300BT Wireless

The Mpow CH9 Wireless are slightly better on-ear headphones for kids than the JBL JR300BT Wireless. The Mpow have a more stable fit, a longer continuous battery life, and a more consistent audio delivery. Also, their integrated microphone performs better than the JBL's mic. However, the JBL have a more neutral sound profile compared to the bass-heavy Mpow, and they're also more comfortable.
