Our Verdict

Skullcandy Jib True Wireless

JBL Vibe 100TWS True Wireless

The JBL Vibe 100TWS True Wireless are somewhat better in-ears than the Skullcandy Jib True Wireless. While both headphones are comfortable and well-built, the JBL have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and their integrated mic offers better overall performance. However, the Skullcandy can block out background noise and have a longer continuous battery life.
