Our Verdict
Sony WH-H900N/h.ear on 2 Wireless
JBL E65BTNC Wireless
The Sony WH-H900N/h.ear on 2 Wireless are slightly better headphones than the JBL E65BTNC Wireless. They have a great audio reproduction which follows our target curve accurately and will be versatile for a wide variety of music genres. They also have a great 27-hour battery life (but will take 5 hours to charge fully), and they have a great companion app that allows you to customize the sound to your liking. On the other hand, the JBLs have an amazing wireless range and better isolation performance, making them slightly more versatile for everyday casual use such as commuting and for the office.
