If price is a significant factor for you, the JBL Tune 660NC may be the better option as they are usually less expensive. For daily commuting and air travel, you might prefer the Soundcore Space One due to their excellent noise isolation and active noise cancelling features, which the JBL also has, but to a lesser degree. The Soundcore also boasts better overall sound quality and is more comfortable for long listening sessions, which can be important for over-ear headphone users. However, the JBLs are lighter and have a foldable design, making them more portable. The longer battery life of the JBL could also be a deciding factor if you need your headphones to last through extended use without charging. If you rely on your headphones' microphone for calls and meetings, neither of these options excel in that area. Give Feedback

Chase Bernath | April 2023
"The JBL Tune 660NC is the best value you can get from a set of on-ear headphones. There's no companion app so you don't get many additional features, but everything the JBL Tune 660NC sets out to do, it does well. At this price, the JBL Tune 660NC is an easy recommendation for on-ear headphone lovers"

Tim Gideon | September 2023
"The Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
