Design and Comfort
The JBL Tune 760NC is a lightweight, foldable over-ear wireless headphone designed for those who value comfort and portability. Weighing in at 7.8 ounces, these headphones are quite light. They come in a stylish black color, and their foldable design is perfect for those always on the move.
On the other hand, Bose's QuietComfort 45 are hailed for their top-notch comfort levels. They feature a refreshed design with soft cushions, providing a snug fit. Weighing slightly more at 15.5 ounces, they still manage to provide a lightweight feel. The use of soft synthetic leather and durable glass-filled nylon ensures both long-lasting use and comfort.
Active Noise Cancellation
Both the JBL Tune 760NC and Bose QuietComfort 45 take noise cancellation very seriously.
The JBL Tune 760NC offers active noise cancellation, promising up to 35 hours of uninterrupted focus on your music. It blocks unnecessary distractions like ambient noises, immersing you fully in your sound journey.
The Bose QuietComfort 45, however, takes things a step further. It uses tiny microphones to measure, compare, and react to outside noise, actively canceling it. Plus, it offers the flexibility of Quiet and Aware Modes. The former does not offer transparency mode, while the latter allows you to remain aware of your surroundings while enjoying your music.
Comparing both, the QC45 shines as the better ANC headphone in this department.
Sound Quality
When it comes to sound quality, QC45 does much better. According to JBL, the Tune 760NC leverages JBL's PURE BASS SOUND technology, developed over 70 years to reproduce the impressive sound found in big venues worldwide.
The promise is a deep, powerful bass that thrills. However, real-life tests show the sound quality to be not as robust.
The Bose QuietComfort 45 features highfidelity audio provided by Bose's TriPort acoustic architecture. The Volumeoptimized Active EQ maintains balanced performance at any volume. Whether you turn the volume up or down, your music remains clear and the bass consistent.

Battery Life
The JBL Tune 760NC promises a longlasting battery life of 35 hours with noise cancellation turned on. If that's not enough, an extra two hours of juice can be acquired with just a five-hour charge.
Bose QuietComfort 45 offers up to 24 hours of battery life from a single charge. A quick 15-minute charge can give you 3 hours of playtime, and the headphones can be used in wired mode with the included audio cable for even longer listening sessions.
What are Your Experiences?
While both the JBL Tune 760NC and the Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones come with their unique features and strengths, your choice depends on what you value most. If you're after a lightweight design and better affordability, you might lean toward the JBL Tune 760NC.
QuietComfort 45 may be your best bet.
