Our Verdict

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)

JBL Live 780NC

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) are more premium over-ears than the JBL Live 780NC. That said, the JBL still compete in performance, with similarly effective ANC, a significantly longer 60.5-hour battery life (compared to the Bose's 37), and more comprehensive controls. That said, as the name implies, the Bose are significantly more comfortable across a diverse range of people, and come with nice-to-haves like a hard case and support for both wired USB-C and analog audio playback.
