The JBL Live 780NC are an upgrade over the JBL Live 770NC in most respects. The newer Live 780NC have significantly better ANC performance and have pure aluminum hinges. However, they sacrifice comfort in a few respects: the headband is less plush and fatiguing over time, the earpads are shallower and provide less cushioning against the Live 780NC's higher clamping force. That said, if you have a smaller head or otherwise don't have issues with the Live 780NC's comfort, they're the clear winner.
