Our Verdict

JBL Tune 660NC Wireless

JBL Tune 510BT

The JBL Tune 660NC Wireless are better than the JBL Tune 510BT for most purposes. They have longer continuous battery life and leak less audio. They also have an ANC feature that blocks out much more ambient noise than the 510BT can passively, but their noise isolation performance is sub-par overall. On the other hand, the 510BT deliver sound more consistently.
