Edifier V80 Hybrid ANC Headphones vs JBL Tune 520BT

The Edifier V80 is the better all-round headphone: it adds hybrid active noise cancellation, a wired USB-C Hi-Res mode and multipoint, which the JBL Tune 520BT lacks entirely. The JBL wins on battery life, 57 hours against 26 with ANC on, and its on-ear fit folds flat for travel. Owners of the V80 praise the noise cancellation, comfort and balanced bass, though some call the sound less rich than Edifier's own W830NB. Buy the V80 if noise blocking matters; buy the JBL if you want the longest runtime and the simplest on-ear design.

• Choose the Edifier V80 if you want active noise cancellation, a wired Hi-Res listening mode or two-device multipoint in an over-ear headphone.
• Choose the JBL Tune 520BT if you mostly want very long battery life, a light on-ear fit and JBL's bass-forward sound with no noise cancelling.
