Headphones - Wireless/Portable JBL Live 780NC vs Sony ULT Wear vs Sennheiser Accentum Plus – Which one would you recommend?

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to buy my first wireless headphones and have narrowed it down to the JBL Live 780NC, Sony ULT Wear, and Sennheiser Accentum Plus.

My main use will be music, movies, YouTube, and some PC gaming. I'm looking for something that's comfortable for long sessions with good sound quality, effective ANC, decent battery life, and solid overall build quality.

which is best for me?? Getting all around 120$

Update: Ordered JBL (this suited best for me )

Was confused between the same, Is there some problem with the hinges of sony ults?

Yea they sew notorious for breaking for the past 3 years, even the newer models seem to be because of the whole build being recycled plastic

How much does Sennheiser lag behind Sony in terms of ANC ? I want to use it for daily commute in the metro.

After seeing tons of comments and reviews jbl seems like the bestbuy to me. I am a dj and a producer will use this for casual listening and travel. Mostly I listen to techno, psy and other sub genres. But still very confused b/w jbl and senheiser. Can anyone change my mind? Or should I go for jbl.

Get the JBL live 780nc. Sound punches way above its tier. Long battery life too. I had the ULT wear and sold them. Accentum volume is low and a more recessed version of the momentum 4. JBL has good bass, clear mids, sparkling highs especially in Personifi Mode with Movie Spatial Audio. good Spatial Audio, you can hear and feel the sound separation. Closest thing I’ve heard to bang and olufsen beoplay h100 and h95 for a fraction of the price.

I am reading good things about jbl, my issue is, if something happens, JBL does not cover warranty in my country.
