How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a do-everything everyday headphone with adaptive noise cancelling, app-based tuning and marathon battery life, choose JBL Tune 670NC; if you need a waterproof, open-ear sport headphone that keeps playing when your phone stays on the pool deck, choose Jabees 7Seven. They both do multipoint pairing — two devices connected at once — but they solve completely different problems.
• JBL Tune 670NC — biggest strength: Adaptive Noise Cancelling with Smart Ambient plus up to 70 hours of battery life in an on-ear, foldable design. Biggest trade-off: it's an indoor/commute headphone — no water resistance rating, so sweat and pools are off the table.
• Jabees 7Seven — biggest strength: IP68 waterproofing (freshwater submersion to 1.5 m for up to 60 minutes) and a built-in 32GB MP3 player, so it works with no phone at all. Biggest trade-off: roughly 6.5 hours of playback per charge and no noise cancelling.
• Pick JBL Tune 670NC if you want one headphone for commuting, calls, study sessions and long listening days.
• Pick Jabees 7Seven if you want one headphone for swimming, running, cycling and any workout where water and awareness matter.
• Both support multipoint pairing, so both can hold two Bluetooth devices at once — the difference is where you'll use them.
The Tune 670NC is built around noise control and endurance. Adaptive Noise Cancelling kills the drone of a bus engine or an open-plan office, and Smart Ambient flips that around with Ambient Aware and TalkThru so you can hear announcements or a barista without pulling the headphones off. You switch those modes in the JBL Headphones app, and the app also lets you pick Audio or Video mode through the Smart Audio & Video feature — useful if you bounce between music and games. Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio is the modern standard here, and the 10-metre range is normal for a phone-in-pocket setup.
Battery is the headline number: JBL rates average life at up to 70 hours, with a 2-hour charge time over USB-C and a 5-minute top-up that adds 3 hours. Even if you treat that figure as optimistic, this is a headphone you charge weekly, not nightly. The on-ear design uses soft ear cushions and a padded headband, and the whole thing folds flat, which matters if it lives in a bag. Call handling is on the earcup with VoiceAware, so you hear your own voice instead of shouting. There's a detachable audio cable, so you're not fully stranded if the battery dies.
Who should buy it: commuters, students, remote workers, and anyone who takes a lot of calls and wants multipoint pairing to jump between a laptop and a phone. The 32-ohm impedance and dynamic drivers are easy to drive from any phone.
Who should skip it: swimmers, heavy sweaters, and anyone who wants open-ear awareness while cycling or running. There is no IP rating on this sheet, no jacket, and no water-resistance claim. It's also on-ear rather than in-ear, so it doesn't seal like an earbud — if you want maximum isolation in a noisy cabin, that's a real limitation.
The 7Seven is a specialist, and it's honest about it. Bone conduction drivers sit outside your ear canal and send sound through your cheekbone, which is why the design is open-ear with a hook earpiece and a nickel-titanium alloy, plastic and silicone build. IP68 means it can be submerged in freshwater up to 1.5 m for up to 60 minutes — swimming, water workouts, poolside. Jabees is explicit that it's not for salt water or diving, so the ocean is out.
The second half of the pitch is the 32GB MP3 player. That's roughly 8,000 songs stored on the headphone itself, and you switch between Bluetooth streaming and local playback. For a swimmer this is the whole point: leave the phone in the locker, and you still have music. It's also why the battery figure is what it is — 6.5 hours average life with a 2.5-hour charge time over the included magnetic induction cable. That's a training-session battery, not a workday battery.
For calls and connectivity, there's a built-in mic and multipoint pairing, so you can hold two Bluetooth devices at once — phone plus tablet, or phone plus smartwatch — and switch between them. Bluetooth 6.0 and a 33-foot range cover normal indoor and outdoor use. Controls are simple push buttons, and there's no noise cancelling at all, which is the trade-off for the open-ear design: you hear traffic, teammates, and your surroundings.
Who should buy it: swimmers, runners, cyclists, gym-goers, and anyone who wants situational awareness plus a phone-free music option. The full silicone-wrapped body is meant to stay put during long sessions, and it ships with an adjustable strap, a charging cable, a manual, and a 12-month warranty.
Who should skip it: anyone who wants to block out an airplane cabin or a loud office. There's no ANC, no app, and bone conduction bass simply won't match a dynamic driver. If you mostly listen indoors at a desk, this is the wrong tool.
• Best for battery life → JBL Tune 670NC. Up to 70 hours average life vs 6.5 hours on the Jabees.
• Best for noise control → JBL Tune 670NC. Adaptive Noise Cancelling plus Ambient Aware and TalkThru; the 7Seven has no noise control at all.
• Best for swimming and water → Jabees 7Seven. IP68, freshwater submersion to 1.5 m for up to 60 minutes.
• Best for listening without a phone → Jabees 7Seven. The 32GB built-in player holds about 8,000 songs.
• Best for outdoor safety → Jabees 7Seven. Open-ear bone conduction keeps you aware of traffic and surroundings.
• Best for calls and app tuning → JBL Tune 670NC. VoiceAware, on-cup call and volume controls, and the JBL Headphones app.
• Best for commuting and long study or work sessions → JBL Tune 670NC. Foldable, padded, USB-C, with a detachable cable as backup.
• Multipoint pairing is a tie. Both connect two Bluetooth devices at once; the JBL runs Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio, the Jabees runs Bluetooth 6.0.
If I had to buy one, I'd take the JBL Tune 670NC. In my opinion it's the more versatile headphone: noise cancelling, a huge battery, app control, and multipoint pairing make it the one that fits most of most people's days — commute, calls, study, travel. I'd only steer you to the Jabees 7Seven if water is the deciding factor. If you swim or train outdoors and want music without your phone, the 7Seven does something the JBL simply cannot do, and it's worth owning as a second pair for exactly that. Check the current price on Amazon before you commit to either, since that's the one thing specs can't tell you.
how to pair multiple headphones
Multipoint pairing is a per-headphone feature, not a phone feature. Both the JBL Tune 670NC and the Jabees 7Seven support it, so you connect each one to two Bluetooth devices and the headphone handles the switching. You pair each device once, then the headphone keeps both connections live.
how to pair multiple headphones iphone
On iPhone, put the headphone in pairing mode, open Settings, then Bluetooth, and tap the device. Repeat for the second device you want connected. With multipoint on the JBL Tune 670NC or Jabees 7Seven, both stay linked and audio routes to whichever is playing.
how to pair multiple headphones on ipad
It works the same way on iPad: Settings, Bluetooth, select the headphone. If you want the headphone simultaneously connected to an iPhone and an iPad, pair it to both and let multipoint manage the handoff. The JBL's app-based Audio and Video modes are worth setting once you're connected.
how to pair multiple bluetooth headphones
You can't run two different headphone models as one output on a phone — pairing is one headphone to multiple devices, not multiple headphones to one device. So decide which single headphone you want: the JBL Tune 670NC for noise cancelling and battery, or the Jabees 7Seven for swimming and open-ear awareness.
