JBL Live 770NC: precise noise canceling
The JBL Live 770NC has 4 microphones that pick up ambient noise. These microphones create an anti-noise that reduces the ambient noise precisely. This means that these headphones reduce the noise of traffic properly, but also unexpected noise like the voice of a colleague who suddenly starts talking. Thanks to this, you'll barely hear anything around you.
JBL Tune 770NC: no precise noise canceling
The JBL Tune 770NC has proper noise canceling, just like the Live 770NC. You can easily close yourself off from your surroundings if you turn on noise canceling.

As a result, it doesn't reduce unexpected noise as well as with the JBL Live 770NC.
