JBL Vibe Beam
Score: 71/100
Nothing Ear (a) White
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Nothing Ear (a) in white offers the same transparent design, hybrid ANC and long battery life as the black version, but shares the same compromises in sound balance and lack of wireless charging.
JBL Vibe Beam offers a respectable 32-hour battery life, fast charging and solid IP54 protection, but lacks ANC and advanced connectivity features.
