JLab Studio ANC vs Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H8 (2018)

The JLab Studio ANC makes for a good, if unremarkable, On-Ear Headphone for people with a $40 budget.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H8i (2018), however, is merely mediocre at its $303 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $40 and $290 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
