Best For
The Sony MDR-EX255AP and JBL Tune 310C USB are both wired in-ear headphones, but they target slightly different listening setups. Sony uses a traditional 3.5 mm connector, 12 mm drivers and a lightweight 3 gm design, making it a practical choice for smartphones and other devices with a headphone jack. JBL uses USB-C connectivity, 9 mm dynamic drivers and adds useful EQ presets for Default, Bass and Vocal modes. It also supports Hi-Res Audio and JBL Pure Bass Sound. For users with modern USB-C devices, the JBL is more versatile, while the Sony offers a lighter design and higher sensitivity.
Verdict
The JBL Tune 310C USB is the better overall choice for users who want USB-C connectivity, customizable sound and a more feature-rich wired listening experience. Its EQ presets, Hi-Res certification and Pure Bass tuning make it particularly appealing for music and gaming. The Sony MDR-EX255AP is better suited to users who prefer a lightweight 3.5 mm wired earphone with larger 12 mm drivers and a compact design. Your device compatibility should be the deciding factor.
