Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into a source device. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Creative Zen Hybrid are one of those. With a detachable cable, JBL Tune 760NC too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
Creative Zen Hybrid are foldable, which makes them more portable. Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space. The JBL Tune 760NC too can fold up, foldable headphones can reduce their size by 60% to 70% when folded.
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement, but remember that every cable based on the conducting material used has a certain amount of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance. How much depends on the length and construction. Creative Zen Hybrid comes with a 1.2meters cable.
Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Creative Zen Hybrid have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. JBL Tune 760NC with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
Creative Zen Hybrid have stereo speakers, what this means is that Creative Zen Hybrid's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both JBL Tune 760NC and Creative Zen Hybrid have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Creative Zen Hybrid allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. JBL Tune 760NC too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The Creative Zen Hybrid sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the JBL Tune 760NC isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Creative Zen Hybrid's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. JBL Tune 760NC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Creative Zen Hybrid's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
JBL Tune 760NC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Creative Zen Hybrid driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. JBL Tune 760NC driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both JBL Tune 760NC, and Creative Zen Hybrid similar in how loud their sound gets
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound. Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms.
Creative Zen Hybrid's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. JBL Tune 760NC's impedance is 32Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Creative Zen Hybrid have this type of magnet.
If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time. The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Creative Zen Hybrid's battery life is 37 hours
JBL Tune 760NC's battery life is 50 hours.
Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your device, no longer plays for long like it used to.
Creative Zen Hybrid have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your headphones. JBL Tune 760NC too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your headphones, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. Creative Zen Hybrid's battery power is 500mAh, more battery power can be an indication of longer battery life. A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.
Creative Zen Hybrid's battery can be recharged and used over again. The JBL Tune 760NC too have a rechargeable battery. Creative Zen Hybrid can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement.
The JBL Tune 760NC also can be used wirelessly
2.4GHz wireless is used for devices such as headsets such as the Creative Zen Hybrid, keyboards, and mice similar to Bluetooth but with a proprietary radio frequency. It typically offers better performance than Bluetooth, with low latency and good stability. Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. The Creative Zen Hybrid can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
Creative Zen Hybrid have only 4 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. The JBL Tune 760NC microphones are only 1. Creative Zen Hybrid use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound.
Especially useful in noisy environments. Creative Zen Hybrid support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic.
There is a control panel on the Creative Zen Hybrid body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to. The JBL Tune 760NC too have a control panel on them. Creative Zen Hybrid can be used as a headset.
