The JBL Tune 230 NC TWS is the perfect everyday driver that focuses on the warm side of music. Its sound staging and appropriate bass are on point. The music is more focused on the mid frequencies, which means a balanced amount of instruments and vocals.

SkullCandy Push Active and Push Ultra True Wireless
A True Wireless with an appropriate dynamic driver is a tough find. The Skullcandy Push Active and Push Ultra have nearly identical performance, with an emphasis on bass. This also focuses on the mid frequencies. They both have the same voice control features. The difference is in the design. The Push Active is more of a daily use device and the Push Ultra can be used roughly. The Active has an in-ear design while the Ultra has an over-ear. The Active with the case can go up to 34 hours and the playback up to 10 hours, which is 4 hours longer than Pus Ultra. But the Push Ultra is water resistant, which makes it perfect for heavy use.
