DESIGN
JBL T450BT
Comparing the two headphones, the JBLT450BT comes with stereo speakers whereas the JBL T460BT does not. Neither has a detachable cable nor are they sweat resistant which can be considered a disadvantage since many people like to use wireless headphones while jogging. The 460BT version is slightly on the heavier side coming in at around 300gm whereas the 450BT version is almost half the weight as its predecessor and hence it is easier to carry around. Both headphones can be folded and hence can be carried around with you on your travels quite comfortably. Also, a comfortable on-ear form is a feature that you might enjoy for both these headphones.
