The JBL Live Free NC+ TWS True Wireless are in-ears with active noise cancelling (ANC).
These headphones have a neutral sound profile that you can tweak to your liking using their companion app's parametric EQ or presets. They have a comfortable, breathable fit and are also stable enough for running or working out.
Unfortunately, their ANC does a sub-par overall job of blocking out noise around you, and it performs very similarly to their passive isolation abilities. Some users may find their 5.4-hour battery life a bit short, too, although their carrying case supplies roughly two additional charges if you need it.
