JBL Live 460NC - On-Ear Nc Headphones - Black

I absolutely didn't need a pair of headphones having many already to choose from but I really wanted a pair of ANC on ear headphones and the selection with ANC is pretty slim. So when the live 460nc went on sale, I decided to give them a go. As expected, the cans are much smaller than over the ear headphones and since they do fold up, they'll do very well on the go. That was the main reason for the purchase. I have a pair of over the ear cans (Anker Soundcore Q45) but I wanted something that would be smaller to travel with on airplanes. The ANC would be to help drown out the engine noise. As you can see in the pictures, they fold down nicely for storage. What I didn't know about was how well they integrate with Google Assistant. I'm still trying to figure this out but when I paired them to my phone, it actually asked me to download the companion app which I did. Through the app, I can change the equalizer and some other features that I have yet to fully explore. But I was rather surprised that it did things my pixel buds do. It'll read your messages by double tapping the left can or you can press and hold the left can and use assistant to do things. I'm still working on all the things I can do right from the headphones. The button controls are entirely on the right can and the charging port is on the left one. I don't think the right can has a touch feature like the left can does. There is a 2.5mm jack on the right can. The headband padding isn't very substantial but at the same time, I don't find these uncomfortable. They're quite comfy in fact. They won't be as comfy as the Anker over the ear but I don't think there will be a problem wearing these for hours. I've only tested them around the house for an hour at most and I got use to wearing them quite quickly. And, i have a big head. They didn't feel like they were squishing my head, something that is very very important. So far, I've only played audiobooks and a few songs from it but I've been pleased with what I'm hearing so far. But I'm also not very picky. So long as the ANC works well and I get good enough sound and it's comfy, I'm satisfied. I'll be testing these in a couple of months on a cross country flight. That will be a real test...5 hours on a plane. I'll update after that flight. Pro: Compact Comfy for on the ear ANC Google assistant integration Simple controls Cons: ANC not quite as good as over ear but that's expected. Not as comfy as over ear but again, as expected. Truthfully, if you have reasonable expectations on these I think you won't be disappointed. They're a solid mid range pair of headphones from a very good reputable company and they dish out good sound. I'll have my son test them the next time he comes back from school. He'll be a lot better at assessing the sound quality. In my eyes though, these are a great purchase for the purpose I got them for...travel. Update: Took them on my recent trip and used them for hours on the plane. The return flight was a 6 hr direct flight and I had them on the entire trip with no problems. I watched movies through the entire flight and didn't have any issues hearing the audio from the movies. I think there is better ANC in other headphones but that's also a factor of the design. I don't expect to get ANC that's better than over the ear headphones. But the comfort level was much better than i thought. I didn't run hot which I often do with other on ear or over the ear headphones. These were very comfortable for the flight. I didn't charge them after the flight there or back. I still have 70% life left according to my phone. So after 12 hours of use during flights to and from, I've still got 70%. That to me is really good. For the price you can get these for, I think they're great. I doubt they'll match up to anything like the Sony 1000XM-4 or 5s but they're also 1/3 the price on sale.

I am really satisfied with the *JBL Live 460NC*. First of all, the *sound quality* puts it at the top of my list of headphones I have ever bought. The music is clear, the bass is solid, and the vocals are well defined. You hear every detail. The noise canceling (*Noise Canceling*) surprised me — it blocks out outside noise without cutting off the music. It is perfect for use on public transportation or while working. You feel isolated, but still comfortable. *The battery is the star!* It lasts *over 40 hours* without needing to be charged. I have used it for days without a problem. And if you need it, it has *quick charge*: just 10 minutes of charging gives you 4 hours of music! The headphones are lightweight, don't press on your ears, and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The buttons are easy to use, and the Bluetooth connection is stable. The JBL app also allows you to adjust the sound to your liking. In short, if you want a quality headphone, with good battery life, excellent sound, and noise cancellation, the *JBL Live 460NC* is a good investment!

The helmet is really good, it plays well and holds a good charge.

They are smaller on the ears than the old JBLs I had that were in the same price bracket, and not as comfortable after an hour or so. But the sound quality, noise cancelling and battery are all great for the price. Hopefully they break in - the website suggested putting them over a basketball to loosen them up which has helped some. I do have a pretty big head for what its worth.

I bought a bunch of headsets that are <$100, and found these to be the best. They are great quality, great sound, and with some adjustments, it's the most comfortable headset out of all the ones I bought which is ultimately why I kept these ones. The problem i have with headsets over the ear is that my ears get hot very fast, and that's mostly because the headsets apply a lot of pressure to my ears. What's unique about this headset is that they are VERY FLEXIBLE. I literally stretched them all the way backward without breaking so that they are not as tight and got them to be just right as far as comfort. these would be great for people with larger heads. if you're not worried about comfort as much, then I'd recommend the Skullcandy Riff 2 which are cheaper and are great quality.

CAN’T BEAT THE PERFORMANCE, FEATURES AND QUALITY OF THESE JBL HEADPHONES AT THEIR PRICE POINT! PROS: • Sound quality- Amazing clarity, especially with the sound modes and equalizer settings that are available on the app • Comfort- Lightweight and foldable. Well padded earcups and headband, the clamping force, and lightweight. As a side sleeper, I’ve been able to fall asleep while wearing these headphones- that’s how comfortable they are! • Battery Life- SUPER LONG BATTERY LIFE on a single charge! I’ve worn them for several hours any given day and they never went below 60%. Also, they don’t take long to recharge at all! • Connectivity and Control- I’ve had no issues with Bluetooth pairing and the headphones' controls, including physical buttons/touch controls, and app-based controls are easy to follow and use. CONS: • Noise Cancelling: Effectively blocks out noise as long as it’s not too loud, so they’re great for use at the office. Also includes features such as ambient aware on the app. Nevertheless, the noise cancelling feature leaves a little more desired. For example, if the external noise is too loud, there is a noticeable hissing sound. All that said, I’m glad I purchased these headphones! I’ll update my review as time goes by.

Got these yesterday and I’m already loving them, wore them for about 8 hours straight.. and I check battery to see if JBL wasn’t lying about the battery, so I was expecting around 60% ish.. I look and 8-9 hours straight of using them, and THEYRE ONLY AT 87% BATTERY.. JBL pulls off with headphones and speakers, if you go for jbl’s earbuds, try and get cheaper ones, they will be better for the price. Sound quality is incredible for the price and the sound adjustments are perfect for people who like different sound. Bluetooth connects almost instantly, however AUX port is a bit testy. The noise cancellation works amazingly with the music play so the noise cancellation doesn’t interfere with the JBL sound (unlike my live beam 3’s and my tour pro 2’s). Definitely recommend these. Will update later.

So at first I really thought these headphones were great. I didn’t know it had a siri function but apparently it does and i low key think thats so useless maybe cause i dont use siri. But anyways, the buttons are pretty cool theres a weird switch on button to power it but it turns on within like a second. Im glad about that cause I hate it when it takes 5 years to turn on like the other 30$ jbl headphones. Also the sound is pretty good and its really noise canceling that was also a shock factor, I could barely hear people talking. Now onto its faults, Maybe because they are new headphones and you kinda have to break into them but they were tight on my ears/head like crazy. I got two massive headaches from it and i like to listen to music alot and for prolonged periods of time. Yeah its definetly not meant to be worn for a long time. Your ears get super sore too. Also a really annoying thing I hate is the fact that when you put them on a little tune plays and when you take them off a tune plays again and it shuts off your music. Got to be thee most unecesary feature jesus christ. Ill literally adjust the headphone on my head while listening to something and it will pause and for gods sake that tune does not have to play all the damn time! Sometimes ill wear it half off and it will pause the video and play THAT TUNE OMG. Okay let me calm down, other than the useless siri function, the tightness of the headphones ,and the automatic pause feature, id say they are okay. Ive had better headphones like i shouldve just stuck to sony but they legit wont connect to anything. Thats also a pro about these headphones, they connect to literally anything. It took me 3 months to get my sony headphones to connect to my laptop and i had to do that through charging it from my laptop. And I still never managed to connect it to my Ipad. These headphones managed to do that all within an instant like i didnt have to wait five years, they also connected to my schools laptops which again my sony COULD NOT DO!!! ugh

No noise cancelling and very poor product,constant interference and drop in sound quality,would have been better tying two shoe strings together

Super cute and does the job!

Ist hier richtig, es ist nicht mehr das neueste Modell, daher war es ein Schnäppchen unter 50. Klanglich gehört es zur oberen Mittelklasse. Nur die App spinnt rum.

Super qualité de son et réduction de bruit. Fonctionnalités très utiles. Taille très pratique à transporter et à mettre dans un sac à main. Je recommande à 100% !

Sonido aceptable, batería súper duradera y comodidad bastante aceptable. La cancelación no es total pero amortigua el sonido externo. Creo que está bien calidad precio.
