JBL Tune 780NC Wireless Over-Ear Headphones - Black

Noise cancel is great

Decided to get some headphones for an upcoming longhaul flight. I normally use earbuds but they can get a little uncomfortable long term, safe to say these were exceptional. Fit over my ears and were good for extended periods, most surprising was how good the noise cancellation is. Actually cut down so much of the plane drone i couldnt believe it. Its still fairly new but the battery life is also great!

Great All Round Headphones at a Great Price

I got these a few weeks ago and genuinely love the sound. I use these for all different purposes. I listen to music and watch shows on my way in to work on the train and these drown out the background noise extremely well. So much so that i've been close to missing my stop as I was immersed in my own world. The bass is very deep for a pair of headphones and clarity is top notch. Conversations can be heard crisply, without the need to turn up the volume. Secondly i've been using these as my default Teams Video and Audio Call device. Again the sound is very crisp at my end and drowns out any conversations going on around me. I've not been at the receiving end of the microphone but i've not had any complaints from others so would assume this is working well. The design is very lightweight i can wear them for an hour without feeling i need a break. They can be folded easily with the hinges and fit snugly in my bag. Battery life has been excellent so far and have only needed to charge them once. They have lasted 3 weeks before a charge was required. Finally its worth downloading the app to adjust some settings such as syncing video and making and customisations suit your needs. The app is easy to use and havent had an issue so far. All in all I doubt you will get any better headphones at this price point.

All-Day Comfort, All-Day Bass

As someone who loves geeking out over audio gear, I usually obsess over the numbers. But with the JBL Tune 780NC, the day-to-day experience is what really won me over. These have quickly become my headphones for basically everything. When you put them on, the first thing you notice is the comfort, there is excellent padding around most of the head band. In terms of sound, they have that classic, punchy JBL bass, but it never gets muddy or overpowering. It just makes listening genuinely fun, whether you're relaxing or needing an upbeat soundtrack to get things done. The noise cancellation is a good. Whether I'm trying to focus in a loud environment or just want to tune out the low rumble of a commute, it creates a wonderfully quiet bubble. It occasionally lets really sharp, sudden noises slip through which is the only reason I'm holding back that last star, but overall, it lets you easily get lost in your music. What truly surprised me, though, is how effortless they are to live with. I can seamlessly jump from watching a video on my laptop to taking a call on my phone without fiddling with any settings. And the battery life is amazing, I can go weeks without even thinking about finding a charger. They are incredibly lightweight and fold up perfectly to toss in a bag. While the plastic finish doesn't scream "premium," the sheer comfort and fuss-free reliability make the 780NC a brilliant daily driver.

Great comfort and battery but fiddly button layout

After a month of daily use, I'm really pleased with these headphones. I mainly use them for family video editing on my iPad, and they excel in the areas that matter most: comfort and battery life. They are light enough to wear for hours, and the battery seems to last forever. The JBL app is also a great feature for tweaking the sound. My only real complaint is the layout of the physical buttons on the earcup. The design and placement aren't very intuitive, so I constantly find myself just using my phone or iPad to change the volume or settings rather than messing with the buttons. If you don't mind controlling things from your device, these are a fantastic buy.

Amazing

My daughter and I both use these headphones and we have been really impressed with them. My daughter is autistic and struggles with loud environments, so the noise cancelling has been amazing for helping block out background noise when we are out and about They help her stay calmer and more comfortable without shutting everything out completely. The sound quality is very good, and one of the biggest improvements compared to our last headphones is that there’s barely any sound leakage. With our old pair, we could hear the music or whatever was playing from across the room, but these keep the sound contained much better which is great in public. We both also use them for calls and video chats and the microphones are surprisingly clear, even when there’s noise around us. They connect quickly to our devices, the battery lasts for days between charges and they are lightweight enough to wear for long periods without becoming uncomfortable. The foldable design is also great because they fit easily into a bag when we are travelling or in my gym bag These have been a really good purchase for both of us and especially helpful for my daughter because of how well they reduce outside noise but still sound good.

Honest review

I've had these for about 3 weeks now and honestly they're really good. Sound: The bass is punchy but not overpowering. I listen to everything from hip hop to acoustic stuff and it all sounds clean. No distortion even at high volume which is nice. Noise cancelling: Works suprisingly well. I tested them with the washing machine running and could barely hear it. Also blocks out traffic noise and chatter in cafes really effectively. Makes a big difference when trying to focus. Comfort: I wear glasses and most headphones hurt after a while but these are fine. The ear cups are soft enough that they don't dig in. Can wear them for hours working without any discomfort. Battery: Charged them once when I got them and still going strong. They claim 35 hours and honestly I believe it. Havent had to charge again yet. Only downside: The buttons are a bit hard to find when you're wearing them. The controls are on the ear cup and sometimes I have to feel around to find the right button especially when walking. Not a huge deal but takes some getting used to. Overall: For what you pay these are solid headphones. Great sound, good noise cancelling and amazing battery life. Would recommend.

Sound performance could be better

As a whole, I was not disappointed by the performance of the JBL headphones. They are sturdy enough, have suitably comfortable padding, especially around the ear, and quick and effective Bluetooth pairing. The sound, however, is not up to par some with other headphones within the price bracket. For the price they’re at, I would expect better. It appears you are paying a pretty premium for the JBL brand. They are convenient and durable, and the average consumer will, I’m sure, find the sound quality suitable. However, they are definitely unsuitable for someone of higher audio taste and I feel, somewhat extortionate in their pricing. If you're buying these JBLs, you're paying for convenience and reliability at somewhat of a compromise on the audio.

Unfortunately, not as good as they look.

I bought the JBL Live 780NC headphones for my elderly husband thinking it would offer him an easy, laid back way of enjoying his sports, music or following the new. My choice was based on what is said to be the impressive features, for example a long battery life, noise cancellation, so no background noise to disturb or distract. Even the battery lasts up to 80 hours, so no wires to connect to the power source – a complete dream. Overall impression, a great bit of kit for a reasonable amount of money, however, I would agree with the online reviews in regard to the bass, yep a bit overpowering, and the headphones are really not made for wearing for extending periods. So, in summary, these look good, feel good, but on this occasion the positives do not outweigh the disadvantages. Disappointing.
