Comfortable, battery lasts
Battery life is really good as I haven’t had to charge them yet, they charge with a 3.5 jack to a USB, very good at canceling noise & comfortable to wear

Great ANC and Sound Quality for Daily Travel
I really like these headphones. They are easy to use and comfortable for everyday listening. One of my favourite features is the touch controls on the right earcup. You can tap to pause music and use other functions without taking your phone out. The JBL app is also very useful because you can easily see and manage the headphones, adjust settings, and check the battery level. The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) is excellent. I use these headphones when travelling to university, and the ANC works brilliantly on trains. It cuts out a lot of background noise, and I no longer get the uncomfortable feeling in my ears when the train goes through tunnels. Another big plus for me is that I use a Sony Xperia phone with a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack. The JBL Live 680NC comes with an audio cable, so I can also listen in wired mode when I want to. In my experience, this gives even better audio quality and is useful when I want to save battery. The sound quality is very good, and the battery life is very good, it last long with my daily commute and university days. One thing to keep in mind is that these are on-ear headphones, not over-ear headphones. They sit on your ears rather than around them. They are comfortable for normal use, but after several hours of wearing them, you may start to feel some discomfort on the outside of your ears. Overall, I am very happy with the JBL Live 680NC. They are easy to use, sound great, have excellent ANC for commuting, and offer the flexibility of both wireless and wired listening. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good pair of everyday headphones!

Fantastic worth the money
I’ve been using my JBL Live 680NC headphones for a while now and they’ve quickly become my go-to pair. I really like the sound they produce. Everything feels clear and well balanced, with enough bass to make music enjoyable without overpowering the vocals. What has impressed me most is the noise cancelling. It’s incredibly effective at blocking out background noise, and I’ve found it particularly useful when I’m travelling or just trying to relax at home. Once the music is playing, it’s easy to forget about everything going on around me. They’re also comfortable enough to wear for a few hours without feeling uncomfortable, and the battery lasts well between charges. For me, these headphones offer exactly what I was looking for. They sound great, the noise cancelling works exceptionally well, and they’re comfortable enough for everyday use. I’m very happy with my purchase and would happily recommend them.

Quality headphones
I got these headphones as an alternative to earbuds due to me struggling to get earbuds to stay in. The headphones were comfortable and stayed in position. The buttons were easy to access and the quick tap feature was very handy. I like that the ear pieces folded in to make them more portable. Overall very good quality . I tried the noise cancelling setting and this did work with only a bit of an hum occasionally. The battery life is amazing. I have only charged once for 10 mins and used them for several hours. Would definately recommend

Great all rounder headphones!
I’ve been really impressed with the JBL Live 680NC headphones. They’re comfortable to wear for longer periods and don’t feel too heavy, which is great when listening to music or podcasts throughout the day, especially when i do my cleaning job, I am working for about 3 hours, constantly on the go! The sound quality is really good, with plenty of bass without it being too overpowering, and the noise cancelling is useful when I want to block out background noise which is great for my walks out and about parks etc. I also like how easy they are to connect and use, and the battery life is a big plus as I don’t constantly have to remember to charge them. Overall, they’re a great all-round pair of headphones for everyday listening, whether I’m at home, travelling or just out and about.

Great set of headphones!
Been using these for a little while now and I can honestly say they’re a great set of headphones! Personally wouldn’t say they’re 100% noise cancelling however they are good at blocking majority outside noise out. Clear and crisp sound too which I found perfect for watching my paranormal investigations. My autistic son also used them to watch YouTube and the noise cancelling side seemed to work very well for him! They’re very comfortable and have a lovely modern look. Would recommended buying for the price.

Amazing
If you’re looking for comfortable headphones with excellent noise cancellation and powerful, pleasing sound, the JBL Live 680NC really impresses. ✨ ANC 2.0 – highly effective at blocking out noise, whether you're traveling, on a plane, or just at home trying to shut out your surroundings. 🎶 Sound – classic JBL: powerful, dynamic, and with satisfying bass, without ever sounding "flat." 📞 Calls – features a 4-microphone system for clearer voice quality during conversations. 🔋 Up to 80-hour battery life – a huge plus, especially so you don't run out of power while using them. 🎧 They’re also lightweight and comfortable, with ear cups that fit snugly around the ears. My first impression? Highly versatile – great for music, podcasts, travel, and everyday use. Plus, that matte black finish looks really sleek.

Cool sleek super fab headphones noise cancelling i
I got these over a week ago to test they are absolutely amazing I use them for every day use and at work I have ADHD and these are perfect especially the noice cancelling feature that allows me to get my tasks done without distractions
Sonnyb, Wolverhampton west midlands
Brilliant sound.
Great set of headphones, one of the best sounding that I’ve used. The app is easy to use and change settings. The sound deadening works great in noisy environments. The only downside is they do feel a bit too small and seem to move about a bit while exercising other then that amazing.

Great feeling headphones
I recently purchased the jbl headphones. Wow im impressed they fit so well, they dont feel heavy on my head. I did have to download an app to use them, the app showed me how to work it. I was able to really get a feel of the noise cancelling effects it has. They have already installed white noise and I can put a timer on that to fall asleep too. The battery is long lasting so at the moment im fulling charging once a week. They are easily fit in my handbag making them portable and able to take anywhere. The sound is so clear when I listen to my music i really get to enjoy music a great way.
