Excellent quality
I bought these headphones for an overseas trip, the sound quality is excellent with punchy bass that makes music feel lively without losing too much detail. The noise-cancelling feature is useful for blocking out background noise when travelling, working or relaxing, while the comfortable design makes them suitable for long trips such as mine. Battery life is another important feature, making them practical for everyday use without constantly needing to recharge. The wireless connectivity all makes them convenient to use with a phone, tablet or laptop. I particularly like the usb-c jack, this means you don’t have to purchase an extra cable. Overall, the JBL Live 780NC headphones look like a solid option for anyone wanting good-quality wireless audio, useful noise cancellation and everyday comfort. They are worth considering for commuting, travelling or simply enjoying your favourite music at home.

Great sound and very comfortable
I’ve really enjoyed using the JBL Live 780NC headphones.The sound quality is very good.They are not extremely loud but the sound is clean and well balanced.I can hear the vocals clearly while the bass has good depth without sounding too heavy or unclear.The noise cancelling is also one of the features I like most.It works really well and I like that you can adjust the noise cancelling level through the JBL app either manually or automatically.Comfort is probably my favourite part of these headphones. I’ve worn them for long periods without getting any pain or uncomfortable marks and the ear cushions feel very soft and comfortable.The Bluetooth connection has been reliable too.It connects quickly every time and I haven’t experienced any dropouts.The JBL app is also excellent especially the personal sound settings.I’m very happy with them.

I’ve had the JBL Live 780NC for a few weeks now and I’m really happy with them. The sound is great, especially the bass, and the noise cancelling makes a noticeable difference when I’m out or travelling. They’re comfortable to wear for a long time and the battery seems to last ages. I also like that the controls are simple and easy to use. I use them pretty much every day and so far I’ve got no complaints. They feel well made and, for the price, I’d definitely recommend

Light, comfortable and great features
I'm really happy with this purchase. The headphones are coming with a soft bag for storage and they can be used either wireless via Bluetooth or wired with the provided cable USB-C to 3.5mm phone/PC jack. They are light and comfortable and fit well on my head. The controls are very easy to use - volume up/down on the left side and the On/off Bluetooth slider button and the Noise cancelling mode button on the right side. Also a touch play/stop on the right side where you just tap your hand on the right JBL logo and it will play or pause something tou watch or listen, and I absolutely loved that feature and never had another pair that had that feature. Another great functionality feature is when you take them off while watching something it will automatically pause and when you put them back on it plays, love it! The battery life is decent and I was able to use it via Bluetooth fore more than 3 days on a PC and they also can be connected to another device like your phone at the same time. Sound wise they're great I find the sound nice and clear and music sounds great. The ambient NC mode is great if you need to be aware of your surroundings and the full NC mode blocks quite well, it isn't the best NC I've tried but for this price is doing a really good job!

Really happy with the purchase
I’m personally very happy with this purchase. I used the JBL Tune 770NC for quite a while, but overall, I think the JBL Live 780NC is much better. It’s very comfortable to wear, and I can easily keep it on for the whole working day. I usually listen to music while I’m working, but I also spend quite a lot of time talking to AI. These headphones work really well for both, which makes them very convenient for me. The sound quality is good, and the noise cancellation is also pretty decent. When I’m listening to music, I can barely hear anything else around me. The build quality seems very good as well, and they feel comfortable and well made. I’ve bought quite a few headphones over the years, but so far, these are definitely one of the best pairs I’ve owned. I think I’ll be using them for quite a long time. I'm not sure about the battery, Because I mainly use it with a computer, and I will charge it whenever I do not use it.

Great set of headphones with good enhancements
Had these headphones for a while and they are extremely comfortable to wear and on the ears. The padding is comfortable to wear for long periods without any discomfort. The battery life is great on these, getting 60+ hours without the ANC on is great. Sound Quality is great on the headphones with clear bass and vocals. The Multipoint connection also great on these as it connects seamless with the work laptop and personal phone to attend the work meetings and enjoy the personal music without changing the headphones. Personify is great feature that you can tune the headphones in the APP to be suitable for your ears, I can feel the difference in the music once this feature is turned on. A great set of headphones to buy.

Great product, does what it says on the tin.
I was looking for a product that would be multi functional for use at both work and home. I had previously been using my air buds, which after a while stopped giving me the clarity on sound and noise cancellation. After looking at several brands, I chose the JBL780NC. I have to say I am extremely happy with head sets, particularly the battery life, the comfort the sound quality and ease of use.

JBL LIVE - 780NC - A great purchase!
I have had these headphones for a few weeks now and have put them through a good test. I have been wearing them quite a lot around the gym and also while out and about. I have not had the chance to test them out while travelling via plane yet. I am impressed with the comfort. They are extremely comfortable, and I have wore them for 3 hour sessions and I can forget I am wearing them I have tried other headphones for the gym before - and they tend to 'slip' a lot more. Especially for runs & when you lay down. This is not the case with those. The Noise cancellation also seems really good. I wear prescription glasses - so I find that the little gap that they create with the pads make them slightly less efficient, but still very good. The battery life has been fantastic. I don't have to think about charging them very often at all - this will be of no concern at all for you. Now, the sound. They sound really good, and in my opinion, a good value for the money. There are more high end headphones out there - but these provide a good enough bass and clarity. The headphones come in a little bag that you can use for portability purposes - but the headphones themselves fold up nicely - making them quite compact and easy to travel with.

Versatile headphones for everyday use
These headphones look smart and understated. They paired with my phone quickly, and the controls were easy to get used to. The sound is clear and detailed, with plenty of bass without overpowering the vocals. I briefly tested the sound adjustments in the JBL app, although I haven’t explored all the settings in much depth yet. The noise cancelling makes a noticeable difference, particularly during my daily train commute to work. They fit comfortably around my ears and feels snug without being too tight. They’re slightly heavier than basic headphones, but I can still wear them for long periods without discomfort. The battery life has been super so far, and a short charge gives plenty of additional listening time. They also fold flat, so they’re easy to carry in my backpack. On the whole, they’re a versatile pair of everyday headphones, with the quality I’ve come to expect from JBL

Great build and sound quality, though ANC could be
I upgraded recently to the JBL Live 780NC from the Tune 780NC, and it was definitely worth the jump. The build quality feels much more premium, they are comfortable for long listening sessions, and the battery life is outstanding. The physical buttons are intuitive and easy to access without fumbling around. Sound quality is rich, clear, and well-balanced. My only real drawback is the Active Noise Cancellation. While it dulls background hums, it doesn’t completely block out chatter and louder ambient noise in a busy office or loud environment. Aside from that, they’re fantastic everyday headphones. Highly recommended!
