Best purchase
I couldn’t be more happy than I’m now with my new headphones. Absolutely in love. Before those, I was using in ear headphones and those just keep falling out from my ears. So annoying. But this those!! They are so comfortable, they look beautiful, fit nicely over my ears. And I’m really impressed with the noise cancelling feature. Zero external noise. Just me, my headphones and my thoughts. Amazing. Great battery life and also app available with options to tweak the sound. Overall, really good quality headphones. I couldn’t recommend more!

Good Quality. Great Sound & Noise Cancelling & App
These are great quality headphones. The noise cancellation is great. They connect easily and are easy to control. The app is a nice touch especially with the ambience asmr noise feature. This is my second pair of JBL have the tour ones originally and honestly sound quality is great and they have all the features you could need. I did find these are slightly more uncomfortable than the Tour Ones but not terribly uncomfortable. I would defo buy again.

Good performance
I am quite happy with the performance of these JBL headphones. The sound quality is impressive that makes listening to music and watching videos enjoyable for me. I like that I can connect two devices same time and easily switch between my phone and laptop. The controls are easy to use on the earcups and easily helps you adjust the volume, play pause and manage calls. One of my favourite feature is battery life which is excellent and also quick charging is handy when I am short on time. The noise ccancellation works well at reducinh background noise but it does not block out noise completely when I am in busy places. The microphone also seems to pick up background noise during call which needs improvement. I like that its foldable and comes with a soft cloth pouch which makes it easy to carry and the design also looks modern. I feel that if the padding aroud ear cups were thicker and softer, it would be more comfortable to wear for a long period but I really like the performance overall, it offers plenty of useful features.

Fastest connection by far!
The audio quality on these are superb - crystal clear and excellent sound. Whether you're listening to music, an audiobook, or on a call, it's an all rounder that captures audio well. The speed of the Bluetooth connection is superb! That alone gets 5 stars from me. I've never had headphones that connected faster, and I own a few JBL headphones 😂 These are quite light when worn, so not as heavy as the Club One or some from the other ranges. Nonetheless, it doesn't skimp on sound quality. 2 gripes with it - though one's not as serious as the other. Lighter gripe - the noise cancelling is not faultless. I don't mean the feature on the headphones - that does a great job for you the wearer. I mean for the other person at the end of the call if you're using it in a noisy environment. Rather than isolating those sounds, it appears to boost your personal voice level as opposed to suppressing the noise around you. This only matters if you are using it heavily for calls in a noisy environment. My heavier gripe is that it tends to pinch when worn for an extended period of time. It was okay for an hour or so, but after that, it became uncomfortable 😣 Absolutely gutted, cause it knocked it down to 4 stars for me. Comfort is something I'm not willing to compromise on, so that drops this down my list of fave headphones. If you want excellent features at a cost of the price, and won't wear these for an extended period of time, then these headphones are brilliant.

Impressive
Really happy with these headphones! The sound quality is brilliant and the noise cancelling is great, especially when you just want to switch off from everything around you. I tend to use mine mainly whilst commuting to work which can be pretty noisy at times. The noise cancelling worked pretty well and allows me to fully enjoy my podcasts or music without being distracted by background noise. I love that you can use the JBL app to adjust the sound to your own preference. There are loads of settings to play around with, which is a nice bonus. They’re also really comfortable to wear, even for longer periods, and I love that they fold away easily. The quick charging is another big plus, and the battery life is really impressive. My teenage daughter loves them too and she’s just as impressed as I am! I might have to purchase another pair as I don’t want to share mine 😁 Overall, a really good pair of headphones with some great features. Definitely recommend!

Comfortable headphones with great sound
One of the things I really like about these headphones is the shape of the ear cups. They’re not perfectly round and are slightly tilted which makes them fit the ears more naturally. As a side sleeper, I often struggle with earrings getting in the way even though mine are just small, delicate hoops but with these headphones, I’ve had absolutely no issues. The noise cancelling and ambient aware features are pretty good, too. They’re not perfect but they do the job well enough and personally I was happy with them. I also love how easy these are to use. You can pause the music with just a tap on the right ear cup and the volume buttons are super conveniently placed on the left side. One feature I found especially handy is that the music pauses automatically when you slide the headphones down. Perfect when you’re out walking and suddenly need to talk to someone, like a stranger with a dog who wants to let their dog say hello to yours. No need to fiddle around with buttons or dig out your phone. The sound quality is great as well. I listened to all kinds of music, from love ballads and commercial hits to heavier stuff with screamed lyrics (you know, the kind where you can barely figure out what they’re singing 😅) and I was happy with how everything sounded. My only CON is the synthetic leather. I noticed a few traces of my foundation on the sides where the headphones probably touched my temples. It wasn’t a lot and it’s definitely not a deal breaker for me, but it’s worth mentioning. Overall, I’m really happy with these headphones. They’re comfortable, sound good and have some useful features that make everyday life a little easier.

Great sounding and best noise cancelling
These JBL 780NC headphones are actually really nice. They block out most background noise nicely, so I can listen to music or focus easily. They’re comfy to wear for a long time, fold small to carry around, and the battery lasts ages. Calls come through clear too really happy with them!

Cracking pair of headphones
The JBL headphones are a wonderful example of a mid level over ear phone that feels comfortable and functional. The headphones fit beautifully and have lovely contact with the ears but also feel solid on the head. The sound quality is very high with enhances the media experience. The noise cancelling/ambient noise feature allows total submersion into the sounds of if surroundings dictate an awareness of noise around you can be maintained. These headphones have fantastic battery life, good build quality and an overall slickness in there look and design. Headphones are super fast linking with any Bluetooth device and have responsive, simple buttons mounted on the side of the ear pieces.
