JBL is mostly known for its portable Bluetooth speakers, but the brand also has a handful of high quality headphones—including the JBL Live 780NC. These wireless over-the-ear headphones support noise cancellation and have a lengthy battery life that can keep up with long travel weekends on a single charge. Plus, right now, Amazon has them on sale for 24% off. Normally, you’d find these headphones going for $250. However, a limited-time sale at Amazon is seeing the price drop by as much as $60, bringing them to a new low of just $190.
The JBL Live 780NC over-ear headphones can deliver hi-res audio either wired or wirelessly with great clarity and depth. They headphones support JBL Spatial Sound which is able to take any stereo content and make it sound 3D for greater immersion.
True Adaptive Noise Cancelling
These headphones from JBL are equipped with advanced noise cancellation, powered by six on-board microphones that are made to precisely capture and filter out environmental noises. These analyze sounds happening around you in your environments and are able to mute them with great accuracy. You’re left hearing only what it is you want to hear, be that a favorite album, audiobook, podcast, or simply a phone call you’ve taken over the JBL headphones.
On the topic of calls, the noise cancellation is able to work for not just what you hear, but also what anyone on the other end is hearing of you. The microphones are able to intelligently isolate your voice from any other noise happening in the background like traffic or wind. This way, everything you say comes across crystal clear to whoever you’re on the line with.
Battery life is superb. The JBL Live 780NC are able to last for a whopping 80 hours on the a single charge with ANC turned off, or up to 50 hours with ANC enabled. In cases where you’re battery has died but you want to use the headphones asap, a quick five minute charge will grant you with up to four more hours of listening time.
JBL has the Live 780NC over-ear headphones available in an array of color options. All of which are on sale, but not for the same level of discount. To save the biggest, choose either the black or the white which have been reduced down from $250 to just $190. If you want something a little more unique, you can choose either the blue, green or champagne styles. These are discounted down to $200, and while that’s not as steep as the black and white variants, it is only $10 more. You might find that extra worth paying for the color you like best.
