These Feature-Rich JBL Headphones Are Now on Sale for $110.
The JBL Live 780NC headphones, which were $110 off, are now on sale for $139.95 instead of $249.95, which, according to price tracking sites , is their lowest price ever. For this price, you get feature-rich wireless headphones with active noise cancellation, high-resolution audio support, and a battery life that will last for days on a commute or while working. They’re also designed for those who like to wear them for hours on end, thanks to adjustable metal sliders and earcups that swivel for a comfortable fit. The earcups also fold flat, making them easy to pack, though the included soft case offers less protection in your bag than a hard case.
As for audio, the 40mm drivers deliver a wide frequency range of 10Hz to 40kHz, while support for Bluetooth 6.0, LDAC, and LE Audio provides high-quality wireless listening with compatible devices. However, according to PCMag , the default settings are a bit too bass-heavy, so you might want to spend some time customizing the sound through the JBL app. It includes a 10-band equalizer, preset profiles, personalized sound settings, and virtual surround sound, allowing you to tailor the sound to your preferences.
The headphones also feature Bluetooth Multipoint for connecting two devices simultaneously, as well as a proximity sensor that pauses playback when the headphones are removed. Physical controls handle power, pairing, and volume, while a touch surface lets you control playback and summon your phone’s voice assistant. Regarding battery life, JBL claims 80 hours of playback with active noise cancellation turned off, or up to 50 hours with ANC enabled. This should be enough for long flights, extended workdays, or multiple trips between charges, although the noise cancellation itself isn’t as effective as some more expensive competitors. The headphones are also not water-resistant, so they’re not the best choice for workouts or trips in rainy weather.
