These JBL Headphones Are Under $80 on Black Friday
Available in black, blue and white (now $79.95, down from $129.95, its lowest price ever), the JBL Tune 770NC headphones feature large, soft ear cups and a padded headband that, reportedly making them easy to wear for long periods of time. The controls on the right earpiece, including the multi-function button for activating the voice assistant, are said to be responsive but may take some getting used to. Warning: If you prefer Alexa to be the default assistant on your device, you’ll need to open the Alexa app for voice commands to work (this isn’t a big deal, but it’s potentially annoying). Additionally, the JBL doesn’t come with a carrying case or bag, which can be a disappointment if you travel frequently.
In terms of sound quality, the Tune 770NC headphones deliver JBL’s signature powerful bass and crisp highs with crisp low-end response. And thanks to the 40mm dynamic drivers, the bass remains punchy and rich without distortion even at high volumes (according to PCMag’s review ), making them suitable for bass-heavy tracks or podcasts that need a bit of low-frequency sound. end of heat. You can also customize the device’s 10-band equalizer through the JBL Headphones app to create your own sound profiles. The ANC on the Tune 770NC is decent (for the price) but doesn’t redefine the category. It handles low-frequency rumbles like engine noise reasonably well, but it reportedly struggles a little harder in busy environments like a noisy cafe. If top-tier noise cancellation is a priority, the Anker Soundcore Space One headphones, currently $69 (down from $99), may be a better fit at a similar price.
The Tune 770NC headphones combine the best of both worlds, supporting wired and wireless modes, as well as ANC and Ambient Aware features available when connected. However, you won’t be able to use Bluetooth in wired mode (it will automatically reconnect to the last Bluetooth device that was nearby when you disconnected it). In terms of battery, JBL claims you get about 44 hours with ANC on and up to 70 hours with it off. While these numbers may vary depending on how loud you like your music, it’s safe to say that you won’t have to charge them daily.
