JBL Live 460NC wireless on-ear Noise Cancelling headphones with 50H battery, microphone for calls, lightweight and comfortable, and Alexa Built-in (Optimized for Android), iOS compatible (Black)

I’m really enjoying and liking this pair of headphones
I absolutely didn’t need a pair of headphones having many already to choose from but I really wanted a pair of ANC on ear headphones and the selection with ANC is pretty slim. So when the live 460nc went on sale, I decided to give them a go.As expected, the cans are much smaller than over the ear headphones and since they do fold up, they’ll do very well on the go. That was the main reason for the purchase. I have a pair of over the ear cans (Anker Soundcore Q45) but I wanted something that would be smaller to travel with on airplanes. The ANC would be to help drown out the engine noise. As you can see in the pictures, they fold down nicely for storage.What I didn’t know about was how well they integrate with Google Assistant. I’m still trying to figure this out but when I paired them to my phone, it actually asked me to download the companion app which I did. Through the app, I can change the equalizer and some other features that I have yet to fully explore. But I was rather surprised that it did things my pixel buds do. It’ll read your messages by double tapping the left can or you can press and hold the left can and use assistant to do things. I’m still working on all the things I can do right from the headphones.The button controls are entirely on the right can and the charging port is on the left one. I don’t think the right can has a touch feature like the left can does. There is a 2.5mm jack on the right can.The headband padding isn’t very substantial but at the same time, I don’t find these uncomfortable. They’re quite comfy in fact. They won’t be as comfy as the Anker over the ear but I don’t think there will be a problem wearing these for hours. I’ve only tested them around the house for an hour at most and I got use to wearing them quite quickly. And, i have a big head. They didn’t feel like they were squishing my head, something that is very very important.So far, I’ve only played audiobooks and a few songs from it but I’ve been pleased with what I’m hearing so far. But I’m also not very picky. So long as the ANC works well and I get good enough sound and it’s comfy, I’m satisfied. I’ll be testing these in a couple of months on a cross country flight. That will be a real test…5 hours on a plane. I’ll update after that flight.Pro: CompactComfy for on the earANCGoogle assistant integrationSimple controlsCons: ANC not quite as good as over ear but that’s expected.Not as comfy as over ear but again, as expected.Truthfully, if you have reasonable expectations on these I think you won’t be disappointed. They’re a solid mid range pair of headphones from a very good reputable company and they dish out good sound. I’ll have my son test them the next time he comes back from school. He’ll be a lot better at assessing the sound quality. In my eyes though, these are a great purchase for the purpose I got them for…travel.Update: Took them on my recent trip and used them for hours on the plane. The return flight was a 6 hr direct flight and I had them on the entire trip with no problems. I watched movies through the entire flight and didn’t have any issues hearing the audio from the movies. I think there is better ANC in other headphones but that’s also a factor of the design. I don’t expect to get ANC that’s better than over the ear headphones. But the comfort level was much better than i thought. I didn’t run hot which I often do with other on ear or over the ear headphones. These were very comfortable for the flight.I didn’t charge them after the flight there or back. I still have 70% life left according to my phone. So after 12 hours of use during flights to and from, I’ve still got 70%. That to me is really good.For the price you can get these for, I think they’re great. I doubt they’ll match up to anything like the Sony 1000XM-4 or 5s but they’re also 1/3 the price on sale.

great quality headphones. would not recommend for heavily pierced ears.
i got these for a white elephant gift exchange and my sister ended up taking them home. she loves them and wears them at work everyday. her only complaint is that the microphone is too good so when she’s on conference calls they can hear literally everything which isn’t even really a complaint at all.i borrowed them to test them out myself and the sound quality is great. all i have to say is that i wouldn’t recommend them to someone who’s heavily pierced like myself. the holes on the inside of the headphones are quite small, putting a lot of pressure on ear piercings. for reference i have 19 piercings (6 lobe, 7 cartilage, 2 forward helix, a tragus, a conch, a rook and a daith) and they begin to get sore after an hour and a half to two hours of use. my sister has 5 piercings ( triple lobe on one side and double lobe on the other) and she has no issue with soreness.

Good sound and inexpensive
I needed some earphones that provided a better listening experience for music as I walk my 100 flights of steps in our apartment building. These work so much better than the ones that hang on my ears. They stay on while I’m exercising.

MOST ANNOYING HEADPHONES I’VE EVER PURCHASED
Listen I LOVE JBL but whoever approved the dang Google Assistant/Auto Pause/Anytime you move an inch it makes a chime sound should be (fill in the blank).These headphones are so annoying and a prime example of someone trying to do too much, instead of just keeping things simple.Then you’re supposed to be able to go into the settings and change all this stuff that’s on there automatically. NO THANK YOU. Then you go in the app and it’s not even clear where or how to turn these things off.I eventually managed to turn off the auto pause but they still make this bleeping sound anytime i love my head. Like if I tilt my head to the side, bend down etc etc. The sound is great as you would expect from JBL, and it terms of functionality they are brilliant if you have been frozen into a statue and will not be moving for the duration you’re wearing them.

Great product. Long lasting battery. Great ear and head comfort. Arrived on time in a well wrapped packaging. Bought 2 pieces.

Amei o produto..

Ich habe sie jetzt seit 3 Tagen in Benutzung und bin sehr zufrieden und positiv überrascht, auch über den Preis, zumal sie im Laden doppelt so teuer sind. Ich kann nur “Danke Amazon” sagen für diesen Preis. Ich denke, da findet man nichts Besseres, einfach nur toll. Klare Kaufempfehlung.
