Rated 2 out of 5 by David D from Poor performance First off, I want to say that these headphones are decent. I had higher hopes for them. Ive been able to use them for a total of 15 minutes before the mid and low speakers in the left ear, and the low speaker in the right ear blew. I'm honestly pretty dissatisfied with them. JBL in recent years has been on the higher end of consumer speaker products. It could just be a "bad" pair but it is discouraging to try a new pair. I will remain hopeful that the exchanged pair will perform as expected. There was a firmware update available but after updating there was still no change. I will update the review and star rating once I've received a replacement pair. Just for the record, the song they blew while playing was Mama I'm Coming Home by Ozzy. Its bassy but nothing deep enough to cause that even if they were at full volume which they should be able to handle anyway.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beaglemommy from Great sound easy to use Two weeks of use and I love these headphones. I am technologically challenged yet these are easy to use with Google and I know I have not yet learned all of the features. The sound quality is great (I have a surround sound system and high expectations), noise canceling effective enough to not hear beagle barking and I love features like how my movie will pause when I pull off the headphones. My only complaint is that the buttons on the headphones are so small and feel the same so my old fat fingers are not working well with them, removed a star in rating. But, it did lead me to use automated features so that is good. These headphones would make a great gift, especially for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. Love the blue color, we bleed blue in KY.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Megan0314 from Amazing sound Loved the sound and is noise cancelling which is a plus. The headphones fit a bit snug and I turned them off twice by accident when trying to adjust them on my head because of the location of the power and volume buttons. Sound is great and my Bluetooth found the device quickly and easily so no set up and they came charged. Seems to have a great battery life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Happy Ears from Excellent, you will not be sorry Just received my JBL LIVE660nc headphones today and could not be happier. It may be a bit quick for a review, but I can honestly say I have had these on for several hours now and cannot say enough positive things about them! First, let me back up a bit. Packaging was great as usual. Headphones came with directions, charging cable, direct connect cable and padded carrying pouch. See Pics Easy to connect via Bluetooth and start enjoying listening to, but make sure you take the time to download the JBL headphone app. The LIVE660's sound good right out of the box, but with the app, you can take your listening pleasure to a completely different level. You can not only customize your headphone user settings, but change the default equalizer or create your very own customized equalizer setting. The sound quality is exceptional, crisp and clear with nice bass. The head phones are lightweight, comfortable and easy to use. I would not hesitate to recommend these. A great pair of headphones!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Dschwebel from Bass issues If you want to listen to bass heavy music, these are not the headphones for you. I bought one pair then returned it thinking they were broken due to how they sounded but after getting another pair I’ve realized that that’s just the way they are. They have a very low threshold for the amount of bass they can produce without distorting the rest of the sound in the song. The features are great but when I buy a pair of 200 dollar headphones I expect to be able to listen to my music on full volume with no issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by The Matt Kane from Solid sound and battery life for the price. Bought this device and for the last week have been amazed with the sound quality produced by the 660NC. This device holds up well in terms of noise cancelation. Walking outside or around the house able to block out most noises. Solid battery life and fits comfortably on my head.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Duchi from Excellent noise cancelling, great app features! The JBL Live 660NC unboxing caused me a good first impression from the beginning. I've been happy since the day I've received it. It was easy to connect to your devices (up to 2 at the same time), you get the sound notification on every interaction you do with the headphone when turning on, adjusting the volumes, connecting, and disconnecting to Bluetooth. It's highly recommended you download "My JBL Headphones" so it can support you with extra features such as setting up your Google Assistant or Alexa. Benefits of installing the app: - See on each of the options what it does which is an advantage as it might be not clear what that functionality does. - You can easily set up the Auto-off fafter15min/30min/1h/2h/3h/4h of inactivity or set it to "never" - Play & Pause automation - music and videos pauses and resumes automatically when you take off the headphones and put them back on. - Voice Assistant - Choose between Google Assistant or Alexa Product help - Containing all tips and FAQ to help you to get to know the headphone a little bit more. And for me, one of the most important check if the firmware is up to date (basically is the software that has all the features, when you update it, it sometimes fix issues and bring new functionalities. ANC (Ambient Sound Control) - 2 odes (Noise Cancelling, Ambient Aware) TalkThru when you need to talk with someone without taking off the headset. When you connect to a laptop via Bluetooth pay attention to select between "JBL Live660NC Stereo" and "JBL Live660NC Hands-free AG-audio" when you see that a sound does not work in one it means that specific audio has been recorded on mono or stereo. For bigheads like me, the pressure on your head can disturb but nothing to causing pain, with a couple of days it will lose a bit and it will continue to be comfortable. I felt they are very lightweight with a good cushion on the ears and it's a great gadget to buy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chiefybor from All round brilliant I bought these headphones a few weeks ago for the noise cancelling feature because i work around noisy machinery, as soon as you put the headphones on and turn them on, its like turning off your surroundings which is perfect for audiobooks, or music because you dont have to have the volume up as high which helps protect your ears. The transparency mode is also very good for communicating with others without removing the headphones. The app works well and the battery life of the headphones is very good!

Rated 3 out of 5 by virgogal from Good I have the prior model it was good. Charge time and look fantastic on this model! Overall sound good not great because.... bass lacks in new model as well. Whether it's a custom sound mode or generic this model can not handle heavier bass music. It distorts it, which sucks so as long as your fine with turning down your bass. And for Pete's sake fix your jbl app already it doesnt work. I can't even tune from it not even set up. Look at the reviews...hello. Overall, Im a bit more bougee with music; grew up playing, tuning, etc. It runs in my vains. I would rather charge my cans more for better sound and pay more if it just needs to be. JBL please use better descriptions that tailor more towards handling heavier bass and again, fix your app. Your company based on sound the app is essential hello! Distorted bass is pretty 80s. I can say that because I also have had every great cassette, cd, mp3 player throughout the years. I even had the yellow Sony in movie pretty woman! I value great sound feeds the soul.

Rated 4 out of 5 by NorbertH from MS Teams compatible!! Okay, so this review came out of necessity. I bought a Tune 750 and the website did not mentioned that those are not compatible with microsoft based communication software. Hence, I bought these headphones, wich STILL not advertised as desktop based communications software compatible, but they work. Apart of this small fiasco, these (Live 660) headphones are amazing so far. The sound is very nice, the battery life is excellent, and also the telephone capability. The added features like headphone tapping for google assist is a nice feature, for whoever using it. The ANC setups are super great, altho I found the talk-through a bit unnecessary, I just simply remove the headphones if someone wants to talk to me :) The headset's earcup is a bit small, my ear doesn't fit inside of it ( this was a real let down coimg from the Tune 750, they are the same size), and if I'm not mistaken, this is not interchangeable, like the other brands. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase, but for this kid of money, a hardcase would be handy, and the shortcomings could've been addressed ( like the interchangeable ear pad)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jade M from Works like a dream! I’m autistic and have been needing noise-canceling headphones for a while now. The added white noise/noise-canceling feature you can turn on works like a dream and sounds a bit like rain if you listen close enough! I love it. You can definitely still head outside noises if you aren’t playing music, but that’s to be expected, and I always have music on anyways! Connects to your device instantly, you can adjust the sound exactly to your liking, and the buttons are easy to use!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pina from Amazing noise cancellation! I received this headset about 2 weeks ago and I have been using since then. I got the one in blue color and it looks so cool. Connecting with bluetooth on my iPhone and Macbook was super easy. It's comfortable on my ears, I have small ears so it kinda covers the whole ear. The headset height is adjustable to your liking. It came with a bag to store, and the headset itself folds so it can be stored compactly. The sound quality for music is great with considerable bass and surround sound! Although, when you are in noise cancellation mode, the bass might seem low. But if you are in for noise cancellation, it is amazing! Completely blocks the noise around you and you can also chose the ambient mode if you want to partially block the noise. I keep moving in the house while listening to music and the bluetooth connection stays completely stable across multiple walls. To turn on and off the headset, you need to slide the power button which is somewhat difficult to do when you are wearing the headset. Moreover, many functional buttons are placed close to each other on one side of the headset which makes it difficult to identify a button and you tend to easily press the wrong ones. Given the minor usability concerns, overall it's a useful and satisfactory headset!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AndrewJC from Quality audio, Great fit These headphones are sleek looking and don’t stand out too much, but they perform better than probably any in this price range. I have used quite a few JBL headphones over the years and they always have decent audio. This one however surprised me at the quality of the sound, its not just bass forward like most popular headphones now, although does have plenty, you get real depth of sound. It sounds more like the artists intended the music to sound. On top of this the noise cancelling is excellent. The switch on the headphone so you can hear people with the headphones on is incredible and works better than any other headphones I’ve used. The comfort with these were excellent too, they fit my head and ears perfectly, probably the best of any I have had. The battery life is particularly good too however the cable to charge it is quite short so if you run out of charge its difficult to use them wired. The one annoyance I had with these is if you readjust them the audio pauses, which as a concept sounds positive but after a while, I found it more of an annoyance, but I image some people would like this feature, I just found it to be a little too sensitive. Overall, for the price, these are excellent headphones and worth a buy, sound quality is excellent and comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WillB2003 from Great Headphones with Excellent Noise Reduction These are really great headphones. I have had them for about two weeks now and have found little to dislike. The sound quality is excellent and with the app equalizer I can fine tune the sound to my liking. While listening to music or watching a movie I found there to be no highs or lows and no distortion. The headphones are comfortable wear. The ear cups may be a tad small for me, but when I adjust the length of the band it compensates and my ears don't hurt, even after wear the headphones for more than an hour. The active noise cancelling is excellent. This feature I put through some scenarios to learn how well it worked and it did a great job. Sitting next to my a/c air inlet, the ANC was great at removing the fan noise to a quiet hiss. I let a family member try them out while I was driving, and they commented it worked very well. For kicks I tried out them while using my food processor. It did not completely remove the sound, but it was no longer harsh and piercing. My only complaint is the volume control. I was unable to get the volume to a low enough level for long term listening. I did not measure the decibels or anything, but at the lowest volume setting, I expected a quieter sound. I experienced this when connected to both my phone and laptop. Still, I think these are great headphones and do recommend them.

Rated 2 out of 5 by TheGuy from They won't shut up. These things are jam packed with so many features that it becomes legitimately annoying. Noise canceling. Ambient aware. Talkthrough. Touch sensors. Google voice. For all of these little bells and whistles they forgot to program in the feature that allows you to turn the motion detection off. Every single time I move my head with these headphones on it somehow detects that I'm taking them off and plays a little noise that plays over whatever is playing on them. It is a total and utter nuisance that drives me MAD. I just wish I could turn it off some how but customer service wasn't even helpful at all. That's not even getting into the fact that in order to turn off any of these terrible other features you have to download an app that openly tracks your location in order to do ANYTHING. Overall, what I thought would be a decently priced pair of sturdy headphones ended up being a living nightmare to deal with. Not recommended in the slightest.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Maria_G from Great for focus while working, less so for music I love these headphones when I'm working. I wear glasses and these are the most comfortable over-the-ear headphones I can find-- other types start to press the frames down too much on my temples. At my work, there is a lot of construction noise over the past 3 months and I have a loud co-worker in the next office over. It's so much better with these on! The same happens when I work from home. I've had my young children at home doing their remote schooling and need to block out what's going on with them to focus on work. These are great for this. I even tried sleeping with them on with the noise cancellation on to block out my partner's snoring. Again, these are better than another more expensive brand for this purpose. However, they aren't the best for jamming out to music that's heavy in bass. Occasionally, it snaps or crackles. I still use them while I'm cooking and want to enjoy my music.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Hrgei from NOTHING NEW JUST A WASTE OF MONEY First time buying jbl products this 660nc headphones sound good but not great as others. A bit uncomfortable but annoying that the right cup doesn't seal well at the bottom, I wish I could return them but I CAN'T because nothing tells you that you cannot return it when you are buying it. Now I'm stuck with them what a waste of money. PEOPLE DON'T BUY PERSONALIZED UNLESS YOU WANT TO KEEP THEM

Rated 5 out of 5 by DanielM from Comfortable and great sound! I bought these to tune out the random stuff going on around the house and they work great. They are very comfortable to wear for a long time. The sound is awesome, especially with the app that can adjust the EQ for different listening. My only complaint (and it's small) is that the buttons aren't super intuitive, but it just takes some learning and getting accustomed.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Mariabm from Not with the money For 200 dollars they don’t come with a protective case, just a pouch. I wanted to switch my AirPods Pro for over the ear headphones. The noise cancellation is not great, I thought it wasn’t even on the first time I wore them. The sound quality is great and so is battery life. I don’t find the shape comfortable. For 200 dollars there’s much better ones in the market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Brilliant !! I bought these for my boyfriend for christmas and the sound cancelling options are brilliant, he’s a builder and can hardly hear the loud machinery when they’re on, he absolutely loves them, and i got them at a really good price too. I would love a pair for myself now to be honest. Also they fit his and my ears like a glove, super comfortable

Rated 2 out of 5 by Gdelgado97 from Not worth it Got these about 2 weeks ago to use for working out. My AirPods are way louder, there is no bass, and the small amount of bass there is sounds like it’s coming from a busted headphone with the volume all the way up. They are comfortable which is why i have two stars. I would return but threw away the boxes. I don’t recommend.
