JBL Live 650BNTC Headphones

Adaptive noise cancellation is great for isolating yourself with your favorite playlists and podcasts, but it’s not ideal in every situation. If you’re walking in public, hearing others and nearby traffic is essential to help keeping you safe. With Ambient Aware activated, ambient sounds are increased inside the earcups. When you’re safe and sound, sometimes you want to pause ANC to have a quick chat without having to take off your headphones. JBL’s TalkThru technology does just that by lowering your music and amplifying speech.

The Live 660NC headphones fully recharge in approximately 2 hours, but if you’re in a rush you can get up to 4 hours of playback time with just a quick 10-minute charge.

While the Live 660NC are primarily a wireless set of headphones, sometimes you forget to charge them or need to connect to a non-Bluetooth device. JBL has you covered with an integrated audio jack and included audio cable. Just plug in and keep listening.

With multi-point support, these ANC headphones can pair with two different devices at the same time. This gives you the ability to quickly switch between them when needed. For example, listen to a movie on a tablet, but then automatically switch over to your smartphone to answer a call.

Never lose your place in an engrossing podcast or at the best part of song. When you need to take off the headphones, they’ll automatically pause the audio and resume it when you put them back on.

This technology lets you quickly pair the Live 660NC headphones with your Android smartphone. Simply turn on the headphones and they’ll be auto-detected, letting you pair them with a single tap. Once paired, turning on the headphones will immediately pair them with your device.

With this app, you can personalize your listening experience and how the Live 660NC headphones interact with your mobile devices. You can use it to change EQ settings, select your preferred digital voice assistant, set Smart Ambient settings, and more.

Since the Live 660NC over-ear headphones can last for days, JBL made sure they were comfortable by providing soft, cushioned earcups and a fabric-covered headband.
