JBL Headphones Live 660NC

The JBL Live 660NC are a pair of wireless over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC). They offer a good balance of features, performance, and price, making them a popular choice for budget-minded consumers.

Design and build quality

The Live 660NC are well-built headphones with a premium look and feel. The headband is made of metal and covered in a mesh fabric, while the ear cups are made of plastic with a leatherette finish. The ear cups are also foldable, making them easy to transport.

The headphones come with a carrying pouch, a USB-C charging cable, and a 3.5mm audio cable for wired listening.

Comfort

The Live 660NC are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The headband is well-padded and the ear cups are large enough to fit around most ears. The ear cups are also soft and plush, and they don’t trap too much heat.

Sound quality

The Live 660NC offer a sound profile that is well-suited to a variety of genres. The bass is punchy and the mids are clear and present. The highs are also well-extended, but they can be a bit harsh on certain tracks.

The ANC performance of the Live 660NC is good for the price. It can effectively block out low-frequency noise, such as the rumble of a plane engine or the hum of a washing machine. However, it is not as effective at blocking out high-frequency noise, such as human voices or the sound of traffic.

Battery life

The Live 660NC have excellent battery life. They can last up to 50 hours on a single charge with ANC turned off. With ANC turned on, the battery life is still very good, at around 40 hours.
