Excellent quality, great price

As an Apple user, I wanted great over the ear headphones with noise cancellation, but there was Absolutely No Way I was going to drop the fat stacks on the Apple ones. I started looking around and considering my options, originally deciding on some SRhythm off-brand ones here on Amazon. When I came back with the money to buy, the SRhythms were sold out so it was back to browsing. At this point, I decided it would be a better idea to go with a trusted brand that didn’t have the possibility of disappearing from Amazon within the next few years. The ideal headphone, for me, was the Sony XM5s - after reading reviews it sounded absolutely godly. But it also costs godly amounts of dollars, which was the original problem I was trying to avoid. Enter JBL, I realized the speaker brand that went from “a few of your buddies ride or die by this brand” to a sound-junkie staple was IDEAL. I shopped around, looked at similar Skullcandy models, other brands similar in price but also not offering anything better than passive noise cancellation. The comparable Skullcandy model (price wise, at least) has worse battery life, primarily because it uses (imo) a ridiculous number of microphones for Active Noise Cancellation. At the time of my purchase, the Skullcandy model also costed slightly more which made even less sense. I find the noise cancellation on these to be easily comparable to the AirPod Pros I have used before. Especially with music playing, I cannot hear a single thing outside of my little bubble. I’ve used these at work for two days straight without ever having to plug them in. They connect to my phone with ease and the buttons on the side are very useful. The audio quality is crystal clear, and I often use these in the car instead of my stereo. These things perform beautifully. The JBL app is also a stroke of genius, allowing me all the customizability that Apple tries to prevent me from having with any non-Apple products. The different equalizer modes are absolutely killer too. I only have two small gripes. For some reason, the lowest noise cancellation setting jacks up the outside microphone’s volume but completely mutes my music without pausing it. So I can hear if someone is talking to me, but there’s not even a hint of the song I was listening to. This is a little disappointing compared to the AirPods transparency mode. The second one is that the ear cans on this thing are slightly too small for my ears, and I’m pretty sure I have relatively typical ear-size (elementary school kids would have made sure I knew if I had some Dumbo-sized ears yanno!). Wearing the headphones for hours at a time makes the cartilage on the side and top of my ear sore, and if they had like a millimeter or two more diameter that could be fixed. All in all, I consider these to be five star worthy because it’s an excellent value for the price. I absolutely love these things, and I hope they will last me a good while. I will be back to update my review on their durability after having owned them for longer.

Just what I was looking for

I waited 3 months to post this to give myself time to really test these out. I have been extremely happy with the 770NCs. I have a pair of the JBL 660NCs at work, which I love. When my more expensive pair of Beats Studio Pros started cracking on the band, I decided to give the 770NCs a try. So, in many ways, these are in comparison to the Beats. Sound-wise, these pack a lot of punch. The bass hits harder without feeling distorted, the soundstage is warm and detailed, and I really feel surrounded by the music. I don't use the sound cancelling feature much, but it seems to work well. The Ambient Noise feature works well, although the Beats do a slightly better job. Bluetooth pairing is easy, and switching between my computer and phone is simple. I haven't had any connectivity issues. The battery life is astonishing! Seriously, the battery life is so good that I have to remind myself to check the percentage, and the same goes for the 660NCs. It feels like the battery is good for days upon days without needing a recharge. My Beats, on the other hand, needed constant recharging. Build and comfort are good. I'm by no means hard on my headphones, but after my Beats started falling apart I knew I wanted something that I don't need to baby. They feel well constructed, and they are light and comfortable. I can wear these for extended periods of time without feeling fatigue or sore spots anywhere. For the price, these are an excellent choice. Highly recommend.

Best headphones I’ve owned, better than Beats

I got these headphones to replace my Beats Studio 3 headphones which only lasted 3 years before cracking despite being very careful with them. So I will be comparing these Jbl to them. So as for the fit, the Jbl ones feel more secure yet the Beats were slightly more comfortable but not by much. As for sound the Jbls have way better of sound both for music and asmr as I use my headphones for both. The noise canceling is way better on the Jbl headphones. As for battery life they both are good and not much of a difference there. I use my headphones a few hours a day usually and only need to charge them every few weeks even with noise canceling on. So in short the Jbl headphones are actually better than Beats despite Beats being more expensive. My advice is if you want quality headphones that work great get the Jbl headphones, if you want just a Flashy name brand then the Beats are better but that’s all they are. I’ll be going with Jbl for all my Bluetooth audio needs from now on. Jbl is the best combo of quality, good sound, and affordable price.

Good comfort, sound quality and features for a good price.

So far so good. I received the head phones in a timely manner. The box was smaller than I anticipated but housed the headset, the charging cable, a 1/8'" cable and the instructions. I turned on the Bluetooth on my computer, powered up the headset, hit the sync button and it connected automatically. The buttons are raised and easy to use. The volume buttons are pronounced and easy to operate. The headset did start to feel heavy after about an hour of use and the range of the Bluetooth is limited to about 15 foot. I may have had some interference with the microwave. The sound is very good with pronounced lows and clear highs. I didn't have to adjust the volume too much from noise discomfort. They did a good job at drowning out background noise. I would recommend them for the price.
