JBL Live 660NC - Wireless Over-ear Noise Cancelling headphones, JBL Signature Sound, Voice Assist, Up to 50Hrs of Battery with Speed Charging, Comfort-fit fabric headband and carrying pouch (Black)

I’ve now had these for 3 years. Never had an issue, they are incredible for flights. They block out noise so well. They apply a little pressure to the head which doesn’t bother me but it may bother some. Very comfortable and they dont bother my ears. I have 10 piercings in my ears and these have never given me an issue with any of them. Well worth the money because they will last a long time. The sound quality is good, I wouldn’t mind if they could actually play louder but other than that, I love these. Will definitely buy them again

First of all, hopefully my review is fair but please read this with a grain of salt. I do consider myself an "audiophile" which frankly isn't a status symbol of my knowledge on audio, it's simply that I have hole in my pockets from spending on audio gear. I do own several high end TOTL IEMs and Headphones from the likes of Empire Ears, Unique Melody, Meze, Hifiman and Audeze, but I am also trying to be as fair as possible in my review here as I can't compare any of these brands to JBL. But on the other hand, I do have other "consumer" headphones from Sony and Soundcore, so I'm trying to frame this review around that as a comparison. I was looking for something simple that I can occasionally take with me to the gym, for walks, at an airplane, etc., where I wouldn't be absolutely paranoid about dropping, scratching or breaking them in the process. From the reviews both within Amazon and other sources, it seemed like a "safe" bet with a 4.5 rating on Amazon and some mixed reviews from other sources. I've mainly seen these compared to the Soundcore Q30 (which I bought and returned), and folks seem to generally lean towards Soundcore instead between these two. Let me start by saying there is NO comparison to the Soundcore Q30. In terms of build quality and sound quality, these JBL Live 660NCs are light years ahead. Compared to something like the Sony WH1000XM5, believe it or not, I actually prefer the tuning on the JBL, but the ANC and mic quality on the Sony is definitely better, and Sony of course supports LDAC which these JBLs don't. Frankly, not a big deal, since if I really want to hear "HiFi" music I can simply plug these into my headphone amp with the provided wired cable (which I'll get into in a bit). Sound quality: Harman target, executed beautifully. You get the boosted lows, somewhat recessed mids and boosted highs, but they respond extremely well with EQ either through the JBL app or Wavelet for Android (which I'd recommend over any headphone manufacturer app anyways). Both female and male voices are clear, crisp, not too sibilant, instrument separation is fantastic, above average staging, and there's zero "muddying" of the sound especially when EQ is applied to boost any frequency range. The bass has "rumble", but again, doesn't muddy anything - it's thumpy and fast. Again, light years ahead of the "competition" such as the Soundcore Q30. Build: Excellent. Sturdy. Doesn't feel like "cheap" plastic. Light years ahead of the Soundcore Q30, but doesn't even come close to beating the Sony WH1000XM5 in terms of comfort - the Sony headphones are like wearing "clouds" on your ears. Ear cups are a bit small (I'll get into that later). Where I was the most impressed with was when connecting these to a good quality amp. I run a Topping E50 and L50 stack, and I almost feel like they turned into a completely different headphone with a wired connection. The sound was simply fantastic, to the point where I can (and will) compare these to the sound signature and performance of the Meze 99 Neo (~$200), and frankly responds better to a Sony WH1000XM5 connected to the same source. So short version: If you can experience these with a good quality wired connection (DAC + AMP combo) I definitely recommend trying it out. Now to the "bad" stuff: Small ear cups, or maybe I have big ears. Would be nice to have ear cups that are a tad bit bigger to fit bigger ears. Wired connection - I am trying to understand why JBL wouldn't just provide a standard 3.5mm connector rather than a 3.5mm to 2.5mm connector - Why? For Bluetooth, the max supported codec is AAC, which again is fine considering the price and I wouldn't expect LDAC at this price point so this really isn't a negative call out to JBL. Are these "audiophile" grade? No. But you can't expect that for $99. What you get is an excellent pair of headphones packed with basic features, with excellent sound, portability, build quality, that won't make you cry if they break.

My fave pair of headphones. I've just become accustomed to using Bluetooth now, and the charge lasts me all day for listening wirelessly! Comfy, good quality of sound, and the option to turn the noise cancelation on and off is super useful for me. I can effortlessly switch from Bluetooth with my phone to an audio jack on my computer, so these headphones suit all my needs perfectly. No wonder so many people recommended I try JBLs, and if you can get these on sale like I did, it's definitely the $60 to me!

Out of the box, good solid headphones with decent sound and nice features. Bluetooth pairing was easy with phone, turntable and tv. Battery life seems good, I only charged them for two hours and put them to work so time will tell. Best things about them so far, the headband is adjustable and quite comfortable. The JBL app is super helpful setting them up for noise cancellation and eq customization. With added bass they sound better and pair nicely with my vinyl collection. Cons - none really, I was not impressed with the initial sound quality after having many JBL speakers over the years, but a little fine tuning did the trick. Overall, a very nice set of headphones for a great Prime Day deal. Not sure they are worth the everyday asking price, but these are my first pair ever.

Was looking for a pair of over-ear headphones, and I haven't had a pair since they had cords! So I've never owned a Bluetooth pair, I've always just used earbuds. But after having allergy issues involving earbuds when working out, I decided I wanted something that didn't go inside my ears for when I'm at home. I like music all the time, not just when I'm sweating. I wanted a pair of headphones that sounded great, but didn't cost hundreds of dollars. Remembering I once had a jbl pulse speaker and how great it was, I came across these and definitely paused for a minute. There were a couple models I was looking at, but these really grabbed me seeing that they have decent bass and noise canceling. While I can say the noise canceling isn't spectacular, its definitely still really good. It also depends on the type of music you're listening to and at what volume, because quieter and easier listening music means less noise canceling ppower. I can say, I have a very busy home with 2 little kids and I don't hear much of anything when I'm wearing these, so I definitely make sure their dad is home or someone else is watching them if I plan to use these. One huge plus for me (that I didn't even realize when I bought them) is the fact that you can communicate with Google assistant with a tap of the left ear cup. This is pretty awesome to me, I didn't realize they had a feature like that! Probably my favorite feature is the fact that it detects when they're on or off your head, and pauses and starts the music automatically! Its so nice not having to press pause or play when taking them off/on for a second. They fold in nicely and store easily, even though the bag they include isn't convenient because it's a tight fit. Call and mic quality isn't spectacular, but not bad. Overall, I'm extremely happy with them because any of the cons aren't that important to me, the music is what I care about and it sounds great! I like the equalizer through the app, and how straightforward these are. The features are great and feel premium and the music and bass sound really nice. Being just under a hundred bucks, I couldn't go wrong with these and I don't regret them for a second. They also look super nice, as well. Some of the more expensive models are ugly and clunky looking, in my opinion. But for the price point these are absolutely amazing. I use them all the time and I'd definitely buy them again! My brother has beats headphones and says he wants to upgrade to these.

This is just an OK set of Bluetooth headphone for the price and from the name brand. They're convenient, have decent battery life, and have a nice interface and are pretty comfortable, but that's probably the extent of the positives. They don't get very loud, which is safe, but cranking the volume on my phone is not really pushing these things. Sound quality is average - I know you can mess with the EQ, but set on flat these things are still a bit unablanced. Bass end is a bit dull and too muddy on the bass end - not overly boomy (unless you adjust EQ to boost it even more) but not super defined. If you try to push the volume then it seems to favor the top end more and can get shrill without EQing. Leaves more to be desired. It has a feature that pauses/turns the audio off when you take them off your head, which is cool, but it will improperly trigger and cut out if you try to move the head band around or wear it in a position to not mess up/dent your hair or if you want to slip one off your ear. You can toggle this feature with the app, but kinda becomes useless at that point. They are OK at what seems to be an always discounted price. Otherwise I would consider saving a little more for a nicer set or get a higher quality studio wired set for roughly the same price as these.

I ran Live 660NC on and off for five days, before it ran out of the charge. In the mean time, I also used other headphones and earbuds. So I cannot say exactly how many hours the 660's charge lasted, but it DID last long. The audio quality is good at default setting, but the JBL's app provided different settings of genres of music, plus custom settings you can add. Jazz, Vocal, Bass, Club, Studio just about covers all the spectra, but user-settable custom Eq. allows numerous additional settings. 660 has an earphone jack that allows you to go old school and use wired earphone. It comes with the extension cord just for that purpose. This over-the-ear earphone gives an improved wear-comfort than the other on-ear JBL I also own (Tune 510). I tend to wear this set more than any other sets. 660 comes with the auto-pause function that activates, when the headphone is removed. But it is too sensitive, so when I try to adjust it, or the headphone is accidentally touched, it goes to pause. I disabled it, and it is no longer pausing accidentally. Noise canceling function is quite good, as far as regular living environmental noises are concerned, as in, voice, water flowing, closing of doors, banging of vessels and utensile, etc., are concerned. It cuts out wind noise outdoors--I say, 90%. But a riding lawn mower and a prop airplane flying above cut through the force field of NC. 660 also has the provision which allows the voice to be heard. I have not used it in an airplane, so I cannot comment on that. I mostly do not use NC, because I want to hear things around me, and know my surroundings. For my purpose, I am quite satisfied with this 660. My other, Tune 510, also produces the similar quality of audio performance. I cannot really tell, if there is much difference in the audio quality. Since JBL App does not cover Tune 510, I cannot use the Eq. function on it. With Eq. function, Live 660 does much better than tune 510, but this is not fair comparison. I've listened to dance music, motets, baroque, flamenco, rock and roll, even Gregorian chants, etc. All was great to my ears. I am quite satisfied with this Live 660.

Muy buen producto. El audio me parece excelente sin ser un audiofilo. La duración de la batería no se ha demeritado. La cancelación de ruido es sobresaliente; en viajes en avión te olvidas del ruido ambiente del aeropuerto y durante el vuelo, únicamente percibes lo necesario para estar alerta. Para llamadas entra mucho ruido ambiente por el micrófono, lo que te lleva a desactivarlos para realizarla directo del celular o moverte a un lugar con ruido razonable para el sistema. Recomiendo ampliamente la marca y el modelo que adquirí. las almohadillas empiezan a deteriorarse y espero en un futuro próximo encontrar repuestos. La almohadilla de la diadema está recubierta con un textil tipo malla de muy buena calidad; estoy seguro durará hasta que los audífonos mueran. Septiembre 2025: A comprar almohadillas. El recubrimiento se desintegró. Compré unos Sony y dejé estos guardados en un estuche que les compré para mantenerlos sin que se deterioraran. Agregué un desecante para que la humedad no los afectara más. Los saqué para conectarlos a una tele y el recubrimiento se quedó sobre mi. Ahora compré almohadillas textiles. Veremos cómo resultan, pero ya es otro cuento. La diadema impecable por ser textil.

كل شي فيها رهيب بصرااحة كل شي بدون استثناء 😍👍🏻👍🏻

JBL never fails to wow me with their unbeatable sound quality and features. I bought this along with a Sony WH-CH720N, and the difference shook me! I immediately returned the Sony headphones. Pros: the sound quality, the instrument separation, the prominent yet not so punchy bass, the on-ear detection play-pause feature, the dual connectivity, the ANC modes, the dedicated buttons and led indicators, the portability, the battery life, the call and mic quality, the comfort, the overall build quality, even the perfect positioning of the power toggle switch where the right thumb rests will removing the headphones as opposed to an inconvenient long-press button, the list goes on! Cons: There isn't really anything, but if I've to nit-pick, the headphones auto-pauses if i tilt my head backwards too much, or open my mouth too much, but that could be cos I've a large head, and once i bring the headphones a bit forward to snugly fit my ears, the issue disappears. I'm also skeptical about it's long term durability as I've had negative experiences with JBL headphones in the past, but I also know people who've been using these headphones for 1.5 years now without any issues. I dived in anyway, cos i JUUST couldn't resist it's sound quality, which is to die for. Not even a Sony XM5 was able to impress me with it's sound quality, so you can imagine. Go ahead and get it guys.

لاحظت بعد ٥ شهور تقريبا صارت السماعه تفصل البلوتوث من نفسها ويرجع يشبك، ويتكرر هذا الشي مره كثير ولا ادري ايش سبب المشكله

- Comfortable ear cups. After about 2 hours, my ears feel slightly sore, but a quick break from them does the trick and I put them back on. - Great sound, but base isn't as great as the JBL 650s, but still good. - Compared to the 650's, they are slightly better in terms of the design (metallic accents vs muted accents) and better mid-tones, as well as better battery life and faster charging. They also connect to multiple devices at once, and have more features regarding sound. - Highly recommend to students who don't want to break the bank but still need noise cancellation and enjoyable sound.
