Critic Reviews

JBL Live 780NC and 680NC review: Great leaps, greater missteps

engadget.com

JBL Live 680NC headphones bring comfort and solid ANC to the table, but they stumble with a narrow soundstage and reliance on an app for basic features. While the bassy sound might suit some, middling mic quality and the inability to easily disable noise modes hold them back. At $159, they're a rare on-ear noise-canceling option, but not without flaws. If you're not picky, these might fill your needs, but don't expect them to blow you away in a crowded market.
