Live 460NC Bluetooth On Ear Headphones
Product details
Web ID: 13197681Strong performers - highly recommend the APP
I bought these to replace an older set from a different, but good company, that wore out. These new 460NCs have noticeably better noise cancellation, and the battery, sound, and general performance are all a step up. I saw some reviews talk about the auto pause feature being a nuisance. Note, this and other features (such as choosing and linking to virtual assistant) can be personalized in the APP. This makes sense to me since wireless headphones are typically used with mobile phones. Downloading and using the APP was easy. I downloaded it, used my phone's Bluetooth settings to link the headphones to my phone, and automatically got a prompt to use JBL's app to set them up. It updated their firmware, and then I spent a few short minutes to set them up and I was good to go. Again, super headphones that seem to have great features and performance. I strongly recommend downloading APP to update and set up the headphones. The majority of negative reviews seem to involve features and settings that can be modified in the app. I see this ability to personalize the headphones as being a feature, not a problem

460NC
The sound is O.K. The fit is snug, which is good for me, but might be tight for another adult. Too much packaging.

Noise cancellation is disappointing
These really aren’t very comfortable to wear, and the noise cancellation is disappointing. I’m glad I got them on sale.

Great Sound, Great Build
I bought these a few months ago before a long trip. The sound quality is great (especially for drum & bass and jungle) and the battery lasts forever. The ANC isn’t the best, but it does the job on noisy flights. Now, these things may be great but they are not why I am leaving this review. I recently moved back to a small island in Thailand where I ride a motorbike everywhere, usually with headphones or earbuds in. The Live feature is great for listening to music and traffic around me. But even that’s not why I am leaving this review. A few days ago, I was wearing a cap under the headphones while I was riding and they blew off of my head. I stopped and panicked as cars and motorbikes barely missed running over them, until one did. To my chagrin, a speeding motorcycle ran them over. I was devastated. Electronics are pricey out there and replacing them wouldn’t be cheap. I ran into the road when I saw a break in traffic and picked up the pieces. I was expecting to be taking them for a short trip to the trash until I realized it was just the ear cups that had popped off. They snapped right back on with ease. I put them on AND THEY STILL WORKED PERFECTLY. I still can’t believe it. I am sold on JBL from here on out.

Not the ones!
Headphones give great volume, sound quality is good, and look good. But all that said the auto pause feature is an absolute reason to pass on these. It pauses all the time and there is not an easy way to turn that feature off. So frustrating I get to the point I just want to rip them apart and give me a reason to buy a new pair of non JBL headphones. Absolutely foraging for the price of them.

Good sound but faulty buttons an annoying software
I've had mine replaced in warranty for broken volume buttons and the replacements have failied in the exact same way just outside of warranty. The button goes "mushy" and doesnt click at first and then they eventually they start phantom pressing and skipping songs, making them practically unusable. The software is also terrible with no way to turn off the assistant mode without installing the software. It should be off by default. Good sound quality, comfortable. I have

Top tier but UNCONFORTABLE!
Loves these head phones. They have a premium feel look to it and it sounds great. Unfortunately the ONLY reason i gave it a 1 star was because it is so uncomfortable. IT MADE MY HEAD HURT BECASUE OF HOW TIGHT THESE THINGS ARE!! Its a bummer everything is top quality but does not mean a thing when you cant even wear these for 5 min :/
