[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these headphones. They are comfortable and loud. The noise canceling does its job. I use these while mowing and barely hear the mower over my music. I would definitely recommend these to friends and family.
First off, I want to say that these headphones are decent. I had higher hopes for them. Ive been able to use them for a total of 15 minutes before the mid and low speakers in the left ear, and the low speaker in the right ear blew. I'm honestly pretty dissatisfied with them. JBL in recent years has been on the higher end of consumer speaker products. It could just be a "bad" pair but it is discouraging to try a new pair. I will remain hopeful that the exchanged pair will perform as expected. There was a firmware update available but after updating there was still no change. I will update the review and star rating once I've received a replacement pair. Just for the record, the song they blew while playing was Mama I'm Coming Home by Ozzy. Its bassy but nothing deep enough to cause that even if they were at full volume which they should be able to handle anyway.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are sorry to hear that our JBL Live 660NC didn't meet your expectations. We're always looking for ways to improve. We'll make sure to submit your feedback to the appropriate department.
These are really good headphones for the price. The bluetooth is great, and they are easy to use. I really like the ability to use them for phone calls. I've been a nightclub DJ for 21 years, so I'm a little disappointed in the audio quality while listening to music.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great quality and have great sound. I love how well the noise canceling works. I took these with on our road trip and it helped me keep my anxiety under control for the whole six hour drive.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two weeks of use and I love these headphones. I am technologically challenged yet these are easy to use with Google and I know I have not yet learned all of the features. The sound quality is great (I have a surround sound system and high expectations), noise canceling effective enough to not hear beagle barking and I love features like how my movie will pause when I pull off the headphones. My only complaint is that the buttons on the headphones are so small and feel the same so my old fat fingers are not working well with them, removed a star in rating. But, it did lead me to use automated features so that is good. These headphones would make a great gift, especially for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. Love the blue color, we bleed blue in KY.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I want to say these headphones are very comfy. They are adjustable and fit nicely over my ears. I do have smaller ears, so for me I think it’s a great fit. The headphones themselves are aesthetically pleasing. I like the simple and sleek design. The right side has your power button, volume adjustment, noise cancelling button adjustment and the jack for the cord if that’s your preference. I really like that JBL added that feature, so you can choose between that or using Bluetooth. The left side has the port for charging the headphones. Both sides swivel which is cool too.
Now as far as sound goes I’ve tried all genres from rock to hip hop, dance and different types of electronic. The sound is great, but when you are listening to a song with deep bass I noticed you need to have the headphones on perfectly, otherwise you get some reverb. In my case, the left ear piece seemed to have the reverb. (Mind you, this only happened with the music turned all the way up.) After playing around with the headphones and listening to other songs I realized If they are off slightly from your head the reverb can happen. Once I realized this I didn’t have any issues. These headphones really do sound good. I honestly can turn up the volume on most songs.
As far as the noise cancelling feature they really do block out sounds very well. I used these while walking around the house, brushing my teeth with my electric toothbrush and lots of other background noises. I couldn’t hear a thing. These headphones have three features for noise cancellation. You can choose how much you want to block out, which I think that’s an awesome feature. These headphones also come with Google assistant and Alexa built-in. Unfortunately, I don’t use either of those so I can’t review that aspect. I do have an iPhone, so Siri can be activated too.
Overall these are really nice headphones. I would definitely recommend them if the features described are something you’re looking for. One thing that’s really cool is when you’re listening to music and take them off they pause the music. Then when you put them back on they resume. I love that! You can also adjust this feature. JBL never disappoints with sound quality. They really out did themselves with these. Style and comfort are a 10/10. Sound and performance I would also give a 10/10. I love these headphones.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As usual, very clean and presentable packaging from JBL. Out of the box, battery was charged for instant use. Very comfortable on the head. Active noise canceling works moderately well. Certain frequencies still pass through. Bluetooth connection was easily done. Sound quality is good, but not great. I feel they should really bring you into the music. Not so much unfortunately. Overall a very good performing unit.
