Comfy with great noise cancelation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these headphones earlier this year since I needed a comfortable pair for regular use. I came across these with nice padding on ear and extra cushion in the headband. I love using these while cooking and cleaning around the house. With the noise canceling I can just turn on my music, get in my zone, and tune out the chaos around me. My teen son also likes to use these when we go on longer road trips so he can ignore his younger sibling and whatever the rest of the family is listening to in the car. I'll be purchasing another pair for him on his birthday or Christmas.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing feature packed headphones!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Live 660NC for a week now. Upon receiving them and opening them up I first charged them using the included usb-c cable. They charged very fast. After using them for almost a week and for a few hours a day, they are still almost fully charged. Rated for up to 50 hours of listening time on a single charge.
Pairing was easy. Once I turned them on and paired to my iPhone I utilized the Jbl Headphone app to setup more features. The app asks what assistant you would like to utilize. Your options are Google or Alexa. I’m using Alexa at the moment. Using the assistant requires you to either touch the left ear cup or simply say the assistant’s name. I typically call upon Alexa using moderate volume to turn on and off lights in my house and switching my alarm on and off. Works quickly and flawlessly. Great feature to have built into a headphone.
The app also allows you to adjust the NC feature. You can have it on or off. Adjust your ambient awareness by amplifying the sound around you. Talk through raises ambient awareness and reduces Audio listening volume in order to have a conversation with someone while utilizing the headphones. NC works great with no annoying hissing at zero volume. The fit is a little tight but that is to aid in the function of NC. If they are to loose then the feature would work poorly and make unwanted sounds through the speakers.
Sound quality is on point. The app allows you to adjust equalizer curves but I enjoy them flat. All sounds from bass to treble are present with nothing under or overbearing. Just a clear full sound at any listening volume. These get decently loud without hardly any sound leakage.
The headphone are built tough! Super soft ear cups and strong headband with plenty of adjustment. I am truly enjoying these. They are my new go to headphone due to the sound quality, features and how comfortable they are to wear. I use them for hours without fatigue. I have headphones that have similar features but these are superior in every way. I highly recommend the live 660NC!

FIX your "My Headphones" App, JBL!
on November 28, 2021
Posted by: SMHJBL
from LA, CA
Returning item. Build quality is great. However, the features are not able to be taken advantage of because the My JBL Headphones app keeps telling me that I can only have one jbl live 660 nc headphone on app, keeps advising me to go to bt settings to fix. This is the only jbl headphone owned by this household. So, all the features that can be managed via app are grayed out (EQ, batt level, ANC options, firmware update, sound options, etc). Also, despite the sound being crisp with decent bass, the max volume needed to be higher. Thought the ANC settings (cycled via AnC button) was affecting the max volume but no, it sounded as if they maxed out at 75% of where it should be. If jbl put as much effort into the app as they did on build quality of these headphones or made sure the features are available independent of apps, then these would be an excellent value.

Great sound and noise cancellation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound quality is always great with JBL headphones. I have a few pairs for professional audio work and this set is just as good. I like that it includes a wired port and cable to use when you don’t want bluetooth connectivity. It’s easy to pair with my computer and iPad. Switching between them is easy. The fit is lightweight easy on the ears. A good buy in my opinion.

Excellent, you will not be sorry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received my JBL LIVE660nc headphones today and could not be happier. It may be a bit quick for a review, but I can honestly say I have had these on for several hours now and cannot say enough positive things about them!
First, let me back up a bit. Packaging was great as usual. Headphones came with directions, charging cable, direct connect cable and padded carrying pouch. See Pics
Easy to connect via Bluetooth and start enjoying listening to, but make sure you take the time to download the JBL headphone app. The LIVE660's sound good right out of the box, but with the app, you can take your listening pleasure to a completely different level. You can not only customize your headphone user settings, but change the default equalizer or create your very own customized equalizer setting. The sound quality is exceptional, crisp and clear with nice bass. The head phones are lightweight, comfortable and easy to use.
I would not hesitate to recommend these. A great pair of headphones!

Great Noise Cancelling and Well Built!
on April 8, 2021
Posted by: ANdru613
from Miami, FL, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using these headphones for now quite some time, they are fantastic. The best parts about them is how durable and strongly built they are, in addition to being also lightweight. They really seem to quite handle any sort of situation. They also fold up and the ear cups do twist, making them super portable.
I have used the headphones on a flight and they were perfect for the airport, on and off the plane, and simple connectivity to my phone.
The noise cancelling is one of the most impressive things about the JBL Tune 660's! They took out the outside sound with no problems. I couldn't even hear people talking, and I hardly heard the typical airplane engine sound. In my opinion, they match almost equal to over ear style headphones noise cancellation (I have JBL E65btnc for reference). That's super impressive for on ear style headphones! That really took me for surprise!
As for button controls are basic for what they are. Volume up, down, play, pause all worked fine with my phone. (I just find it easier to use my phone to adjust play/pause volume up/down.)
As for sound quality, they are great, but not amazing. The Bass is definitely there. Mid's, Hi's Low's are pretty clear. I do think a lot of sound does go missing since they're on ear and not over ear. So you're kind of missing that "3D surround sound" that you'll get from over ear.
To sum it up, for middle class style headphones they're great! If you're a type of person who's very on the move, and while in a car, train, plane, etc. wants to jam up some nice sounding music, then these are the right headphones for you. If you're more of a Sound guy or studio who cares a lot about the sound quality, go with the over ear to get the full experience. Highly recommended for the average buyer!

Great noise cancelling!

from Morristown, TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had these for a couple weeks now. Really love the sound quality and have them both my iPhone and iPad paired to them at the same time. The noise cancelling is awesome. My wife could be watching a TV show with the surround sound on in the same room and I don’t hear a thing with these headsets on.

Great sound, great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] FINALLY received this in the mail!
PROS: Excellent sound, long battery life, great features. That noise cancelling feature really works, it almost feels like there’s a pressurized seal around the headset.
CONS: The adjustable headsets get loose over time. I’ve had them for a week and it definitely feel the difference. I just hope it doesn’t get too loose over time.
I would recommend this to a friend!
