Ear muffs are real leather and the build and quality of them do not feel plastic like at all. Definitely headphones you can take with you anywhere. Carrying Case Helps Alot. Sound Quality 4/5 What you expect of JBL Sound Clear Crisp Defined Sound that makes you feel like you are in the Studio. While I wish they were louder cannot complain about what I am getting for the price. Technologically Advanced 5/5 Will Pause Music When You Take Them Off and On! Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Google Assistant to where I can play music and make phone calls without grabbing my phone or having to go into my music app saves me time and makes it very convenient. Value 5/5 Everything you get for this price and the features in these headphones will keep you out of the headphone market for a good while and provide you longevity for the future and updates with the JBL app that will give it access to new features or upgrades it gets in the future. Comfort 4/5 Are Adjustable and fit any kind of ear, Really Comfortable and don't fallout. Just be aware can get hot and sweaty after a while of wearing them if you are using it for active use so make sure you wipe it down so that you don't get anything in them.
More Detailed Review Below:
Durability: 5/5 These Headphones are very sturdy and will hold up well for your active listeners. Helps Also they come with Carrying Case for the Gym! The ear muffs are leather and they are not plastic like and seem like they really put good work and quality in them I am impressed. The battery has lasted me for almost 5 days after full charge from using them at the gym and I work out for about 1 to 2 hours. So the standby time and active time cannot be beat after 10 hours of active time and over 5 days of standby time. Sound Quality 4/5 Sound is crisp can hear every instrument as well as your lows, mids and highs. Almost makes you feel like you are listening to your music in the studio or in person. Love the three features on the headphones where you can activate adaptive noie cancelling , have it off or even activate the headphones to have a clear conversation with anyone. One thing I will mention is be careful what app you use to listen to your music My Amazon Music with HD played louder and clearer than my Spotify. For a moment I was wondering why the music wasn't as loud and I discovered it was from that. Still wish the headphones could go a little louder in my opinion. Technologically Advanced 5/5: These headphones work for you and connect you in more ways than one. When first turning on I learned I can connect them thru the JBL App which allows me to set them up and keep them updated so its nice to know a company that provides update for their headphones meaning that even after a year they can have some of the same features and access as new ones release which helps with longevity of the headphones. I love the feature where whenever you take your headphones off it pauses the music and when you put them back on it plays again! Google Assistant is awesome on these headphones you can actually get access two ways. One by tapping your left headphone or activating voice recognition which just by saying Hey Google and say your command she does whatever you ask like send text message play music which means I don't even have to open my music app to listen to music or make a phone call. It does it for me from these Headphones that is awesome. You can of course with the buttons on the headphone itself pause music, skip/previous song, accept/hang up calls, pause calls and your normal volume up and down buttons which complete the easy accessibility and convenience these headphones provide. Value: Cannot beat the price for everything you get with these headphones and like I mentioned before the durability and build of the headphones itself to where they fit comfortably, the clear and crisp sound of the headphones and last but not least the JBL App and Features these provide will make you not have to replace your headphones for a while. Comfort: They fit well and are adjustable and the ear muffs can cover a wide variety of ears from small to big to which my ears were small and my big brothers were big and it fit both of us well. They also stay put well too to where if you do decide to do exercise they are not cumbersome and uncomfortable. Only thing I would say is they can get a little hot and can get sweaty when working out which is normal not alot of breathability when wearing them only thing that could bother someone. Honestly my days at the gym just got better and I might go more often since now I can listen to the JBL 660NC there and enjoy them and not worry about having to hear anyone or anything just the music unless I am taking a call of course.

Good, not Great. Loud, Tight, Heavy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound quality is good, voice quality is too loud and annoying in high volume. Base is good, Noise Cancelling is mediocre. App should’ve had more options to customize music. Ear cups cushion is very soft and soothing on the ears, the headband quality is excellent but is too tight on my ears. I wish they’re more light weight.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Great noise cancelling!

[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.
