Excellent build quality with very solid performanc
on March 3, 2026
Posted by: LarryL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a SOLID performer! Excellent sound quality! The anc works! I love the quick access built in button that let's you toggle between noise cancelation and talk through. The surrounding sound difference is like night and day! The build quality seems to be more solid than previous headphones that I've owned of JBL. They have weight to them and clearly the materials used in the frame of the headphones are of high quality! The ear cushions are very comfortable and are made to worn for long periods of time. I love the included wired listening feature! My next test will be with PS5 gaming!

My new favorite
on March 8, 2026
Posted by: LisaA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved these ear phones and didn't expect to. They fit nicely over my ears with a softness I really like. There's even padding on the top bar going over the skull that my bald husband really appreciated.
My favorite part is the fact that when I take them off it hand them around my neck it automatically pauses my music and then resumes playing once I put it back on. 👍
I like that the L and R are printed on the inner earphone mesh in large letters so I don't have to have my readers on to read it!
This also came with a plug-in cord feature of you didn't have Bluetooth available.
It also depends out the background noise very well. Personally I felt it was because it covers my entire ear, unlike buds.
My only complaint was it didn't have a dedicated charge cord I could keep in the beautiful carry bag to hold everything.

Best. Headphones. Ever. In. My. Life.
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: RonJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The comfort of these headphones is magnificent. The noise canceling feature is a huge blessing when you have roommates hammering pictures on the walls, and you hardly hear them. I managed to get some much needed sleep because of these. That's a six star worthy thought for me.

These noise canceling headphones have an excellent
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: TRACYJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live 680NC headphones have great sound and the best battery life I've ever seen - after 19 hours of work meetings and music streaming, the battery was still at 80%. I love that the headphones can be connected to 2 devices, and will automatically switch between my phone and computer, so music pauses and my meeting connects instantly. They will even pause music when you take the headphones off your ears, thanks to Smart Audio technology. They fold up nicely and come with a protective bag, so I can toss them in a backpack without worrying about damage. JBL also includes an analog audio cable so they can still be used plugged in if the battery dies.
A couple downsides: they aren't very comfortable when wearing earnings and I found myself adjusting them often to alleviate pressure. I also managed to pinch my hand pretty hard when unfolding them due to the hinge design.
Overall the JBL Live 680NC headphones is a solid choice.

On-ear headphones with amazing fit and noise cance
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: KirkE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for on-ear headphones, these are a great option! Their fit for on-ear headphones is great and snug and they passively seal very good, which allows the ANC 2.0 noise cancellation to really shine. They are very impressive. They sound great too, with bass that you would expect from JBL. Compared to the old version of Live NC on ear headphones, these are much better, and with the metal based hinges and frame they have such high quality feel and appearance.

Premium Build, Great Sound, and Long Battery Life
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: HarishRK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using JBL LIVE 680NC for daily listening, calls and occasionally travel, and overall i am very happy with it. The build quality looks very premium and headphones look sturdy and well- made. The sound quality is very clear with good bass, making music more enjoyable without being too overpowering. The noise cancellation works well in reducing background noise, especially in busy environments. Tehy feel comfortable on my ears even after wearing them for long periods as the ear cusions are so soft. Battery life is so impressive - i can use it for several days before need to plug in for charging. The controls are easy to use and bluetooth connection is very stable without any drops. It would be even better if a jack pin to type c adapter is provided, as that would make it use with any phone in wired mode. Overall these are reliable headphones with great performance and looks for everyday use.

Best On-Ear headphones around
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: SeanS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I really enjoy the Live 680NC, I’m not usually a fan of On-Ear headphones but these were a lot more comfortable. A lot less pressure on the head than usual but still enough that if you used them for the gym or exercise they aren’t going anywhere. Add the great sound quality that always comes from a JBL product, great battery life, and intuitive controls with nice clicky buttons. These are a great deal!
