Solid Entry Level Headphones
on June 24, 2026
Posted by: DavidS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are a great value for the money. These have all the features you'd find on more expensive headphones, like ANC, app connectivity to configure multiple settings, and great battery life. Even though these are all plastic, they feel sturdy and are built to last.
The sound quality on these is very good; highs, mids and bass blend together perfectly to create clear, balanced sound, even without adjusting the EQ, but of course you can always change it to your liking via the JBL app.
The built-in microphone is clear and does a good job at cancelling background noise while on a phone call.
The ANC does a decent job of cancelling noise, but it's not as good as more expensive over the ear headphones I've tried.

The only downside about these, at least for me, it's that I found them uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. The ear pads sit on top of your ears, not around them, so they can be uncomfortable if you have sensitive ears.
Again, for the price, these are really good entry level headphones. Just keep in mind they have some limitations, like the ANC, and comfort.

“You’ll be surprised, like I was”
on June 21, 2026
Posted by: ScottS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical at first period having tried other earphones with bigger muffs that surround your ear while these are slim and sit on top of your ear. My surprise, they are very comfortable around the top bridge as well as sperm yet cushy feel as the pad sits on top of your ear.
Noise canceling, surprisingly enough, even though it sits on your ear instead of around the noise canceling works I’d say 95% of the time. Great for the gym, library, office space with that annoying coworkers that sits next to you.
I do love the fact that you can fold them up quite easily like many series for these. I’m putting these through their paces and the durability so far is quite great.

What time is it? Also another fun fact if you have the JBL app on your phone once Bluetooth connects, it automatically shows up on your app. At this point, you can pretty much get them to do everything from nighttime music to adjusting how well you once you were noise canceling to kick in it. Just a bunch of lovely features.
As for the controls on the right hand side of the ear piece, I don’t care for the buttons.
Don’t get me wrong. They were just fine, but I feel they are a bit clunky. I feel with everything else build quality throughout the entire headphone is wonderful, but they doubt it back on the button. That would be the only thing I would change everything else spot on JBL well done.

Surprisingly good ANC headphones
on June 20, 2026
Posted by: ChristopherY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These on the ear headphones surprised me. I didn't think the ANC could come close to the sound quality of a over the ear pair. But they blocked out surrounding noise better than I expected. They're very lightweight and fit comfortably. Even while wearing them around my neck, they don't bother me. You will need a separate USB-C cable for charging.

Silence is Golden
on June 20, 2026
Posted by: MarkP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Long have I dreamt of noise canceling without sacrificing comfort. These lightweight JBL Headphones are just what the doctor ordered. Crystal clear sound quality and comfortable enough to wear all day. No matter what the task at hand is, these will not get in your way. Perfectly able to wear glasses with and light enough to forget you have them on. They blend wonderfully with JBL’s headphones app, allowing you to control sound volume, equalization, power control and much, much more. These headphones have seemingly infinite charge life, so no need to pack the charging cord when you head out. The noise cancellation technology in these headphones is outstanding if not magical. Engines, compressors, and power tools all fade away leaving you to enjoy your activities without external annoyances.

Killer bass! Amazing quality!
on June 17, 2026
Posted by: JonathanM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the real deal! They are super comfortable, and block out all outside noise so good that I couldn't hear my lawnmower! They are definitely durable and have buttons on the side to control/adjust to your liking. I would 100% recommend to anyone in the market for headphones!

Amazing wireless headset!
on June 15, 2026
Posted by: AngelaP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These work amazing! I work from home and use them for my teams meetings. Sound quality is great. They perform well for blocking out noises in the background. They fit comfortably over my ears and don’t weigh too much; I wear them most of the day for my meetings and through the workday. The battery life lasts a long time so I’m not constantly charging or without my headset. Being wireless is another wonderful feature, so I am not glued to my desk and the range is really good. I can walk into other rooms and still be connected. Another great JBL product! I’m a huge fan!

Good Mid-Range Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones
on June 13, 2026
Posted by: RichL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These JBL Tune 680NC bluetooth headphones fit well & low profile appearance, so they're not bulky at all & look great. Sound quality straight out of the box needs tweaking though, which is where the JBL companion app comes into play for equalizer customization. Lotsa options for fine-tuning your sound preference & button controls. ANC is pretty darn effective but because these are on-ear vs over-the-ear design, don't expect strong noise canceling. Phone calls & talk-to-text work fine as they should. Battery life is a game-changer as well as connection range as I walk through my apartment with walls not affecting the connection.
Only problem with the companion app is that the Personi Fi option is stuck on Part 1 of 3 (see pic) & therefore cannot get it to work to enhance the sound further. I've done some troubleshooting searches for advice & tried a lot of different things that still couldn't get this to work - it should not be this difficult! Therefore, I feel like this glitchy non-functional app feature is possibly holding the headphones back from maxing out on even better sound quality potential.
