Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great sound, compact size I really enjoy these, they get a bit warm when worn awhile but they sound really great and the NC is fantastic. Pros: Bluetooth range is great Great sound when NC is on NC works very well Battery life is great Muffs are comfy USB-C Cons: Get a little warm Sound isn't very good with NC off Press into head a little too much, might be able to bend them out though. Pause and play Auto function cannot distinguish between adjustment or removal. No storage bag include Overall they are a great value and the sound is worth the price. The noise cancelling really enhances the immersive experience personal headphones provide.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing headphones!! I was sent these headphones as part of a tester club and in all honestly they are fantastic. The sound quality is brilliant, easy to use, great battery life and Bluetooth range is fab too. The noise cancelling feature is great too, I asked my son to shout at me whilst I had music playing through them and i could see his mouth moving but couldn't hear his voice. I will make sure I buy myself a pair of these before I send them back to the tester club. My other headphones don't compare to these at all. Amazing headphones and in my eyes anyone who is a music fanatic and wants something with clear, crisp sound then these are for you!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Sleek design/ portable Received these headphones a day ago and used them all day. For one, these headphones fit perfectly on any bag/backpack. Although the ear cups do not fully cover your ear, they do have a noise canceling feature and blocks most of the outside noise, which I liked a lot. You get fully imursed in Audi or content you are watching. Even thought these are not gaming headphones, I did compare these to the JBL Quantum ONE for size comparison so you could see headphones that fully cover your ear. However, they are comfortable to use and can be adjusted at the top. Bluetooth 5.0 made is easier to connect to my smartphone. Make sure to download the JBL headphones app to fully customize audio, activate if you'd like. The default settings by themselves sound very clear with good bass. Overall great headphones. Battery was amazing!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Verdict: Pleasantly surprised These are my first pair of on-ear headphones, and while I don't think they'll be replacing my go-to over-ear pair, I do like a few things about them more than the over-ears. The biggest advantage is definitely in portability - the 460NC are really lightweight and easy to bring around on the go. Despite being lightweight, they feel pretty sturdy and well-made, and I really like the headband texture. While I still prefer my over-ear headphones from a comfort and immersion perspective, I was pretty impressed by how good the noise cancellation on these was - definitely better than I expected. Overall, great set of headphones, especially if you're already a fan of the on-ear style.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great sound The sound quality of these headphones is very good. The noise cancellation is excellent. And when I am exercising or walking in public, you can switch on the ambient sound, allowing you to listen to your music, whilst being aware of what is going on, around you. The only issue I have with them, is if your wearing these for 2 hours or more, they can hurt your ears, as the headphones do sit on your head quite tight, which is the only reason I have not scored them 5 stars.

Product Q&A

Is it possible to use these headphones to participate in a Teams meeting on my computer (listen and talk)?

Asked by: Mshka
Our JBL Live 460NC should be able to connect to any Bluetooth-capable device. In most cases when a Computer/PC/Laptop has issues connecting to a Bluetooth device (Portable speaker, Headphones, Active speakers), it's caused by your Computer/PC/Laptop's Bluetooth driver (software). The driver (software) should support the following Bluetooth protocols, to be able to play music/sound from your Computer/PC/Laptop: &bull; A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) driver for your Computer/PC/Headphones to transfer music. &bull; AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) driver to send skip/forward/pause/play music to your device Always get the latest driver version available for your Computer/PC/Laptop. To download the correct driver (software), visit the manufacturer's website of your Computer/PC/Laptop. They usually have a &quot;Support/Download&quot; section where you can find the correct driver. Otherwise, we advise you to contact their support. The standard drivers provided by Microsoft/Windows system are not correct and will result in error messages (such as having to enter a PIN code), or pairing will not work.

Are these headphones sweat resistant? If I have them on while doing a light jog, what might happen? Will they stop working?

Asked by: Bobby B
Our JBL Live 460NC does not have an IPX rating which means that these headphones are not sweat/water resistant but a light workout would be ok as long as the headphones do not get wet.
