Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pretty great overall! At the very beginning of use, it made a low buzzing noise, but it went away after about a week - not sure what the issue was. Personally, it's a little too tight on my ears and head, thus it starts to hurt after prolonged use. Compared to the other headphones I've used, these provide much more detail, including panning of the instruments! I thought I was very familiar with a song, but after listening to it again with theses headphones, I was surprised to find out there was panning involved! It provides very good quality sound. Getting the charging wire out from my pc port was a violent ordeal, I was afraid it would get stuck..

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointed I kept seeing mixed reviews about these headphones. Some said they were bad, some said they were good. So i took a gamble and bought these at my local best buy store and tried them. I didn't like them. Granted i love jbl products. My last pair of jbl i had i loved them. Which was i think the 510 bt. But these particular model of headphones they have i think just aren't that good. The noise cancelling sucked. Kept hearing this sound like wind was in my ears. That and the sound quality sucked. Which on here i did see that others reviewed the sound quality only to be a 1.8. Which i say is accurate the sound quality on these sucks. Jbl i know you can do alot better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeded my expectations! It is very comfortable. I was very comfortable jogging in them but not recommended for intense workouts. The noise cancelling is very effective. My neighbors can be quite loud so I was very pleased with these headphones as I needed get a peace of mind from all the noise outside. Also the sound quality is amazing!! I am pretty picky when it comes to headphones and sound quality but I felt like I was wearing a very expensive pair of headphones. I was also impressed with the connectivity to the headphones and how quickly and easy it pairs with my phone. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Faulty/ bad warranty-performance The headphones seemed to be great - good app, great sound. Since I couldn't charge the battery I had to send it in at JBL Germany, where I currently live. The headphones that were barely 3 weeks old when I had to send them in at some repair-service-firm. Neither can I get hold of anybody competent at JBL Germany nor does anybody of their repair-service react to my mails. I'd have expected JBL to send a replacement immediately instead of which I've been a longer time without than with these headphones. Summary: Probably good headphones, very bad warranty-/repair-service.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from FIX your "My Headphones" App, JBL! 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.

Product Q&A

How do these connect on airplanes to watch a movie and cancel out ambient noise. As the airplane jacks are different.&nbsp;

Asked by: DebBog
Most of the airplanes have the 3.5mm female jack for audio output, so it should not be a problem. I have used it on a flight between Amsterdam and Brazil last week and it worked perfectly, the Noise Cancellation as well.

Can I mute and unmute directly from the headset, or the app? I use the headset to connect to video calls on my computer, and would like to mute and unmute myself while away from my pc. Thanks

Asked by: Justin 27
The mute and unmute function only works for phone calls while the JBL Live 660NC is connected via Bluetooth. Press and hold the middle button for 2 seconds to mute or unmute the mic.

Is it possible to use an aux cable with a microphone and will the aux cable mic work with the headphones??

Asked by: Charles007
If you have a cable with an inline mic it will work, but it appears the cable that comes with this model does not include a mic. I am using the Tour One whose cable also does not include a mic, but was able to use the cable from the live 650btnc which included a mic and does work.

Are these headphones sweat resistant?

Asked by: Gggg13
Our JBL Live 660NC doesn't have an IPX rating which means that this is not sweat-proof. For sports/workout activities, we recommend checking our sports headphones with sweatproof ratings, such as JBL UA Project Rock Over-Ear Training headphones.

Are they sweat proof? I&rsquo;d like to be able to workout in these and want to make sure sweat won&rsquo;t damage them.&nbsp;

Asked by: laurel123

can they be used for tv listening

Asked by: Anonymous
Our JBL Live 660NC is recommended to pair with mobile phones, tablets, and laptops through Bluetooth connection. It can be connected to a Bluetooth capable TV. However, you may experience audio-video delays as these headphones don't have APTX HD low latency codec.

Is it possible to turn off the mic in the headphones? It sometimes picks up on random noises and calls people.

Asked by: Kaydi C
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa Apps should only respond to your voice and these applications would only respond to certain keywords. We would like to work with you directly to troubleshoot this issue you're experiencing with our JBL Live 660NC. Please contact customer service at. https://bit.ly/2WocMfi
