JBL need I say more?
These headphones are amazing. I own the live 770 and I thought it was too soon to upgrade. After reading all the reviews I had to have them.
The sound is the best and the features are in line with the JBL brand. I’ve been using them wired and the sound is like sitting at a concert. Do yourself a favor if you’re on the hunt for some great sounding ears!!!!

Most portable headset I own!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small head & ear friendly! Usually, I struggle with finding headphones that fit in the right position without me needing to position my hair in a way to fill up space, but I actually have to extend these a little to fit me perfectly. These headphones are light and have great sound quality, despite being more affordable than similar models. They’re straightforward to use with a sleek design, hold a charge for multiple hours straight, and are comfortable. I had to pull an all nighter for work recently and they held up the entire night on medium/high volume.
I love that these are pretty compact when folded up. I have other over-ear headphones that take up a lot of space in my bag when I have to travel into the office, but these are significantly easier to take with me. Overall great quality and sleek design - I can definitely see these being good beginner headphones for young audiophiles :)

Very high quality in every way.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live 780NC headphones have changed my expectations for headphones. They are very comfortable and the sound quality is next level. The ambient aware feature that you can adjust allows you to set how much ambient noise you want to hear and it works impressively well. I use them every time I’m out driving my side by side. Being able to adjust the ambient awareness changes the quality of your experience and makes these useful in so many different situations. The battery life is by far the most impressive I’ve experienced in wireless headphones. I would recommend them to anybody who wants high quality wireless headphones.

Buttery soft & quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All the padding is buttery soft and the fit over the ears is very comfortable, fitting nicely - even over my glasses. The bass feels great when listening to music. Nicely weighted without being too heavy.

Comfortable to wear and listen to.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are REALLY fun. The bass and the treble are excellent. The vocals come in very clear and crisp. You can tune them exactly to your liking. If you don't want to do the tuning, there's also a built-in hearing test that can customize the hearing to how your left and right ears hearing range. The headphones have both physical and touch controls which are a nice feature. The dedicated ANC, volume, and power slider are simple and easy to use.
The ANC and pass through both function very well. ANC is able to block out the sound of my treadmill and other noises (including my wife calling me). In fact the ANC seems to work better than the Beats that I have.
If you don't want to connect wirelessly, you can also go wired with the included usb-c to 3.5mm cord.
The battery life is great. I can get through an entire work week with ANC on without needing to charge. If I do need to charge it, it gets to a full charge quickly. There is very little downtime with these headphones if you really listen to them all the time.
The headphones fold down into a really tiny package and don't take up a lot of space should I put them down on my desk when charging.
I also like that they easily adjust on your head and are very comfortable on the ears.
These headphones have made it into my rotation and are tons of fun to listen to. I highly recommend these if you're looking for great ANC headphones.
