At the risk of stating the obvious, JBL is one of the most well-known brands in audio, and for good reason. The company’s speakers and audio accessories typically have thousands of five-star ratings on Amazon. JBL's over-ear cans are especially popular and Amazon has several models on sale for up to 50% off. Get ready for superior audio quality and meet your reading goal for the year by listening to audiobooks.
Amazon's No. 1 bestsellers are the perfect melding of budget-friendly and brawny. A two-hour charge-up can yield up to 40 hours of play time, while Bluetooth 5 technology keeps you engaged, no matter what the conditions.
It's not just, um, all about that bass here...though, yeah, it'll blow your mind. These cans can also pump out tunes for 35 hours on a single charge. Add hand-free calling and voice control, and you're looking at the total package.
Battery life? Check. Comfort? Check. Noise cancelling? That silence is proof enough.
On-ear headphones typically offer a more immersive audio experience than earbuds, plus some users find them a lot more comfortable. Well, JBL's Tune 510BT are better than most. How? Let us count the ways. They offer the brand's signature Pure Bass sound and have wireless Bluetooth 5.0 streaming. Then there's their workhorse of a battery, which will give you up to 40 hours of listening time on a single charge. How about some voice assistance? Just press the button on the ear cup and get Siri or Google on the job.
“These are very good headphones, and I don't just mean based on the price,” said one shopper. “These are all-around great headphones! I had Beats for four years that just fell apart. Searched on a budget and decided on these, and I don't feel like I am sacrificing at all. Very comfortable. Not tight on my head at all. I travel on airplanes twice a month, so I wear these for hours on end. No earache or head pressure. I also like that the controls aren't directly on the side, so when I doze on a plane the volume doesn't get adjusted or pause is hit.... Sound is crisp, bass is bumping, volume is perfect — no complaints!”
Know what? When it comes to the 760NCs, the following testimonial is more convincing than any sales pitch of ours....
"I have two young kids and needed some noise-cancelling headphones when I started working from home. I didn't want to spend $350 for Sony or Bose, so I took a chance on these ones, and I'm super glad I did," said this mother-knows-best. "I also recently took a flight and put the noise cancelling to the test, and I ended up falling asleep on the plane because it worked so well — ha, ha. I've never done that before. You can stop comparing headphones, because these ones are perfect!"
"What really blew my mind, in addition to the OUTSTANDING sound quality of the JBL headphones is how long the battery lasts. I use my JBLs when I go to Planet Fitness and the battery lasts for weeks. I downloaded the JBL headphone app to use its' equalizer and love it. It's interesting that JBL has separate apps for their Charge 5 speaker and headphones; the headphone app has a better equalizer," said one fan. "I use Google to turn on Noise Cancelation or answer the phone. Finally, I purchased another set for my friend's birthday present."
