    When I'm driving and hit a bump, or when I lightly tap the holding cross band, the speakers in my $199 660nc produce an annoying "crack" sound. Is this a function of the design? Are they intended for listening only while being still? I wear mine for work. I'm wondering weather or not I bought a defective pair.

      Last time I went to best buy the kid showed me one pair of head phones(Sony something) and said these are good... and that was it. No explanation no comparisons nothing. I asked questions and he couldn't answer so I left and have been researching for myself.
      Everytime I've been to best buy the sales people are not great. It's usually younger ones who either are not trained, or just maybe don't get paid enough.

    JBL660 NC Headphones are as good as headphones costing over $300. I have tried most of the more expensive brands, some in the $300-$600 range. The sound quality of JBL is fantastic and sounds better than some much more expensive cans. JBL is wonderful for ambient, atmospheric, oldies, classic rock, soft rock, Motown, and classical music. If you love heavy base, they are average. The noise cancelling is great. They are comfortable to wear . The construction is high quality. They work great with JBL and Bose speakers and Bluetooth devices. There are some nice protective carrying cases available. They are great for travel. If you want to save money, buy these. You won't be disappointed.

    • @Havanu81

      Indeed, they are far superior to the Sony WH-1000-X3 for instance, even though those get better reviews everywhere, which I simply don't get as those are flimsy and creaky at best, with flubby bass. Only NC is better on the Sony's honestly. I recently picked up a 660 pair for 70€. Best money I ever spend.

    I mainly listen to metal when I’m in the gym the problem I have found is none of these earbuds are loud enough so I hope over the ear head phones like this have some kick to them because I recently bought beats fit pro and they don’t hardly have any volume I have a pair of nine dollar Skullcandy plug-in ones that are louder than the beats but unfortunately they are plug-in so I’m looking for a wireless but the beats fit pro the volume is a joke for $200 so are these particular JBL 660 NC louder and have more kick them to the fit pro because I was highly disappointed and took them back??

    • @kengreene5196
      @kengreene5196 Před rokem

      I have that model in white & they are surprisingly good, considering that they are the spec and price-wise the runt of the two with bass, you can hear, separated instruments you can discern as well; indeed, it was those properties that encouraged me to hang on to them when I had problems getting my Samsung Q60A to pair with the 760 for during the first month I had them with critical reviews citing both JBL and Samsung for lack of a technology known as Low Level which initiates lip sync delay rendering the headphones incompatible with the TV finally after a half-hour diagnostic seminar with a headphone honcho step by step, cured the disorder by making me excise the faux LG speaker from the TV Bluetooth speaker list then restart it 15 minutes later inputting my 760s in the BT speaker list which it promptly recognized! I had no choice because my TV purged the headphone jack that made my JBL E35 obsolete. I used the E35 in the 2013 Insignia panel, expeditiously blacked out. Still, no biggie because these Tune760NC cans sound like my Experience Peak earbuds without their diva-like issues of only lasting 4 hours while still having 20 hrs in its charging case. On the 760NC, you can receive and chat with other callers in your contact list, which I hope to master eventually. So far, the only thing the noise canceling feature seems to do is lower the TV volume threshold value from 95 down to 50 but don't let that deter you from docking these cans because its usefulness might still behoove you, yet much like I serendipitously could still find another more critical use for it in the scheme of things! I hope my opinion calms whatever lingering doubt about these headphones.

      For what it's worth...
      I got the Tours and set the app equalizer up on all frequencies
      My android audio also has adapt sound, which I put on 60+ yrs, which sets the low mid high on more penetrating sound.
      This all makes them pretty loud when you want feel it more.
      I bought them on sale too thinking I'd just return if not happy, but
      of course as you know the quality is great, so I kept them.
      The discount was something I couldn't pass up.

  • @excelucate

    Love the sound of the 460 BUT mine have a few problems. 1) new they are tight on medium+ heads (i didn't mind this but after 1.5 hrs it got too much). 2) the tightness wore off over time as the spring steel gave with use....but this gave rise to my biggest concern....the sound kept cutting out as there are pressure pads inside the foam and the looseness on the head meant not enough pressure was being applied to turn on the sound. I wouldn't buy these again.
    PS i'm on youtube trying to find out how to fix them.

    • @meezaan104
      @meezaan104 Před 2 lety +1

      I have the skullcandy crusher ( wired and wireless ) and have tested the Tune 760 NC. In my opinion, skullcandy crusher sounds better and has a more immersive experience. Build quality of the crusher ain't great as the hinges are a weak point. First pair lasted a few years and wireless pair lasted about 2 years before both hinges gave in. Crusher has a tight clamp compared to the jbl though, so ear fatigue sets in quicker with the crusher as well as the heat. Overall I would still choose the crusher over the Jbl.

      The difference generally is that the Lives have a higher quality sound than the Tunes although do not mistaken that to mean that the Tunes are trash because they are not. Typically Tunes give a bass boosted sound and in my experience are very exciting to listen to. The Lives are more natural and balanced sounding with higher quality bass and they have eq settings from the JBL app to adjust the sound. Two key marketing phrases to look out for is JBL Pure Bass sound which is what the Tunes have and JBL Signature sound which is what the Lives have. There's also a JBL Pro sound that their Club and Tour series of buds and phones have which are even higher quality but cost more than these.

    as strong and I have a very small head and ears and my ears fit barely inside the cups. My old GuruGear over the ears bass noise cancelling ones I've had for 5 years are wayyy better than these. Definitely taking them back.

      How is the build? Is it very sturdy? Does ANC work in wired mode?

    Enjoyed the review but comments about being balanced and being tuned for nuance somewhat threw me off since that makes me think of a lack of balance.
    Understanably I enjoy a flat sound so these arent for me more rhan likely but found a new pair for 20 dollars so figured I could check them out.
    Great video.
