JBL Live 460NC - Wireless On-Ear Bluetooth headphones with Active Noise Cancelling technology and up to 50 hours battery life, in black

Product Information

However, note that some apps and devices seem to compensate for latency differently, so your results may be different. They're comfortable, well-built, and can be used wirelessly, which helps eliminate the chances of something snagging the headphones and pulling them off your head. If you touch the JBL's logo on the left ear cup for two seconds or hold the middle button for two seconds, you can activate voice assistant (either Google Assistant or Alexa). What's more, it's disappointing that when users are working out at the gym, the music suddenly pauses, preventing them from concentrating. Furthermore, the available Bluetooth profiles on the Live 460NC are the HFP (Hands Free Profile), the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and the AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile).

A five star rating is 2020 minutes or more, and similarly 1540 minutes for four stars, 1060 minutes for three stars and 580 minutes for two stars. The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. The JBL Live 460NC have a neutral sound profile with a touch of extra thump and rumble, making them suitable for a variety of audio content. I am not able to make frequency response measurements good enough, so I am posting a link to another review that includes plenty of measurements.They can also block out the high-pitched noise of an AC unit, although their ANC doesn't offer much better performance than their passive capabilities in this regard.

For truly wireless headphones, it is the battery life of the earbuds only, excluding recharges from charging cases - this means that even the best truly wireless headphones tend to get a mediocre score here, as the per-charge battery life is low compared to other types of headphones. Right out-of-the-box, they have a neutral sound profile with a touch of extra bass to bring out thump and rumble in your mixes. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. If you're listening to audio at high volumes in a noisy environment, people around you shouldn't hear it. However, our new test bench uses an average of three measurements instead of one, resulting in 51 ms of latency on iOS when using 'Video Mode'.

While both are well-built and comfortable, the JBL have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. I made more measurements in the wired (cable) mode and also some listening comparisons between the wired and wireless modes.

They have a better performing active noise cancelling (ANC) feature and are compatible with the JBL Headphones app, which allows you to adjust their sound profile using their parametric EQ and presets. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. Another dip in the high-mid slightly weakens vocals and lead instruments, while a peak in the low-treble makes the upper harmonics of these sounds a bit harsh.If you come across another variant of these headphones, please let us know in the discussions, and we'll update our review. here), that we get rid off the annoying cable connecting the headphones with the DAC, or PC, or phone.

That said, L/R drivers are well-matched in frequency and phase response, which is important for the accurate placement and localization of objects (like voices or footsteps) in the stereo image.
