Review: I'm really enjoying and liking this pair of headphones - I absolutely didn't need a pair of headphones having many already to choose from but I really wanted a pair of ANC on ear headphones and the selection with ANC is pretty slim. So when the live 460nc went on sale, I decided to give them a go. As expected, the cans are much smaller than over the ear headphones and since they do fold up, they'll do very well on the go. That was the main reason for the purchase. I have a pair of over the ear cans (Anker Soundcore Q45) but I wanted something that would be smaller to travel with on airplanes. The ANC would be to help drown out the engine noise. As you can see in the pictures, they fold down nicely for storage. What I didn't know about was how well they integrate with Google Assistant. I'm still trying to figure this out but when I paired them to my phone, it actually asked me to download the companion app which I did. Through the app, I can change the equalizer and some other features that I have yet to fully explore. But I was rather surprised that it did things my pixel buds do. It'll read your messages by double tapping the left can or you can press and hold the left can and use assistant to do things. I'm still working on all the things I can do right from the headphones. The button controls are entirely on the right can and the charging port is on the left one. I don't think the right can has a touch feature like the left can does. There is a 2.5mm jack on the right can. The headband padding isn't very substantial but at the same time, I don't find these uncomfortable. They're quite comfy in fact. They won't be as comfy as the Anker over the ear but I don't think there will be a problem wearing these for hours. I've only tested them around the house for an hour at most and I got use to wearing them quite quickly. And, i have a big head. They didn't feel like they were squishing my head, something that is very very important. So far, I've only played audiobooks and a few songs from it but I've been pleased with what I'm hearing so far. But I'm also not very picky. So long as the ANC works well and I get good enough sound and it's comfy, I'm satisfied. I'll be testing these in a couple of months on a cross country flight. That will be a real test...5 hours on a plane. I'll update after that flight. Pro: Compact Comfy for on the ear ANC Google assistant integration Simple controls Cons: ANC not quite as good as over ear but that's expected. Not as comfy as over ear but again, as expected. Truthfully, if you have reasonable expectations on these I think you won't be disappointed. They're a solid mid range pair of headphones from a very good reputable company and they dish out good sound. I'll have my son test them the next time he comes back from school. He'll be a lot better at assessing the sound quality. In my eyes though, these are a great purchase for the purpose I got them for...travel. Update: Took them on my recent trip and used them for hours on the plane. The return flight was a 6 hr direct flight and I had them on the entire trip with no problems. I watched movies through the entire flight and didn't have any issues hearing the audio from the movies. I think there is better ANC in other headphones but that's also a factor of the design. I don't expect to get ANC that's better than over the ear headphones. But the comfort level was much better than i thought. I didn't run hot which I often do with other on ear or over the ear headphones. These were very comfortable for the flight. I didn't charge them after the flight there or back. I still have 70% life left according to my phone. So after 12 hours of use during flights to and from, I've still got 70%. That to me is really good. For the price you can get these for, I think they're great. I doubt they'll match up to anything like the Sony 1000XM-4 or 5s but they're also 1/3 the price on sale.
Review: Great sound, great battery life, and the noise canceling works great! - I am really satisfied with the *JBL Live 460NC*. First of all, the *sound quality* puts it at the top of my list of headphones I have ever bought. The music is clear, the bass is solid, and the vocals are well defined. You hear every detail. The noise canceling (*Noise Canceling*) surprised me — it blocks out outside noise without cutting off the music. It is perfect for use on public transportation or while working. You feel isolated, but still comfortable. *The battery is the star!* It lasts *over 40 hours* without needing to be charged. I have used it for days without a problem. And if you need it, it has *quick charge*: just 10 minutes of charging gives you 4 hours of music! The headphones are lightweight, don't press on your ears, and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The buttons are easy to use, and the Bluetooth connection is stable. The JBL app also allows you to adjust the sound to your liking. In short, if you want a quality headphone, with good battery life, excellent sound, and noise cancellation, the *JBL Live 460NC* is a good investment!
