These sound so good, I could have these on all the time. I have had many headphones including a set of planar type driver headphones and I think these sound even better than those. Sound is subjective I know but with the high definition audio files that Amazon Music has these headphones deliver. Be sure though to use the JBL app to control and adjust various parameters of these headphones. It really does make a difference. Battery life is very good also. Thank you for reading!

This is a surprisingly good sounding headphone. I wasn't sure that a noise cancelling headphone would have quality audio reproduction. The mids and highs are pretty flat, and have a decent and uncolored present sound quality. The bass is very audible, goes down pretty low and reproduced with tight authority. The JBL app is useful for setting up the headphone. I don't recommend using the EQ modes, as the headphone sounds great and has honest reproduction in the flat or studio setting. I evaluated the headphone with all types of music, jazz, popular music of the 70s &80s, including classical solo piano and orchestra performances. I could listen for hours without fatigue. My other headphone is a wired analog Sennheiser HD490 Pro; although an open air design, it gave me a point of reference to compare. The JBL is able to hold its own with its sound quality and useful noise cancellation. In a quiet setting, I like using the ambient mode so I can hear activity in the room; its very in-obtrusive. On an airplane I plan to set the headphone in full noise cancelling mode. Another useful feature is its built in microphone that can be used with Zoom conference and cel phone call conversations. I have not tried that yet. The Bluetooth setup was a breeze, no issues with an IPhone and IPad devices. I chose the smaller over the ear design as I plan to travel with this headphone, so I wanted something smaller and don't like earbuds and never use them. The JBL fits tightly on the ear though its not uncomfortable. I had them on for 3 hours without issues. The build quality is excellent though I won't really know until a few years pass. I'll give an update on how the headphone performs on an airplane with the noise cancellation in use.
I bought these headphones for my husband so he could work and study without the noise from the house. He says they work perfectly for him. The sound is clear, the noise cancelling helps a lot, and the battery life is long, which is very convenient for daily use. Overall, it has been a great purchase for focus and productivity.

Just got these today, so these are my first impressions. Aesthetically they are beautiful. Build quality is great. Headband and ear cups feel pretty strudy. My Sony Ult Wear at twice the price, seems way more fragile. The JBL Blue Colour is amazing to me. They are on the ear, so they definitely have a smaller profile compared to a set of Over The Ear headphones. They are comfortable but they will definitely heat up your ears. You will not be doing long hours of listening with these without some discomfort. I'm an experienced Radio Production Director by trade, so I have a lot of experience with sound and I think the sound quality is pretty good out of the box. I haven't broken them in yet. Bass is heavy. Mids are so so and the highs are decent. Using the EQ in the app I was able to get the balance right (Club Setting). It will probably get better as I use them. I certainly don't expect a pair of headphones at this price point to be stellar but I am happy with the sound. Controls: Yes they work but this is a weak point. The ear cup does what it should most of the time and sometimes none of the time. My Sony Ult Wear is far superior at this. Calls. Not a lot of experience with this, but I called my girfriend and it was clear. She said it was good and I could hear her clearly. This was in a silent room so I have no idea what things would be like on the street yet. Overall: I'm happy with these at this price point. ANC is good but is nothing compared to my girlfriends Dyson OnTrac. WOW!! Those babies are completely silent. I haven't tried these JBL's on the bus or street yet. I expect them to be ok.
Poor Bluetooth transmission. Bluetooth is less than 8 meters. Decent noise cancellation. Good sound quality 40mm speakers.
I am autistic and needed a new pair of headphones that I can wear 95% of the time to help with regulation. In the house, going to classes, going to the store, working out, riding my bike, etc. My requirements included decent noise cancellation to help me not get overstimulated, ambient mode so I can wear my headphones and listen to music without being shut out from the world around me, a comfortable long-term fit, a compact design for travel, a sleek design, and great sound quality, particularly with great bass. I've always preferred on-ear headphones, and my last pair were Beats Solo 3s. These are so much better in terms of features, the Beats are barely comparable. With these, I got all of my wishes and more. Along with the ANC and Ambient Aware modes, they have a Talk Thru mode that allows me to keep my headphones on and continue to listen to music even during conversations and lectures. I love all of the features, and interacting with them through the app. Though, I can't tell much difference when using Spatial Audio vs. when I'm not. I do wear glasses and I haven't had problems with the headphones hurting behind my ears from pushing on my glasses. I find that the swivel-ability of the headphones allows me to angle them in a way that doesn't put prolonged pressure on the back of my ear. Additionally, the design is very sleek and looks good wearing in public. The multi-connection feature is brand new to me and so incredibly handy. I work from home and have mostly online college courses, so being able to multitask and switch sound between my work and music instantly without having to change any settings is an awesome convenience. Great battery life, and wonderful sound for my very diverse music taste. I got these on sale for $75, and they have been incredible quality for that price, I would probably even pay full price for them. The mic works very well for phone calls and gaming. One of the best purchases I've made for myself, and definitely the best set of headphones I've ever had.
Best damn headphones. I used to own an old set of Seinheiser over ears ones, similar to this style. These JBLs are half the price and twice the quality. the ANC is excellent in a noisy cafe where I like to work, they're comfortable and the stock sound is beautifully even with a slight extra warmth that JBL's so good for. They have a nice substantial weight, which gives me that 'makes em like they used to' feeling, in a great way. Folds up very compact for such a meaty headset too. Very comfortable and nice to the touch. The app is suprisingly developed, all the options I could imagine and the touch pad interface is a nice extra 'touch' as it were. Comes with a 3.5inch jack for corded use, which is epic for doing my sound editing gigs without Bluetooth latency. I want to buy a second pair just in case I can't buy them again in the future.
