Review on Wireless Headphones JBL Live 650BTNC, white by Franciszka Stefaska ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The average product, you can find a better one.

Before purchasing this model, there was the E65BTNC from the prior year, which was abandoned after being tested for a year and a half (noise canceling stopped working, then the left ear in wireless mode, because of which it is possible to use only with a cable, and then the ear pads fell apart - the leatherette just fell apart). Despite all the problems with the prior model, I had to rush out and purchase a brand-new pair of headphones for myself before the holidays and assess a variety of alternative options within ten days. I haven't found anything that is a better version of this model. These are easy to wear and effective at achieving their goal; they lessen the amount of noise that can be heard on the subway in the morning and in the evening =) I find it annoying that the noise canceling feature activates automatically once I put on my headphones. As a result, I now put on my headphones and then turn off the noise canceling feature because it is unnecessary to use it outside of the subway. The buttons to change the track, pause the music, and answer calls started to malfunction after a month and eventually jammed entirely. This has the direct effect that there are times when this button accepts a call, but the call is rapidly ended once it has been accepted. And it's only been a little over a month since everything occurred! I shudder to even attempt to imagine what will follow after this, especially in light of the terrible tragedies that have already happened. Despite the fact that utilizing headphones has many benefits, I do not recommend making the investment because you will inevitably need to replace them after only a year or two of use.

Pros
  • - powerful noise suppression but a slight drop in sound quality with it - sit comfortably on the head - include a case - in the previous version of the E65BTNC was not included in the packaging - autonomy - holds up to 30 hours, I charge them on average once per week
Cons
  • I had anticipated that the latest version would somehow improve everything, but everything is also extremely horrible - bad phone connection, occasionally interference and hiss during talks - Noise cancellation is pre-activated with headphones - Noise cancellation is pre-activated with headphones. I had thought that the new version would somehow address the horrible build quality, but nothing has improved (I remind you that the sound quality is worse with it) - a capable assistant that may be called by tapping the left ear (it is possible to disable it only when used with a phone through a special application that REQUIRES geolocation to work, and on a TV or computer, you fix the earpiece and accidentally hit a hefty touch button and the "smart assistant" will make you miss a few seconds of audio)
