Review on White JBL Live 660NC Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones - Long Lasting Battery, Voice Assistant by Anastazja Chodzkiewi ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

In general, its pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

The proximity sensor that controls automatic playing and pausing seems to only react when the ear is pushed firmly; yet, the sensor starts behaving in an irritating manner as soon as the ear is approximately located in the wrong location. Even when it is turned off, there is still a sound notification that squeaks at idle whenever the sensor loses or finds an ear. Yes, I would turn off this feature and forget about it safely. However, even when it is turned off, there is still a sound notification that squeaks at idle. In addition, the exterior of the left earpiece contains a sensor that can be used to initiate a call to a personal assistant. But, despite the fact that the application is meant to have this feature deactivated, you may still see it. It is necessary to restart the headphones in order for them to become operational again. As a direct result of this, if you make any kind of adjustment to the headphones, you will be inundated with notifications, either from the proximity sensor or from the assistant, depending on which one was activated. By resetting the headphones to their factory settings (which I did by holding down the volume + and - buttons for five seconds), I was able to fix the problem with the assistant. I also solved the problem with the application by simply turning off the assistant and not turning it back on again. In this specific case, the sensor that is located on the left earpiece does not respond in any manner to being touched at all. At the time that this article was written, the most recent version of the firmware available was 3.4.0. When there was an update to the firmware, the application didn't send me any notifications; all I had to do was click on the version, and then suddenly I got an ate. By the way, the application didn't send me any notifications. A sensation that is comparable to that of having a vacuum in one's ears (even in the absence of noise reduction and while utilizing the transparency mode), which leads the head to start hurting. As was the case with vantus in the ears, it was difficult to make use of it in any way. I'm not sure whether the ear pads on these headphones have an abnormally high density, or whether this is a quality shared by all full-size headphones; either way, I find it uncomfortable. Yet, this is a matter of personal preference; for instance, I have never been a fan of suction plugs. If you do not find it appealing, then it is likely that you will not find a use for these headphones either. If you do not find it appealing, then click here. All of the benefits are outweighed by the drawbacks, which is why I took an additional pair of headphones with me. These JBL Live 460NC headphones are very similar to the first pair, but their ear pads are smaller. As a direct consequence of this, the headphones in question do not induce the vacuum effect. In addition, they have the same problems with the sensors, but because of the compact factor, these problems are not as obvious.

Pros
  • - The sound, with a significant emphasis on bass - The design - The construction quality and material - The absence of obnoxious voice notifications Controls for "Bluetooth ON/OFF" and "Power ON/OFF" are located on the Autonomy type C device.
Cons
  • The function that is supposed to automatically play or pause the music when the headphones are placed on or removed does not operate very well and does not turn off completely when the headphones are removed. This is despite the fact that the function is supposed to do either of those things when the headphones are placed on or removed. - A sensation that is analogous to having your ears filled with air instead of suction After a restart, the noise reduction settings are not saved to their previous state. When the noise reduction feature is engaged, the gusts of wind are audible with greater clarity than they would be in the absence of the feature.
