    It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

    The proximity sensor for automatic playback / pause apparently only reacts to a strongly pressed ear, and if the ear is almost located in the wrong place, the sensor starts to act naughty. The problem is not as pronounced as on the JBL Live 660NC, but it still causes some inconvenience. And okay, I would turn off this function and forget about it safely, but after all, when you turn it off, there is still a sound notification that squeaks at idle when the sensor loses or detects an ear. Alsoā€¦

    Pros
    • - Sound, pronounced bass - Design - Build quality, material - No stupid voice notifications "Bluetooth ON / OFF" and "Power ON / OFF" - Autonomy - Type C
    Cons
    • - The auto play / pause function when putting on / taking off the headphones does not work well and does not turn off completely. - Strongly squeeze the head - Noise reduction settings are not saved on reboot. - In noise reduction mode, the wind is heard more strongly than without noise reduction.

    The purchase brought only positive emotions.

    In general, I am very satisfied with the purchase. These are comfortable and not too big "ears" with which you can talk normally and listen to music in the subway without turning on full power.

    Pros
    • Good sound, pleasant noise reduction (both passive and active). A good micro (I bought it for online classes, I can hear it well). There is a metal headband under the braid, because of which there is no feeling of fragility, as in purely plastic Jbl (compared with jbl tune 660nc).
    Cons
    • Pretty hard leatherette ambishurs. The first couple of days, out of habit, my ears ached, but this is almost a full day of wearing. The headband is also quite rigid, it can put a lot of pressure on a large head. A strange position when folding, such as one earpiece under the other (pictured). You can fold them inside the headband, but then, due to the diameter of the "ear", they take up a lot of space. Active noise canceling does not work on video calls.

    I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

    I bought instead of the frayed Marshall Major 2, the choice fell on this model, because I bought my sons as a gift for NG on headphones: JBL Tune 500BT and JBL Tune 660NC, listened and liked the sound in general, and I needed Multipoint to work with the iPhone and MacBook (works well, almost like native Apple AirPods Pro, except that they are not synchronized through the account, but this is an Apple feature) By cons - compared to the JBL Tune 660NC, it is not possible to use noise cancellation

    Pros
    • 1. Sound quality 2. Spacious sound stage 3. Quality workmanship (at least for now) 4. Multipoint support.
    Cons
    • 1. Noise canceling in the wind 2. Strongly press the ears. 3. Changes the sound stage when the noise reduction is on. 4. When turned on, noise reduction is always active, you have to turn it off.

    I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

    The headphones themselves look decent and not fragile. buy a cover for them and you will be happy) Rating 4- for small flaws, and in principle there is nothing perfect

    Pros
    • They sit comfortably on a small Head, the sound is excellent, they connect quickly By bluetooth, they are worth their money, they keep charging well, they havenā€™t charged it for a month of use.
    Cons
    • When connected to a computer via a cord, one ear does not work, resetting the equalizer and noise reduction settings after each disconnection of the headphones, you have to go into the application every time and configure, I hope in the future they will make the firmware and everything will be clear. The light color of the headphones is easily soiled, no matter how hard you try to take it with clean hands). When you walk down the street with noise reduction, the wind creates a rumble, so it's better to turn it off, the ear pads suppress the noise well!

    The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

    Before that, there were (and are) JBL Tune 500 BT. They are easier to notice, but worse on the head. Yes, they have worse sound and no noise reduction, and wires too, but they are 2 times cheaper. In general - good headphones, there are no critical complaints.

    Pros
    • Sound quality, operating time, active noise reduction, on / off button, usb-c, minijack wire (top!). appearance, quality of materials. Unlike the JBL Tune 500 BT, there is no "mute" effect when the playback sound is very quiet (for example, when the sound level is low or in a movie when there is no sound). I have a head of 56 cm (size M) - they fit me well, even with an excess.
    Cons
    • Weight (heavy) - because of this, after a while, about an hour, the socks begin to put pressure on the top of the head, the noise reduction does not save from the wind (it whistles very loudly, you have to put the hood on your head), automatic pause / playback when removing the headphones works crookedly and wildly annoying: I almost put on my headphones in the wrong way, starts to pause / play randomly. They also made the sound of the connection nastier. On earlier models it was nicer.

    Good value for money, I recommend it.

    Tight fit (minus for some, plus for some), but wearing glasses with thick temples is uncomfortable to use. Noise canceling is average, sometimes it saves, sometimes it doesnā€™t, but the sound cuts a lot, on a noisy street it does an excellent job of earplugs, even without turning on the music, whoever has migraines will appreciate it. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase, not perfect, but good.

    Pros
    • Quite a decent sound, the microphone when used for calls is 4, the build quality and pleasantness in the hands are on top, for six months of use no backlash came out, I did not expect this from a folding design, very strong, solid.
    Cons
    • They make a lot of noise in the wind, for myself I solved the problem simply - I put on rag hair bands between the case and the earpiece (pictured). After ating to 3.6.0, the state of the noise suppressor is no longer remembered, now it always turns on with the headphones, I have not tried to roll back yet. Autonomy even with noise reduction turned off is noticeably worse than that of the previous Sony DR-BTN200 (the model is simpler, there is no noise reduction).

    Good product, I recommend that you try it.

    The price is justified. Charge type c, charges quickly and you get tired of discharging them, they hold for a long time. The noise reduction is not badly implemented, but when activated, the highs immediately become metallic and the mids rise up. However, they don't sound bad. There is a transparency mode (ala AirPod Pro), this is when you, on the contrary, hear everything around, but with headphones on your head. Folding. Convenient buttons, they are physical and easy to find. There is anā€¦

    Pros
    • Good sound (if not a music lover); Active noise cancellation; fast charging; Long working time.
    Cons
    • I do not advise you to take light ones, the bow is lined with fabric and gets dirty quickly. The ear pads are soft, leatherette, and it seems that soon they will either disperse along the seam or begin to peel off. The voice assistant from Amazon for the 2022 is not relevant. With active movement, knocking in the ear pads if the noise reduction mode is activated.

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    Product satisfying the quality of the product, good price.

    What I liked about the ears is their appearance, they are comfortable and stylish, the cups are small, the ear cushions are soft, the headband is made of fabric (cool). They turn on easily by moving the button, it will not be possible to confuse them, they are connected instantly. Even when you take off the headphones, they stop playing, put them on and play again. The most important (+) is their autonomy, it is unrealistic to defuse them. The signal catches stunningly around the apartment andā€¦

    Pros
    • - appearance - autonomy - manufacturing materials -convenience - blue tooth connection
    Cons
    • - bass sound -noise reduction

    The purchase brought only positive emotions.

    White headphones get very dirty, especially in summer. you have to clean them all the time. So take the dark ones, by the way they are very loud! Different pros: Not killed, the charge is kept for a very long time ! Sound quality and app. Good microphone. Some cons: I didnā€™t like Google Assistant, although someone might come by. Personally, I don't use it.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

    Very good sound, they really work for a long time without recharging, the connection never fell off, the control couldnā€™t be easier, it doesnā€™t put much pressure on my ears, even though my head is big, at the end of the day my ears ache a little, but it doesnā€™t happen without it. Personally, my rating is five plus

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

    Everything is good in these headphones, but the maximum volume disappointed, the technology of these headphones sacrifices a lot of volume in exchange for sound quality, as a result, heavy metal and rock will not work with pleasure, vacuum ones in this regard are cheaper and better

    Revainrating 1 out of 5

    Think twice before buying - product is disgusting.

    They simply cannot be used. With every movement of the head, the sound is muted, and bang-bang is heard in the headphones. In the settings, the "Play / Pause" item is disabled, but the motion sensor still continues to work. They can only be used while sitting in a chair.

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    Normal quality, you can use it.

    the convenience of a schrƶdinger when convenient; when it happens that itā€™s convenient, but you take off your headphones and your ears hurt (namely, the auricles from wearing) Its pros: high quality and clear sound noise suppression headphone control (buttons, etc. ) you can connect two devices and switch between them at the touch of a button durable and heavy, build quality Some cons: sluggish application, equalizer settings do not change very quickly not comfortable (more in the comments)

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

    Below are some advantages: Although I took it before the new year, the look and sound are fairly standard, and the battery has not yet been charged. Cons include the fact that the JBL application pauses, does not function, and that noise reduction is automatically enabled while connecting to a computer.

    Sound quality that is satisfyingly clear for wireless over-ear headphones. A multitude of features, including the suppression of noise as well as the capability to play sound through the wire that is included with the kit. Has some drawbacks I find that it puts more pressure on my ears than I would like it to. In addition, it is not yet evident how to arrange the noise reduction mode to be off by default, so that it does not turn on every time.

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

    Pros below: Sound, TalkThru and Ambient aware, AAC support (used in spotify), charge, ease of use (fold, materials are strong, you get used to the buttons quickly) With its cons. ANC noticeably spoils the sound (bass is especially audible), the automatic pause function works crookedly when the headphones are removed, they put pressure on the ears

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

    Different pros: Bluetooth has excellent sound, a voice assistant, a microphone - a full-fledged headset and ears in one bottle. Has some cons over the wire it sounds louder than it should, as a result, the ears gurgle - I took two sets to the family and both have it, so it's not a marriage, but a feature of the model.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

    Has pros: Bought a pair for children 10 years old, the size turned out to be what you need, easily connected to the tablets Has some cons On one of the headphones, for some reason periodically (1-2 times for the entire time of use) one of the speakers turns off. If it continues like this, I'll take it in for repair.

    A wonderful product, its nice to use.

    The sound quality is quite acceptable overall, although there is a slight deficiency in the high frequencies. If you listen carefully on the street, you'll notice that low ones neither strain nor tambourine. Everything is in order with them. When I'm working on my computer at home and listening to music in the background, the bass can be a little overwhelming. With all due respect to JBL, however, the headphones come equipped with an equalizer that can be customized through a specializedā€¦

    Pros
    • Sound that is pleasing to the ear, an equalizer, quality of materials and construction, swivel and foldable bowls, USB Type-C port, and long battery life
    Cons
    • When activated, the noise cancellation feature cannot be deactivated and requires the user to perform two button presses each time.
