Design
I previously had a Wired Beats Pro, currently TWS earbuds from Bluedio and QCY, and currently a Steelseries Wireless Headset in terms of gaming. I must honestly say that the Beats pro had very good noise canceling, but of course you pay for that, because Beats from Dr. Dré and Apple was also the top prize for. JBL's partnership with Harman (which I also had a speaker from, I thought the bass was very good, but the balance of the sound not so good. These headphones, on the other hand, I think the JBL LIVE460NC is a suitable Christmas gift because the sound is on the better side than expected for such a model, I also really like the function of pausing music when you remove the headphones from your head. JBL has put a good headphone on the market with this product. However, JBL may work on the button layout, refine the bass slightly (which you can also do yourself with the EQ functions), and improve the ANC somewhat (without having music on), because there is a small noise in it. I also think that the pillow could be softer to do something more about comfort, on the other hand, the material is comfortable what has been used. I also think it's a shame that the Perfect Stereo Calls function is not really fulfilled. The app, on the other hand, is simple and easy to use and works as it should. I don't know what the app should do other than switching some settings on and off more easily if you don't want to do that via the headphones. Ultimately, when weighing the + and –' and I feel the +'s prevail and can recommend this product to purchase as a Christmas gift to other music lovers.

On-ear headphones are not suitable for me. Before too long, this thing is just going to hurt my ears, and that's not so chill. That said, there is decent sound from these headphones: good bass, clear. But it is not impressive. The ANC is okay but far from great - I've used headphones that offered the same degree of isolation from ambient noise without the ANC. The design is nice, it's a nice thing, but I don't find the buttons themselves intuitive and it's too busy on the right ear of the headphones. You really have to know very well which button is which to get the right one. The on/off button is in the most accessible place while you should need it the least number of times, so that's also weird and I don't think it shows ease of use. The automatic on/off function switches on too easily, which is annoying. You can turn it off via the app, but hey, that doesn't make it a good feature. Overall not impressed, but with the qualification that I am not a fan of on-ear headphones. The ambient noise function is cool by the way, but on the bike, where you would like to use it, it is too good and you sometimes only hear wind. Sin.
