Comfortable headphones with strong bass tones

Powerful bass tones
Convenient control buttons
Sturdy headphones
Details look cheap

The JBL Live 780NC delivers clear sound with solid bass tones. This makes me enjoy rap and house music even more. With the equalizer in the app, I can choose from various sound settings, so I also enjoy listening to podcasts. Unfortunately, some details on the headphones look a bit cheap.

Clear sound with powerful bass tones I immediately notice that the headphones provide clear sound with solid bass tones. I can hear vocals and instruments clearly separately, but also as a whole. For instance, in classical music, I can clearly hear every part, yet it still sounds like one orchestra. The bass tones create a clear beat in rap and house music. I do like this, but you can adjust this with the equalizer in the app if you don't. For podcasts and YouTube videos, I choose Vocal, where voices are clearly understandable.

Quick operation There is a button for Ambient Aware on the headphones. This allows me to quickly turn off the noise cancelling and hear exactly what is happening around me. I find this handy when I am on the train and want to hear an announcement. This way, I can switch quickly without having to reach for my phone. There is a button on the left earcup that allows me to quickly adjust the volume. The button feels good to press, and the sound responds quickly to my action. I find it handy that the headphones have wear detection. When I take one earcup off my ear, the music pauses immediately. This allows me to respond quickly if someone asks me something at the office. Additionally, I pause the music by giving the side of the right earcup a single tap with my hands.

Sturdy design The headphones sit firmly on my head thanks to the strong clamping force. Because of this, I also use them during a workout. They do not slide off my head when I bend forward, for example. At the same time, I hardly feel the headphones on my head because the ear cushions and headband are made of soft material. I think the matte finish on the outside gives them a stylish look. However, I do see small plastic details and cracks in the earcups, which makes the headphones look a bit cheap.

Many options in the app In the JBL Headphones app, I can choose from many different settings. This is how I set the strength of the noise cancelling and Ambient Aware. I also choose the actions for the control buttons so that I can control my music quickly. Under Audio, I choose from various preset equalizer settings, but I also set my own equalizer. I also turn on Spatial Sound here when watching a movie. This makes the sound more spacious around me and the movie sound more realistic.
