The JBL Tune 760NC Wireless headphones offer a quality option with their combination of features and price point, as they have a neutral sound and some level of noise cancellation. However, the headphones don’t quite deliver on their noise-cancellation promises.

Overview

The JBL Tune 760NC is a 2016-model mid-range wireless pair of headphones that boasts active noise canceling (ANC) tech for use on the go. This device has a high-quality over-the-ear design and powerful 40mm drivers to deliver audio from podcasts, music, and movies.

You can find similar devices on our list of the best headphones today. This headset is quite handy on the go, featuring a rechargeable battery.

It connects via Bluetooth, supporting dual-device pairing. On-ear controls allow adjusting the volume and receiving calls conveniently. The device also works with voice assistants, allowing simple voice-based operation.

However, it doesn’t have a mobile app, so you can’t adjust the sound profile and other settings remotely. Continue reading our JBL Tune 760NC review, and check out the most popular over the ear headphones on the market.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The JBL Tune 760NC headphones have a tight fit, which makes them uncomfortable for long listening sessions. However, soundwise, they have a bass-heavy sound profile that adds depth to audio, but the ANC feature, when tested, is not the strongest when it comes to blocking out bass-heavy background noise.

Build-wise, the headphones are made of sturdy plastic, but they don’t have an IP rating for water and dust resistance Overall, the sound quality is generally clean and detailed, appealing to a wide range of audio content.

The headphones excel in terms of battery life, with a 40+ hour continuous usage time. The headphones can also be hooked up to a wired connection which reduces latency during gaming sessions. However, the headphones don’t have a companion app and lack customization features.
