Love these headphones!
I’ve been using these headphones for a few weeks now, and I’m very pleased with them. Most importantly, the sound quality is excellent. Everything sounds crystal clear, especially with the noise cancellation turned on. It’s also great that you can enable the ambient mode when you don’t want to completely block out background noise.
The headphones are comfortable to wear, although they can feel a bit warm in higher temperatures. The battery life is outstanding—I’ve only had to charge them once so far—and they recharge quickly as well. The Bluetooth connection is smooth, reliable, and offers an impressive range.
Overall, I would definitely recommend these headphones.

Excellent build quality with very solid performanc
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a SOLID performer! Excellent sound quality! The anc works! I love the quick access built in button that let's you toggle between noise cancelation and talk through. The surrounding sound difference is like night and day! The build quality seems to be more solid than previous headphones that I've owned of JBL. They have weight to them and clearly the materials used in the frame of the headphones are of high quality! The ear cushions are very comfortable and are made to worn for long periods of time. I love the included wired listening feature! My next test will be with PS5 gaming!

Awesome sound, portability, and function-a bit lac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Music sounds incredible in these headphones—crystal clear melodies; deep, resounding bases; and sharp vocals. Sounds shine in a variety of genres: electronica, pop, hip-hop, jazz, and more. The charge lasts a long time and they fold up easily for adventures on-the-go. It connects easily on Bluetooth and the traveling case keeps them clean and contained. The only drawback for me was comfort: my ears get a bit sore from the size of the cups and I find I can only wear them comfortably for about an hour. Still perfect for a workout: get music to pump you up, wipe them off, and store easily for the next time!

Great features! User friendly.
I am over the moon with this headphone. I used it know for over a month. It came with a printed manual which I didn't understand. But, the headphone also comes with an app which is so easy to use and to get to know your headphones. The headphones have an option to put on a volume limiter which is handy when you became older and want to protect your ears. You can also choose for an option where you can still hear the traffic.
The only downside is that I can't bend over while wearing the headphones, otherwise they fall off.
Overall it is worth the price!

On-ear headphones with amazing fit and noise cance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for on-ear headphones, these are a great option! Their fit for on-ear headphones is great and snug and they passively seal very good, which allows the ANC 2.0 noise cancellation to really shine. They are very impressive. They sound great too, with bass that you would expect from JBL. Compared to the old version of Live NC on ear headphones, these are much better, and with the metal based hinges and frame they have such high quality feel and appearance.

Fine headset
The headset fits snugly around the ear and has perfect noise canceling. It’s also nice that you can choose from different settings depending on how much ambient noise you want to block out. For me, the headset is a bit too tight, and I tend to sweat in it quite quickly. The sound quality is excellent, but if I move around and get a bit further away from my device, the connection drops out. I’m not sure if it’s down to my smartphone/Bluetooth or the headset itself. It’s a shame, because otherwise it’s top quality.

Excellent all around performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been able to use the JBL Live 680NC for the past few weeks. I recently took the headset on vacation with me and I absolutely love them. The battery life was very impressive. I also never had a headset that paused my music for me when I took it off my ears and resumed play once I put them back on. Such a COOL feature! They're very comfortable and very easy to use. The noise cancellation is easy to find while wearing and the sound quality is excellent.

My go-to for on ear headphones
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed with this pair of headphones! Very comfortable and the noise cancelling is one of the best I've tried. I wear these at the gym and they stay on for all my workouts while being able to cancel out the surrounding sound completely. As soon as I turn them on the connect to my phone automatically which makes it seemless. The build quality is outstanding, very high quality and seem very durable to withstand everyday use. Highly recommend.
