Great Headphone
The JBL Live 780NC delivers great sound quality with clear vocals and deep bass. Music sounds enjoyable across different genres, and the headphones are comfortable enough for long listening sessions. The JBL Headphones app is easy to use and offers useful customization options. The active noise cancelling works well in busy environments, although I can hear a slight hiss when ANC is enabled in quiet rooms. Another small drawback is that switching between noise cancelling and transparency mode takes a few seconds longer than expected. Despite these minor issues, the battery life, comfort, and sound quality make the JBL Live 780NC a very good choice.

Very good ANC headphones!
I am using these headphones for about 3 weeks now and i'm very satisfied with them. First of all the music quality is very good in my opinion. I have a very broad music taste, but listening to my spotify list or my personal music collection i haven't had any case where the music quality disappointed me. Second the battery life is excellent. And finally, what counts most for me, is the noise cancelling. I find it very good. It is really silent with the headphones on your head and it has already given me a lot of pleasure when i was in noisy environments.

JBL need I say more?
These headphones are amazing. I own the live 770 and I thought it was too soon to upgrade. After reading all the reviews I had to have them.
The sound is the best and the features are in line with the JBL brand. I’ve been using them wired and the sound is like sitting at a concert. Do yourself a favor if you’re on the hunt for some great sounding ears!!!!

Reliable everyday headphones
I’ve been using the JBL Live 780NC daily for commuting and working from home, and they’ve been a solid upgrade. The noise cancelling works really well on trains and in busy spaces, cutting out most background noise without feeling too aggressive. Sound quality is balanced with a bit of extra bass, which I personally enjoy for music and podcasts. They’re comfortable enough to wear for a few hours without pressure building up. The controls are easy to get used to, and pairing with my phone and laptop was quick. Battery life is excellent—I only charge them once every few days. Overall, they fit seamlessly into my routine.

Great for everyday use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are amazing. Super comfortable, extremely easy to connect to whatever device you are using. Comes with a cord to plug into computers or even on the plane. The microphone works great for phone calls. The noise cancellation works great as well as the passive listening mode, which is also remarkably easy to switch between the two. The touch controls on the right ear cup are simple to learn and remember. They also come with a great travel pouch which they fold up nice and compact into. All in all my favorite headphones to use with everyday tasks.

Very high quality in every way.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live 780NC headphones have changed my expectations for headphones. They are very comfortable and the sound quality is next level. The ambient aware feature that you can adjust allows you to set how much ambient noise you want to hear and it works impressively well. I use them every time I’m out driving my side by side. Being able to adjust the ambient awareness changes the quality of your experience and makes these useful in so many different situations. The battery life is by far the most impressive I’ve experienced in wireless headphones. I would recommend them to anybody who wants high quality wireless headphones.

Perfect fit and sound
I was looking for a pair of headphones to use during my long editing hours. The one I have (JBL too) are great but hurt my ears after a few hours.
These are perfect. The sound is clear, bass are deep and the comfort is super.
Noise reduction works perfectly.
Gestures could be more precise but I usually use laptop controls so I don't care too much.
