Fantastic Headphones!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5These JBL Live 650BTNC wireless noise headphones are FANTASTIC! Battery lasts all day long use and great noise cancelling. Padding is so comfortable over the ear and around your head that you forget you have them on. Much better than headphones in your ear that could cause blisters if you wear them all day. Extremely easy to use buttons. Great quality at an even better price! I mentioned Battey life lasts all day, but I haven’t figured out how to track Battey life.

Many uses
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality3 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5While yes, these are super useful and I’m glad I have them these aren’t the best quality. I do like that you can listen to music, take phone calls, and that I can walk a few feet away from my phone while completing tasks and not lose the connection too much. However, sometimes people have a hard time hearing me. They complain a lot about background noise drowning my voice out. Especially when it’s a public place where you it’s not a good idea to raise your voice. I mean, do you really want to shout “ALMOST DONE!” in the middle of the grocery store because the grandparents (whom I love and deeply appreciate) can’t text and are worry warts? Not me! Can you imagine the stares? Another thing is that it very slightly degrades music. It’s not the same experience as listening to it on the Bose speakers..,from 2008. Not sure if it’s one of those “they just don’t make things the way they used to” situations but I digress on the criticism. Again, I’m glad I have them. I rather have them than not have them. Maybe I’m just a little spoiled from past products but these are good.

A big disappointment
|Posted .Features
Quality2 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5Great design and comfortable. For the price I expected a better sound quality. Also, when I turn on the noise canceling feature, the feature will turn itself off. I guess the bottom I am disappointed in these headphones. The price does not match what I’m getting.

Crap
|Posted .Owned for 6 months when reviewed.Features
Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use1 out of 5Piece of crap. Failed at less than 6 months. Began to make funny and unusual beeping noise at month 3. Would not turnoff even after following customer service direction let battery die then recharge it fully then press Vol +/- at the same time to reset. Nothing happened. It just stay on until battery dies off. You would think something so expensive would last a bit longer. I do own a piece of skullcandy and this thing won't stop working. Still rocking after 5 years. Foam fell off but still plays. I needed ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) when I am home and at the local coffee spot. That is why I purchased this. The JBL650 has failed me. Will try a Sony or Bose next time. Audiophile here!

Terrible durability
Posted .Features
Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've owned two pairs of these, and both suffered the same design flaws. The hinge that connects the hearcups to the headband half plastic and metal. The hinge system is made to bend and spin, saving space in it's provided carry bag. This is the weak point of the product. First, the plastic portion in the headband is thin and cracks over time with use. Second, there is a metal pin that connects the two major parts, and it only held in with friction. Over time this pin loosens and falls out. My original pair was replaced with a refurbished unit. Unfortunately this refurbished unit suffers the same design flaw. I was informed by customer service that the warranty length is only for the original purchase date, regardless of the number of replacement/exchange units. They would not replace/exchange my current headphones as it's past the year warranty of the original purchase date. In short, these headphones are disposable. I do not recommend. I do not know if other JBL models have this issue, I will not to the risk of purchasing from JBL in the future.

Great sound and superb noise cancelling feature
|Posted .Owned for 9 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Noise cancellation, Sound qualityI'm very happy with these headphones. I used them daily and they last more than 6 hours. They recharge really fast and even when they are not charged they can be used as regular headphones by just adding the audio cord. The noise cancelling feature is perfect, I cannot hear someone talking next to me or outside noise at all. The app allows you to connect to Alexa and configure specific sound modes. The mic works well, I have not heard complaints from callers. I like the build quality, they come on a nice carry bag I used at the beginning but stopped using it after a few drops and letting my kids use them. They are simply roughed, well constructed and hard to scratch or break. The pads are high quality and still holding up like if they were new. I paid more for a PS4 gold headset and the pads began to peel off after a few months of use. As far as dislikes, the audio cord I wish it was a little longer and with standard inputs on both sides. The jack going to the headset is smaller. The cord as the headset is high quality, not a deal breaker. Compared to other headsets like Sony, Bose or Beats these are a great choice if you looking for high fidelity sound and base and of course price.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:Battery lifeCons mentioned:VolumeBought these on a whim because they had a great sale. They have much better ANC than Sony, comfortable ear muffs, good battery life, great sound reproduction, and they easily integrated with Google Assistant. They don't fold up very easily to store in the pouch that came with them, and it will take some time and getting used to to develop the muscle memory when adjusting volume, power, and ANC, I have to take them off and make sure I am mashing the correct miniature button. But, I would definitely recommend, and I would make the purchase over again over any other over-the-ear headphones I tested that weekend.
