    Spend a little more to get true quality...

    Let me start by saying I used to love these headphones. The sound quality is great, noise cancelling works well, and they seemed overall well built. But now, these are a little over a year old (and out of warranty). Like clockwork, the bluetooth connection no longer works. Sometimes disconnects within seconds, sometimes after a few minutes. This is very frustrating. When I contact support team, they can't even help me to check the firmware history to ensure this isn't a bug in the new update. They told me I can pay for repairs, but that it will likely cost more than a new device. By the way, my pair is in like new condition, I am always so careful and gentle with them. If JBL can't build a pair of headphones that last longer than 1 year, then I won't buy from them anymore, and I recommend you look for others as well. I previously used a pair of Bose headphones that I've had for 10 years and are still kicking. So, pay a bit more for the premium Bose brand, otherwise you will be disappointed in a year by purchasing these.

    Active noise cancelling has no effect

    Can't tell the difference when I turn canceling on/off: can still hear yappy dog next door. Heavy padded ear cuffs do block a lot of noise. Sound quality via Bluetooth is just OK. Look elsewhere if you have sight impairment: the directions are ridiculously small. Controls are a bit rough and non-responsive. Wish I had gone with a better brand.

    Bluetooth sound not good

    at first I thought these were great then I listened via Bluetooth after listening plugged in and wow, the difference is very significant. The sound via Bluetooth is lacking fullness and bass pretty bad. The sound plugged in is so much fuller and rich bass. I'm returning these, sadly. I really wanted to like them and if the Bluetooth sound wasn't so thin/tinny and lacking fullness/richness/bass, I would love these! bummer

    Do not recommend.

    Terrible headphones. Worked okay for a few months. Sounds is decent, but not worth the price. Additionally, a few months in I started having issue. JBL only offers a one year warranty and unfortunately I was not as quick as I should have been reporting it. They offered a small discount on a new set. Currently the Noise Cancelling turns on and off and it chimes to let you know ANC is on or off, so it is contently dinging while listening to music.

    JBL QUALITY not what it use to be

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Work well for the price.. ok sound and noise reduction but after 6+ months it stopped taking a charge. Replaced charger but still no power. Now its a $100+ paper weight. After my experience and those i read here JBL quality rep is no longer bankable.
