Table of Contents
Introduction
For this review, I put the JBL Tune 760NC Blue (TUNE760NCBL) headphones through their paces, subjecting them to a rigorous testing regime across various scenarios – from noisy commutes to quiet home listening sessions. My goal was to determine whether these over-ear headphones live up to JBL’s renowned reputation for quality sound and comfortable listening experiences. Having spent several weeks with them, I’m ready to share my detailed insights.
Features
The JBL Tune 760NC boasts a compelling array of features. Beyond the obvious – active noise cancellation and Bluetooth connectivity – these headphones offer multi-point pairing (connecting to two devices simultaneously), a hands-free calling feature with decent microphone quality, and a surprisingly long battery life. The foldable design makes them incredibly portable, perfect for slipping into a bag and taking on the go. The intuitive controls located on the earcups are easy to use even without looking.

Performance
The sound quality is what truly sets these headphones apart. JBL’s signature powerful bass is present and accounted for, without overwhelming the mids and highs. The active noise cancellation is effective at reducing low-frequency ambient sounds like airplane engines or bus engines, allowing for immersive listening, although higher-frequency noises like speech are less effectively cancelled. The battery easily lasts the advertised 35 hours of playback, even with ANC activated. I found the comfort levels excellent during extended listening sessions – even after several hours of use, I experienced no significant discomfort. The call quality is clear and crisp on both ends of the conversation. However, I noticed a slight hissing sound when the ANC was enabled, particularly in quieter environments.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent sound quality with powerful bass, effective noise cancellation (for low-frequency sounds), long battery life, comfortable for extended use, foldable and portable design, multi-point pairing, intuitive controls.
- Cons: Slight hissing sound with ANC enabled in quiet environments, less effective at cancelling higher-frequency noises.
Final Verdict
Overall, the JBL Tune 760NC Blue (TUNE760NCBL) provides a superb listening experience. The combination of powerful sound, effective noise cancellation (for most situations), and exceptional comfort makes them a strong contender in their price range. While the slight hissing with ANC is a minor drawback, it doesn’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I would happily recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and great-sounding pair of wireless over-ear headphones.
