JBL Live 460NC Headphones Review with Excellent Sound

The JBL Live 460NC headphones feature wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a battery life of up to 50 hours, making them an ideal choice for extended entertainment. They also feature active noise cancellation and a comfortable on-ear design, ensuring a satisfying listening experience.

Product Versions

The JBL Live 460NC headphones are available in two color variants: Black and Pink. This variety allows users to choose the option that best suits their aesthetic and personal preferences.

Design

The JBL Live 460NC headphones stick to established rules, and its model series doesn’t feature significant design changes during the generational change.

The same goes for the Live 460NC. The JBL Live 460NC headphones are primarily made of plastic; the headband is covered with a relatively rough and durable fabric, and the ear cushions are also made of fabric, not leatherette. All controls and other contact surfaces are made of plastic. Therefore, the headphones don’t creak anywhere and give a solid impression. In terms of design, there isn’t much to complain about, perhaps just a slightly cheap operation of some buttons, but that’s nothing you can’t get used to after some use.

Ergonomics and controls.

The JBL Live 460NC headphones offer a very wide range of size adjustment via the extension mechanism on the headband, which is also quite stepped and holds the selected stops well. As such, the headphones offer a solid range of rotation, allowing them to adapt to any ear or head.

Thanks to their JBL Live 460NC headphones are comfortable to wear, and whether the on-ear design suits you or isn’t uncomfortable, you’ll be satisfied in terms of ergonomics. The pressure of the headphones on your head is adequate; they are neither tight nor too loose. They aren’t ideal for any sports or more dynamic activities, but given their orientation, there’s no point in criticizing them.The basic controls for the headphones are available on the right earcup, where we find the classic on/off and reset buttons, as well as buttons for managing music and calls, and buttons to turn the headphones on or off, including ANC, TalkThru, and Ambient Aware.

The JBL Live 460NC headphones companion app offers even more options, allowing you to quickly and easily switch between individual playback modes. There’s also an equalizer that allows each user to customize the sound to their own preferences. In addition to the above, the app offers other common functions, such as instructions, headphone management, including firmware updates, and more.

Another interesting feature is the ability to configure the Bluetooth connection mode, where you can specify, for example, settings for video playback when the headphones are connected, minimizing the delay in sound playback. Other modes are “normal” or specifically focused on music playback. Another ergonomic benefit is the auto-stop feature, which pauses the music when you remove the headphones from your ears and vice versa.
