Our take on the JBL Live 660NC Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling headphones
The JBL Live 660NC is a wireless over-ear headphone with active noise cancelling, JBL's signature sound and hands-free voice assistant support. Its headline figure is up to 50 hours of playback with ANC off, which beats most ANC headphones in its class. It suits commuters and office workers who want long battery life and a warm, bass-forward sound more than the last word in noise cancelling. Reviewers rate the comfort and endurance highly but find the ANC a step behind class leaders and the headband a little plasticky.

Questions and answers
- How long does the battery last?
- JBL rates it at up to 50 hours with noise cancelling off. Turning ANC on shortens that, but it still lasts several days of typical use.
- How good is the noise cancelling?
- It cuts steady low-frequency noise like engine rumble, but reviewers say it is weaker than the best ANC headphones and lets more voices and higher sounds through.
- Can I use it wired?
- Yes. A detachable cable lets you listen wired when the battery runs out or on flights that require it.
- Does it work with voice assistants?
- Yes. It supports hands-free activation of the voice assistant on your phone.
- Is it good for calls?
- It has built-in microphones for calls and voice commands. Call quality is fine indoors, but noisy streets are harder.
- Does it fold for travel?
- Yes. The earcups fold flat, and it comes with a carry case.
