Our take on the JBL Live 780NC Wireless Noise Cancelling Over Ear Headphones

The JBL Live 780NC is an over-ear wireless headphone with adaptive active noise cancelling, Bluetooth 5.0 and a 3.5 mm cable option for wired listening. Its headline figure is up to 80 hours of playback, far beyond the 30 to 40 hours typical of rivals like the Sony WH-CH720N and Bose QuietComfort. It folds flat for travel and carries JBL's app-based EQ and spatial audio. It suits long-haul travellers, commuters and students who want big battery and solid ANC without paying flagship money; audiophiles will find the tuning bass-forward and the ANC a step behind premium models.

Questions and answers

How long does the battery last with noise cancelling on?
JBL rates it at up to 80 hours of playback, and noise cancelling is included in that figure. Real-world use with higher volume will be lower, but owners still report days between charges.
Can I use it wired?
Yes. A 3.5 mm cable is included, so you can listen wired with noise cancelling active, which is useful on planes with seat-back entertainment.
Does it support multipoint pairing?
It pairs over Bluetooth 5.0 and can connect to two devices at once, so you can switch between a phone and a laptop.
How does it compare with the Sony WH-CH720N?
The JBL offers much longer battery life and a similar feature set. Sony's model is lighter and its ANC is generally judged more effective on voices, while the JBL wins on endurance.
Is it good for calls?
It has built-in microphones for calls and voice assistants. Call quality is serviceable indoors but picks up background noise in windy or busy outdoor settings.
Does it fold for travel?
Yes, the earcups fold flat and swivel, and it comes with a carry pouch, so it packs more easily than non-folding over-ears.

At Belk, for $249.95, as of our latest check.
Is the JBL Live 780NC Wireless Noise Cancelling Over Ear Headphones at its lowest price?
