These headphones are wireless, but JBL also equips them with a 3.5mm port for wired connection when the battery runs out, or in case you want to enjoy high-quality audio. At the bottom of the ear cup is a USB-C charging port.
Sound and Battery
From various angles, the JBL Tune 760NC offers an audio experience that can be considered good. Clear vocals, deep bass, and overall very pleasant. However, there's an issue it faces; if the volume is turned up too high, the bass becomes uncontrolled, distorting the sound and making it very messy. On the other hand, its deep bass also doesn't go as low as expected, many low-frequency tracks that Tune 760NC doesn't handle well, resulting in a flat bass.
Regarding battery life, the wireless JBL Tune 760NC headphones can last up to 35 hours with ANC on with just one charge, and without ANC, it's 50 hours. Impressive! Its charging time is 2 hours.
Advantages of JBL Tune 760NC
After evaluating the design quality and sound of the Tune 760NC, now let's list its advantages.
Firstly, it boasts quick pairing ability with Android devices thanks to Google Fast Pair integration. After an initial setup, subsequent connections are lightning-fast, ready for immediate use.
Its ANC mode is impressive, purportedly capable of filtering out up to 97% of ambient noise while listening to music. Although this figure isn't precisely measured, the noise-canceling effectiveness of Tune 760NC remains remarkable, with low-frequency sounds nearly disappearing to allow some high-frequency sounds through.
Downsides of Tune 760NC
The sound quality is the most concerning aspect of JBL Tune 760NC. Perhaps due to its use of overly small drivers, pushing the volume high seems a bit taxing for it. While it comes with a companion app, its impact on the headphones isn't particularly significant, with some customizations like EQ even failing to make a noticeable difference.
Should You Buy JBL Tune 760NC Headphones?
To be honest, this is a challenging question to answer. Setting aside its flaws, the headphones themselves are still quite decent. While its sound may disappoint at higher volumes, at moderate levels, there's still plenty to appreciate. Moreover, its battery life is sufficient for continuous use for 2-3 days before needing a recharge, making it quite advantageous for frequent travelers.
In conclusion, the JBL Tune 760NC lacks any significant strengths to compete with many over-ear headphones in the same price range. However, it does offer some values worth considering, such as ANC, battery life, and the JBL brand. Its price tag is $129 (around 3 million VND).
