JBL Tune 760NC – Lightweight, Foldable Over-Ear Wireless Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation – Blue

Let me make this emphatically clear!!!; I needed Bluetooth 🎧 because the three-month-old Samsung Q60A panel had the venerable, vital & still eminently practical headphone jack port purged from its componentry endowment, which meant much to my chagrin that a still functional-year-old JBL E35 headphones are obsolete destined to be a hoarder’s dust🐇hutch and 🕷🕸condo!
Admittedly, it came down to this model & my original selection for acquisition, the Tune 710. Still, when someone else beat me to the last Tune 710, I read an Australian review that noted that except for the Noise Cancel addition, the Tune 710 & the Tune 760 are fraternal doppelgangers! So, naturally, when the 760 showed up here combined with a Gen. Grant-sized discount, I seized it up like either an 🦅or a 🐻 snapping a salmon from a river!
I had the impression that, via the specifications, these tins would sound similar to the E35s, but when the 760s became operational, 😱! They sound like the Endurance Peak buds I have, loudly & proudly dishing out a bounty of bodacious bass, mounds of musical midrange, and triumphant transcendent treble; in addition, I could perfectly discern instrument separation while the cans were paired with my Samsung Galaxy A52 5g. However, the headphone couldn’t connect to the Q60A. It didn’t help that I read further about both JBL and Samsung having issues with Low latency APTX causing me to contemplate blowing bucks on small-time Chinese cabecilla nadie cans until August 6th, which was two days ago, when a local Geek Squad Guru succeeded in connecting both gadgets by making me unpair the headphone then delete it from the smartphone, then shut both down for a minute then cut on the TV to delete the phantom gadget then restart the 760 to coax the tv into recognizing the phones. Once the 760 shows up on the BT speaker option, select that & they are united! & they sound soooo good! With the 760 still doing superbly sonorous thru the panel speakers with the remnant issues being having to pump up the volume of the TV from 15 to 85 & the NC seems vestigial, but then, for now, I don’t need the NC. I also hope to master the button combo procedure to make calls and link the 760 back to the A52 and Q60A
In conclusion, it was the quality of the headphone that encouraged me to persevere until prevailing rather than giving in the return reflex!
Update: 16 August 2022-Noise Cancelation enables me to lower the volume level from 85 to as low as 60. I hope I find other benefits of this feature & I’m not misusing the technology.

Fits over my ears really well. So far I can tell the noise cancelling is active but doesn’t eliminate everything. If someone is trying to talk to me it’ll make it difficult to understand but I can still hear them. Battery life is excellent and quickly recharges. I’m going to use these while doing yard work and see how they hold up to that movement and noise. The mic does a good job for a phone conversation.
