JBL's New Headphones Boast 80-Hour Battery Life
12 Mar
Summary
- New JBL headphones offer an impressive 80 hours of battery life.
- ANC reduces battery life to 50 hours, still offering remarkable stamina.
- Two models, Live 780NC and Live 680NC, are available now for purchase.
JBL has introduced two new headphone models: the over-ear Live 780NC and the on-ear Live 680NC. These models share many specifications, with a standout feature being their exceptional battery life, reaching up to 80 hours on a single charge during regular use.
Even with active noise cancellation (ANC) engaged, the headphones provide a substantial 50 hours of playback. Both models fully charge in just two hours and support multi-point connections. They feature two dedicated microphones with AI-assisted clarity for calls and can stream high-resolution audio via Bluetooth or a wired connection.
The primary distinction lies in their ANC capabilities. The Live 780NC is equipped with six microphones for ANC, likely offering superior noise cancellation, complemented by the passive isolation of its over-ear design. The Live 680NC uses four microphones for its ANC. This difference contributes to their pricing, with the 780NC costing $250 and the 680NC priced at $160. Both are available for purchase immediately, with shipments commencing by March 15, 2026.
