Crank it up, bassheads
Tom's Guide Verdict
JBL Live 770NC headphones review | Tom's Guide
The JBL Live 770NC headphones have one key user in mind: Bass fanatics. Whether they’d be best suited as our best headphones for detail or bass has a very clear-cut answer. I am usually a detail-oriented audio girl, but the Live 770NCs gave my premium-sounding Shure Aonic 50 Gen 2s a run for their money.
JBL makes some of my favorite speakers, including the earth-shaking bass-booming Xtreme 4, so I wasn’t surprised when the Live 770NCs rampaged through my ears with bass to rival much bigger speakers. If you’re a bass addict, you’re going to want to listen to what the Live 770NCs have to say.
Although the ferocious bass means a lot of clarity and detail is lost on some tracks, for those bass lovers, it’s an easy sacrifice. The $199 price point makes these cans noticeably cheaper than pedigreed rivals like Bose QuietComfort Ultra, AirPods Max, and Sonos Ace, and bass lovers could be snagging a fantastic deal with the JBLs.
Are they the right headphones for you, though? Well, are you the kind of person who always cranks up bass on custom EQs? If you are, you’ll want to keep reading my JBL Live 770NC review.
