The JBL Tune 760NC are over-ear, closed-enclosure headphones with both wireless and wired capabilities suitable for midrange budgets. They provide very good overall sound quality, good noise isolation, and come with active noise cancelling—a great feature for air travel or noisy environments. The build quality and built-in controls are rated very good, which means they should be durable and user-friendly. However, they're not the best choice for gaming, TV and video watching, or calls and meetings due to fair to poor scores in these areas. They're foldable, adding to their portability, offer a good comfort level, and have a long battery life of approximately 40 hours. These headphones come with a detachable cable, and weigh 220 grams without the need for additional carry size for earbuds. Keep in mind, though, they don't have features like a lossless codec, low latency, sweatproof certification, nor are they optimized for Android or Apple devices specifically. No app equalizer or app controls customization is available, meaning what you hear out of the box is what you get. Give Feedback

Air Travel:4.7
This score evaluates the product for use on airplanes and other similar kinds of travel. It takes into account noise reduction and portability, including case shape, case size, and weight. It also incorporates the battery life of the product, long-haul comfort, noise reduction (both active and passive), and sound quality. We generally consider wireless products to be more suitable for air travel.
Music:3.3
The JBL Tune 760NC offers a "Very Good" overall sound quality with a "Good" rating for soundstage/imaging, which is important for a sense of space in the music. However, they lack virtual surround features and support for lossless codecs, meaning they may not provide the most detailed or expansive listening experience available on the market.

It mainly takes into account comfort, whether or not the products are sweatproof and how secure are the earbuds or headphones while wearing them. We also consider products with wireless capabilities to be more suitable for this particular scenario

Staff | May 2023
"The JBL 760NC offers quite a solid and moderately-above-average sonic performance for wireless headphones in this price tier. As usual, JBL outperforms more conventional big names like Apple or Beats. Listeners are given a clean, detailed, and mostly neutral sound that, typical to Harman, holds a universal appeal that seems unlikely to offend."
