JBL Launches New High-Resolution AI Headphones Live 780NC, 680NC
A few weeks ago, JBL unveiled two latest Bluetooth headphones in the Live lineup: the over-ear JBL Live 780NC and on-ear JBL Live 680NC models. Following their predecessors, the 770NC and 670NC, these new models feature a completely redesigned design, AI-based algorithms, and the new Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity feature that was not available before.
The over-ear JBL Live 780NC and on-ear JBL Live 680NC are the latest models in the JBL Live product family. These headphones feature the new Adaptive Noise Canceling 2.0 technology with real-time correction functionality that automatically reduces ambient noise through enhanced processing technology. The soft material of the ear pads, light silicone headband, and sturdy metal hinges ensure comfortable listening for extended periods and offer a fully foldable design.
Bluetooth 6.0, Auracast, and High-Resolution Audio
Equipped with 40mm dynamic drivers featuring composite diaphragms, these headphones deliver an impressive frequency response ranging from 10Hz to 40kHz and support the LDAC codec on compatible devices, earning Hi-Res Audio certification for both wired and wireless. Additionally, they offer JBL Spatial Sound 3.0, immersive 3D spatial audio from all stereo content.
The most significant technical change is the upgrade of connectivity to Bluetooth 6.0 with Audio LE support, and notably, Auracast functionality that allows direct audio sharing from the JBL headphones app has been integrated. Additionally, both models enable seamless control through the optional JBL Smart Tx transmitter.
Customizable Noise Canceling and Calling
The two models differ in their integrated active noise canceling technology. The Live 780NC uses advanced technology with 6 microphones to capture ambient noise, while the Live 680NC model uses 4 microphones. For voice calls, both devices combine 2 beamforming microphones with AI-trained algorithms to filter out wind and traffic noise.
Battery life has set a new record. The Live 780NC can play for 80 hours with active noise cancellation turned off and 50 hours with active noise cancellation turned on. It also supports fast charging, which allows you to listen for 4 hours after just 5 minutes of charging. It takes 2 hours to fully charge the 870mAh battery.
Words from Carsten Olsen, President of Harman Consumer Audio
Carsten Olsen, president of Harman's consumer audio division, said: "Our JBL Live headphones strike a perfect balance between exceptional sound and unique design. While the design changes are immediately noticeable, we have also worked hard to improve audio performance through new high-resolution audio certified drivers and AI-tuned noise cancellation algorithm enhancements to deliver a more accurate and higher level of experience in this price range."
Available in seven colors: black, blue, white, champagne, green, purple, and orange.
