JBL Headphones: 13 Models, 9 With Noise Cancelling

JBL sells 13 wireless over- and on-ear headphones on its US store, and nine of them list noise cancelling. The four that do not are all Tune BT models: the Tune 730BT (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab), 530BT (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab), 520BT (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) and 510BT (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab).

The names follow a pattern on JBL’s own pages. Tour is the line with the Tour One M3 Smart Tx, at $449.95 list; Live and Tune both mix over-ear and on-ear models, and an “NC” suffix marks noise cancelling. All 13 list multi-point connection, so pairing two devices at once does not separate them. Prices are JBL’s US list prices on 4 November 2026; seven of the 13 showed a sale that day.

This page covers wireless headphones that sit on or over the ear. JBL’s true-wireless earbuds are set out in which JBL earbuds are which; the Quantum gaming headsets, the Junior kids’ models and wired pairs are out of scope.

The six over-ear models

JBL US list price, 4 Nov 2026	$449.95	$249.95	$194.95	$149.95	$149.95	$89.95
Noise cancelling, as JBL names it	True Adaptive 2.0	True Adaptive 2.0	Adaptive	Adaptive	Adaptive	None listed
Hours, ANC on / off	40 / 70	50 / 80	40 / 50	50 / 76	44 / 70	76 (no ANC)
Weight (g)	278	260	265	225.2	232	218.2
Bluetooth	5.3	6.0	5.0	6.0	5.3	6.0
Microphones	10	4	2	4	1	2
Codec or LE Audio named on the page	LDAC; Auracast	LE Audio	None named	None named	LE Audio, by later update	None named

Every figure is from the Specs section of each model’s page on jbl.com. The Tour One M3 Smart Tx is the one model of the 13 whose page names a codec, LDAC. It also lists Auracast support and ships with JBL’s Smart Tx audio transmitter in the box. A codec on the spec sheet says what the headphones accept, and LDAC’s top rate is a ceiling rather than what a connection delivers.

The Live 660NC appears on JBL’s US listing only as a Personalized model, at $194.95.

The on-ear Live 680NC (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) carries the same battery figures as the over-ear Live 780NC (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab), 50 hours with noise cancelling on and 80 off, and both list True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, Bluetooth 6.0 and LE Audio. Those two have the longest battery rating of the 13.

What the names tell you

NC or BT. In both the Live and Tune lines, a model ending in NC lists noise cancelling and a Tune model ending in BT does not. JBL names two grades: True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0 on the Tour One M3 Smart Tx (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab), Live 780NC and Live 680NC; Adaptive on the other six NC models. JBL publishes no figure comparing how much each grade cancels, and fit changes the result, as our noise-cancelling explainer sets out.

Bluetooth versions and battery ratings differ within each line. The Tune 780NC (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) and 680NC (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) list Bluetooth 6.0 and 76 hours with ANC off; the Tune 770NC (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) and 670NC (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) list Bluetooth 5.3 and 70 hours, with LE Audio marked “Available via OTA update at a later stage”. The Live 660NC (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) and 460NC (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) list Bluetooth 5.0 and 50 hours.

Battery figures depend on the mode. JBL’s lower figure is with noise cancelling on. With it on, the Live 780NC, Live 680NC, Tune 780NC and Tune 680NC are rated 50 hours; the Tour One M3 Smart Tx 40.

Multi-point does not separate them. Every one of the 13 lists Multi-Point Connection. On some headphones, using two devices at once has a cost; Sony’s own guide says its two-device mode switches LDAC off. The Tour One M3 Smart Tx page does not say whether the same applies.

Who each one suits, by the specs

• Noise cancelling and the longest battery rating: the Live 780NC (over-ear) or Live 680NC (on-ear), at 80 hours with ANC off.
• LDAC or an Auracast transmitter in the box: the Tour One M3 Smart Tx, the one page of the 13 that names either.
• The lightest noise-cancelling pair JBL lists a weight for: the on-ear Tune 670NC, at 174 g.
• No noise cancelling, long battery, low price: the Tune 530BT on-ear or Tune 730BT over-ear, both rated 76 hours.

JBL’s US listing also showed seven wireless over- and on-ear models marked Sold Out on 4 November: the Tour One M2, Club One, Live 770NC, Live 670NC, Tune 760NC, Tune 720BT and Tune 660NC. They are not in the tables.
