The Live 660NC and 460NC obviously need wired charging, but can last up to 50 hours (40 on the 660NC if you use “adaptive” noise cancellation) and can get four hours of playback on a 10-minute charge.
There are options if you don’t particularly care about the features of Smart Ambient. The Tune 660NC headphones offer standard active noise cancellation and 44 hours of ANC-enabled playback, while the simple Tune 510BT remains without ANC for 40 hours. If you prefer headphones behind your neck, the Tune 215BT and Tune 125BT last up to 16 hours – although you don’t want to use them for exercise when they are not classified as IPX.
A new series of Tour devices is aimed at “business professionals” who may be more concerned with video calls than getting lost in music. The Tour One over the ear offers adaptive noise cancellation, ambient sound perception and four microphones to aid in the quality of your call, although with only 25 hours of battery life with ANC enabled. The real Tour Pro + wireless buttons offer only 30 hours of total playback (six on their own noise-canceling buttons) and three microphones, but are also resistant to IPX4 sweat.
JBL says the Live series buttons and headphones will be available on March 14 starting at $ 130 for Live 460NC, $ 150 for Live Free NC +, $ 180 for Live Pro + and $ 200 for Live Live 660NC. The Tune series arrives at the same time for prices ranging from $ 40 for the entry 125BT to $ 100 for the 660NC.
You will have to be patient for the rest. The Tour series appears on May 30 with prices of $ 200 for Tour Pro + $ 300 for Tour One, while Reflect Mini NC TWS is shipped in the spring for $ 150.
