“If I hadn’t seen the box they came in, I wouldn’t have believed that they were refurbished! They looked like they were brand new! Also the battery lasts forever, connectivity is great, sound is great, the noise cancelling is every bit as good as Bose. Very happy with this purchase!”

Review 2: ★★★★☆

“These headphone are AMAZING! Just be careful with the swivel part of the headphone and you should be all set. I was blown away by the bass and crisp sound quality. I would recommend these as a good starter pair.”

Review 3: ★★★★★

Reviewed in the United States:

“The headphone cups fit perfectly and comfortably on the head. They also deliver clean strong bass and the battery life is great. Need to charge it every 4th day with 2–3 hours daily use. I would definitely buy it again.”

Review 4: ★★☆☆☆

Reviewed in Mexico:

“The audio in the headphones is good, it has an application with which you can modify the audio equalization according to what you are listening to, which I think is a good option. Everything arrived well and with its corresponding cables, cover and instructions! The only bad thing I could find is that they are somewhat heavy and somewhat uncomfortable for long periods for the ear, but from there on the outside the connection is very good and the noise cancellation is good in certain respects.”

Review 5: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“First, I love JBL speakers, so I thought I would the same effect from this headset but I didn’t and I had to download an app to get that deep base I wanted. For $100 product I expected more from the sound ability. I guess I’ll stick with the external speakers for now.”

Review 6: ★★★☆☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“Headphones are fine and work great. But be careful about ordering the blue model. They will charge you extra for the blue model but ship you the black ones. I returned these black ones twice forgotten blue ones, but they keep sending black.”

Review 7: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in Canada:

“Either I have big ears or the ear cups are small but there is a slight discomfort in this area. They are a bit heavy and the headband on the top could be a bit more padded.

On the other hand, the sound is good. The connection with different devices is done very well. Connect with my Samsung TV.”

Review 8: ★★★☆☆

Reviewed in Mexico:

“Bad hearing do not know if to be renewed but its sound is not so good and apart I was touched by some that connected by cable were heard worse and do not serve the buttons to raise, volume down and pause.

Its noise cancellation is good, by Bluetooth they worked well I think so sell them until someone wants to keep them only to use them by Bluetooth so they do not serve me, they are much better the JBL live 400 only that these are uncomfortable but much better.”

“No dislikes, it works great. Now my wife and I both have JBL headsets. Sitting in the living room watching different programs. We each have a small flashlight we can blink at the other person to get their attention when we have something to say !”

Review 10: ★☆☆☆☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“I was so excited when I got these in the mail today. Rushed home to try them out and BAM!!! left ear makes the loudest buzzing sound. I called for troubleshooting and I am getting a new set sent to me. My feedback for Amazon is to do what you actually say you do and fully inspect the product for quality. There’s no way these headphones were tested for quality by professionals before sending out. The headphones I received are definitely broken. I was hesitant to do so, but I am going to wait for my replacement and see how these behave. Wish me luck!!!”

To sum up, we can conclude from reviews from users: although most of the users are satisfied with the excellent noise-canceling ability and sound quality of these headphones, some of them complained that the weight of these headphones is too heavy and so uncomfortable to wear, as well as the quality is not durable and the after-sales service is also very impatient.

Therefore, if you are going to buy these JBL Live 650 BT NC wireless headphones, you can spend about the same amount of money to invest in a pair of better performing headphones, and we recommend the Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones even more.

Reasons for recommendation:

The team of Wissonly has always attached great importance to the opinions of customers. It is said that their Hi runner model invited thousands of users to participate in the test, and that they constantly adjusted the design based on customer feedback.

It is also said that because of the test, the product launch time was delayed by 3 months compared to the original plan time. I was so moved by this story that I bought their products.

Wissonly Hi Runner attaches great importance to sound quality. Their sound source adopts a large-sized vibrator, and through the clever structural design, the vibration area is increased by 35%. So the sound range is wider and more powerful.

They have also made a lot of efforts in the treatment of sound leakage. The body of headphones is sealed and integrated to minimize sound leakage.

Plus, Hi Runner are also equipped with a new Bluetooth 5.0 chip. They have stronger anti-interference ability and have stable connection and low latency performance, which can easily cope with various complex outdoor scenes without disconnection.

They also support IPX8 waterproof grade higher than the industry standard, and they are also equipped with 32G body memory. In listening to songs, chasing dramas, or playing games, they can meet all daily needs for headphones.

The Wissonly Hi runner weigh less than 30g, have no sense of burden bearing on your ears when worn during working in the office or doing workouts in the gym. They are so comfortable and suitable for long-term use during sports.
