Full details
The JBL Live 680NC headphones are designed for music lovers and commuters who demand high-fidelity sound and effective noise reduction in a lightweight, on-ear package. Featuring JBL Signature Sound and True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, these headphones provide an immersive audio experience with the flexibility of both wireless and wired connectivity.
