JBL Tune 600BTNC Wireless On-Ear Noise-Cancelling Headphones White

Absolutely hate this Headphones, no where near worth 100$, had 50$ that are way better than this it was just a pure disappointment when l placed themSound is just mediocre all around, high ends is just the worse of it all the high hats just sound like continuous noise without any quality.The cable connection is dreadful in sound quality, it seems like lm hearing music through free sample Headphones, bass and high ends absolutely all around muddy and distorted.The sound via Bluetooth connection ends up getting completely distorted after 30min of use and it just feels sounds like your PC is crashing with the CPU at 100% consumption. When reconnected you will only get the sound off 1 program while all the others without sound.

Bad sound quality with ANC. Not very good over BT.

The first impression I've got from this headphones, when unpacking, was “OK, for the price”. I find them quite comfortable for an “on ear” design. The band keeps the phones very tight, but I think that’s how it must be for such a design to be efficient. The ear pads and the band cushion are, in my opinion, very comfortable.The choice of the ear cups shell material, however, didn't convince me... It's a kind of plastic that makes a lot of noise at the slightest touch and, to me, seems very inappropriate to build ear cups (it even makes noise just moving ones head or walking!). I guess it was probably selected to save some money, but I doubt there are no better choices costing more or less the same.The real problem, however, came after turning on the headphones. ... MoreThe first impression I've got from this headphones, when unpacking, was “OK, for the price”.

I guess it was probably selected to save some money, but I doubt there are no better choices costing more or less the same.The real problem, however, came after turning on the headphones. They produce a very audible “hiss”, sounding a bit like white noise, that I find very disturbing. Every track with a bit more of bass produces very unpleasant distortion, even played at low levels. The sound is very “thin”, sounding a bit like some cheap headphones with small drivers. So this headphones fail where it would be more important not to fail: sound quality. I even wondered if I've received a faulty product but I've found lots of users with similar complaints so I guess they are all like this...Then I've turned off ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) and things got better. No more bass distortion, no more “hiss”. They still sound a bit “thin”, a bit like headphones with small drivers, but they are more acceptable. I still think they should sound better, considering the cost, but, without ANC, they're not horrible, they just don't meet my expectations (that where not that high, I wasn't expecting audiophile level at this price point).Of course these headphones have no “fancy” Bluetooth protocols (no aptX or anything like that) but that's OK for the price, and there are a few headphones with just plain SBC that sound quite good. Anyhow my next test was using the headphones with cable instead of BT. The headphones came with a (very short and not coiled) cable with a 3,5 mm TRRS jack on one side (for connection, for example, to a smart-phone) and what seems to be a 2,5 mm TRS (stereo?!!! no Mic?) jack for connection to the headphones. There is no lock for the jack on the headphones side but, contrary to some other users, I've had absolutely no contact problems and, at least for now, the small jack locks perfectly in place. The sound with cable was a very pleasant surprise! They still sound like having smaller drivers, and the shells still create noise at the slightest user movement, but the sound is clear and enjoyable. However turning ANC on creates the same kind of problems as when used with BT, noise and a very strange equalization (why on earth does ANC changes the equalization is something I don't understand) leading to distorted bass. So these headphones are quite pleasing if one doesn't use the internal amplifier at all, but my wife needed some BT headphones, not some wired headphones...I guess JBL tried to compete in the low price category but in doing so cut costs so much that it ended delivering a product even worse than many “no brand” ones of similar or even lower price. It’s the first time I've bought a JBL (or any other Harman) product that I feel to have a really bad cost/performance ratio. Even the lacking “Quick Start Guide” and small cables (the USB charging cable measures 21 cm end to end, even considering the plugs! And, by the way, has a very fancy reversible USB type A plug, something I've never seen before, but with this short length I never use it) feel like a product where “cheap” was taken to extreme measures!I've not tried the microphone so I have no idea if it works well or not.I'm keeping the headphones, my wife really needs some light BT headphones and they don't seem to be faulty, I guess they're just bad... But I don't recommend this headphones at all!

Fantastic value

I've been using these for a fortnight now, they were a Christmas present I chose after auditioning them. I already own some T540BT headphones so I knew that sound and liked it, but these Tune600BTNC's are something else. I've been using them quite a bit since Christmas Day and they've only just beeped the first low battery warning so I've not yet had to recharge them after the initial charge! And that's with noise cancelling active, and 90% of the time with Bluetooth.Yes, you will hear some hiss when you turn them on with no sound source active, but it's not intrusive, and the action of the noise-cancelling is effective while not completely blocking everything. My work colleague is standing beside me having a conversation with someone else, and I could easily ... MoreI've been using these for a fortnight now, they were a Christmas present I chose after auditioning them.

My work colleague is standing beside me having a conversation with someone else, and I could easily ignore what volume of sound the NC was not affecting, so in this open-plan office the headphones achieve exactly what I was hoping for:block out the background noise so I could concentrate. Note too that there is no pitch shift during playback of music on Bluetooth: cheaper older headphones struggle with playback and you can clearly hear music shift pitch at times, but these just don't!The sound quality is the best I've heard. I thought the T450BT's were great: these improve on that. Bass notes are clearly defined, but the mid range and high are also cleaner so I can hear much more in the music. You could pay more and get higher sound quality but these are well worth auditioning if you can. Oh, and I took a phone call a couple of days ago on them and the call quality was excellent. Very comfortable; the padded top bar helps with that. It would be great if they came with a bag or case to preserve them, but I've made one.

Great sound - but poor BT-functionality

So - I've had my pair for some time now. Sound is great but I'v experienced som malfunction in the BT connection.When streaming Netflix (iPad) they suddenly turn off. No battery warning or else. Just simply turns off. In the last couple of days the started to frequently pause the stream.When using them on my PC (both my old HP aswell as my current DELL) and going on Teams - after a couple of minutes the sound suddenly goes in to some digital distortion, completely impossible to hear the sound in the Teams meeting.Bought another pair of headset - competitor brand - and got the idea to see if the old JBL-ones was possible to fw-update - but no... :/Of course I should have turned to my reseller at once, but frankly, I don't trust that to have done any differ...

Just what I was looking for

I needed a new set of headphones to use while mowing grass and doing yard work. I had the ear bud kind but they constantly fall out and it is extremely annoying. I wanted a decent pair from a brand that has a good reputation for delivering quality sound. But I didn't want to pay that high price tag attached. I've had a couple jbl speakers and was always satisfied. I was afraid to get a no name brand that was in my price range. Many times I've made those type or purchases, only to be disappointed and felt like I wasted my money. When I was shopping around online, eventhe jbl headphones were pricier than I wanted to pay. And I didn't care if they were the best of the best that jbl made either. That's when I found the app daily sale through my afterpay app. I found ... MoreI needed a new set of headphones to use while mowing grass and doing yard work.

That's when I found the app daily sale through my afterpay app. I found some jbl headphones at a very reasonable price and they even had 3 different colors to choose from. I got the white ones. To my surprise, I received them very quickly. They were also packaged very well. I have used my headphones a few different times already and absolutely love them. I am so glad I stumbled on dailysale. I will definitely be doing more shopping with them in the future.

Lacked transparency / Not app supported

I do not use my headphones for music alone so this review will go into much more detail about my big five observations which are sound, comfort, efficiency, looks, and if I would buy these again.Sound, even with them turned off they still offer a decent 1/5 noise canceling. When active I would rate it at a good 3/5 in power but be aware! This set does not connect to the JBL app for the awesome customization of what you can or cannot hear so if you are like me looking for good headphones to use as a sensory assist, these do not adjust and will just cut all sound out which sadly was not what I bought them for so overall for what I was expecting it's a 1 out of 5.Comfort is a decent 3/5, I was very surprised how well the over the ear set fit as I have a smaller head shape, but when completely taken in, fit perfectly. I will say the cushions on the ears are very comfortable but will not cup your ears fully, they just kind of sit on top but it's not too uncomfortable. Overall 3/5.Efficiency for myself personally is a 0/5, as I've stated I'm autistic and use headphones to block out most uncomfortable sounds. I assumed all of the JBL series would be included with the apps capabilities, at least with these being $100 but they do not connect to the app and thus only offer complete noise cancelation. I loved my old buds because I could adjust what and how much I could hear. So these are not really useful but I can't return them in store after wearing which was sad as I used my disability money on these. Definitely check if the set you want is supported by their app if you're looking for sensory headphones.Overall 1 out of 5 only because I didn't need or want headphones strictly for music, I need them as an accessibility aid. I wish they made it more clear that these were not supported by their app and have been a bit more transparent about the abilities.I hope this review helped, I wish I had gotten another set.

Microsoft Teams Issue

Dear JBL,My problem is the same with all other users that purchased a JBL 600BTNC but the problem spans troughout JBL range. Conecting with Microsoft Teams and using them in handsfree mode. I do not question the sound quality of your products using them as stereo headphones which are really very good. It apeears to me that harmann/jbl are probably exiting this market and shortening their product range to top of the line for those who like to sit on a couch and only listen to music. The current world we are living in (Pandemia worls) requires that these type of product are versatile, and in case you have not noticed from school kids to top executives everyone is using videoconference systems throghout the world.

Having a pair of good quality headphones that serves us during the day both for listening music and to work is all we need. And make no mistakes this is the new standart. If you do not compreend this than in 5 years we'll be saying "Remember JBL ? They had great headphones but they didn't catch up with a changing world". And answers like we "We never said it worked with skype" .... no comments. One thing is certain when mine break those are the last one I'll buy from JBL if you don't solve this issue in future equipements.Hope you see the light or the tunnel will never end.

THIS PRODUCT CAN PHYSICALLY HARM YOU: DO NOT BUY!!

I got these headphones for chrsitmas, and they were pretty good, until 5 days later, the volume up buttons broke. No way to fix it because of the horrible design of this product, so that means you also CANNOT REBOOT THESE HEADPHONES. I continued to use this product for about another month because I could always adjust the volume using my device. Then, after about another month, these headphones made EXTREMELY LOUD squeaking noises, they were so loud that they caused ringing in my ears for about ten minutes.... I bet if you listened to the squeaking for too long you would most likely be hearing impaired or even go deaf. If you care about your ears, do not buy this product. These headphones could be free and I still wouldn't buy them.... This product has to be a joke, ... MoreI got these headphones for chrsitmas, and they were pretty good, until 5 days later, the volume up buttons broke.

The best headphones for the money!

These are the best headphones I have used for the money! The battery life is amazing, the noise canceling actually works (unlike some headphone at this price point), and the build quality is awesome. I initially bought these for work (stuck at home during covid) and I was immediately impressed. The sound is phenomenal for a $150 pair of BT headphonesthrow in the noise canceling feature and the loooooong battery life and you literally have a home run! Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a versatile headset able to move between a PC, tablet or phone and even a gaming console (use these with the included headphone jack wire for my PS5)! Well played JBL!

Was great but fell behind quickly

It’s lasted for awhile and still takes a charge but it’s not really compatible with apple products. If you wanna be fluid and switch devices JBL makes it so complicated to reset this model 600bt that I rather just break them in half and buy a new pair. It’s been 15 mins of trying to pair to my phone. However it keeps pairing to my iPad. I shouldn’t have to turn off my Bluetooth on my iPad to connect to my phone. Factory resets don’t work either. 20 seconds of holding two buttons? That’s absolutely insane, we might as well have to enter a key and biometric eye scan to reset the headset. I have long switched to airpod pros which are miles ahead of any jbl product. Just connectivity wise let alone everything else. JBL fell behind. Still to there loudspeakers.

As for headsets you’re better off going with something made for your phone. Android to android and apple to apple. The website is so outdated that the manual doesn’t even load. The link is dead. Can’t find any info to reset. Bottom line trash.
