The JBL Live 650BTNC nomadic headset goes under 80 € at Boulanger.com, a drop of around 17% on the price usually observed. This is currently one of our best value for money on a budget.
The 2019/2020 range of JBL nomadic headphones is available in several aesthetically very similar over-ear models. The Live 650BT is a model with active noise reduction and an autonomy announced at 20 hours or 30 hours by deactivating the RBA.
JBL Live 650BTNC
Introductory price 180 €
The Live 650BT are portable wireless headphones that stand out not only for their convincing active noise reduction, but also for their beautifully spatialized sound reproduction, rich in detail and providing a very pleasant listening experience despite its lack of neutrality and bass a little imprecise. Be careful, however, to its comfort, which is very dependent on body types: any purchase intention should be validated by a fitting.
Strong points
- Rich detail in the stereo image.
- Complete orders.
- Good autonomy.
- Multipoint connection.
Weak points
- The bass lacks precision.
- Comfort depending on the user’s morphology.
- Not very intuitive positioning of the controls.
As an alternative
Plantronics BackBeat Go 810
The Backbeat Go 810 is a good choice if you are looking for a wireless listening companion with active noise reduction below the 150 € mark… especially if you plan to use it primarily that way. Indeed, the sound rendering is only really interesting in this use. Apart from that, it remains a complete and pleasant model to use. If you are unsure, take a look at the HD 4.50 BTNC, just as interesting, or simply the Backbeat Pro 2 since it is now close in terms of price.
