Have you ever felt like the world is out to get you? For example, you’re already having a crappy day, your colleague is sitting next to you loudly eating chips and you want to pull your hair out in frustration? That was exactly what made me snap. I can’t stand that kind of noise, and a friend told me to noise canceling headphones.
I thought it was a gimmick. I mean, earbuds are much cheaper and do the same thing, right? After trying these JBLs with adaptive noise cancellation, I can say they are definitely much, much better. And they saved my hair (LOL). I saved a lot with one pair in open box for $89.99 with free shipping (reg. $129.95). These are customer returns that are sold at a significant discount, even though they have never been worn.
World peace? No, just me in my JBLs
It felt like my last hope of getting these JBLs to work, guys. I put them in adaptive noise cancellation mode and immediately felt relief from the usual office chatter and overly loud chewing from my desk neighbor (sorry, Lauren). I could hear some breakthrough noise when people were talking extra loudly (big eye roll), so I played instrumental music to cover them up.
The nice thing about these JBLs is that I don’t have to take them off if I decide I want to catch up on the office chatter. There is one Ambient Aware mode to hear more of what’s going on, and TalkThru amplifies outside noise so I can easily have conversations when I want to participate in office gossip (just don’t tell my boss).
Other features I love
That’s enough about the noise cancellation. Here’s what I love even more:
- Pair two Bluetooth devices at the same time
- Up to 70 hours of battery life
- A 5-minute charge gives you three hours of extra music
- The over-ear design doesn’t hurt my ears when I wear them all day
Got something you need to tune in? I get it. Grab a pair of these JBL over-ear headphones with noise cancellation for $89.99 (reg. $129.95) for as long as these open-box models last.
