On-Ear HeadphonesProduct Gallery
Product Overview
JBL Live 460NC are entry-level on-ear wireless headphones with Active Noise Cancellation, which is supplemented with JBL's Ambient Aware feature. The large 40mm drivers and up to 50 hours of battery life give the Live 460NC a great feature-to-price ratio.
Launched alongside the over-ear Live 660NC, the Live 460NC offer essentially the same set of features, though the Live 460NC are weaker in lower frequencies.
The Live 460NC sport a 750mAh battery that can be replenished with four hours of playtime in 10 minutes. They also support multi-point connection, allowing the Live 460NC to switch seamlessly between two connected devices. Naturally, the JBL Live 460NC can be used both wired via 3.5mm headphone jack or wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0.
A model that the Live 460NC ostensibly replace is the Live 400BT, though the Live 460NC are vastly superior, offering not only double the battery life but also ANC. Still, at the moment of the launch of Live 460NC, the latter is on sale.

Reviewer score 35% (normalized by Neofiliac)The JBL Live 460NC are decent for mixed use, thanks to their ANC, wireless design, and customizable sound profile. They're well-built, have a long-lasting continuous battery life of under 30 hours, and have a breathable fit. Their ANC fares a bit worse when it comes to blocking out rumbly bus and plane engines, though, and they're a bit bulky.
Pros
- Comfortable, well-built design
- Long-lasting continuous battery life
- Supports multi-device pairing
Cons
- No IP rating for dust or water resistance
- Poor passive soundstage
