"In terms of comfort, these are perfect for me. I have small ears, and the soft cushions fit really well."

Comfort is subjective; many find them comfortable, especially with smaller ears, but others report issues with clamping force and tightness for larger ears or after extended use.

"For the way I use them, the battery life is incredible. I've only had to charge them a handful of times in all the time I've had them."

"These headphones feel very lightweight, plastic is quite thin and makes a cheap impression."

Multiple users describe the build as feeling 'cheap,' with 'thin' plastic that makes a 'plastic-y feeling' impression, contrasting unfavorably with other brands.

"The mic quality is actually pretty good. It does pick up some background sounds on calls, but it enhances your voice enough that the listener can still hear you clearly."

Mic quality is considered 'pretty good' by some, with clear voice enhancement despite picking up background noise, though ANC performance during calls is noted as 'so-so'.

"ANC is good... ANC works when connected by 3,5mm cable and turned on."

The sound quality is generally praised, especially after EQ adjustments, with a strong bass presence and clear highs, though mids can be recessed.

"Seriously, it’s just too much [clamping force]. The 2nd biggest issue is having the smallest earcups in the category, so my average-sized ears barely fit inside."

Comfort is a significant drawback, with reviewers citing a too-strong clamping force, small earcups, and cheap padding, making them uncomfortable for long sessions or larger heads.

"The JBL Tune 770NC headphones boast an impressive battery life, offering up to 65 hours of continuous music playback with ANC turned off... Even with ANC activated, users can enjoy up to 50 hours of playback."

Battery life is a standout feature, consistently praised as exceptional, with users reporting very long playback times even with ANC enabled.

The build quality is consistently described as cheap, plasticky, and toy-like, raising concerns about long-term durability.

"The voice mic array works fine, and I could understand every word from a test recording on my iPhone."

"It's great to see the more updated Bluetooth 5.3, which I’ve had much more reliable connectivity with than the older Bluetooth 5.1 on other headphones."

The headphones offer modern features like Bluetooth 5.3, multipoint pairing, and a comprehensive app with EQ, though the lack of wear detection is noted as a minor omission.

"Amazing product. Excellent clear sound and punchy Bass"

Users frequently praise the sound quality, describing it as clear, punchy, and fun, especially after EQ adjustments via the JBL app, with some comparing it favorably to more expensive options.

"Not at all comfortable for ear..don't buy it"

"I last charged it one month ago; now I have 40 percent more battery, and the bass is low, but the sound quality is good."

The battery life is consistently lauded as 'insane' and 'incredible,' with one user reporting 40% battery remaining after a month of daily use.

"I'm impressed with the build quality, sound, affordability, and overall features."

Build quality is generally seen as good for the price, with users impressed by the materials and overall construction, though some note it's primarily plastic.

"Damn thing doesn't have a mute button 🙄; and the mic doesn't have noise cancellation. Lot of background noise, even when in office, unless you have a silent cabin of your own"

Call quality receives criticism, specifically mentioning that the mic lacks noise cancellation and picks up significant background noise, making it difficult to use outdoors or in noisy environments.

"The JBL Headphone app on Android 15 is jerky however, not smooth. It's not a deal breaker but quite annoying and will JBL please upgrade their clunky and overly loud function voice and sound effects from out of the 90s"

Users appreciate the app for EQ adjustments and the general functionality, but some find the voice prompts overly loud and clunky, and the lack of a carrying case is a common complaint.
