JBL x Under Armour - Live 660NC

I have a pair of JBL Live 660NC headphones for personal use, not in the office. I've been happy with them. I mainly use for airplanes to drown out all the white noise. I think there's a mic but no boom, so probably not ideal if you're looking for something for meetings/calls too.

I use JBL Live 660NC. They are quite nice, they have a true noise cancelling to block external noise, but they also have a passthrough so you can hear ambient sounds in your office or around if needed. Had them for a few years now without issue

Love my JBL 660’s

You don't need NC headphones. Actually they work quite poorly as NC is designed for ambiance noise and continuous hums from HVACs, trains, cars, etc. Also consumer headphone drivers will start distorting after a certain level and sound quite harsh. I've tried using my Sony's WH-1000's and JBL Live 660NC, it just doesn't work. DJ headphones use "passive noise canceling" or real isolation to stop the sound. That's why some models can press quite hard on your head/ears and are closed back type. They're not meant for hours of comfort, but to cut loud music. Also, good ones typically have low-impedance >40mm drivers or bigger, with some exceptions for a few compact models that may use a bit smaller ones. Some DJ's also press them even further with the hand or shoulder, to isolate more and hear better. It's usually also possible to lower the booth monitor levels to hear better. The louder club PA's are usually in front and pointing away from the DJ booth, so level in the booth is not the same as on the dance floor. So make sure you're using good DJ headphones and holding them properly to your ear. Aim monitors at you, speakers at the "crowd" (even if it's just your cats :p). Have fun :)

Hi! Personal experience:Ear cups on gaming headphones are more comfortable. I have a jbl live 660nc, a sony wh-ch720n and a razer black shark v2x.for long gaming sessions I really like the black shark feeling more than the other 2. For short gaming sessions and daily work:The ch720n is light weight and I can't stress this enough it's fucking amazing instead of a bunch of useless features like auto pause,touch controls,etc that makes the headphones heavy, it's light and more comfortable. (If you Are into those features you can buy Sony mx4 or jbl live 660 or 770)

I use JBL Live. They fold up tho not obvi super small.
