JBL 600 BTNC

The wireless headphones presents themself with ANC technology, are the any good?

Hello guys and welcome to review. The JBL 600 BT and in the next few minutes you'll see and read, what are all about You can call them your best travelling buddy. let's see why.

The package.

I must say, the package is not that fancy as you would expect, in the box, you'll find the USB cable, and this is the first disadvantage, it's not USB C but mini USB, for the headphones charging, the USB cable is very short approx. 15 cm and then in the plastic cover, the headphones themself. Another disadvantage is that the headphones came without any protective bag, so you need to be careful about scratches, which brings me to another disadvantage, the shiny outside parts of the headphones can be scratched pretty easily.

Design.

when it comes to the design, they are sleek all-black headphones. You can also get the blue variant. The padding is soft and they don't push your ears. My longest streak was 5 hours of listening and by the time, I felt comfortable, I was not feeling any sweat or heat inside during the session. So lots of pros in this part. If you want to save battery and turn off the ANC, the passive cancelling is overall solid. All of the parts are made of plastic, but the quality of the material fell solid on touch so they are light and comfortable even after long hours of listening as mentioned before. Overall weight is 173 grams. They also feature modular joints on both sides for storing purposes. On the outside of the headphones, you have the JBL Logo. These are the scratchable parts.

Now, let's move to the specification of this current model.

specification and quality of sound.

The model has a built-in microphone, so answering the call is as easy as a push of a button. The Quality of music listening is impressive, the bass is saturated and you hear everything. Call quality is also very good and your calling partner can here you also clearly from my 3 tests. I did not have any sound drop during my sessions. That is a pro.

Model 600 supports Bluetooth 4.1 for wireless sound transfer.

On the right side, you will find 4 buttons, Turn on/off button, Button for activating the noise-cancelling feature plus and minus buttons.

It supports the hands-free feature. Another good feature.

The battery is 610 mAh and lasts approx for 22 hours without noise-cancelling feature and 12 hours with ANC turned on. If you run out of power while on your travels, You can plug 120 cm long cable to your phone and you are good to go again. and if you prefer wired experience with the ANC, then the battery last about 29 to 30 hours. The cable is standard 3,5mm jack and on the other side, you have 2,5 mm which you plug into your headphones, but is a double disadvantage, you need a special cable from JBL and you cant have Standart, also this special cable is not braided or protected against cable tear-off.

also advertises its JBL Pure BAss system and you will hear the difference.

Now I think most people will go without cable and rely on solely Bluetooth sound transmission, The sound itself is clear, has a good bass overall, you get a very pleasant experience. However, with the ANC, it is I would say one-tier better, than without, I tested the system on a few occasions and with and without the cable. Before I tell you my test results, I need to mention that the is a slight difference between Bluetooth sound and cable transferred sound, but it is not a significant difference and I fully encourage you to have a wireless experience.

Now back to Anc .

I had ANC turned up in Prague underground and I was impressed, you will still hear some noise from the train, but and this very important bud, you don't hear other people talking around you, so if you close eyes, you are all alone in the train. overall I was impressed by its performance in public areas. Only public transport I couldn't test was an aeroplane. We can say that ANC has also function of EQ boost, By that I mean the sound is more full and colourfull.

Versus Sony Hi-Res WH-1000XM3 and Bose QuietComfort 35 II

Now let's see how they compare against the leader of the ANC technology,5gy.

and

QuietComfort 35 II

which are second-best in rankings

Disclaimer this just for comparison

Both Sonny and Bose have protective covers for the headphones, just sonny has USB C, BOSE and JBL have both MicroUSB First, Sonny has an inner metal frame, which makes headphones heavier 255 grams. same for bose 237 grams, so JBL is with all plastic frame the lightweight of these three. As for Bluetooth, Both JBL and Bose have 4.1 version and Sonny has 4.2 version.

Sonny has SUPPORTED AUDIO FORMAT(S)

SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC

Bose supports SBC and ACC

JBL also supports SBC and ACC

As the range and Frequency response, both Bose Sonny have the same range from 4 to 40000 HZ. JBL headphones have ranged from 20 to 20000 HZ which is half.

Sony has also better sensitivity, but the difference is not so big as it was with the range. Sonny 104,5 dB/mW and JBL has up to 100 dB/mW,

This number means Power handling capacity, that is capable of the signal that headphones can process.

So what the hell John, why should I even care for some JBL if you just told us about the best headphones.

Now hold on my friend. If you are on a budget or a broke student like myself.

This where the JBL Wins. If you look at Amazon, right now in the time of recording the sonny are more than 220 dollars more than JBL that is around 320 dollars USD, and bose costs around 250 USD in a sale.

On the other hand, JBL 600BTCN is 100 bucks.

OVERALL

Overall I think it is a very good package of functions at a relatively reasonable price. Decently playing headphones if you are looking for a sound style that is good to wear and use.

or 100 dollars you will get one the, and this is my solely my opinion the better price/performance headphones on the market.
