JBL LIVE Headphone Series

JBL is back with a new wireless headphone series, toting powerful JBL Signature Sound, a sleek look and smart, touch-control features: the JBL LIVE Series.

JBL is making audio devices designed to work with the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice service technologies. Once activated through the My JBL Headphones app, a simple tap to the left earcup delivers a seamless headphone listening experience, letting users search for the newest songs from their favorite artists, ask for directions to a local coffee shop or queue a calendar reminder for weekend activities.

Additionally, the JBL LIVE 400BT and LIVE 500BT headphones are embedded with TalkThru and Ambient Aware technologies. With TalkThru, music is lowered at the touch of a button to make it easy to chat with a friend without removing the headphones. In Ambient Aware mode, listeners can control the amount of background noise they want to let in, to stay keyed into their surroundings when it’s needed most, such as walking in a busy intersection, dodging through a crowd of people.

JBL is offering five models to choose from with aluminum finishes.

At the top end is the Live 650BTNC. As the model number suggests, this is the wireless noise cancelling over-ear option. It's also the priciest at $199.95. For your investment, JBL says you can expect up to 20 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation enabled. That figure goes up to 30 hours with ANC off and Speed Charge tech enable a full charge in less that two hours. Touch controls are available here too.

If you're not into noise cancellation, the Live 400BT and Live 500BT are wireless on-ear and over-ear options, respectively. The on-ear 400BT offers up to 24 hours of music on a charge with the Speed Charge tech to keep charging speedy. For the Live 500BT, expect up to 30 hours plus the Speed Charge option. Touch controls and both the Ambient Aware and TalkThru audio transparency modes that are also on some of JBL's new true wireless earbuds are also on the features list for both of these models. In terms of price, the Live 400BT is $99.95 and the Live 500BT is $149.95.

The $69.95 Live 200BT is a set or wireless halo-style behind-the-neck earbuds. Up to 10 hours of battery life and that Speed Charge tool are the key stats here. Last but not least, the Live 100 is a $39.95 set of wired earbuds.

The JBL LIVE Series will be available for purchase starting Spring 2019 in a variety of pricing and color options.
