Rank #5 in Best Noise Cancelling Headphones: 9 Ranked, Where the Battery Numbers Fail
JBL Tune 770 NC Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The JBL Tune 770 NC is the fifth pick in this guide, at £45.85 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 12,403 ratings. It is the entry where the battery arithmetic is least interesting, in a good way: the title claims 70-hour battery life, the JBL bullet claims up to 70 hours of playback, and the specification field for Battery Charge Time reads 2 Hours. A two-hour charge sitting behind a 70-hour figure is a ratio that makes sense, which is more than can be said for the premium pairs higher up the page.
What does not line up on this listing is a description rather than a number. The title and the Headphone Form Factor field both say Over Ear, but the box-contents bullet lists '1 x JBL Tune 770 NC wireless on-ear headphones'. That same bullet names a USB-C charging cable, a detachable audio cable, a warning and a Quick Start Guide, while the Box Contents specification field says only 'Cable'. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this product, not from any testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Fast delivery, I have samsung Galaxy S26, easy to set up,you get A QR Code,Which downloads the app,2 hrs first charge, it gets you 70 hrs battery life,”
Verified purchase“I recently had a pair of beats headphones and Sony Headphones; They both snapped after about a years use. Wasn't going to spend another £150 on flimsy headphones, so got this pair that was much cheaper. Noise cancellation is great for the price, as is sound quality (obviously not as good as more expensive models though). Very happy with these for the price I paid.”
