hether you are a music lover or not, you have

heard of JBL. They are famous for making

quality headphones and loudspeakers. If

you are looking to buy a new pair of headphones then

you are in luck. The company recently released five

Live Series headphones namely JBL Live 650BTNC,

JBL Live 500BT, JBL Live 400BT, JBL Live 200BT and

JBL Live 100. All of them have different price tags, and

so, it is only natural for them to offer different features.

The most expensive model is the JBL Live

650BTNC, which costs `12,599. It is optimised for

Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa digital assistants.

However, the main highlight is that this is the only

pair from the latest series that supports active noise

cancellation. The battery will last close to 20 hours

with noise cancellation.

JBL Live 500BT and JBL Live 400BT, which cost

`9,999 and `7,899 respectively, are also optimised for

Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. In addition to

that, they also feature Ambient Aware and TalkThru

technology support. With the help of the TalkThru

feature, users will be able to temporarily pause music

at the touch of a button, making it easy to chat with a

friend without having to remove the headphones. As

for the Ambient Aware mode, it will allow listeners to

control the amount of background noise they want to

let in, making it easy to listen to your favourite tracks

without completely tuning out your surroundings.

JBL Live 200BT and JBL Live 100 are the more

economical models that you can opt for if you are on

a budget. They both sport an in-ear design and are

priced at `5,299 and `2,499, respectively. Now it must

be mentioned that JBL Live 100 is the only model that

is not wireless and cannot support connectivity over

Bluetooth like the rest of the models in the series.

The best thing about the series is that it has

something for every kind of budget. No matter how

much you are willing to spend, you are sure to get

a quality pair of headphones that will enhance your

listening experience.

JBL recently launched five headphones under their Live Series with

varying price tags
