Ideal for budget-conscious listeners who value long playback and multipoint connectivity.
The JBL Tune 770NC are wireless over-ear headphones featuring adaptive noise cancelling, a 40 mm driver, and up to 70 hours of playback with ANC off.

Professional reviewers from B&H and Thomann commend the ATH-M20xBTWH for delivering full-range, hi-fi audio with large 40 mm drivers, exceptional 60-hour battery life, low-latency mode and multipoint pairing, while also appreciating the wired cable option for studio use. Their main criticisms focus on the lack of active noise cancellation and the limited AAC/SBC codec support, which may deter users seeking premium wireless audio features.
Everyday users rate the headphones highly, emphasizing the rich bass, long battery life, comfort and easy pairing as standout strengths. Recurring complaints center on the omnidirectional mic picking up ambient noise, the absence of ANC and the perception of a less rugged build.
“Exceptional battery life (70 hours ANC off)”
Professional reviewers acknowledge the JBL Tune 770NC's strong battery endurance, solid driver sensitivity, and comfortable lightweight build, but they criticize the tight ear cup fit, modest ANC performance, and the absence of a travel case.
Everyday users love the marathon-length battery, the bass-forward sound, and the convenience of quick charging, especially for travel and workouts. However, recurring frustrations center on the cramped ear cups, plasticky feel, occasional ANC leakage, and the missing carrying case.
