The JR 460 NC headphones are designed for people who want the best sound quality possible. They include circumaural earcups with thickly padded earpads, and the headband should fit snugly and be comfortable even during extended listening sessions.

The headphones have a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz and a maximum volume of 85dB. This is louder than some of the headphones we test that have volume limits, but it is still within the WHO-recommended volume limits. Additionally, you cannot turn off the volume limitation in this situation, which is not usually the case with headphones made for children. ..

The JBL AE-1005 is a Bluetooth speaker that comes with a multipurpose button, ANC button, and power and pairing buttons. The multifunction button on your associated device can also activate the voice assistant. The USB-C connector at the top can be used for charging; JBL offers a USB-A to USB-C charging cable. You can put the provided audio cable into this panel for passive listening.

The JBL SBC Codec and Bluetooth 5.0 compatibility of the headphones are both supported. The battery life of the headphones is about 20 hours (or 30 hours without ANC).

The headphones offer great thumping bass on songs with heavy sub-bass content, like The Knife’s “Silent Shout.” Even at the highest sound levels on your sound source, the volume never rises above 85dB, which makes things sound fuller than most competing models. ..

The music of Bill Callahan is a mix of deep and bright bass, with some extra low-mid and high-mids to give it a fuller sound. The vocals on the track are also well balanced, with a good amount of lows and highs. The acoustic strum and higher-register percussion add some extra depth to the mix.

The kick drum loop on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “No Church in the Wild” receives enough high-mid presence for its onslaught to remain punchy. The drum loop benefits from the extra wallop, thus this does not imply that the JR 460 NC’s drivers sound flat. It’s impressive that volume-limited headphones can summon this much low-end push for the sub-bass synth hits that break up the beat. The vocals on this track are driven cleanly and without any additional sibilance by the headphones.
