The JBL TUNE 750BTNC are wireless over-ear headphones with ANC that don't stand out too much from the crowd. Their ear cups are awkwardly-sized and they fit more like a mix of on-ear and over-ear headphones, causing them to rest on top of your ears, which gets uncomfortable fairly quickly. They look and feel quite cheap due to their all-plastic build, and their ANC doesn't do much to help block out background noise. On the upside, they have a very well-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box that has a bit of extra warmth and punch in the bass without it being overpowering, making them versatile enough for most genres and contents, from EDM to podcasts.

Our Verdict

0.0
Neutral Sound 

The JBL TUNE 750BTNC are quite decent for neutral sound listening. Their sound profile is very well-balanced and accurate, and while they have a bit of extra bass, it isn't overpowering and adds a welcome bit of warmth and punch to music. They're quite consistent among various users, though their awkwardly-shaped ear cups mean that different people experience their bass response differently.

Pros
  • Very well-balanced and versatile sound profile.
  • Fairly consistent frequency response among various users.
Cons
  • Awkwardly-sized ear cups aren't very comfortable.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

The JBL TUNE 750BTNC are okay headphones for commuting and travel. Their ANC feature doesn't do much to help against the low rumble of bus and plane engines, and most people will likely find they cause a bit of discomfort after a few hours. On the bright side, their 17.4-hour battery should easily last most flights or bus rides.

Pros
  • Very well-balanced and versatile sound profile.
  • Good, longer-than-advertised battery life.
  • Easy-to-use controls.
Cons
  • Awkwardly-sized ear cups aren't very comfortable.
  • Mediocre noise isolation, even with ANC.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The JBL TUNE 750BTNC are decent headphones for sports. They feel stable enough on the head for most jogs or light runs, though they'll likely slide off during more intense workouts. Their over-ear design will likely cause you to sweat more than usual, though we don't currently have a test for this. On the bright side, their controls are easy to use, allowing you to easily adjust your music mid-run.

Pros
  • Good, longer-than-advertised battery life.
  • Decently stable fit shouldn't move during light runs or workouts.
  • Easy-to-use controls.
Cons
  • Awkwardly-sized ear cups aren't very comfortable.
  • Plasticky and cheap build quality.
0.0
Office 

The JBL TUNE 750BTNC are alright headphones for the office. Their 17.4-hour battery should easily last a couple of full workdays, and they leak very little audio so your music shouldn't bother your coworkers. Unfortunately, they aren't the most comfortable, and unless you have very small ears, you'll likely feel some fatigue fairly quickly. They also don't block out very much background noise, so they won't help keep you concentrated in a noisy office.

Pros
  • Very well-balanced and versatile sound profile.
  • Good, longer-than-advertised battery life.
  • Easy-to-use controls.
Cons
  • Awkwardly-sized ear cups aren't very comfortable.
  • Mediocre noise isolation, even with ANC.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

The JBL TUNE 750BTNC aren't recommended for wireless gaming. They only support a wireless connection via Bluetooth meaning they aren't compatible with Xbox One or PS4. While you can connect them to a PC or mobile device, their sub-par microphone performance and fairly high latency make them less than ideal for gaming.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

The JBL TUNE 750BTNC are satisfactory for wired gaming if you don't need mic support. These headphones come with a 1/8" TRS to 1/8" TRRS cable and can only support audio, so you won't be able to use the mic. Their sound profile is very well-balanced, and your game's explosions have a bit of extra rumble, while dialogue is easy to understand.

Pros
  • Very well-balanced and versatile sound profile.
Cons
  • Awkwardly-sized ear cups aren't very comfortable.
0.0
Phone Calls 

The JBL TUNE 750BTNC are mediocre headphones for phone calls. Their easy-to-use controls and integrated microphone make it easy to answer a call while on-the-go, but unfortunately, their microphone's recording quality is only mediocre. Your voice sounds fairly thin and gets easily drowned out in noisy environments.

Pros
  • Very well-balanced and versatile sound profile.
  • Easy-to-use controls.
Cons
  • Mediocre microphone recording quality.
  • Mediocre noise isolation, even with ANC.

    Popular Headphones Comparisons

Their ANC doesn't work as well as some other similarly-priced models, and they look and feel quite cheap and uncomfortable. On the bright side, they have a very well-balanced and accurate sound profile that's versatile enough for most genres, but unfortunately, they don't have a dedicated companion app with EQ settings.
