About this deal

The JBL JR 460 NC are are great pair of headphones targeting children 6+. They offer a cool design, especially on the headband so depending on the size rather than the size they have to switch that for Musical notes. The headphones also provide ANC and when switched on you will notice the lows and mids are reduced when looking to reduce the sound of the washing machine I have next to my office it did helo to reduce some of that rumble when the machine is on a spin. It’s not perfect as it does not reduce all the unwanted noise out there. The headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 and support the SBC codec. JBL estimates roughly 20 hours of battery life (or 30 hours with ANC off), but your results will vary based on usage. Bass-Forward Sound, Average ANC, Clear Mics

The sound quality of the JBL JR 460 NC is as good as you might expect considering JBL the brand. What JBL has done here is put in a safety feature at 85dB meaning even at the max volume they will never damage your ears or get too loud. This allows the sound to stay clear and defined. Some apps like Tic Tok can have harsh high frequencies due to the audio compression. JBL have considered this to adjust the EQ and it sounds great. The headphones are easy to use with simple-to-understand controls and the fact they have volume limit control will ease any concerns a parent might have for their child. JBL has also offered a beefy bass that really does improve the overall listening experience. The ANC is not the best on the market but does reduce some outside noise down a few levels. For over 75 years, JBL has shaped life’s most memorable moments at the intersection of music, lifestyle, gaming and sports.

About HARMAN In the second product sent to us after the JBL Flip 6, we are reviewing the JBL JR 460NC which is also been released considering we are heading into summer and the dreaded 6-week holidays. Giving your child some headphones to listen to the latest Harry Styles song might give you 5 minutes of peace.

Hear it first.

What you will notice is the audio quality performance does not change when ANC is on or off which is a real benefit for headphones like these. Built-in Mic Last but not least the battery life is designed to function for 20 hours with ANC switched on or this increases to 30 hours with ANC switched off. This does vary on user habits but in testing, these provided fairly accurate listening figures. Sound Quality The headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 and also support the SBC codec. The headphones allow you to pair multiple devices at once and take advantage of Google fast pair if you use an android device to streamline the connection process. The mic offers solid intelligibility and a clear signal. When we tested their performance on an iPhone using the Voice Memos app, we could understand every word we recorded with minimal Bluetooth distortion. When there’s a strong signal, your child’s voice should be easy to understand. For Kids Who Love Bass

When you first look at these headphones they look like a normal pair of JBL headphones but the size and a few subtle details when you take a closer look indicate they are designed with kids in mind. For example, inside both cups indicate which cup is the left & right cup. The headphones come with circumaural ear cups that provide cushioned earpads that really do add to the comfort levels. The headband is also well padded and the fit will allow the user to use these for long periods of time as the comfort has been considered in the build and these will be secure on your head for long periods of use.

Why is JBL JR 460NC better than the average?

On the plus side, audio performance sounds about the same with the ANC on or off—which is how it should be, but isn't always the case with less expensive ANC. Internally, 32mm drivers deliver a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz and a maximum volume of 85dB. That’s louder than some of the volume-limited pairs we test, but it’s still within the recommended volume limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Furthermore, you can't disable the volume-limiting here, which isn't always the case with kid-friendly headphones. Update 12/16/2021: These headphones were updated to Test Bench 1.5 and their latency values have changed. Our previous Test Bench 1.4 measurements reported the Video Mode's iOS latency at 111 ms. However, our new test bench uses an average of three measurements instead of one, resulting in 51 ms of latency on iOS when using 'Video Mode'. As a result, we have updated our text to better reflect test bench 1.5 measurements. The JBL JR 460 NC as mentioned comes in 3 colour offerings in this review we were sent the white option that also uses some grey mainly on the cups and the inside of the headphones. The is finished with some orange details at the ends of each side of the headband. They have been designed for children who are starting to get interested in music streaming, Youtube or online gaming. JBL has made these headphones durable, and easy to use while keeping the audio quality the brand is known for with their adult range.

Inside the box, you are presented with the JR 460 NC Headphones, a 3.5mm cable for a wired connection, USB-A to USB-C charging cable and a user guide.

Safe, stylish, and full of kid-friendly features
