PRESS RELEASE
Stylish LIVE headphones series with Urban Noise Control features now available
LONDON – June 14, 2019 – JBL is back with a new wireless headphone series to take your listening experience to the next level. Designed for urban life, the new LIVE series provides JBL Signature Sound in a comfortable and stylish package that’s ready for the streets. Prepare to enjoy an innovative listening experience in any surroundings, powered by the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
The ideal combination of style and substance, JBL’s new LIVE range is perfect for music lovers everywhere. The LIVE 650BTNC and 500BT bring over-ear comfort, LIVE 400BT features an on-ear design and LIVE 220BT is for those who prefer in-ear headphones. The entire range features Bluetooth connectivity and LIVE 300BT will be released later in the year to provide a True Wireless solution.
JBL LIVE headphones are packed with handy features to allow listeners to enjoy incredible sound quality in even the busiest of places. The LIVE 400BT, LIVE 500BT and LIVE 220BT headphones all feature Urban Noise Control technologies TalkThru and Ambient Aware, allowing listeners to tune in and out when needed. With TalkThru, music volume is lowered and outward facing microphones are activated, amplifying the voices and sounds around you to make it easy to chat with friends without removing your headphones. In Ambient Aware mode, you can control the level of background noise to stay tuned into your surroundings when it’s needed most. The flagship model, the JBL LIVE 650BTNC, has built-in Active Noise Cancelling technology, which blocks out ambient sounds so nothing disturbs your music.
In addition to Urban Noise Control, the entire LIVE range has built-in voice assistance to allow for hands-free help anywhere. Whether you’re looking for your favourite artist’s latest song or directions to your next meeting, a simple tap to the left earcup delivers a seamless headphone listening experience, with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa on hand to get your answers straight into your ears.
With four devices to choose from with sleek, aluminum finishes and a lightweight feel, the perfect headphone is within reach for anyone with an on-the-go lifestyle.
