#207 JBL Live 770NC: $169.95 Wireless Amazon $169.95 eBay
Pros: Active noise cancelling and a claimed 65 hours of battery (50 with ANC on) suit long flights and daily commutes, and the 32 ohm drivers also work wired. Bass lovers get plenty of weight, with sub-bass about 4.5 dB and bass about 5.8 dB above target in hobbyist measurements. The overall tilt is warm, matching listeners who prefer a fuller, bassy presentation.
Cons: A 9.1 dB dip near 9.7 kHz right after a 5.5 dB peak near 6.9 kHz makes cymbals sound uneven, with some sharpness and then missing shimmer. The raised bass pushes the response far from neutral, with a preference score of 47.6. The Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X rates slightly higher for less money.
