JBL Tune 780NC Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones

The JBL Tune 780NC is JBL’s 2026 over-ear noise cancelling headphone, and it lands in a spot that is hard to argue with: Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Spatial Sound and up to 76 hours of battery, at a price well under the premium brands. We stock it at My Memory Store with islandwide delivery across Sri Lanka.

Adaptive Noise Cancelling that adjusts to where you are

The Tune 780NC does not just switch noise cancelling on and off. Adaptive ANC measures the sound around you and adjusts the level continuously, so a noisy bus on the Galle Road and a quiet room at home get different treatment without you touching anything. Two extra modes make it practical for daily use: Ambient Aware lets outside sound in when you need to hear traffic or an announcement, and TalkThru lowers the music and boosts voices so you can have a quick conversation without taking the headphones off.

76 hours of battery – or 50 with ANC running

JBL rates the Tune 780NC at up to 76 hours with noise cancelling off, and up to 50 hours with it on. Even the ANC figure is more than most competitors manage with it switched off. A full charge takes about two hours over USB-C, and the speed charge feature gives you five hours of playtime from a five minute top-up – enough to save a flight or a long bus journey.

40mm drivers, Hi-Res sound and Spatial Sound

Each cup holds a 40mm driver. Over Bluetooth you get a 10Hz to 20kHz response with JBL’s Pure Bass tuning; plug in the included USB-C to 3.5mm cable and that extends to 10Hz-40kHz for Hi-Res listening. Spatial Sound widens the soundstage so music and films feel like they are happening around you rather than inside your head. The free JBL Headphones app lets you adjust the EQ, switch listening modes and update the firmware.

Connect to two devices at once

Bluetooth 6.0 brings a more stable connection and better power efficiency, but the feature you will actually notice is Multipoint. The headphones hold connections to two devices at the same time – your laptop and your phone, say – and switch automatically when a call comes in. Pairing is quick too, with Google Fast Pair on Android and Swift Pair on Windows.

Calls people can actually hear

There are four microphones in total, two of them dedicated to calls with beamforming that focuses on your voice and suppresses the noise around you. Combined with the battery life, these work as a full working day headset for Zoom, Teams and WhatsApp calls.

Comfortable enough for long sessions

Soft over-ear cushions sit around your ears rather than pressing on them, which makes a real difference over a few hours compared to an on-ear design. The headband is padded and the cups fold in, so they pack down into a bag easily.

How this compares to the JBL Tune 770NC

If you are choosing between the two, the 780NC is the newer model with Bluetooth 6.0, Spatial Sound and the higher 76-hour rating. The JBL Tune 770NC is still an excellent headphone and costs less, so it is the better buy if your budget is tighter and you do not need Spatial Sound.

Frequently asked questions

How good is the noise cancelling?
It is Adaptive ANC, which adjusts automatically to your surroundings. It handles steady noise such as bus and aircraft engines, road noise and air conditioning very well. No headphone at any price removes sudden sounds like a horn or someone speaking beside you.

What is the difference between Ambient Aware and TalkThru?
Ambient Aware lets outside sound in while your music keeps playing, so you can hear traffic. TalkThru drops the music volume and boosts voices so you can hold a short conversation without removing the headphones.

Can I use it with a cable?
Yes. A USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable is included, and wired listening gives you the wider 10Hz-40kHz Hi-Res range.

Does the battery really last 76 hours?
That is JBL’s rating with noise cancelling off, at moderate volume. With ANC on it is rated up to 50 hours. Loud listening will reduce both figures.

Can I connect my phone and laptop together?
Yes. Multipoint keeps two devices connected and switches between them automatically.

Is there a warranty?
Yes, 6 months.

Do you deliver outside Galle?
Yes. Islandwide delivery in 1 to 3 working days, with cash on delivery available.
