JBL is one of the most popular audio brands in the world. Even so I have not had much opportunity to get hands-on with the company's headphones. That changes now with the JBL Tune 710BT wireless over ear headphones. In this review I will try out a pair in my home, I'll let you know what special features these headphones have and talk about how comfortable they are to wear and how long the battery life is. I'll wrap things up with the pros and the cons overall and let you know if I think I can recommend these headphones for you.

What you get
Headphones are incredibly personal, and come with a boatload of features that you may think are must haves or mere extras. Similarly the cost of over-ear headphones can vary wildly from the price of a takeaway pizza to part of your monthly rent payment. The JBL Tune 710BT are positioned firmly on the budget side of the scale, and not just because they are now an older model.
Introduced back in late 2021 the Tune 710 often sells for under $60 USD / $90 CAD. Given their original release date it won't be surprising that they are lacking some of the newer technology found in premium newer headphones; things like spatial audio and noise cancellation.
So are these a cheap and cheerful bargain hunter’s dream, or best left for the discount bin? Let’s dive in…
About the JBL TUNE 710BT
Browsing JBL’s product catalog is a little confusing at first even if you narrow down the category to just over-ear headphones making it important to understand exactly how the JBL TUNE 710BT slots in the current lineup.
From a family perspective, the 710BT is the top tier model in the Tune series with a BT suffix. BT obviously means Bluetooth (version 5.0), but for JBL’s TUNE family, it also means lack of active noise cancelling which is key reason behind its price positioning.
Not having active noise cancelling is not necessarily a bad thing with the JBL TUNE 710BT because its over-ear design means that you can still expect some passive noise isolation from the thick padding and all-around cups. If you aren’t the frequent flyer type, you might just find the JBL 710BT sufficient for blocking most ambient sound.
Design and Comfort
The JBL 710BT feels a bit studier than your typical pair of $30 headphones and the extra synthetic leather padding adds to the comfort. You can fold the headphones as well for easy storage. While JBL is known for some flash, or even light shows on some of the company’s portable speakers, these headphones are way more discreet than that.
The subtle all black matte finish design means these are not going to stand out, so they might be ideal for those who are trying to focus in an office type environment. The adjustable headband has a small section of padding across the top middle where it meets your head; a lot less than many other over ear headbands, but again JBL is trying to save you money here.
Despite that, JBL has designed the headband well and the lack of all-around padding is actually not noticeable at all either via looks or feel once these are on your head.
For my personal taste and comfort, the ear cups are a little on the small side; they are only just as tall as my ears and barely as wide, meaning quite often my earlobes are sticking out. I don't think I have particularly large ears, but if I’m being honest, these almost seem more suited to a child's fit than a grown adult’s, particularly for you bigger-eared males out there. The headphones do you have a decent amount of clamping force yet even so, they don't feel uncomfortable.
Thanks for the review Erin.
Thanks as always for watching! :)
The JBL app works with these headphones. You can control the sound quality and see battery life.
I can’t seem to add it to the app but the stock sound is just really weak if I’m being honest.i expected a lot more from JBL
Which App I have tried, JBL App doesn’t support it?
Hi Erin, thank you for another informative and balanced review. My go-to headphones are still my Beats Studio3 wireless, but I recently purchased some very inexpensive wired JVC headphones to use as a backup while the Beats are charging. (The JVCs replaced my cheap Sony phones that had the ear padding come off...) RogerC 3/19/24
I got the JBL Live 460NC mainly for listening to audiobooks and podcasts while doing chores around the house. Much nicer looking, better headband, on ear, noise cancelling, 50 hours/40 with ANC on. Voice control google/alexa. When not in use you put down and they automatically pause and resume playing when picked up again. When battery dies you can use the audio cable still which is nice. At $99 Canadian when on sale I feel it's a better deal overall. Try them out if you can Erin.
The music has to be lowered down like -5... nice review like always.
Got them over half price but they sold out fast! Found em front page of a flyer got a rain check!
Nice review. Considering the price, I can live with the cons.
Big-eared and big-headed male here, thanks for commenting on the clamping force! It's not often mentioned in other headphone reviews, and some other JBLs were like a skull-crushing torture device for me.
Thank you for sharing
Your phone's bluetooth settings should list connected devices battery life
