Nieuw en ongebruikt. Nog volledig in de originele, ongeopende verpakking. Gewonnen, maar ik ga hem zelf niet gebruiken en daarom verkoop ik hem. De reguliere nieuwprijs is €142,99.
Compared with the obvious alternative of buying a used, opened pair, €120 is a fair-to-good price for these unopened JBL Live 780NCs. It sits above the €73 median in our 1,181-listing sample, but remains comfortably below the €203 75th percentile; the sealed condition and complete original package justify paying that premium.
The Live 780NC is a capable all-rounder: comfortable over-ear design, effective adaptive ANC for commuting, multipoint Bluetooth, app-based tuning and excellent endurance—up to 50 hours with ANC or 80 hours switched off. A five-minute charge adds roughly four hours, making them particularly convenient for travel. They are not the last word in refinement or high-frequency noise suppression, but at €120, unopened and presumably with a valid purchase receipt or warranty, this looks like a worthwhile buy rather than an inflated listing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
JBL traces its roots to 1946, when pioneering audio engineer James Bullough Lansing founded the company in Los Angeles, California, initially as James B. Lansing Sound, Incorporated. A veteran of loudspeaker design from earlier ventures like the Lansing Manufacturing Company and collaborations on Hollywood's first practical cinema systems, Lansing infused JBL with his relentless pursuit of acoustic clarity and fidelity. Though he passed away in 1949 amid financial strains, the brand endured under new leadership, accelerating in 1969 with acquisition by Harman International—now under Samsung—fueling global expansion and innovation.
JBL excels across professional and consumer audio realms, renowned for its loudspeakers that dominate studios, touring rigs, cinemas, and home setups. Iconic models like the D-130 woofer, Paragon stereophonic system, and L-100 Century defined eras of high-output sound, while modern lines span portable Bluetooth speakers, wireless headphones, soundbars, and pro monitors. The brand prioritizes robust transducers, advanced horns, and diamond-surround tech over niche components like turntables, DACs, or cables.
Positioned as a mid-tier powerhouse with pro-grade heritage, JBL commands respect among discerning buyers for delivering punchy, reliable performance at accessible prices, bridging live-event energy and home listening without high-end esoterica. Its vintage icons draw collectors, yet contemporary ubiquity in arenas and everyday gear cements market dominance for those valuing scale and excitement over boutique refinement.
