Overview

This document serves as a quick start guide for the JBL LIVE460NC headphones, providing instructions on setup, usage, and features.

Function Description:

The JBL LIVE460NC are wireless headphones designed for a personalized and immersive listening experience. They offer Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio streaming and can also be used in a wired mode. A key feature is Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which helps to reduce ambient noise for a more focused listening experience. The headphones also incorporate voice assistant integration, allowing for hands-free control and access to various smart features.

Usage Features:

What's in the Box:

The package includes the JBL LIVE460NC headphones, a charging cable (USB-A to USB-C), an audio cable (3.5mm), and documentation (quick start guide, safety sheet, warranty card).

App Integration:

To enhance the user experience, the JBL Headphones app is available for download on both Google Play and the App Store. This app provides additional control and personalization options for the headphones.

Power On & Connect:

To power on the headphones, slide the power switch. For initial pairing, the headphones will enter Bluetooth pairing mode.

  • For Android™ 6.0+ devices: The headphones support Fast Pair. A notification will appear on your Android device, prompting you to tap to pair. The device will then be tied to your Google Account.
  • For other devices: Navigate to the Bluetooth settings on your device and select "JBL LIVE460NC" from the list of available devices to connect.

Multi-Point Connection:

The JBL LIVE460NC headphones support multi-point connection, allowing them to be connected to up to two devices simultaneously. To use this feature:

  • Connect the headphones to the first device via Bluetooth.
  • Put the headphones into pairing mode again (usually by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button).
  • Connect the headphones to the second device.
  • The headphones will automatically switch between the two connected devices based on audio playback.

Button Command:

The headphones feature several buttons for controlling various functions:

  • Volume Up (+):
    • Single press: Increase volume.
    • Press and hold for 2 seconds: Skip to the next track.
  • Multi-function Button (•):
    • Single press: Play/Pause audio, Answer/End call.
    • Double press: Next track.
    • Triple press: Previous track.
    • Press and hold for 2 seconds: Decline call.
  • Volume Down (-):
    • Single press: Decrease volume.
    • Press and hold for 2 seconds: Skip to the previous track.
  • Voice Assistant Button (L-side):
    • Press and hold for 2 seconds: Activate the selected voice assistant (Ok Google or Alexa built-in).
  • ANC/Ambient Aware/TalkThru Button (R-side):
    • Single press: Toggle between ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), Ambient Aware, and Off modes.
    • Double press: Activate TalkThru mode.
    • Note: Advanced controls for these features can be enabled by connecting your JBL LIVE460NC to the JBL Headphones app.

Auto-Play/Pause:

The headphones are equipped with an auto-play/pause feature. When you remove the headphones from your ears, audio playback will automatically pause. When you put them back on, playback will resume. This feature can be managed within the JBL Headphones app under "Play & Pause automation." The app also allows you to set an auto-off timer (e.g., 15 minutes).

Do More with the App:

The JBL Headphones app provides extensive customization and control:

  • Ambient Sound Control: Toggle between Noise Cancellation (ANC), Ambient Aware, and TalkThru modes. Ambient Aware allows you to hear your surroundings while still enjoying your music, while TalkThru lowers music volume and amplifies speech, making it easy to converse without removing your headphones.
  • Voice Assistant Setup: Set up your preferred voice assistant (Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa). The app will guide you through the setup process, and your headphones may restart during this time.

Hands-Free Voice Control (Google Assistant):

For Android users, the headphones offer hands-free voice control with Google Assistant. Simply say "Ok Google" to get started and issue commands such as:

  • "Play my Workout playlist"
  • "Turn up the volume"
  • "Send a message"
  • "What's my schedule today?"
  • "Set an alarm for 7 AM"
  • Note: This feature is only available on Android™ devices.

Hands-Free Voice Control (Alexa built-in):

The headphones also support Alexa built-in. Activate Alexa by saying "Alexa" and then give commands like:

  • "What's the weather?"
  • "Play today's hits"
  • "Turn on the lights"

Wired Listening Mode:

The headphones can be used in a wired mode by connecting the included 3.5mm audio cable to the headphone jack and your audio source (e.g., smartphone, laptop, tablet).

  • ANC ON: When the headphones are powered on and connected via cable, ANC can still be activated. Use the ANC button to cycle through ANC, Ambient Aware, and Off modes.
  • ANC OFF: If the headphones are powered off or the battery is depleted, they can still be used in wired mode without ANC.

Maintenance Features:

Charging:

To charge the headphones, connect the USB-C charging cable to the charging port on the headphones and a power source. A full charge takes approximately 2 hours. A quick 10-minute charge provides up to 4 hours of music playtime.

Factory Reset:

To perform a factory reset, press and hold the Volume Up (+) and Volume Down (-) buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. This will restore the headphones to their original factory settings.
