Product FAQ:
Q: How can voice assistant be completely disabled?
A: JBL Customer Service advises people to disable voice assistance in the My JBL Headphones app. However, as of at least December 2022, there is no My JBL Headphones app available in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. You can switch from Alexa to Siri with an iPhone, but you cannot turn off either assistant.
Q: Are the electronics functional when using wired?
A: When using the Aux/Audio cable, the electronic functions of the JBL Live 660NC will not be activated as the headphones will act as passive headphones when wired.
Q: What is the difference between active noise cancelling and adaptive noise cancelling?
A: Active Noise Cancellation helps to reduce background and surrounding noises. Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation automatically adjusts noise-canceling levels in real-time, 50,000 times per second to account for environmental ambient noises and personal attributes such as movement, hair, and eyeglasses to deliver best-in-class Noise Cancelling and immersive sound in any environment.
