JBL Tour One M2 - Wireless over-ear Noise Cancelling headphones - Built for comfort, designed for inspiration. - Black

As an avid user of the Sony WH-1000XM4's, I was keen to find some new headphones which I could use to DJ as my Sennheiser's are on their last legs. I was keen on something modern, light, portable and with noise cancelling features. I also wanted something wireless to remove the possibility of wires being entangled or pulling long cables when djing. These JBL TOUR ONE M2 did just what I needed and then some. There is a dedicated app available to use, control and customise the headphones to your own sound preferences which is extremely handy as I prefer a bass driven sound so I adjusted the sound to match my needs. The EQ balance within the app is a great feature and even at low volume you can still hear the driving bass sounds in every track (an important feature for a house music DJ like me). There is a USB C cable supplied for charging and also a 3.5mm audio cable if you prefer not to connect wirelessly using the Bluetooth feature. The headphones are lightweight and comfortable even when worn over an extended duration and I particularly like the padded leather strip where the headphones sit on your head – makes them more comfortable. The closed cups are also made of leather with lovely padding inside for added comfort and they sit well on your ears thanks to the adjustable strap on the headphones – meaning I can give them to my daughter when I'm not using them, and she can adjust them to fit her head/ears. The noise cancellation feature is superb – and it was the first time I had used adaptive ANC. You get to set just how much you sound you want to filter through, and you can also set it up so the headphones detect when you are having a conversation and the sound filters automatically! You can actually set the particular scenario you are in so the sound adjusts itself automatically! Then there's the Personal Sound Amplification feature where you can change the sound balance and have one ear louder than then other – what other headphones have you ever seen with this feature?? Amazing! I remember making several calls whilst in loud areas and a friend actually commented on the quality of the sound and the fact that they could hear me clearly and that the background noise was suitably suppressed. This is thanks to the 4-mic control feature. Another impressive feature was the battery life, and I counted a period of 4 days where I was using the headphones for my commute to work and back home and didn't need to charge them. Then finally there's the handy hard cover carry case which allowed me to travel with the headphones, neatly folded away and stuffed into my backpack without worrying about any potential damage. All in all, I highly recommend these headphones and I must say they definitely offer a strong competitive option to mu old Sony's. I am impressed and equally intrigues by how the JD TOUR ONE M2's are able to utilise technology to deliver a truly unique experience. Highly recommended!
