JBL Tune 750BTNC review: price and availability

Cost $130 / £120 / AU$200 at launch

Now available for much cheaper

Excellent value for money

The JBL Tune 750BTNC originally cost $130 / £120 / AU$200 when they were released in 2020, but expect to find them discounted for much less than that today.

Four different colors are available including black, blue, coral, and white. However, because these headphones are now a few years old you might be limited to the black version from some retailers.

Although they're not the newest pair of over-ears on the market, at this price the JBL Tune 750BTNC are even better value than they were when they launched – and we rated their price back then.

For some perspective, the current top over-ear, noise-cancelling headphones from Sony are $350 / £349 / AU$549. You can find out more about them in our Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones review. Of course, the Sonys are the best of the best and offer better performance than these bargain JBL headphones, but it shows that you don't have to pay a small fortune for some of the same features.

In terms of direct competition, the JBL Tune 750BTNC are more like the AKG N60NC wireless headphones in terms of price. You can pick up a pair of those for as low as $149 / £85 in the US and the UK depending on the retailer. Find out more about those in our AKG N60NC review.

They're also similar in price and specs to Final's first ANC wireless headphones, which cost $149 / £119 (about AU$200). Take a look at our Final Audio UX3000 review for more.

In summary, the JBL Tune 750BTNC are fantastic value for money. At the time of writing, the 750BTNCs are now available for $79.95 / £99 / AU$129 from the JBL website, so there's a good chance you'll find a bargain in your region.
