In today's review, we'll take a look at a pair of headphones from JBL, the Tune 510 BT and Tune 660 NC models. Both new products are practically identical in terms of sound, differing only in the level of equipment, which in the more expensive 660 NC model is enriched in particular with the ambient noise cancellation function (ANC). Apart from that, both models should be completely identical, so let's take a look at how they are in practice.
Specifications
In both cases, these are over-ear wireless headphones that drive 32 mm dynamic drivers with a frequency range of 20 Hz - 20 kHz, impedancí 32 Ohms and sensitivity of 103,5, or 100 dB SPL for the more expensive model. In both cases, the headphones support Bluetooth 5.0 and charging via USB-C toonewhich takes less than two hours from empty to full. The first major difference between the two models is the battery life. While the cheaper 510 BT model offers maxminimum battery life of up to 40 hours, the more expensive 660 NC then a decent 44 hours with the power on ANC and a very good 55 hours with the battery off ANC.

The differences in endurance are also reflected in the integrated batteries, whose capacities also differ slightly. The 510BT model has a 450 mAh battery, while the 660NC model has a 610 mAh battery. Both models feature the Quick Charge function, which means that five minutes of charging is enough for about 2 hours of operation. Despite the slightly different componeThe headphones are almost the same in weight, the difference is only 6 grams (160 and 166g). Both models are available in four colors variain the past.
Execution
In terms of design, both models are more or less identical. The only difference is that the more expensive model has one button (ANC) in addition, at the same time, the more expensive model also includes a rubberized connecting cable audio cable, which is missing from the cheaper model.
Right from the start, it is clear that we are dealing with wireless headphones from the lower price level. The materials used seem relatively cheap, the plastic is relatively light and the leather is very soft. The overall weight of the headphones is really low, which doesn't help the overall impression much. However, it should still be kept in mind that here we have headphones for around 1300, or 2600 crowns.
Apart from the slightly cheaper materials, the headphones have nothing to complain about in terms of fit and design. The important thing is that it doesn't throw anything anywhere, the controls are pleasant and the design is fully functional (both in terms of ergonomics and storage).
Ergonomics and controls
The headphones will offer a basic range of movement settings, both in the area of the head bridge and in the area of the earcups, which rotate in two axes. Thanks to the very low weight of the headphones, they are quite comfortable to wear, but it is necessary to mention the relatively strong pressure of the headphones. It is possible that with use the pressure will decrease, but it was noticeable in the case of the tested models. This is great if you're looking for really stable headphones that won't bend on your head, but it might be a bit uncomfortable for some.

All controls are located on the right earcup, and given the focus of the models, you shouldn't expect anything complex. The cheaper model has a power and pairing button in one, as well as a three-button module for controlling music playback or handling calls. The more expensive model offers one more button, which controls the functions ANC.
Sound
You can feel that these are low-end headphones, even in terms of sound. The sound delivery is slightly flat and it feels that it lacks the depth and "surrounding" function of the sound that we can find in some more expensive models. Compared to similar models in the same price range, however, the audio performance is in line with what you'll find from other manufacturers. In this regard, the price simply cannot be bypassed.
The most noticeable difference between the models is in terms of sound. In the case of the switched off ANC The sound of the more expensive model is very similar to that of the cheaper model, but if you turn on the noise cancellation function on the more expensive model, the sound is suddenly much richer and "bigger". Of course, this is not a qualitative leap of several orders of magnitude, but the overall performance is much more pleasant, with a much stronger presentation of bass frequencies and an emphasis on highs at the expense of the very "midrange" sound that the cheaper model or the more expensive one with the noise cancellation function turned off ANCHowever, if we strictly compare the 510 BT model with the 660NC with the ANC, the cheaper model sounds a little better – especially with regard to bass and treble delivery.
Function ANC as such it works solidly and can cope with ambient noise quite well, unless it is something very loud. For example, it does not completely filter out the sounds of a tram, but even some more expensive models cannot do that. For normal everyday use on the ears of an undemanding user, the operation is ANC quite sufficient.
záver
Evaluating the models described above is actually very simple. In the case of the JBL Tune 510 BT, we have a model that scores especially for its price. For less than 1400 crowns you get wireless headphones with very good durability, sound that will satisfy undemanding users and you will also be able to choose from many colors. variaThese are ideal headphones for children, for example, and you won't regret losing or damaging them.
The 660NC model is almost twice as expensive, and here we have to ask whether these are twice as good headphones. The more expensive model will offer noticeably longer battery life, better sound performance and functionality. ANC, which will be appreciated by anyone who travels a lot, for example by public transport. However, you still get headphones that feel relatively cheap due to the materials used, and the sound quality when turned off ANC It's not particularly flashy. If these drawbacks aren't important to you, this model is worth considering.
