JBL Aware Sports In-Ear Headphones with Noise Cancellation (iOS Lighting Port Only) $49 Free Shipping JB HI FI - RRP: $299

1150

Had my eye on these when they were first announced, but was an eye watering price of $299.
Sport headphones with active noise cancellation, they use Apple's Lighting connector only so they don't need a separate power source and can draw power from the phone.
So yes, for Apple Devices only (so those that always whine when an Apple deal is posted "why pay so much for a phone…I have a cup and a string and it works fine" need not apply!)

For $49 I gave them a shot, did a 10km run with them and they worked great, far better sound than my PowerBeats 3 (my reining best pick for sports headphones) and I would sacrifice bluetooth for better sound and active noise cancellation. Good fit in my ears (which is rare) and a range of tips just in case.

Red, Blue and Teal $49, Black is $99 (which is technically still a bargain, just not a bargain enough!), free next day shipping on all colours.

        It's ok need to feel a bit like jv, just to feel what jv feels.

  • Can you have them as just noise cancelling headphones without playing music? Or does that require playing something and turning volume all the way down?

    • +1

      Yes, you can have ANC on and pause music.

  • +12

    Jogging seems like the one time you wouldn't want Noice Cancellation. I like to hear the cars that are about to run me over.

    • It has an app that allows toy to control the ANC, including an adaptive mode for running on roads - and of course you can turn ANC off for just listing to music.
      I fond they have been great for Podcasts, make it much easier to listen.

    • They are the Aware version, they can let in some ambient noise while still NC

    • +1

      you're in luck as the reviews seem to suggest NC isn't very good/strong on this model

      That's called active life cancellation.

  • Thanks op got a blue pair ! Feel better about missing EarPods yesterday now.

  • Thanks OP, bought a red one

  • I predict wireless headphones one day. And Apple will make them and you will pay a fortune for them.

    • +1

      Your too late… Apple already taking your money, either directly or via Beats.

      …Wireless headphones have been around for years.

      I think Risto is being facetious.

  • why up vote these. reviews are all 3/5 or 6/10
    googlee

    • +14

      Any 9/15 reviews?

    • I reckon the reviews are based on the 200 dollar price tag. At this price? hmm.

    • Review was based on RRP.

    • Same as comments above. If you look at reviews, a few are critical at the price point and also skewed downwards by those who have pairs that did not work properly.

    • For the price, they are 9/10 if not 10/10…

  • I've never used noise cancelling headphones - worth it for plane travel (I don't jog - the main time I use headphones is when traveling, or when doing weights at the gym, where my standard in-ear headphones seem to be fine).

  • Is this compatible with Android smartphones - I have a Samsung S8 please.

    • +1

      Don't think so. The title says iOS Lighting Port Only

      • Many thanks :-)

  • Nice find. Bought a pair for me and my missus (different colors as only 1 per customer).

        • +1

          Of this joke, you've made a meal.

  • Thanks! Won't use for gym. But others for NC.

    Thanks OP!

    • Why not for gym?

      • Personally not a fan of having wires while I sweat :p. I tried with my other ones just felt pretty annoyed having it on. So wireless will be better for me but next time. This one I am wearing for NC purpose to try out!

        • Oh fair enuff
