LifestyleWhether you’re gaming deep into the night, zoning out on your daily commute, or vibing to your favourite playlist, you deserve sound that hits differently. That’s where JBL delivers. With over 75 years of experience powering concert halls, studios, and cinemas worldwide, JBL has perfected the art of immersive sound, the kind you don’t just hear, but feel.
JBL’s legacy isn’t just about sound, it’s about connection. Whether that’s feeling the bass thump through your bones or hearing a teammate’s whisper mid-battle, JBL’s headsets are engineered to make those moments more vivid and alive. And in a world where everyone’s listening on the go, that kind of performance isn’t optional — it’s essential.
In this guide, we’ll break down the best headsets from JBL, covering everything from pro-level gaming gear to all-day comfort headphones, and help you find the best JBL headset for your lifestyle.
When it comes to finding the best headset, not all sound is created equal. JBL’s long-standing expertise in professional audio has shaped headsets that deliver precision, comfort, and innovation in every note. Here’s what defines the best in the game:
At the heart of every great headset lies great sound, and JBL has spent decades perfecting it. Our Signature Sound and Pure Bass technologies bring a concert-grade experience straight to your ears. Whether you’re locked into a gaming battle or unwinding with acoustic tracks, every note feels crisp, spacious, and dynamic.
Unlike brands that push volume over quality, we focus on tonal balance, with deep bass that doesn’t drown out the mids and sparkling highs that don’t pierce. It’s the result of years spent fine-tuning speakers for studios and stadiums, now shrunk into a headset that fits in your backpack.
You shouldn’t have to choose between great sound and comfort. JBL’s ergonomic designs feature lightweight builds, padded earcups, and flexible headbands that adapt to your head’s natural shape. Whether it’s an eight-hour gaming marathon or a red-eye flight from Sydney to LA, our headphones and headsets stay snug without pressure.
Durability also matters. JBL ensures every headset can handle every lifestyle, whether you’re commuting on the Melbourne tram, hiking on weekends, or lounging poolside with your playlist.
JBL’s Adaptive Noise Cancelling (ANC) uses precision microphones to block out background noise in real time, so you hear your music or gameplay exactly as intended. Need to tune back into the world? Tap into Smart Ambient Mode to let in surrounding sounds, like airport announcements or friendly chatter.
Some models also feature VoiceAware for clearer communication during calls, and spatial sound for realistic 3D audio in games and movies. It’s smart sound designed for real life.
Wireless freedom is only as good as your connection. JBL’s latest headsets use Bluetooth 5.3 for faster pairing, lower latency, and rock-solid signal strength. Most models also support multipoint connectivity, so you can switch between your laptop and phone seamlessly — no fumbling with settings mid-song.
And when it comes to endurance? JBL sets the bar high. Expect between 26 and 65 hours of playback on a single charge, plus fast charging that could give you hours of playtime from just a 10-minute top-up.
After testing and comparing user favourites, here are the JBL headsets dominating 2025. Each one combines JBL’s acoustic engineering with real-world comfort and smart design. So whatever your lifestyle, there’s a perfect match waiting.
