JBL Club 950NC

This headphone is supported by the My JBL Headphones App.

For the Club 950NC and 700BT, a dedicated button on the right ear-cup (*) for Bass Boost – gives the user the option to give an extra boost to their listening experience. Power surges from equipment (such as a panel/mixer) which would blow out a standard headphone could be experienced while playing at high power. Specially designed driver coil and magnet give a higher resistance to power surges. The maximum input power for CLUB 700BT is 1000 mW, for CLUB 950NC is 2000 mW and CLUB ONE is 3500 mW accordingly.

 

• Always have clear line of sight between your Bluetooth device (speaker, headphones etc.) and source device (Smartphone/tablet/PC etc). Be aware of obstacles in front of your devices.

• Try to shutdown other products that have Bluetooth, but are not being used. They are often the reason for interference even though they are not being used.

• Do not stand too close to your Wi-Fi router since a Wi-Fi signal is stronger and in many cases will "overlap" the connection.

• Be aware of walls around you. Concrete and brick walls will often interrupt the signal, as it cannot pass through such thick walls.

• Bluetooth signals cannot travel through water, which includes the human body. Make sure with wireless headphones to keep your source device and the receiver on the same side of your body.

• Open spaces such as parks can cause issues for your devices, as open air is "bad" for any Bluetooth signal if it cannot reflect from objects around you.

In most cases when a Computer/PC/Laptop has issues connecting to a Bluetooth device (Portable speaker, Headphones, Active speakers), it's caused by your Computer/PC/Laptop's Bluetooth driver (software).

The driver (software) should support the following Bluetooth protocols, to be able to play music/sound from your Computer/PC/Laptop:

• A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) driver for your Computer/PC/Headphones to transfer music.

Always get the latest driver version available for your Computer/PC/Laptop.

To download the correct driver (software), visit the manufacturer's website of your Computer/PC/Laptop. They usually have a "Support/Download" section where you can find the correct driver. Otherwise, we advise you to contact their support.

Besides Legendary JBL Pro Sound and hi-res audio support available in the whole series; however, the JBL CLUB ONE headphone is equipped with 40mm Graphene orange drivers. Compensating the loss between the original signal and what you hear, the driver provides a fuller, more organic sound experience. On all models, you can adjust the audio reproduction to your preferences with the equalizer in the My JBL Headphones app.
 

With the headphones switched ON, press and hold the Volume + and Volume - buttons for more than 5 seconds. The LED blinks two colors, and now you have reset to factory settings.

The True Adaptive Noise Cancelling technology that is features in our CLUB ONE automatically adjusts noise-cancelling levels in real-time, 50,000 times per second to account for environmental ambient noises and personal attributes such as movement, hair and eyeglasses to deliver best-in-class Noise Cancelling and immersive sound in any environment.  
With the help of Feedforward and Feed Backward microphones, the Adaptive Noise Cancelling technology which is a feature in our CLUB 950NC and CLUB PRO+ TWS, fully monitors exterior sounds picking up low-frequencies and neutralizing them before they reach the ear. The headphones generate a sound that's phase-inverted by 180 degrees to the unwanted noise, resulting in the two sounds cancelling each other out. 
In addition, all headphones allow the listener to adapt or adjust the level of ambient noise through features like Ambient Aware and TalkThru.

JBL Club headphones do not support aptX. There are a number of different platforms available and our choice was driven by the one that provides the combination of best sound quality and user experience. The platform that we have selected perfectly fits the requirements of the JBL Club series including voice integration and audio customization whilst supplying the Hi Res-certified headphones with the quality of audio they deserve.

With TalkThru Technology, music is lowered and speech is amplified so you can easily have quick chats. AmbientAware delivers a more immersive music experience while increasing ambient sounds, providing the safety of hearing your surroundings. You can control them via the buttons on the ear cup and with the My JBL Headphones app

The right ear cup features volume and (longer press) skip back/forward button, Aux input and USB charging port. On the left side ear cup the CLUB headphones feature the standby button, Bluetooth button and the Smart Ambient button (for Ambient Aware and TalkThru) or, with a longer, the ANC button. JBL has also placed an aux port on the left ear.
 

A dedicated bass boost button located on the RIGHT ear cup on the CLUB 950NC & 700BT increases low-end frequencies of 5-6 dB adding a kick to your favorite tracks.
