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.
 

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.

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

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.

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.
 

First, ensure that you have the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa apps installed on your device, depending on the voice assistant you want to use. Go to your app store to download the intended voice assistant app, then add your headphones as a device in the app if necessary. Finally, enable the intended voice assistant in the settings of the My JBL Headphones app and assign which earbud you want to use to control it. The voice assistant app must be open for it to work correctly. It can be opened from within the My JBL Headphones app by tapping the name of the required voice assistant after you have selected it for use and assigned a gesture to one of your earbuds to control it.

Visit the App Store and download the ‘Amazon Alexa’ App.

 

1. Click the Plus(+) button on the top right of the screen.
2. Then select ‘Add Device‘.
3. Select headphones from the list and then choose your Headphones from the list of available devices.

2. Select the headphones you are connected too.
3. Go to Settings by clicking the symbol in the top right corner.
4. Select Voice Assistant.

Your headphones may restart after switching Voice Assistant.

• 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.

Some of the DJ EQ curves have been removed from the My JBL Headphones app. Harman will ‘continuously’ update the My JBL Headphones app with new DJ sound-curves as this number changes based on who we sign agreements with and when.

See the release notes for app version 4.10.9 below:
- Adding support for TOUR PRO+ TWS and TOUR ONE Global version
- Removing expired DJ’s signatures

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.

You will likely find the resolution there. You may have to set your headphones as the ‘communication device’ within the app you are using.
