I bought the JBL headset because I got very tired of the wire of my earphones.
JBL generally has a very good reputation when it comes to sound. With this product they certainly show that they live up to their name. The sound of this product is really great, but I have to admit that this especially applies to music that requires good bass.
The sound is very clear and the bass in the headphones is also really good. For your average house music etc these are definitely the perfect headphones.
I myself only listen to more rock music and in my opinion these headphones are not optimized for that. The sound is certainly not bad and I still think it is definitely worth the money I paid for it. But the sound of these headphones comes into its own with a dubstep track.
Continuing on the other points I mentioned:
The headphones are very comfortable, they are very light and sometimes you just forget they are on your head. I've had this thing on several times for a little too long. For me, too long is about 5 hours. I sometimes get irritations with my gaming headset, but that is not the case at all with these headphones. The only thing that bothers me are very warm ears, but that is certainly not wrong during these cold winter months.
The headphones are also foldable, which I was really looking for when I was looking for headphones. It saves a lot of space during transport and you feel it will be damaged a lot less quickly when you fold it up for transport.
I had already mentioned the sound, of course, I put this at the top because I think it is the most important aspect of headphones.
The price/quality is of course a debatable subject, for me as a student €87 is not nothing. I also thought carefully in advance whether I wanted to buy this product or not. In hindsight I'm very glad I did and you definitely get your money's worth. The sound of these headphones is super good and it also feels very good.
Finally, I want to talk about the battery life, it is very good. I'm really amazed at how long it lasts. I've had it for a month or 2 now and I've only charged it 3 times. And I certainly listen to a lot of music with this, on average about 2 hours a day.
The negatives:
The buttons on the headphones work well and are certainly handy. But I personally find them very small, especially now that I walk a lot with gloves because of the cold, it is really hard to find if I'm on the right button. I got used to this after a while, but I still keep looking. I would have liked the buttons to be a little bigger, or a little more spaced. This makes it a lot easier to operate the headphones.
The bluetooth problem I sometimes have is that it doesn't always connect to my phone right away. Of course, this problem could also be with my phone, which is certainly possible because I often have problems. I have a somewhat older Huawei phone. In general, I often hear noises about a less well-functioning bluetooth function on a Huawei phone. This really only happens on the older models. This sometimes ensures that it does not connect immediately and I also have a bit of a hiccup every now and then.
Since I don't know whether this problem is with the headphones or with my own phone, I'll leave this in the middle and I also want to say that your choice should not be influenced too much by this. Of course you always have the aux cable, it always works perfectly. And when you use this, the quality of your music is of course higher than when you stream it via Bluetooth.
Finally, I also want to report that when I call other people they do not hear me well, this is mainly when I am outside and there is wind. Of course not too crazy when there is wind that they will not hear me well, but also when there is a gentle breeze I am hard to understand. Which in my opinion can be very annoying, because then you have to switch from your headphones to your normal phone etc..
Within that it always works well, I may have to say that I have not yet called at a busy location or something like that. You might find something about that in other reviews.
Final verdict on this product would be an 8.7/10 for me.
I am very happy with it and I would definitely recommend this product to others.
