Be careful I lost those headphones due to the plug

They didn't last long I use them then they broke the plug. So very fragile. I brought them at fye in park city mall in Lancaster Pennsylvania.

Ear cushions began to peal.

Audio quality was good for price point. My issue was only a few months after casual use the ear cushions began to peal the pleather top layer. I eventually got tired of that and disposed of them since I could not find replacements.

Különleges Ajánlatok

Good sound and quality. I have wireless JBL Headphone, too, and these produce the same sound quality. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and the cord is not cumbersome.

Not working after 4 months

Bought the headset in September, now music comes out only of one side. Expected them to last a bit longer honestly.

pretty good...

These are really nice on-ear phones. On the plus side they have good sound, light weight, durability. What was that about the flat cord not tangling? Ha. No. Its like the cord wants to tie itself in knots. After months of use it still does not lay flat.

Great headphones

Bought the white ones around a month ago for my eldest daughter (10yrs) as a replacement for some below standard ones. Definately worth the upgrade. The sound alone is brilliant, on line controls work well, they are very comfortable (according to the daughter) and look brilliant. Very happy with them and have a happy daughter so all good :)

Good sound, short cord

For an inexpensive headphone these sound pretty balanced. Less impressed with the inline remote which does little since it cannot adjust volume. Personally, I could have used a bit more cable length too.

Perfect!

I bought these headphones after seeing a segment on the TODAY show. They arrived relatively quickly and were just what I was looking for. Great bass, noise cancelling and all at a discounted price. Love them!

Great headphones

Great sound, great price. The only downfall is the foam that easily falls off in my son's backpack. They constantly have to re-fit them onto the headset. I'm going to have to purchase a case in order to avoid that.

It was 8Euro used

I bought it as refurbished and the connector was a problem, thats not an issue but the right side of the headphone is weaker coz the cable resistance is not got higher.

I am surprised!

I received these as a gift. Coming from using AirPod Pros on a daily basis I'm not normally a fan of corded headphones. With that said. Even if I paid the MSRP. I am very pleased with the sound quality. I was personally surprised from such an affordable set of headphones.

The mic is not working

I bought this at the store (Marshalls) and after 3 months the microphone is not working.. and now my son can't use them on the zoom classes. He can use to listen music but they are not working to talk by the microphone. Any advice or I can returned them to JBL. Thanks

Ok for price

These are perfectly fine for on the go, especially for the price. The sound quality isn't great but I'm not super into music, i just use them for walking and commuting but they do the job.
