JBL Headphone (not good) [Posted on 2008-04-07]
I found that the quality of this headphone to be worse than the set that came with my ipod. In order to get quality bass it had to be inserted far into the ear, and during physical activity (working out at the gym) it constantly became dislodged, causing the sound to be very tinny.
Gotta be the best for the price [Posted on 2008-04-20]
These earbuds have extremely good sound quality for the 30 bucks that they cost. As for the people that say that they have too much bass...change the Eq on your music device. For the people that say that they dont have enough bass, use a different ear insert, and put it into your ear further. Believe me, if you adjust these to your ear the right way and have it in your ear the right way, the sound quality is simply amazing. There is only a couple complaints and I dont know if its the earbuds or my ipod on this, but the sound quality drops slightly when you listen at lower volume, but hardly at all, just slightly less defined bass. The other thing is the cord noise. This is partially because of the type of earbud it is, in ear, it transfers a lot of movement noise to your ear, and the only solution is to just turn up the volume a bit. Other than those two small things, these earbuds are really great.
Amazing job JBL.
The Best Headphone So Far [Posted on 2008-04-26]
I've been a avid headphone user for some time now. Let me start off by saying that most headphone that comes bundled with mp3 players are earbuds that are only adequate for casual listening. When upgrading headphones, price/performance/style all comes into play. These JBL are in-ear-headphones. What that means is it has great sound isolation so music will sound clear even when you're in a noisy environment, and you don't have to turn on your music as loud. The downside is it inherently has the audible "thump" when you bump the cord. That is a characteristic of all in-ear-headphones so giving it negative points for that shows a lack of knowledge of the user. These type of headphones also require that you use the correct fitting earpiece that gives it a tight seal in order to feel and hear the full spectrum of sound.
Ok now for comparison with other headphones: Compared to UE super fi.3 these JBL has better bass reponse and sound just as clear for only half the price. Compared to the Skullcandy Ink'd the JBL sound clearer with tighter bass. The bass in the Ink'd is good but seem muddy. Can't expect much as the Ink'd only go for around $10. Compared to the JVC Marshmallows, the JBL again sound clearer eventhough the bass is comparable. Build quality of the JBL is also better than Ink'd and Marshmallows but not as good as the UE. The looks when they're being worn is better than all of them as they have a low profile look with nice chorme accents.
My recommendation is, if you've accepted the trade-off of in-ear-headphones, to get these JBL as an upgrade to your bundled headphones until you've got enough money to buy headphones costing more than $100 as you won't find anything better in this price range. I will compare these JBL to Shure E2c when I can get my hands on a pair. I have quite a few other headphones but since they're not in-ear, I prefer not to compare with them as it's really more about what kind of environment you're in and the ease of putting them on.
