Premium headsets stand out from the crowd for their looks, and often for their price. The use of high-quality materials and a catchy appearance prevails here. For those and other purposes, almost all manufacturers of such products have long had in their arsenal a couple of models of headsets for smartphones and other devices. Each of them wants to stand out and prove that their products are good enough to be noticed.
JBL is no longer a beginner in the development of such headsets and the new model J33A may well win the hearts and ears of its users. Let's take a closer look at this "miracle".
Equipment
Nothing out of the ordinary here. A simple cardboard box, on the front of which are our headphones in profile and front view. Having looked at them for the first time, the thought creeps in: are they too big for inserts? Yes, big ones, but more on that later.
Inside the box is a round carrying case, which hides a clip for fixing the wire and additional ear pads. The latter, by the way, surprised from different angles: as always, they are silicone and in three sizes, but they also come with foam. Why is it surprising? And because in them the sound is slightly modified, but more on that later.
Appearance and usability
As I said earlier, they are big. Not globally, but still more than any of its competitors.
Naturally, depending on the size of the ear pads used, their length also changes, but they still stick out from the ears like wine corks.
But this rather significant drawback softens their design a little. There are metal elements here and the connection of the cable to each ear is very interesting. It seems to pass through the metal border, forming a knot, probably for fixation. But there is no fixation, so we can conclude that this is just a design move.
The body is made of plastic, which is quite sturdy. Even if you drop them (no matter what surface) and step on them, no doubt, they will be nothing.
The use of this material makes the headphones feel heavy.
The wire is shaped like a noodle, which has proven itself excellent in tangle tests. About the middle, the cable has a splitter for two channels, which in turn has a small compression harness. It helps to slightly reduce the length of the cable branch so that it does not dangle in vain during walks or active workouts.
Traditionally for headsets, a call answer button is attached to the section of the cable leading to the left earpiece. There are no more keys here, so to adjust the volume, you have to go into your pocket for your phone. Like everyone else, in the music listening mode, one press stops the track, double switches to the next, and triple to the previous one. When you call - answer and end the conversation. The quality of the microphone is good, the interlocutor can even hear the sweat running down your opponent's forehead during negotiations.
And now one more disadvantage: the cable is too rigid for comfortable wearing. I will say right away - this headset is completely unsuitable for sports.
Let's say you connected it to your smartphone, pulled up the harness, hid the cable under your clothes so that it doesn't get in the way, and went to do an exercise for the press. At about the third to fourth pull, the wire will pull one of the earbuds from your ear. I managed to remove both channels from my ears at once, but then I did. This usually only happens when using silicone tips. Foams sit and hold perfectly, but they won't work for people with small ears.
The wire will turn into a bigger problem during cold weather, because then it generally becomes stone.
The clothespin is small in size and prone to quick breakage or loss. Many users in their reviews of these headphones have complained about it and I understand them perfectly. But she must be given her due, she still holds onto clothes perfectly.
Summarizing the above, we can conclude that JBL has bent a little in an impulse to make a comfortable headset. It is large and uncomfortable and sometimes irritates with constant falling out of the ears. But can these disadvantages be compensated for by sound? Let's figure it out.
Sound
At first glance, the sound can be described as monotonous. That is, it does not stand out in any way. The volume reserve is enough for him, the sound is dense and viscous, like clay. It is still tolerable to listen to heavy music on it, but for a lighter instrumental, like jazz or indie rock, it is not suitable. And not because the whole essence of the genre is not conveyed here, but because you know what and how it should sound, but you cannot hear it in these headphones.
It's not even worth talking about the stage, since it simply does not exist.
The sound resembles a tightly twisted rope, which loses a little when you start to play with the equalizer.
Of course, as with many headphones, the sound changes significantly when you turn on the equalizer and manually adjust it. But what about iPhone owners who have only presets instead of manual mode? The answer is simple: endure.
None of the presets were able to reveal a zest in the sound that is unique to each headphone.
Android users are more fortunate, since in third-party players (for example, PowerAmp) you can very finely adjust the sound and then the headphones open up in all their glory.
The manufacturer claims the Pure Bass function, which makes low frequencies airy. Yes, it is, but not always and not everywhere. This effect is perceptible only on Android (for the reasons outlined above) and only with the participation of foam nozzles. And then, it seems to me that this is more a marketing word than really technology. The bass still increased, but you still expect more from such loud foreign words.
Oddly enough, the direct sound is also influenced by which attachments you use. For example, in silicone bass, you feel noticeably less than in foam. However, the latter slightly suppress the high frequencies that are noticeable in silicone. This is rarely seen in headphones like this.
That is, for different genres, different attachments are needed.
As far as soundproofing is concerned, it's not all that bad. Again, foam ear pads will effectively drown out most ambient sounds, while simple ones will definitely be worse. But still, neither one nor the other will save you from a busy street full of loud trucks and humming cars. In the subway, you will have to turn up the volume a lot and many headphones are ill with this, you can't get away from this. Is that to get to the surface and not go down any more underground.
Perhaps, if we omit all the criticism that I have just poured out, then we can conclude that the headset does not sound phenomenal or standard, but no worse than some of its competitors. It seems to be on the level, but unlike the products of other companies, there is nothing here that could be distinguished. No ringing highs, no nuclear bass. Many Chinese noname-products will be able to give odds to our hero, while their cost will be 2 times less. But nobody canceled the trust in the brand.

Outcomes
In fact, the JBL J33a is a standard headset with a controversial design and simple, uncomplicated sound, which fulfills its purpose 100% - to play music and answer calls. Otherwise, these are large, strange and not all comfortable headphones, which, judging by the reviews, are very unlikely to live with you for more than a year. But all the same, how competently, from the correct angle, they are shown by the company in promo photos - bravo to marketers!
Buy JBK J33a it is possible now. Price the headset starts at 1150 rubles, but on average it is 1690 rubles. To be honest, they are not worth the money, because for the price half the price, it is very easy to find a headset with 2 heads better.
Already on sale Price from 1150 rubles.
In today's review, let's move away from the topic of choosing in-ear headphones and talk about headphones of a different form factor. Despite my dislike for overhead models, I have a rather positive attitude towards earbuds, and I think that this is the best option between hefty "mugs" and many unloved "plugs".
Specifications
Driver: 15.4mm dynamic driver
Frequency response: 15Hz-25KHz
Impedance: 32Ω
Sensitivity: 114dB
Cable length: 1.2m
Plug: 3.5mm
Box
The headphones are supplied in a branded box from the PenonAudio store.
Equipment
The set includes a case for storage and transportation, a lot of foam ear cushions, a clothespin for fixing the cable to clothes and the so-called earchuk.
Appearance
The headphones look pretty simple. The main part is made of metal, the inner part, on the side of the speaker, is made of plastic. The body has compensation holes and a dot indicating the right channel.
The cable is excellent for its price, it is silver-plated copper in a durable silicone sheath - soft, flexible and elastic. There is a slider for adjusting the length.
Ergonomics. Noise isolation
The earbuds are small and fit comfortably in the auricle. Noise isolation is very weak, which is typical for headphones of this form factor.
How do they sound
Music material
Already traditional musical material - two discs (Classic CD and Modern CD) contain musical compositions of various genres with track descriptions, a demo disc Dali Stereo Demonstration CD and Prime Test CD # 1. Test disk Dr. Chesky - The Ultimate Headphone Demonstration Disc.
And also, other records. All music compositions are in lossless formats.
Sound sources
Sound sources, portable audio players Aune M1s, Cayin N3, Fiio X3 II, ZiShan DSD and other portable players.
Sound
I am rather skeptical about such a phenomenon as "warming up". But I nevertheless listened to the recommendations of the seller, and before writing a review, I drove them on different musical material for a total of more than 200 hours. I listened to the headphones for several hours after unpacking, after which I connected them to the hospital and left to play. The sound really changed a little. The bass has become more contoured, excessive brightness at high frequencies has disappeared, they have become smoother. Therefore, I recommend giving the headphones a good play.
The bass for me, as not an ardent basshead, is just excellent. The lower bass lacks massiveness and density, but the midbass is very pleasing - fast, agile and resilient.
The mids are slightly underlined. The vocals sound great - lively and emotionally. Musical instruments have a natural and natural sound, clear separation and positioning on an imaginary stage. The virtual stage itself is clearly built both in width and depth.
The highs are clear, clean and detailed. After "warming up", a small excess brightness has completely disappeared. They are smoother and more enjoyable. Plates, bells, coins retain their gloss and shine, but there is no unpleasant chime or sand. In general, a very fatigue-free presentation, even with prolonged listening.
As for musical preferences, headphones are omnivorous and suitable for any genre, style and direction, from hard rock and metal to classical music. Vocal parts and opera singing sound especially great.
I will not compare BS1 with other, cheaper ones - TY Hi-Z HP, Colarad C01, VE Monk, etc., since for me personally they are a cut above the sound quality. In terms of price-to-sound ratio, the BS1 is closer to the higher price range headphones such as MrZ Tomahawk, VE Asura, Rose Masya.
You can buy BS1 in the PenonAudio online store or on the trading platform
Inexpensive and quite successful wireless headphones: bright design (if you don't take into account the black model), fabric instead of eco-leather, a full set of buttons, the ability to connect via Bluetooth and cable ...

Design, construction
First, some official information:
The line of E-Series headphones is especially popular in Russia: they are very bright, affordable, and fully correspond to the JBL brand in their sound character. Together with the addition, we are expanding the series with models in new colors and in an improved form factor - now everyone can find headphones for their mood and get excellent sound with maximum comfort, - says Evgeny Konov, CEO of HARMAN Russia.
That is, if you see JBL E-series headphones, then you should know that this is, first of all, a good price-quality ratio. Now let's take a look at a representative of the JBL E45BT range.
Headphones retail for about 5,000 rubles, which, naturally, leaves an imprint on the appearance - everything is very simple, although it cannot be said that it is tasteless. The model is offered in different colors, there are black, white, green options, in the official photos there is even blue and red.
I got a modification made of white plastic, instead of the boring eco-leather, the headband is trimmed with fabric, which is already good. Of course, the fabric can quickly change color during active use, but it all depends on the accuracy of the owner. The cups fold inward, so that the headphones can be carried in a jacket pocket, the rail is made of metal, the hinges are well made. On the outside of the headband there is a company logo, visible to others when the headphones are around the neck. The ear cushions are made of eco-leather, the speaker covers the fabric, there are large channel markings, that is, the letters R and L. The details of the cups are twisted with unusual screws, which you rarely see. There are no serious complaints about the assembly - you can say about the gaps near the buttons, about the too large light indicator, about the uneven joints at the bottom, but all this fades when you remember the price. In addition, the details are pleasing, the corrugation on the outer part of the earphone, large logos with good design, and the same fabric on the headband. The headphones are pleasant to hold in hand.
On the right cup - the power button, activation of the pairing mode, volume control buttons, playback. You can also answer the call by pressing the button on the cup. The headphones can work in wireless mode, but a cable connection is also provided, a 2.5 mm jack on the cup, it's strange why they chose this option, a 3.5 mm jack would also fit here. MicroUSB connector for charging on the left cup, any cable can be used, tested.
Wearing headphones is comfortable, but with reservations. Headphones are overhead, not "monitors", so you need to forget about passive noise cancellation. All sounds around are well audible. People with large ears of an unusual shape are unlikely to like the JBL E45BT, I strongly advise you to try it on before buying. In my case, everything was not bad, but there is a feeling as if from tight shoes - no matter how I tried, it did not work out to achieve comfort. Small ear cushions lose their shape too easily, but even if you shake your head, the JBL E45BT will not come off.
Working hours
The claimed operating time is about 16 hours, it takes two hours to charge. In ordinary life, the headphones work for about as long as stated, the gadget is very unpretentious and does not require daily charging - those who rarely listen to music will have enough charge for a long time. Let me remind you that if the headphones are down, you can connect the supplied cable, it has a button and a microphone - it works with the iPhone, I checked it. For the iPhone 7, of course, you need an adapter.
Sound quality
The range of work in the apartment is about 6-7 meters maximum, then interruptions begin, communication is lost. I tested the headphones with iPhone 7 Plus, there were no problems with connection, the name of the device in the Bluetooth menu is original, JBL E45BT. I listened to music from iTunes, in the VOX player, in SoundCloud, podcasts, in general - a variety of sources, everything is like in life. Despite the budget, the sound quality for Bluetooth headphones is not bad, you immediately notice metallic overtones in a number of tracks, a lack of detail, especially if you include classical compositions, but you can live with the JBL E45BT if you are condescending to troubles in terms of sound. Yes, you can take expensive headphones, and even connect AudioQuest to Lightning, and only FLAC, and digitize yourself - but surely there are more people who buy a JBL E45BT and will carry around every day, listen to music and be happy. In general, I advise you to do so if you are looking for an inexpensive device.
The quality of speech transmission was C grade, the interlocutors complained that they could not hear me very well, although I was talking in the silence of the apartment.
conclusions
As mentioned above, in retail, headphones cost about 5,000 rubles; in this form factor, the JBL E45BT has very few competitors for this money; primarily other JBL wireless devices. Sony has a model MDR-ZX220BT, I haven't tested it, I can't say anything, Creative has WP-350 headphones, not bad, with aptX support, you can also buy. The rest of the offers for this money are rather strange, JBL has a name, good packaging, and quite good characteristics. So, given the crisis, I will not find fault - JBL E45BT can be safely bought if you are looking for inexpensive wireless headphones for every day.
JBL E45BT- compact on-ear headphones with 40 mm drivers and a pleasant appearance! JBL - a division of Harman is known for a wide range of headphone line-ups: from simple earplugs to professional studio solutions. Before us is a representative of the second generation of the mid-price E-series. Unlike the budget T-series, there are no frank savings on details. Overpayment for redundant functionality and expensive materials is also imperceptible. Although, not without strange marketing restrictions, but first things first.
The fashion of abandoning 3.5 mm jacks in flagship smartphones makes you think about wireless technologies. It turns out that in 2017, the transition is unlikely to be inconvenient. Bluetooth technology has long been rid of childhood illnesses - it is convenient to use a wireless connection! With the advent of the fourth iteration, energy consumption has dropped to a minimum level - one might say imperceptibly. The audio transmission quality is also pleasing. The potential of the technology provides a sound comparable to wires in the mid-price segment, for sure. And a complete set of electronics in a case, selected by the company's engineers, taking into account the features of sound drivers, allows you not to think about whether your smartphone will swing the headphones or not. There is nothing to say about convenience: the absence of a wire gives a new degree of freedom and reliability of the structure - the case when you try and hardly refuse in the future. At the moment when the answer to the main questions is received, it remains only to choose a model.

Equipment
The headset comes in a cardboard box. The first thing a customer sees is a colorful wrapper with product images from all sorts of angles.
Below it is the main box of matte black color. The headphones are packaged presentably and are presented to the buyer immediately after opening the box. Be careful, the JBL E45BT was originally attached to the podium with twisted plastic wire. The packaging is well done. It's a pleasure to unpack the device!
Below the headphones, in a plastic envelope, the rest of the kit is hidden: an audio cable, a microUSB cable, a short manual and a warranty card. Unfortunately, there was no room for a carrying case and AC adapter. If the absence of the latter can be tolerated, every smartphone owner has a common accessory. Then the cover, albeit the simplest one, was worth putting. The headphones are portable, it is supposed to be carried in a bag, and not just around the neck.
Appearance and usability
The model is aimed at people with different tastes, therefore, a wide range of colors is offered. From classic black and white, to bright blue, red and understated turquoise. The materials used do not differ depending on the color.
In the Trashbox edition, there was a black version. The first impression is a simple appearance, no frills. At the same time, the design cannot be called rustic and, moreover, tasteless. A variety of materials are used in the decoration: glossy and matte plastic, metal, fabric and leatherette. Not obtrusive decorative elements are noticeable, which emphasize the model's belonging to the JBL line.
The cups are made of matte plastic. The outer part is decorated with textured ornaments. In the center is a large JBL logo. No paint, each letter is a separate element made of glossy plastic. It's worth noting that the cups rotate just over 90 degrees for a better fit.
The ear cushions also have a small degree of freedom in the plane perpendicular to the ear cups. The inner part is lined with leatherette. The quality of the material raises no objections, the seam is neat. The speaker is protected by a fabric with an embroidered channel designation. Each cup consists of two parts, which are twisted together with screws.
The headband appears to be based on a steel plate lined with soft material. The structure is sheathed with dense fabric - an unusual move, as a rule, manufacturers are limited to leatherette. At the same time, in a light version, the fabric will require careful handling. The logo is applied to the upper part, and glossy plastic inserts with the name of the product line are added at the base. The headband is adjustable, the moving parts are made of metal, no supporting plastic.
The main feature of the compact headphones is the ability to fold. JBL E45BT is no exception, the cups are compactly retracted into the headband. The final design does not take up much space in the bag, and will fit into a jacket pocket in winter. All folding elements are metal and look and feel secure.
Due to the many adjustments, the design is the most versatile. The fit on the head is soft, the headphones literally hug the head, the ears are not squeezed. There is no discomfort after prolonged use. Wireless headphones are heavier than wired counterparts, but the weight is pleasant, you get used to it quickly. It should be understood that open-type on-ear headphones do not isolate from the outside world in any way, a soft fit only aggravates the situation. The only gripe is the fabric covering of the headband. The material is quite slippery and fixes the structure on the head much worse than its competitors from leatherette. At the same time, the headphones are suitable for sports: running, active cycling is not a problem, the JBL E45BT does not fall off the head. Before buying, I recommend trying on headphones and looking for a comfortable position on your head in advance.
Governing bodies and functionality
Unlike traditional headphones, wireless models don't go without controls. JBL E45BT is no exception, everything you need is located on the right cup.Turns on the headset using a lever with a built-in status indicator. There are three modes in total: power on - solid white; the headset is connected to the device - lights up blue; pairing mode with a new device - blinking blue. A separate button with the Bluetooth logo is provided to enter the pairing mode. Two devices can be connected at the same time, switching between them is automatic, it works correctly.
There are three traditional buttons to control playback. The volume keys on the headset control the level of the connected device; situations with a separate level on the smartphone and headset do not arise. Long press switches the track. You can also accept and reject a call using the play / pause button. The built-in microphone is rather nominal. Even in a quiet room, the interlocutors complain about the barrel effect, any additional noise finally muffles the microphone, you have to constantly ask again.
Like other wireless devices, the hero of the review is equipped with a 610 mAh battery, which requires recharging, for which a microUSB port and an LED indicator on the left cup are provided. The claimed battery life of the JBL E45BT is 16 hours, charging takes approximately 2 hours. The figure is not unfounded - in the mode 3-4 hours a day at an average volume, the headphones live for about a week.
The earbuds transmit information about the current charge to the smartphone. If the level is not displayed, you can use the application. The headset also reports a low level with an audible notification and a blinking indicator. The indicator lights up red while charging. When the full level is reached, it goes out.
In addition to Bluetooth connection, it is possible to connect an AUX cable, for which a 2.5 mm jack is provided on the right cup. In this mode, the charge is not consumed. The electronics of the headset are disabled, therefore, neither the buttons nor the microphone work. The complete fabric-braided cable is equipped with a microphone and a single button. An unusual detail - a 45-degree plug, a practical solution.
Sound
For testing, we used OnePlus 3T with Oxygen 4.1.6 (Android 7.1.1) on board. Music files - Google Play Music, high quality is set in the settings.
The character of the sound of the headphones is average, there is no boomy bass, and highs also do not prevail. The JBL E45BT is not just another headphone designed to please the stereotype “more bass, better sound”. Here, everything is in moderation, the engineers managed to find the right balance.
It should be noted that complex compositions, saturated with instruments, suffer from a lack of detail. In the case of the OnePlus 3T, after connecting the cable, the situation does not change. I think that a smartphone with a dedicated audio chip and music in FLAC will fix the situation, but the JBL E45BT is not positioned as a Hi-Fi device. The headphones are designed for the mass consumer and fully match the capabilities of a regular smartphone paired with a streaming service or music downloaded to MP3.
Even at high volume, a margin of safety is felt, no wheezing or extraneous noise! The wireless connection is working correctly. When watching videos, the sound track is played without delay. The range of action allows you to move freely around the apartment, at least one concrete wall is able to signal the signal.
The disadvantage is the lack of a companion application. The company has My JBL Headphones in its arsenal, but the program only supports the flagship Everest line. I think that the restriction is strictly marketing, inexpensive headphones are not supposed to be able to customize the sound. Fortunately, the JBL E45BTs are configured well out of the box, and those who wish can only master third-party tools. The same ViperFX, which not so long ago, will cope with the task.
Let's sum up
JBL E45BT- a versatile choice for those looking for compact wireless headphones for every day. The company has managed to create an attractive model that looks good and sounds decent. High-quality assembly and foldable design complete the picture, the headphones are reliable and easy to use!Pros:
- Foldable design.
- Balanced sound.
- Attractive design.
- High-quality performance.
- Ability to connect two devices at the same time.
- 2.5mm Jack for cable connection.
- Poor sensitivity of the built-in microphone.
- Heavier than wired counterparts;
- No shipping cover included;
- Lack of companion app.
The American company JBL was founded in 1946. It is easy to guess that during its existence a huge amount of experience and patents have been accumulated. As a result, many devices under the aforementioned brand provide excellent sound and wide functionality. Our selection will help to make sure of this - if they complain about the headphones contained in it, it is definitely not because of the sound quality.

JBL E15: curved jack headphones
Outwardly, these headphones look quite simple. Attention is drawn only to the 3.5 mm "mini-jack" located at the end of the cable. It is slightly curved - this does not make it truly L-shaped, but it can no longer be called straight. It should also be noted that the JBL E15 is a headset. In this regard, a small remote control with a microphone will dangle under your right ear.
The creators have tried to seriously reduce the resistance. As a result, the headphones sound very loud even when connected to a weak smartphone. The sound quality cannot be called very high, but the headset is also very inexpensive - this, by the way, is not typical for an American brand. The cable here has a fabric braid, which prevents it from getting seriously tangled in your pocket. And the manufacturer has provided his creation with a simple case.
Advantages:
- Low impedance;
- There is a microphone;
- You can answer the call;
- Large membranes inside (8.6 mm);
- Reliable cable with a fabric braid;
- Adequate cost.
Flaws:
- No volume buttons
- Average quality sound;
- The microphone has poor sensitivity.

JBL T110: flat cable and several colors
This headset is different in that it uses a flat cable. Such a wire, in principle, cannot get entangled in a knot. But because of it, the design of the headphones turned out to be somewhat cumbersome - some people do not like to carry such a headset in their pocket. It should also be noted that there are several color options for the accessory - the version with a blue cable looks the most interesting.
A tiny remote control can be found on the headphones. For some unknown reason, there is only one button on it - it allows you to start and end a conversation, as well as pause playback and go to the next track. You will have to adjust the volume using the smartphone itself.
First of all, headphones are designed to connect to mobile devices. This is evidenced by the low impedance. And the sound quality here can be called average at the time - you should connect some JBL on-ear headphones to good audio equipment, which are also considered in our today's selection.
Advantages:
- The cable is tangle-free and very reliable;
- The sensitivity reaches 100 dB;
- Resistance does not exceed 16 ohms;
- There is a microphone;
- There is a button for receiving a call;
- Very low price tag.
Flaws:
- Average sound quality;
- There are no volume control buttons;
- The headphones cannot be called durable.

JBL E25BT: Headphones with a short cord
Many modern wireless headsets are equipped with a neck strap or some other accessory. But JBL E25BT has only a short lace, in the middle of which there is a small insert with the manufacturer's logo. The whole thing can be painted in one of at least four colors. A remote control will be located under the user's right ear, allowing you to answer a call and change the volume level.
The American company approached the creation of the headset wisely. It made it moderately light, and the minimum resistance ensured a high sound volume - in this respect, the product does not differ from traditional JBL wired plugs. Communication with a smartphone is carried out here via Bluetooth 4.1.
Unfortunately, there is no support for the aptX profile, but the headset sounds pretty good even without it. A full charge is enough for about 8 hours of music playback. In short, this is a great option if you want to try wireless headphones for the first time!
Advantages:
- Comfortable fit;
- Weight does not exceed 16.5 g;
- The volume should suit everyone;
- The Bluetooth 4.1 standard is used;
- Several color options;
- The price tag cannot be called cosmic;
- There is a microphone and volume control;
- The set includes a cover.
Flaws:
- The neck lace will seem too small to some;
- The microphone has an extremely low sensitivity.

JBL Reflect Mini BT: water resistant headset
If you regularly use your headphones outdoors, then you need a waterproof model. For example, JBL Reflect Mini BT can be used even in the pool or in the bathroom - this allows you to make the appropriate protection class. Because of this, the headset turned out to be weighty. But most buyers don't notice it at all! Another advantage of headphones is their sound quality. It cannot be called ideal, but many music lovers are quite satisfied with it.
Otherwise, this is a typical wireless headset with a neck cord. A full charge is enough for about 8-10 hours of sound. The recharging process takes about two hours. Some user dissatisfaction can only be caused by the LED - it constantly blinks, letting everyone around you understand that you have not ordinary headphones hanging around your neck, but something a little more expensive.
Advantages:
- Reliable construction;
- There is a microphone;
- It is possible to adjust the volume and answer calls;
- Good fit;
- Several color options;
- There is moisture protection.
Flaws:
- Low battery virtual voice can be annoying;
- A bright and constantly blinking LED can get in the way;
- There is no cover included.

JBL Synchros E30: budget overhead headset
If you do not want to spend a lot of money on the purchase of headphones, then take a look at the JBL Synchros E30. This product belongs to the overhead type. At the same time, there is a microphone that works stably even when the headset is connected to the iPhone. The device folds easily into a small carrying case. By this, the creators want to say that their creation regularly needs to be taken with you somewhere on the road. Simplifies transport and detachable cable.
And how can this headset disappoint? Perhaps only 30 mm membranes. Their size imposes some restrictions on the volume and clarity of sound. However, this will be enough for the owners of smartphones, tablets and laptops. Only the owners of professional audio equipment will be dissatisfied. But the JBL Synchros E30 headphones were clearly not created for them - at least their budget cost testifies to this.
Advantages:
- The headphones include a microphone;
- The cable is detachable;
- Several color options for the body;
- The wire is of decent thickness;
- Not the biggest weight.
Flaws:
- Reliability cannot be called high;
- High resistance;
- Sound quality is average.

JBL J88i: specially for iPhone fans
