Review on JBL E65BTNC Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black: Enhance Your Lifestyle by Darryl Duncan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor build quality of the hinge - otherwise a good product.

I really like these headphones, but they have one rather glaring disadvantage: the hinge mechanism is weak, it is held by a depressed pin, which fell out of the hinge after about a month of use. I replaced the pin with a wire so they still work, but that's a design issue that shouldn't happen at this price point. Electronically, the headphones connect to my phone with ease, the noise-cancellation works as advertised, and they sound good (and I'm picky about the sound). These headphones look beautiful and when taken apart they are comfortable. They're not the lightest, but they seem durable. (Next to the hinge.) Two stars for build quality. I recommend checking out recent JBL products - it looks like their engineering team has improved the hinge since this version was released.

Pros
  • It brings joy
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
