Pros
  • Bought for 5600. along with delivery in Hong Kong in the store, which is also here on the amazon. Pros of headphones: 1. Great sound, but it must be corrected with an equalizer! Otherwise, out of the box, the headphones sound as if the equalizer is set to all average values ​​and the sound is quite flat. But after equalization, deep, clear bass and excellent highs appear, with the middle at the headphones and in the middle position, everything is fine. The difference between the quality of Flac from YouTube or Mp3 can be heard in them. 2. TalkThru and Ambient Aware functions work correctly. Surely they will come in handy so as not to take off the headphones when talking or not to get hit by a car on the street. 3. The bluetooth range corresponds to the declared one, calmly breaks through the panel wall into the next room without signal loss or interference. 4. Quick connection and switching between devices - laptop, phone. 5. Even despite the fact that they do not have the newfangled Aptx, LDAC or APTX HD sound via bluetooth at a decent level. In a direct comparison of bluetooth versus sound via cable, I noticed the following - when bluetooth is connected, the volume disappears in the bass, the tops become a little more sandy and less sonorous. But when listening on the street, in transport, etc. - you will not pay attention to it. Therefore, I think the sound via bluetooth is at a decent level. 6. Reliable construction. The ears are foldable, spinning, so they are convenient to carry, both in a bag and around the neck. 7. My ears and head do not get tired from prolonged listening. When running, push-ups, the headphones do not fall off, they sit perfectly. 8. Compared with KZ AS06 reinforcing headphones, these JBLs are not inferior, but only with the correct equalizer setting. 9. The battery has not been tested for the duration of work. 10. Soundproofing, although passive, is at a good level. Of course, it's worse than on ear plugs, but thanks to this, you can not get under a car and hear a signal, especially with Ambient Aware turned on.
Cons
  • 1. A 2.5 mm wired headphone jack in the ears themselves and the only cable (2.5 mm <-> 3.5 mm) that I could find on the Internet, including the well-known Chinese marketplace, is a Vention cable . There are no other options, only use adapters. Moreover, there is no microphone in the Vention cable, which means that the headphones are unlikely to work with this cable as a headset. Therefore, it is worth saving your native cable. 2. Stupid JBL smartphone app, which could have been better worked out, after all, it’s not for this particular model, but for all their headphones. You can select only 4 ready-made equalizer presets in it, and it also connects crookedly with your ears, does not always allow you to connect and always requires you to turn on and enable geolocation, otherwise you just won’t connect your headphones. There is zero point in this app. The headphone charge can be viewed on the phone in a bluetooth connection, and it is better to adjust the equalizer manually in the player, besides, if you connect the headphones via a wire to the phone, the application does not work, it is only for bluetooth. 3. This is more likely not a minus, but a nuance - not the most convenient control on the headphones themselves, but you can get used to it, it's a matter of time.
