Review on Jabra Move Wireless Stereo Headphones - Blue: Immerse in High-Quality Audio on the Go! by Todd Look

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money

First of all I like the sound! I'm an audiophile at heart, but in real life I'm now an audiophile with a BUDGET! These are my first bluetooth speakers. More on that in a minute. I was looking for on-ear Bluetooth speakers in the $50-$60 budget and was determined to wait for the JBL EB45T to go on sale, but then I saw that they were recommended on the Wirecutter website ( a pretty good review site). In my opinion) There is nothing bad in them, but there is also nothing good in them. They have a pleasantly neutral sound that you can listen to for a long time. They are great for movies and YouTube on my computer. But there's nothing in the sound that might surprise you. Believe me, if there was really something wrong with the sound, I would tell you. You can listen to them for a long time without getting tired of listening. If you're looking for plenty of movie excitement, these phones might not be for you. But if your movie listening needs are more modest, then they do well for that. For occasional background music, podcasts, audio books, they're great for that. The insulation is not very good. I think the plastic is thin so some noise gets in. I wanted to be able to hear background noise around the house, but that's pushing the limits of how much I want to hear. Even though they were open, my Sennheiser HD-229 provided better isolation due to the ear pad design. Comfort isn't bad, and the ear cushion size is almost spot on for my ears. I wish the earbuds swiveled a little more, but they do for my head. . They have left and right sides, and the cups rotate so little that you'll notice if you place them upside down. Bluetooth. It's a pain in the back of Win 7. If I want to use them, I have to delete the previous connection, reconnect them, and then go to the control panel and set them up for output. With movies on a computer, they are out of sync. I even set my video player (Pot Player which I highly recommend) to use bluetooth headphones but they still don't sync with audio. I don't know if it's a player, a Bluetooth USB dongle, Windows 7 or a combination of both. I like that they can be used both wired and Bluetooth. The controls are a bit small as others have mentioned, but I have no issues with them. I also tried the JBL EB45T Bluetooth headphones, which cost almost twice as much and sound better overall. JBL might have had better highs, a bit more punchy bass, but it's more cohesive across the frequency range and nothing has been changed to make it sound "better". Summary: I don't have any other Bluetooth headphones to compare them to, but I think most people would be very happy with them at this price point for general use. However if you are looking for audiophiles on a budget then this is not the place.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
