Review on JBL Bluetooth Headphone Blue E55BT by Jeff Leu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't buy these headphones if you intend to use a wired connection!

I bought these headphones in 2018 and have been using them wirelessly for a year with no problems. After moving the receiver closer to the table, I decided to use a cable instead of Bluetooth. The sound in the headphones is interrupted by the cable - the slightest movement of your head or twisting the cable from one end - and the sound disappears. I bought a new cable from Revain but the problem persisted so I bought another from the same JBL. They came today and the problem is the same - a wired connection to any device makes a useless noise. The material quality of the 2020 version is also significantly worse than the 2018 model - more fabric, more plastic, less leather, less metal. I am returning a 2020 model and want to return the 2018 models. These headphones deserve 0 stars.

Pros
  • Durable build
Cons
  • Legacy model
