Review on JBL Premium Headphones Universal Remote by Morgan Arnold

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They sound good but not perfect

In general I am very happy with these headphones. When new the cord had a tendency to curl, but after a few weeks of use it straightened out and is now usually pretty straight and tangled! I have a few complaints about them, but all minor. First, I tried all three sizes of earbuds, and none of them resulted in the phones snugly fitting in my ear. I've gone back to the average size that was set when I unboxed it. Another complaint would be the sound quality. Despite being fairly neutrally balanced, the mids and highs get a bit brittle and harsh. They make warm voices or instruments sound hard and flat. Also, the bass suddenly seems to disappear as frequencies shift down, but then a ton of bass reappears way down, and it's a bit boomy there too. Overall it's still a fairly balanced sound, but recordings with lots of highs make it immediately clear that the top end lacks smoothness and finesse. Emphasized deep tones are only noticeable in bass tracks, on average they are not noticeable. For the price I am very happy with the purchase. But for people who are more critical of the sound, I'd look elsewhere. I bought them as a cheaper set for school and outings and I'm very happy for that purpose!

Pros
