Good headphones but not JBL quality

I definitely feel like they cost more than they are worth. I knew I underestimated the ones I had, but I'm a little disappointed. I used to have a couple of LG JBL tones, had them for 3 years before battery life became an issue, but they still work. a more convenient design that is simply a wire connecting two earbuds, as opposed to the structured horseshoe shape. I've never been so disappointed in an inanimate object in my life because the noise cancellation is so darn good, which is why I only ever keep one earbud. If someone prefers to keep the phone away because of the volume of their voice, for environmental reasons, or just to be polite, that's a problem. There are no clips, so whichever earbud you have hanging is heavy enough to weigh down the cord and pull the entire other earbud out of your ear. For starters, the buds no longer hold up very well, even with those odd bits meant to hook into the conch of your ear. I can't fix my shirt or my hair without the whole set falling out with the biggest bumps in my tiny ears. The rubber pads are too soft to stay in place. I've been quite obsessed with JBL and the sound quality since I got my first portable speaker 10 years ago, but the quality of the music and calls for this BLACK compare to anything I've had before from the JBL brand. The call quality sucks, I won't lie. The audio is very muffled at both ends so I don't really like the mic either, I can hear more in the background of a phone call than the voice of the person I'm talking to and I can also hear myself which is confusing well , if something is loud in the background of a phone call, the feedback is strong. The music just doesn't have the heart wrenching bass they're known for. Despite that, it's still good, still better than cheap headphones. Battery life is as advertised but I LOVE that it only took 15 minutes to fully charge from zero. Everyone else took 30 minutes to an hour, which was amazing to me. Overall they are not a total loss. If the headphones fit you correctly and you use both, you have decent lightweight music quality headphones that still drown out, that drown out the whole world and charge up in no time.

Pros
  • Ergonomic ear pads
Cons
  • I don't really like anything it's ok
