JBL E50BT Black Premium Wireless Over-Ear Bluetooth Stereo Headphone, Black

BT Headphone with pleasant sound and insane battery life
JBL Synchros E50BT Bluetooth Headphone is an over-ear bluetooth headphone with 50mm drivers and battery that lasts forever. JBL has introduced this line of Synchros to bring high quality products and I can tell that it’s built very well with good sound quality too. I’m a fan of being wireless and that usually comes with sacrificing battery life, but this lasts a whopping 18 hours. I’ve been using it in a louder places, and it played music for me without a hiccup for literally many weeks. Its battery life is amazing for the powerful sound it’s able to produce.

The contents are simple – headphone, manual (forgot to take it out of the box), warranty card, and auxiliary cables for passive listening and charging via USB. Everything came out of the box so easily and I’m a fan of that. I personally think the headband could’ve been slightly longer to enhance comfort for users like me. I’m about 6" 1' tall and I don’t think I...

Stylish good looks can only carry it so far...
So after a prolonged delay (due to mail forwarding), I finally got the E50BT's yesterday. Here are my initial impressions and only based on what I'm actually able to test (e.g. I'm not going to be able to provide feedback on ShareMe since I don't have another headset with that feature) using my iPod touch 5G as source and most listening material @ 320k (only listened via passive briefly so my comments are focused on BT connection):

PROS
- Stylish good looks (subjective)
- Nice solid construction although not on par with S400BT as that actually featured metal yokes to hold the cups whereas this is all plastic with the exception of the bolts for each hinge
- One-touch instant on (this can also be a con since it can potentially be easily turned on during transport since no case is included) with quick connection to last device used
- Large dial on left cup with buttons arranged in N,S,E,W pattern. Interface is pretty intuitive and easy to use once you...

Would've liked to really like them but JBL disappointed this time....
I'm a fan of JBL products, I've used their professional stage monitors/ loudspeakers for DJ/ live use, and I own the JBL Flip JBL Flip 2 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with Powerbank Built-In Mic (Black) and JBL Micro speakers bluetooth portable speakers. That being said I just can't honestly say I think the JBL E50BT's are worth the current price I paid for them. Do they sound pretty good? Yes, but with a bluetooth connection they don't sound anywhere near as good my pair of Sony MDR Sony MDR-V55/BR DJ Style Headphones headphones or Audio Technica ATH 40x Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones headphones. Is this comparison a little unfair considering those are supposed to be "studio" quality headphones? Maybe, but I mostly bought these...
