Bullet-proof with Great Sound
I am tough on earphones, and these JBLs are survivors. I work outside as a gardener and rely on earphones to deliver audio books while I perform boring manual labor. That means that the earphones have to sound good over the noise of a lawnmower. They have to stay on while I dig, edge and weed. They have to withstand cold, heat, and general debris. The JBLs do all that, and more, with the universal remote.
I began my audio entertainment with Shures, (Shure SE115-PNK Sound Isolating Earphones with Dynamic Microspeaker II). They provided wonderful sound and clarity but broke every 3 or 4 months. I bought 6 sets over 5 years, not including the earphones that I returned under the two-year warranty. I figured that if Shure would keep sending me new parts and replacements, it didn't matter that they kept breaking. Of course, there was the inconvenience of returning them and filing claims . . .
Then, my son gave me some comparable Bose earphones (Bose IE2 Audio...
Fantastic headphones!
I'm very picky with headphones. Bass is usually the first thing I take note of. I look for that right 'balance' of bass; I don't like overwhelming muddy bass, but just enough to 'feel' the music, without being left with a headache after listening. JBL hit it spot on with these headphones. These beat out my Beats & Skullcandy headphones, hands-down. You get a crystal-clear listening experience, with just enough bass to leave you feeling satisfied after listening. I highly recommend these!
The build quality is also very impressive. The cord is flat, however, unlike many other headphones with flat cords I've tried, its very light-weight and you don't feel it pulling & tugging on you, or causing your headphones to fall out from the weight of the cord.

Still Waiting
First the bad: ordered a set before Xmas and figured that the universal pair would work with my iPhone and Android devices. WRONG - need the iPhone version for full functionality. I emailed JBL tech support to ask about them on 12/20 - now 26/01 and still waiting. You need to lift your game JBL! In the meantime I have returned them and re-ordered the Apple version, but of course they are out of stock and are now quoting Feb-May for delivery.
Now the good: I am a big fan of JBL equipment in general, and these headphones seem great for the couple of days I used them. I have a pair of Klipsch Image S4i Premiums which are OK, but very fussy with ear placement and Audio Technica ATH-CK7ASV titanium's which really punch. Considering that the JBLs did not have time for any "burn in" the sound quality while at first listen seemed softer with milder base response, improved after an hour or two and I started to appreciate the dynamic quality, separation and crisper tones they...
