As an Apple user, I wanted great over the ear headphones with noise cancellation, but there was Absolutely No Way I was going to drop the fat stacks on the Apple ones. I started looking around and considering my options, originally deciding on some SRhythm off-brand ones here on Amazon. When I came back with the money to buy, the SRhythms were sold out so it was back to browsing. At this point, I decided it would be a better idea to go with a trusted brand that didn’t have the possibility of disappearing from Amazon within the next few years.
The ideal headphone, for me, was the Sony XM5s - after reading reviews it sounded absolutely godly. But it also costs godly amounts of dollars, which was the original problem I was trying to avoid.
Enter JBL, I realized the speaker brand that went from “a few of your buddies ride or die by this brand” to a sound-junkie staple was IDEAL. I shopped around, looked at similar Skullcandy models, other brands similar in price but also not offering anything better than passive noise cancellation.
The comparable Skullcandy model (price wise, at least) has worse battery life, primarily because it uses (imo) a ridiculous number of microphones for Active Noise Cancellation. At the time of my purchase, the Skullcandy model also costed slightly more which made even less sense.
I find the noise cancellation on these to be easily comparable to the AirPod Pros I have used before. Especially with music playing, I cannot hear a single thing outside of my little bubble. I’ve used these at work for two days straight without ever having to plug them in. They connect to my phone with ease and the buttons on the side are very useful. The audio quality is crystal clear, and I often use these in the car instead of my stereo. These things perform beautifully.
The JBL app is also a stroke of genius, allowing me all the customizability that Apple tries to prevent me from having with any non-Apple products. The different equalizer modes are absolutely killer too.
I only have two small gripes. For some reason, the lowest noise cancellation setting jacks up the outside microphone’s volume but completely mutes my music without pausing it. So I can hear if someone is talking to me, but there’s not even a hint of the song I was listening to. This is a little disappointing compared to the AirPods transparency mode.
The second one is that the ear cans on this thing are slightly too small for my ears, and I’m pretty sure I have relatively typical ear-size (elementary school kids would have made sure I knew if I had some Dumbo-sized ears yanno!). Wearing the headphones for hours at a time makes the cartilage on the side and top of my ear sore, and if they had like a millimeter or two more diameter that could be fixed.
All in all, I consider these to be five star worthy because it’s an excellent value for the price. I absolutely love these things, and I hope they will last me a good while. I will be back to update my review on their durability after having owned them for longer.
