Overview
Dynamic drivers inside soft ear cushions give these on-ear headphones the bass-forward tuning JBL calls Pure Bass. A flat cable carries a one-button remote and microphone, and the padded headband folds for a bag.
The reason to look at this set is the easy plug-and-go routine: a remote for calls and voice assistants, a flat cable that resists tangles and a folding frame. The limit is that it is wired and not water resistant, so it suits desks and commutes more than workouts.
Who it's for
Adults, teens and seniors who listen on a phone or laptop with a headphone jack get a simple plug-in set. Wireless fans, gym users and travelers who want noise control should look at a different type.
Pros and cons
- Remote and microphone on the cable
- Flat cable resists tangling
- Folds for carrying
- Soft cushions and padded headband
- Wired only, tied to the source
- No noise control
- Not water resistant
- Remote described for cellphones only
Performance notes
The dynamic drivers and the cushions resting on the ear shape the low end, and the listing gives no noise control. The one-button remote handles calls and can start a voice assistant, but it needs a headphone jack on the source, since the plug is a standard analog connector.
