Great headphones for most users
I've always liked JBL and their products. These headphones are quite good, even great, not excellent.
Easy to connect via Bluetooth, and very straightforward. They are quick to switch devices when they've connected to two devices.
They have good comfort, but not great. The padding around the ears and on the top of the head are great. The actual muffs/speakers are angled slightly which, when sitting back in a recliner, causes them to slowly slide off.
The buttons are easily navigated. It's clear when the power is on and it has its own dedicated button--always a great feature. The play/pause button is easily identified by touch. The noise cancelling button is the farthest button forward, which makes it easy to find.
Each activity/event has its own tone/chime which allows the user to quickly learn and recognize what the headphones are doing--power on/off, connected to a device, noise cancellation on/off.
The sound quality is good overall. Crisp, clear sound. Their power is good and the volume can reach a level that is almost too much, which is always appreciated. Better to have more than you need, than not enough. The weakness is that the bass is a little lacking. A fuller bass would make these headphones complete and very top of the line.
The noise cancellation is okay. When activated, it seemingly increases the midtones and bass, which is unfortunate. Atmospheric, repetitive noise (like from a fan or an engine) is blocked out, not much else. A little disorientation can be experienced when the NC is turned on, but that might be just my sensitive ears.
Overall, a great product. A couple enhancements would make it excellent in a future model, but very good for most listeners.
