Works great with iPod, iPhone & Fire TV
This is a review of JBL E40BT Bluetooth earphones. Let me start by saying that I’d love the opportunity to try a set of Bluetooth earphones that cost several hundred dollars, but I’m retired and living on a small pension and social security, and I don’t think there’s a benevolent millionaire out there that would like to donate a set to this old timer. So I won’t try to compare the E40BT’s to those “high end” headphones. Okay, so here goes...
Pros: (1) These headphones sound great. I use them primarily for listening to music on my iPhone and my iPod; (2) they are lightweight, and pretty comfortable to wear. I should note that my ears are a bit sensitive, so wearing them for more than a half hour I find myself readjusting them, but I do that with every set I own; (3) they partially fold up to reduce their footprint for storage or transport; (4) they come with two cables: one for recharging them, and the other for corded use, should the rechargeable battery run low and you wish to plug them into a comparable device, such as an iPod; (5) they can be used with a Bluetooth equipped cellphone, either for listening to music, or for talking on the phone; (6) the multi-function control button, located on the left earpiece, is used to adjust the volume, change tracks, skip forward or backward on a track, answer or reject a phone call, and manage two calls at the same time; (7) there’s a neat little feature called “ShareMe,” which allows you to pair these headphones with another set of E40BT’s, so you can share music with a second person. Since I only have the one set of E40BT’s, I can’t test this feature, but I think it’s a great idea for anyone who wishes to share their music; (8) the included manual is well done and easy to read and understand. JBL was nice enough to include numerous drawings, which make the manual even easier to use; (9) and they’re very reasonably priced.
Cons: They don’t come with a carrying case. I don’t find this to be a big deal, so I’m giving these neat little headphones all five stars.
I’m very satisfied with these compact JBL E40BT headphones. You really can’t go wrong for the price.
