JBL - Everest 110 Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Gunmetal

BLUF: Another good choice in the sports/lightweight headphone department - they're comfortable to wear, good Bluetooth range, good sound with good bass extension and good battery life (8+ hours). Intro: A couple of years ago, there were very few Bluetooth headphone options, and even the expensive ones featured poor battery life, limited range, uncomfortable fit, and tinny sound quality. Now, however, we are living in the golden age of Bluetooth headphones, where the issues of range, battery life and sound quality appear to be solved problems, at least for headphones in this price range. I've recently tried several sets of headphones that were priced similarly to the Everest 110s, and all have sounded good, had 8+ hour battery life, and had no issues with pairing or staying connected. The Everest 110s are no exception. This brings issues like fit/comfort to the fore, which cannot be so easily determined. Sound quality: Very good out of the box, and improved with a few hours' use. Like most headphones, these took a couple of hours to break in; once you get past that, these sound reasonably detailed, with no background noise or hiss, good bass extension and clean but not overpowering highs. They don't leave you feeling like your ears are bleeding after a couple of hours, which is nice. Unfortunately, these don't work particularly well for placing phone calls; aside from the unnatural feeling of speaking with your ears plugged, these pick up pretty much every ambient sound in the room, sometimes making it difficult for the person on the other end to hear you. The cord connecting the left and right earpieces also makes audible "thumping" sounds if you move your head while talking. Battery life: Very good - I've run them for ten hours and still on the original charge. JBL advertises 8 hour battery life. The initial charge was very quick, so these likely come close to fully charged from the factory. JBL claims 2 hours to recharge fully. Comfort/fit: the Everest 110 uses a unique ear hook that wedges itself *inside* the ear, rather than hooking around the back of it. This makes them easier to wear with glasses. I must be lucky, because the ear gels/ear hooks that were pre-installed on the 110's fit my ears just fine. The ear hook and ear gel are two separate pieces, and the headphones include three sizes of each, so you can mix-and-match for better fit. The 100's will also stay in your ears without the hooks if you find them uncomfortable, but they aren't as secure without the hooks as they are with them. I've included photos of the fit in the ear and the sizes of ear gels with this review. I've worn the 110's for fairly long uninterrupted stints (2+ hours) while working and doing normal household activities and they have remained comfortable. Bluetooth: Quickly paired (long-press the center button on the keypad to start pairing), stayed paired with my test MacBook. No issues getting the headphones to reconnect between uses. Connection was solid and drop-out free during normal use. Range was sufficient to cover the first floor of my house.

Here Are The Details About This JBL Everest 110 Wireless Headphones I would describe this JBL product as a middle grade quality of product with a few nice features not found on other Bluetooth headphones, of which I find that this product is priced according to the quality. This pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones have the charging port located on the small rectangular control panel which also has the playback buttons and the microphone. When plugging in the charging cable, is not as easy as it should be, this is because the charging port cover is not designed very well, so that when the cover is removed for charging, it actually does not swing far enough out of the way for the micro USB cable to be plugged in easily. The cover could be snipped off and it would make the charging process easier, and not having a cover for the charging port would not affect much. If these Bluetooth headphones are connected to a smartphone, calls can be answered by pressing the play button once to answer the call, and pressing one more time will end the call. The audio playback is controlled by the one center button, one press plays audio, one press pauses the audio, and if pressing the button twice it skips to the next audio track, and pressing the button 3 times rewinds to the previous track. This pair of Bluetooth headphones does have pretty good sound, but the overall volume seems to be purposely limited to prevent the speakers from being damaged, which is a good thing, as long as you don’t like listening to music really loud. I find the maximum volume to be sufficient for most situations, as I like listening to music at a moderate volume anyways. Avoiding really loud music reduces the chance of blowing speakers, and the rechargeable lithium battery will play music longer when audio is kept to a moderate listening level. View one of the pictures with my review which shows the orange colored micro USB cable, it has a unique design which allow the bigger rectangular end to be plugged in either way. Most USB connectors can only be plugged in one way. My Overall Impression Of These Bluetooth Headphones I am rating this item at 3.6 out of 5 stars based upon the overall build quality and the selling price.

Good buy. I love these headphones for the way that they feel in the ear. There is another more expensive brand that fits the same way but JBL made the comfort even better. The headphones come with the small, medium and large ear rubbers and there is also ear rubbers for the ear molding as well. I thought that that was a great idea, good job JBL. If you have an android, Kit Kat software, your phone will be wonderful with this pair headphones. Go to your settings, click headphones and sound settings and complete the hearing test and see the amazing difference your headphones will have. For iPhone users, go to the equalizer setting on your music app and try to adjust your settings for better sound. These set of headphones in my opinion is worth the price because of the feel, the sound quality not so much but you can adjust it to your liking. I also love the battery life but the distance without the music device is not so great, I could walk from the kitchen to my bedroom, about 50 ft and the music would cut off. I have another pair of JBL headphones and I could walk all over the house and into the basement without it missing a beat. I would definitely by another pair of these headphones again!

Never fall out of my ears, comfortable and good sound. Inexpensive too. Wish they were louder (I’m a metal head)

The headphones have an excellent sound quality and for me are very comfortable when I am active. The microphone isnt the best and volume (for me) is a little too low for my taste. I wish they could include different ear piece sizes to better fit. Otherwise it's very comfortable, clear clean audio and great sound quality! Battery life is amazing as well.

The Headphones were on a sale at my local BestBuy for 49 dollars when I got these, The sound is decent and they get pretty loud. The lows are really crisp, the mid range is where these earphones shine the most. If you are looking for something that is really bass heavy these are not for you.

Enjoying these very much, excellent sound, good connectivity. Found them to be comfortable with good fit. Way better than the skullcandy that I had purchased previously.

The headphones are pretty good, and I love the battery life. They’re not very loud, but quality is good. When speaking on the phone, I’ve been told I sound muffled. Bought them at a discount, so I’d say they were worth the oroce
