Customer Ratings & Reviews

For the past 50 years I have considered myself an audiophile. When 'stereo' first came out in the early fifties I was fascinated and 'hooked'. Over time I find out how to build the latest, greatest stereo record players for family and friends using the best quality parts available at the time. Vivid music reproduction and two-channel sound separation over multiple speakers was my passion. So, needlessly to say, over the past 50 years I have spent a small fortune on sound equipment and engineering. Fortunately today, modern music enthusiasts have so many fantastic and versatile choices to select from. Since the early sixties I have used over-the-ear-headphones to thoroughly enjoy crisp, clear, harmonic stereo sound playing all kinds of music entertainment genres. Over-the-ear-headphones are still my personal means of enjoying the exhilaration and sheer pleasure of music without disturbing anyone else. So, when I had an opportunity to evaluate a complimentary set of JBL Everest 710 Over-The-Ear Wireless Headphones, I was excited. They are not only Bluetooth, but accept audio outside sources through a 3.5mm jack, can be 'paired' for shared audio with other brands of headphones using ShareMe 2.0 technology, and allow me to receive calls while I am wearing them. Big Plus! But, most important to me is that I can now listen to my entire 'retro' vinyl collection using the 3.5mm cable to my amp and equalizer since my record player is already connected to my amplifier. WooHoo! After enjoying these JBL 710 Headphones for almost two weeks. I am convinced they are the most versatile headphones for their quality and price available. They are lightweight at nine ounces, yet ruggedly built, featuring a softly padded, adjustable head band, which is very comfortable to wear. The headphones fit so well over the contour of my ears, I find them actually soothing while enjoying my music for several hours at a time. In fact I have dozed-off wearing them twice this past week alone. The earphones swivel inwardly approximately ninety degrees, which allows for optimized, over-the-ear fit, and easy packing into the included hard case. These headphones are the passive, sound isolating, kind. They are not active, electronic noise canceling. Because noise canceling utilizes 'electronic clutter noises' to block out ambient sounds I prefer the more passive sound isolation technology for clearer and crisper sounds as long as my ear pads fit well. The JBL Everest 710 Headphones are an excellent passive fit. Because the inner earphone pads are made of soft, synthetic leather material they conform well to the shape of my ears. They may not be what you should wear in 'wet' environments like in heavy workouts, or, weather outside. They can only be replaced by a JBL Service Technician. Additionally, cleaning the pads with clear water only, and, or, diluted, very mild soap seems like the only viable choices. The JBL folks wanted us to protect these headphones for storage and travel so they included a hard-backed carrying case in the box. Now for the 'Nitty-Gritty', sound quality. This is the area for which the JBL Everest 710 Headphones excel. First, they feature 40mm dynamic drivers, actually like tiny speakers in the headphone, which have larger diaphragms for more powerful bass delivery. The audible pitch of the sound is from low,10Hz, to high, 22,000Hz. The limits of our hearing range is 20Hz to 20,000Hz. So, this JBL 710 is at lower,10Hz, and higher, 22,000Hz for greater resolution sound for impact. The sound loudness, or sensitivity level is at 96db maximum – a lot of volume. Overall, the JBL engineers did a super-job of creating a mid-range unit that delivers crystal clear treble highs and balanced, rich lows that do not punish your ears. They play like ear candy – crisp and sweet listening enjoyment. Background nuance sounds like falling rain, far away thunder, or the distant chirping of birds is reproduced so you hear it as three dimensional, moving from ear to ear and as if it was in motion moving about your ear from top to bottom. Wow! I can't get enough of this dynamic studio quality sound reproduction. It is funny, but realistic too. Younger folks who have listened to music on my JBL 710 claim the bass isn't loud enough. I think they have been indoctrinated into heavy, reverberating bass kind of music genres. They don't appreciate, nor hear the subtle background refinement of less prevalent, complicated, dynamics. If you prefer loud, pulsating, ear-ringing bass, these headphones may not be for you. JBL utilizes the latest version of Bluetooth, V4.1, which delivers great sound quality. Pairing my devices (phone & other headphone unit) with the JBL 710 was extremely simple. But, Bluetooth is Bluetooth and still a 'work-in-progress'. I use Bluetooth for these headphones about eighty per cent of the time. And the ShareMe 2.0 technology is a plus, plus for connecting two sets of headphones. However, I have noticed a slight degradation in the sound quality when two headphones are connected. But, I am an old-fashioned audiophile, who loves the wired connections for reliability and non-interference. When I connected the 3.5mm cable to my amp to play my vinyl records – it was unbelievable. In fairness my record player is not Bluetooth capable so I really had no way to compare wired and wireless. But, the orchestra sounds and music was 'live' and had more depth then just over my living room speakers. Thank You, JBL. Be aware when you plug-in the 3.5mm jack to an another audio source that your internal battery power of your headphones is disconnected automatically, and the auxiliary audio device then controls the sound volume. Other Features – The JBL Everest 710 includes a hard-backed carrying case; a USB charging cable; a four foot long 3.5mm wired cable with jacks; a Quick Start Guide; a Warning Card; a Warranty Card, which encourages you to register this product for 'updates' and establish the purchasing date for your one year warranty period. It only takes two hours to charge the battery using the included USB charging cable, which gives you up to twenty-five hours of use. Wow! The 'controls' are all on the bottom of the 'R', right hand ear pad and include a sliding, 'ON', 'OFF' switch; a (+) speaker and (–) speaker volume switches; a combination play / pause, receive call and stop call switch; Bluetooth pairing switch; and the ShareMe 2.0 technology pairing device switch. Audible features talk to you as you are using the controls. A word about the controls. After two weeks of groping for the controls I now let my fingers to the 'walking'. It is only a short learning curve to get a 'feel' for the controls on the right ear pad. The more you use these headphones the quicker you learn the controls. I highly recommend these JBL Everest 710 Over-The-Ear Headphones. I love them and use them daily. The only kind of 'workout' activity I take them on is my early morning walk. They are studio quality and not really built for heavy perspiration-kind of workouts. JBL has packed a lot of quality, high-end sound in these headphones and versatile features. And, twenty-five hours of battery life on a two hour charge? For yourself, family member, or friend, this makes a great gift, which will be appreciated for many years.

I have owned more than my fair share of headphones over the years and spent a few too many years (and dollars) in the rarified air of the audiophile world. I have owned everything from a cheap earbuds to almost $1000 cans that were plugged into high end DACs & amps. I know what phenomenal sounds like and I know what junk sounds like. I made the conscious decision to settle for great because the constant search for aural nirvana just got too tiring and expensive. With that said, the JBL Everest 710s, would be a great addition to most people's collection. Outstanding battery life and comfort, paired with some kinda cool features like Bluetooth sharing with another set of headphones make these a really nice set of headphones for most music listeners. I say most because if you are into bass heavy music, you should probably not look at these, unless you also have a portable DAC/Amp or your player has a good equalizer. From a tone standpoint these are a very neutral 'voiced' set of 'phones. This is great if you like music that does well with that like jazz or country. Now that doesn't mean that these headphones don't do bass, they just didn't do it as much as I would expect from a closed-back set, especially ones that can achieve as good of a seal around your ears as these can get (at least around mine). I have a playlist of different songs and tone gradients to check out various headsets and like I said, this did very well with jazz, country, older pop music, and classical (especially strings). More modern rock and Rap/R&B came off as a little underwhelming. That is coming from an iPhone 7 using the Music app. Things improved considerably with the use of CanOpener, a popular app that adds in a nice equalizer and crossfade options. Bumping up the equalizer in the lower Hz range as some nice thump to the bass notes without getting too 'flabby' and sounding fake. At the other end of the spectrum you can also brighten up some of the highs. Your other option would be to have a nice Amp/DAC combo (either a portable set from Fiio or a desk set like from Shiit), but with these you would be using the cord which kind of defeats the purpose of BT headphones and the associate price bump. Corded and used with these sources, the Everest 710s deliver across the board and can handle pretty much any genre. These are a great portable set of over-ear headphones (which I prefer to on-ear) and also come with a nice compact case that hold the headphones neatly along with both sets of supplied cables (USB charging cable and regular headphone cord with mic). The controls on the right ear cup are intuitive and easy to use without looking at them. If you are looking for a nice traveling set of Bluetooth headphones and tend to lean towards jazz/vocal/classic rock, you will be well served by the JBL Everest 710s. If you have the right equipment, you can really make these sing, though if you have that equipment, you probably also have a drawer full of headphones for all kinds of situation (perhaps that was just me).

The JBL Everest 710 is a great set yet of headphones with decent bass. They are lightweight and comfortable to fit. They are not too heavy and they sound crystal clear. Design wise they are nice to look at and hold. Feeling pretty steady and wellbuilt. They are nice to look at and looks nice while resting on the head. While folding the headphones are nice with a strong hinge. Connecting the headphones is as easy as you think. Just connect with Bluetooth and you are ready to use them. They sound great giving you a nice range between mids and lows while keeping highs intact. Bass is a little on the low side but enough to keep me satisfied. Echo cancelling works well as I tested this keeping the headphones cupped in my had to see if the echo would persist it didn't and this is one of the major annoyances with my Bose QC. JBL past this test with flying colors and glad they are putting more tech like this inside. The claims of 25 hours is excessive but I was managing about 22-24 hours of use which doesn't bother me at all and long enough for my music needs. I don't need to charge these as often as the QC35 at all which is one of the shining points of these headphones. They also charge quite speedy. The real star of the Everest 710 features is the Share Me 2.0 is a built in bluetooth software that let other wireless bluetooth headphones to connect to the JBL headphones. My friends and family can now listen to my music from my headphones from their Bluetooth headphones...Wow! This is one of the best features I ever seen in headphones period. Watching a movie on a flight next to friends of family like this is a surreal experience. Now both can enjoy Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, or HBO GO with Bluetooth headphones. The day of having to share earbuds or one earbud is over with these JBL Everest. It's such a simple feature that can go a long ways for the consumer market and wish more OEM headphone manufactures do this. I can see myself using these more as time goes on, They are great headphones that are really solid and I wouldn't have no doubts recommending these to people I know. Harman and JBL engineering works with this set of headphones. They put a lot of thought into this consumer product that I enjoy. A few more iterations of the Everest and improvements with battery life they could have one of the biggest hits on their hands.

The moment I've put Everest 710 on - I realized these are the most comfortable over the ear headphones I ever tried! Super lightweight, and yet gripping my head securely. These are the first over the ear headphones that would fit my wife as well, typically she complains that over the ear headphones are too big for her, but not Everest 710 - we finally found something that fits perfectly. Headphones are made of plastic, very nicely put together with no rattles or loose fits, adjustable to fit easily and would fold to be stored in the included pouch. Sound quality is very impressive, I've compared Everest 710 to the pair of headphones that are much more expensive and could not find any difference in sound quality - crystal clear highs, deep and precise lows, overall sound is very balanced and well tuned. Headphones come with the 3.5mm cable so they could be used as wired or wireless, wireless connectivity works flawless, there is no degradation in audio signal quality over Bluetooth. Controls are typical and easy: volume up/down buttons work as next/previous track if held for 3 seconds, there is an additional ShareMe button that allows you to pair another set of headphones to yours and stream the same music to the second pair. It's a great feature not only for music, but for watching movies too (kind of a wireless alternative to the 3.5mm Y-cable splitter). Couple points I was not so happy about: if bluetooth connection is lost (let's say you walk away from the phone or computer) - headphones would not reconnect to the source automatically once you are close again, manual connection is required. There is also almost impossible to tell how much of a battery you have left, if can kinda estimate by looking at the bluetooth icon of your phone and if battery is about to die - you'll have a red light on the headphones as well, but it's not possible to tell - is it 70% or 50%. Overall: excellent choice if you don't want active noise cancelling and prefer lightweight model with longer battery life. If you want active noise cancelling and willing to sacrifice battery life (Everest 710 provides 25 hours of listening as opposed to just 15 hours with the "Everest Elite" noise cancelling model) and have no problem with couple of ounces of extra weight - consider "Everest Elite" model.

I grew up around Hi-Fi enthusiasts and musicians so I’m very acquainted with the JBL name. Which brings me right to the heart of the matter. The sound of the JBL Everest 710 is so reminiscent of the JBL classic speakers such as the 100s. It’s a sound favored by rock musicians and jazz artists, from studio to home. Cueing up Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga’s “Anything Goes” brings out an energized jazz orchestra, rich with drums, horns and those easily recognized, accurately rendered voices. The JBL 710 delivers clearly defined voices and more than sufficient bass. Female vocalist LP, especially from her video cover of “Halo”, is nicely presented and the talented musicians accompanying her are easy to visualize across the sound stage. The small audience at her live recording set can’t help but whoop to her vocal stretches, and they are placed properly. The voice of LP is natural, and forceful, with the bass player dominating the mix as he is supposed to in the right places. Nice. On John Legend’s “Save Room”, the driving bass doesn’t hide the entrance of the lead guitar, and Legend’s voice is warm and natural. On songs with John’s piano, it sounds like it’s right there in the room, with great resonance. Fun headphones. And, they are comfortable and light despite being loaded with l-o-n-g battery life (JBL says 25 hours, an advanced Bluetooth feature set, an available direct cable connect and phone control on the headphone cup. Plugging in the cable in lieu of Bluetooth resulted in little difference in sound quality. A lot going on here. Bluetooth connection to my phone and my laptop was easy and reliable. I got 30ft from my source before the BT signal broke up. Sound quality using the phone for calls was at least as good as directly from my phone (and maybe better). JBL adds another feature that should be useful: ShareMe extends your music to ANY other headphone. The headphone talks you through the process when you hit the share button. Seriously great feature which I got to work with my other wireless phone without drama. No Y adapter needed . . yay. These headphones click open into operating position or fold flat to fit into a nice case. Complaints: The instructions require a serious magnifying glass and good lighting. Diagrams could be labeled better. The headphone control layout is busy. Once you establish tactile guideposts and learn the purposes and placement of the 6 buttons, you’ll stop groaning. I wouldn’t mind if the verbal guidance was repeated. I’m often pulling the headphone away from my ears to see what I’m doing and I get the tail end of the guidance. Arrrgh. Most of these issues are left behind at the hump of the learning curve. I’m turning up Tom Odell popular songs, so I’m happily distracted. Summary. I like them, and can imagine using them for extended periods. Unlike earbuds, placement is not as critical with over-the-ear headphones . . . most everyone can easily achieve a comfortable and effective fit. Don’t underestimate the importance of fit. It would be easy to take them on a trip even though they aren’t noise cancelling. The fit does a nice job of rejecting outside noise but those JBL750NRs would surely be better at a modest premium, if reducing outside noise is the primary need. These headphones will appeal to a lot of people.

The JBL Everest 710 is part of the 2.0 Wireless Headphones Series by Harmon. I really like these headphones. The sound is great and they are very comfortable. They do not over amplify the base so if you are looking for that go else ware. If you want high quality wireless headphones with long battery life, easy connectivity and ability to share to other Bluetooth devices these are the headphones for you. If you need advanced noise canceling and equalization with audio calibration the Everest 750nc is the headphone for you, these are a little more expensive but worth it if you need those features. The features are: Bluetooth: Connect to any smart device using Bluetooth for amazing sound quality without the hassle of wires. With ShareMe 2.0 / Connect & share you can connect with any brand of Bluetooth headphone or speaker and share music, videos and games with friends—easily and wirelessly. The Bluetooth range is incredible, I am routinely able to listen to audio over 30 feet away or more with no breakup or loss of signal or fidelity. I verified this with various sources and seems to be independent of the device sending the audio! JBL Pro Audio Sound: These are designed by Harmon which is a Samsung company adding to the quality and experience with sound and wireless function. Echo Cancelling Microphone: Built in microphone with echo cancellation technology for crystal clear, hands-free calls. I tested this and it is the best I have ever used. My hearing impaired father could easily hear our conversation, the mic even picks up voices of others in the room well without the ambient noise. Comfort Fit: The cushions incorporate memory foam, which increase the comfort allowing a longer, more enjoyable experience. I was able to wear these headphones for several hours comfortably, none of that ear canal discomfort like the in the ear devices. Fold & Carry: A hard carrying case included. The case is high quality and the headphones fold flat, just pay attention to the diagram so that you get it right! App enabled: Personalize how you listen with the free My JBL Headphones App including easy OTA software updates, battery indicator, button customization, Voice prompt control, Auto off control with custom EQ settings. Long Battery life: 25 hours of wireless freedom with 2 hour quick recharge. I had been using these about a month before recharging, so at normal volume levels I would say JBL has conservatively estimated What's in the box: 1 x Headphones 1 x Detachable remote cable 1 x Charging cable 1 x Carrying case 1 x Warning card 1 x Warranty card 1 x Safety sheet 1 x QSG Technical Specifications: Driver size: 40mm Dynamic frequency response range: 10Hz-22kHz Sensitivity: 96dB Maximum SPL: 111dB Microphone sensitivity @1kHz dB v/pa: -42 Impedance: 32ohm Bluetooth Max Output Power: 4dBm Bluetooth transmitted modulation: GFSK,π/4DQPSK, 8DPSK Bluetooth frequency: 2.402GHz-2.48GHz Bluetooth profiles: HFP v1.6, HSP v1.2, A2DP v1.3, AVRCP v1.5 Bluetooth version: V4.1 Battery type: Polymer Li-ion Battery (3.7V, 850mAh) Charging time: 2 hours Music play time with BT on: Up to 25 hours Talk time with BT on: Up to 25 hours Weight (g): 258g I highly recommend these if you want a high quality headphone at a reasonable price.

This was my first set of JBL headphones and I was very impressed. The sound quality met and surpassed that of other big name brands that i have used in the past. The clarity and detail of the music just blew me away. Other things that I liked include a nice case that has a couple of cool features. The inside has a pattern displayed to show you how to position the headphones when putting them away, which is nice. There is also a strap that can be used to attach the case to a belt or belt loop. The headphones come with a USB charging cable and also an AUX cable for when the battery dies or you do not care to use the bluetooth. The battery life is rated at 25 hours which is far more than I could imagine needing. This is impressive. My only dislike for this product is the button positioning for power, volume, etc. I couldn't get a feel for what buttons did what while they were on my head. I'm sure with more use I will adjust, but the button placement was not intuitive for me. Overall, great cans. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a good high end set.

These headphones are extremely comfortable. They sound great, and have some nice features. The coolest feature is probably the audio sharing with Bluetooth. Basically, you can have someone else's headphones connect to the JBL headphones and hear audio from a single source. Very cool idea, and it works really well. I think the greatest selling point of these would be comfort though. The padding is very soft, and they didn't get uncomfortable with extended use. They also sound great, which is obviously an important quality when purchasing headphones. Nice, clear sound, and good bass. Pros: Very comfortable, great sound, Bluetooth audio sharing Cons: Not much honestly, the placement of the physical buttons take some getting used to, but that's about all I could find wrong with them.

The JBL Everest 710 Headphones are fantastic some of the best headphones I have ever used. Im not a big bluetooth headphone user most of the time but these headphones have great button placement they are so intuitive and easy to find. I am never second guessing myself on what button Im pressing or doing something I did not intend to. I first started out using them with the included cable but as I used the bluetooth more and the ease of it to use I have used the headphones more often with bluetooth. Another Bluetooth feature I enjoyed was the share me. My blu ray player can send audio out bluetooth so you can listen to movies on your headphones. turned on the share me feature connected an older pair of bluetooth headphones my wife had and viola we were both watching a movie with our headphones on. The sound quality is really good also, most people will want to know if the headphones have good bass. I think they do have very good bass, now saying that I do not think that these are extremely bass heavy headphones the sound is very balanced. Overall I really enjoy these headphones, they are honestly some of the best I have used and they do not cost you an arm and a leg.

Early morning commutes to work in the cold with these nice over the ear headphones to keep your ears warm sound good to me! Quality is what you'd expect from JBL. The bluetooth connectivity works great with my iPhone and easily connects as expected, although the extra feature it provides is a little bit advanced and I'm not sure if I'd ever use it with someone else that has bluetooth headphones.

These are classic over the ear headphones that don’t disappoint. They are cheaper than all the other headphones and have a 25 hour battery life. When I found that out I loved them. Next, they are wireless and also come with a remote talk cable. So if your on a long flight and your out of the 25 hour battery life, or if you want to just use them on a plane with wires, they dont need battery power and can be plugged in any time and the audio is still very good. What I like about these JBL Everest 710 is that the music is loud and you can turn these up. I listen to music loud and these get very loud and feel very snug on your head. I simply love my time using them. No thinking, did I by the best headphones? Are they loud enough?When you put these on they simply rock. I love the silver color and the other purples and metallic colors JBL came out with! It’s not just black or silver, these Everest’s come in metallic vibrant colors. They also come with a hard carrying case and last years model just had like a pouch, and that was only for the noise canceling model. When I found out that all the new JBL headphones in the Everest section came with hard cases I was sold. Regardless of a case these headphones are just clear and loud. I love music and these are simply loud! Best headphones I ever bought!

Extremely comfortable headphones, great sound. Only drawback is no app to control bass, treble, etc.

I got these on a black Friday special for $125, more than I expected. These have a really balanced and clear sound. You can hear every detail clearly, but can still hear the into the lower range of bass. Now days everyone wants the ear blowing bass, but I enjoy a lot of instrumental music. My go to rock/pop album is a oldie but goldie digital recording. Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" you can hear the bass lines and the background guitar riffs clearly at the same time. Only CON is that it uses a smaller plug input, I think its 2.5mm. I have not looked for an extra cord yet.

The bass and treble are well balanced. The headphones stay charged for a long while, I can listen to music for a few days for a few hours before recharging. Soft pads are confortble for extenteded use. Brought on sale after Thanksgiving for a great price.

These headphones have exceeded every expectation. They sound great and love that they can pair with other Bluetooth headphones to share music. My fiancé and I use it when we work out and it’s amazing!

I bought these because they were on clearance and I am extremely impressed with the sound quality and comfort of wear. The Bluetooth feature works effortlessly with no issues in pairing with different Apple products. I haven't tried syncing with any Android products as of yet. They are sometimes hard to fold up to put back in the case but that doesn't subtract from the quality, so no decrease of the 5 star grade.

Bought these for my daughter. Durable, awesome sound, they charge quick, & really do last around 25 hours with continuous use.

Great product. These headphones are great. Sound quality is decent, and they are comfortable. Battery life is insane. I literally didn't charge them for 3 months when I first bought them. I would use them everyday when I would do my homework. I would highly recommend these headphones.

Headphones have good quality they sound nice (less bass) than I thought and do not reduce the outside noise as I was expecting

These headphones have fantastic sound!! The fit is great. It works well with Android and IPhones.
