Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Sound tested well for an on-ear at this price
  • Around 61 h in their battery test
  • Multipoint worked well; folds flat
  • Near-neutral default tuning with bass that still reaches deep
  • Measured 60 h 39 min, beating the claim
  • Long Bluetooth range, AAC, light and foldable
  • Buttons easy to use by feel

Cons

  • Strong clamp
  • No wired listening
  • Mic compresses voices and struggles in wind
  • Hardly blocks low rumble
  • Clamp made the reviewer's ears sore
  • Thin pleather pads may wear early
  • Treble sometimes harsh
  • SoundGuysJun 2025

    A safe budget on-ear buy: lab sound tested well and the battery runs for about 60 hours.

  • A basic but good-sounding entry JBL headphone for people who don't need noise cancelling.
