My brother is dropping mine off right now, so excited! This video just made me feel real good about the purchase

[@keveshannaidoo5670]

How it sounds

[@jordanpowers5813]

Fantastic 👍

[@alleebrett6432]

I love these!!! I got them after being soooo disappointed in the Cowin E7 Pros despite all the glowing reviews. I’m not a gamer but I’m a dancer so I always have headphones and music going. For the price, and since I can’t afford Bose, I have nothing but good things to say about these

[@ehtarmoo3673]

This is the most realistic review ever.!! Better than the review videos which are talking only about the spes of products. Great job.. love this one!!

[@sealife13]

I love these! I had the budget for expensive headphones and tried the bose quit comfort and sony mdr1000 and went back to this one. Very good soundstage probably thanks to the 50 mm drivers.

[@noelarcala4435]

thats it im done . im buying this . thanks for the reviee man

[@larosh3156]

Kinda late but bought the headphones locally and then watched your review. Just loved them more, awesome review man.

These headphones are a triumph of design. They are really light durable and have professional fidelity. Without question the best I've owned.

[@micolvillaflor1177]

Can you tell me what voltage and amperage does support JBL E55BT Quincy Edition?

[@revengeofthesynth5430]

I have a pair of E55BT's. I really like them for several reasons, and agree that the sound quality is excellent, but if you really want to see audio from a whole new world... for a very reasonable price... you have to buy from brands that don't sell their products in any retail/chain big box stores like Walmart, Target, or Best Buy. The E55BT are worth about exactly what you paid for them, $80, most definitely not $150 (their original MSRP), but they are a wonderful purchase at $80. Still though, I want to introduce you to something else, since you already have some good taste in headphones, and take you to a professional industry sound design brand level. I probably sound like I am trying to sell you some product myself, but I assure you that's not the case, and you'll clearly see that when you look into my recommendation. I just felt compelled to comment on your channel when I stumbled across this review from a fellow E55BT user, and likewise, a fellow guy who gets hyped when he finds exceptional quality headphones for prices that aren't completely absurd! Lemme know if you see this, if you're in the mood for an upgrade :)

[@nym4960]

Great review! Just bought them for $64 at Walmart while watching this video!

[@hawkbird6294]

i gotta say, im slowly becoming a bit of a JBL fangirl.. i have all their speakers and just bought these, only complaint, the aux input is friggin 1.5mm.. not a fan of that, but other than that i love em so far!

[@shaney3541]

Are they still the best three years later?

[@zacktempelton8126]

do they go completely over the ear or they sit on the ear. cause i wear specs my ears hurt with on the ears ones. i need headphones that can completely cover my ears. any suggestions?

[@hXcHector]

Over the ear.

[@maxblood161]

I also got this headphones like 2 years back or so and I also thik this headphones are realy good. But one think is realy bad. Every one around you hears your Musik if your Volume is over 50%. And I'm a person who don't link this. The newer JBL live 650btnc is much better in this point and also have Active Noise canceling.

[@maxblood161]

Maybe anyone will see this.. One year later 🤣

[@carlwulffsahlen2688]

Thanks for a great review, it really helped!

[@nnslg]

Good review, thanks. My supermarket is having 50% sale on all headphones for people with their card (me), I need PS4 gaming/music headphones badly, they're 120 euros but would be 60 with the discount ... still looking at other headphones but these have shot to the top of my list, I appreciate ear comfort and good sound over looks...

All the headphones I've used have been reviewed on my channel. It's not much. As I said in this video, this was the first time I splurged on headphones and spent $100.

Hi Bro..Is it compatible with Laptop for talking calls ? I would like to use it for Skype calls since it has aux cable.

[@hXcHector]

I suppose you can do that. I connect it to my computer, but I don't use the mic that much since I have a much better Blue mic.

[@hooleesheet9182]

Hello , first of all this is the best review of this headphones . Secondly , I am using apple earbuds for about 3 years now through those years I have tried many headphones and earphones of famous brands(skull candy , beats , etc...) that were more expensive but care about bass more than sound quality , that's why I liked apple earbuds more , the singer's vocals are very clear and I can hear every instrument crisp and clear . So , if you ever tried apple earbuds can you tell me if it this e55bt headphones are better than them ? I will buy this headphones soon and I don't want to be dissapointed .

[@hXcHector]

I have tried apple's earbuds in the past, but it's been a long time since I dislike ear buds all together. I always go for the over the ear style headphones. But yes, these headphones make great quality files sound very clear and crisp, but the bass is a tiny bit on the low side. Well, I think it's just right. We've just grown accustom to bass boosting.

[@hooleesheet9182]

hXc Hector thanks for the fast reply ! I like over ear headphones too because it isolate some noise , but if you can try apple earbuds that came with iphone 6 and above soon that will be great to compare them and tell me the results , but when you compare please let your hate to earbuds aside just compare the clearness of sound . lol .

[@svendermen9271]

Beats are overpriced ...

[@nikiboi2cool]

Are these noise cancellation headsets?

[@hXcHector]

They cancel out some noise, yes. Not 100% noise cancellation or what not, and they don't advertise it as noise cancelling headphones. I explained in the video.

[@Rahul-ef2ou]

They don’t have ANC but have good isolation due to overhear design

They're not strapped down securely to withstand the bounce, and they're far too light and fragile. They'd snap.

[@mtt3870]

They are really good, I got mine for $50.00 brand new. The sound is superb. The battery last a really long time, I’ve used them for two weeks for more than one hour a day and the battery held up to the task. Really great headphones. Although it would be nice to be able to listen while charging, it is not really necessary, if after listen for (let’s be conservative) 15+ hours you cannot find 2 hours to charge them... there is something wrong with the user not the headphones.

[@hXcHector]

Is possible to listen to them while charging, but it is very cumbersome

[@mtt3870]

hXc Hector listen wirelessly is not possible, but like I said, they can go for 15+ hours, surely there is time to charge them, cannot think of anyone using the headphones for over 15 hours without a few hours rest.... even if used by a couple of individuals
